1. Introduction

ObjectID is a universal digital identifier designed to assign a certain and tamper-proof identity to any real-world product, regardless of its type, industry, or complexity. At its core, ObjectID guarantees that a physical object can be uniquely and indisputably recognized in the digital realm.

This minimum functionality—a secure, verifiable identity—makes it possible to anchor trust directly to the object itself. Whether it’s a bottle of wine, a spare part, a luxury handbag, or a recycled material, ObjectID ensures that the product cannot be confused, duplicated, or faked.

But ObjectID doesn’t stop at identification.

The system also allows for the optional recording of lifecycle events, creating a digital thread that follows the object from its creation to its end of life. These events may include:

• Manufacturing and quality checks
• Logistics and ownership transfers
• Retail and post-sale interactions
• Maintenance, servicing, or warranty claims
• Recycling, reuse, or final disposal

By storing these events on a distributed ledger, ObjectID transforms any object into a transparent data carrier, enabling traceability, accountability, and new forms of value creation—while ensuring that the data cannot be altered or forged.

In a world where trust, compliance, and provenance are becoming more important than ever, ObjectID offers a modular yet powerful foundation for connecting the physical and digital worlds with integrity.
