The Trust Layer Alliance: Why Industry-Neutral Infrastructure Wins
Executive Summary
Every player in the circular economy — OEM, grader, marketplace, insurer — depends on trust, yet none can impose a universal standard.
Proprietary verification frameworks have failed because they compete instead of connect.
The future belongs to neutral infrastructure.
Neutrality as Architecture, Not Slogan
DeviceStamp isn’t a platform claiming ownership; it’s a protocol that coordinates proof.
Partners retain their own data and branding, but all lifecycle events are anchored through a shared verification framework.
Each event is:
- Signed by the issuer
- Hashed on-chain
- Retrievable via public infrastructure
Verifiable by anyone — controlled by no one.
The Trust Layer Alliance Vision
An open network where:
- OEMs confirm parts authenticity
- Graders certify condition
- Marketplaces display verifiable quality
- Recyclers prove responsible processing
All through one common proof fabric.
Why Neutrality Scales
Neutral systems remove negotiation friction.
When every participant benefits equally, adoption compounds naturally.
That’s why DeviceStamp is positioning itself not as another marketplace or operator layer,
but as the trust backbone for circular commerce.
Infrastructure wins because it unites where others compete.
