Digital Traceability Event
The Digital Traceability Event (DTE) is a core UNTP credential that captures critical events in a product’s supply chain, such as object event, transaction, aggregation, association and transformation. Issued as W3C Verifiable Credentials, DTEs provide essential data including event type, timestamp, location and links to products or facilities, enabling end-to-end traceability and transparency in supply chain operations.
