FAQs
The Arianee protocol allows brands to create NFTs (aka digital product passports) for their products. These digital product passports (DPPs) are deployed on Blockchain and displayed on a customer-friendly interface such as a smartphone or a web browser, creating a digital link between the brand and the DPP owner.
Moreover, the technology developed by Arianee is open and interoperable, allowing to be used by Brands to :
- Link NFTs to a validated Brand Identity that’s registered on the Blockchain
- Create NFTs on the blockchain as a digital product passport
- Transfer DPPs from one owner to another,
- Prove ownership of an DPP by allowing the DPP owners to generate a “proof of ownership”,
- Send messages and interact with owners via their DPPs,
- Link events via time-stamp to a DPPand share data with selected stakeholders
- Store the DPP History and allow the owners to access it whenever they wish to,
- Update the content of the DPP
That’s a great question! Often when people talk about blockchain technology, they mention the fact that some networks emit a lot of Co2. This is true when it comes to Bitcoin technology but we, at Arianee, have decided to make sure that our carbon footprint is as low as possible from day one.
In fact, Arianee operates on two Ethereum side chains under Proof-of-Stake (PoS)(Polygon) and Proof-of-Authority (PoA) which are very efficient in terms of energy consumption. We audited our Carbon and Energy footprint and we’re very proud to say that even if we reach the threshold of 200 million NFTs created in one year, our carbon footprint is only 25% of what a french family emits in one year.

Would you believe us if we said that Arianee comes from a Greek legend? From the legend of Arianee (pronounced Ariadne) to be more precise. While the details of the story vary depending on the narrator, one part of it remains consistent through time:
With a thread of glittering jewels, Ariadne helped the Athenian hero Theseus escape the Labyrinth after he slew the Minotaur.
That brought on the expression “Ariadne’s thread”, which describes finding a solution to a problem through the exhaustive application of logic to all possible options.In today's internet "labyrinth", we connect users, products and brands with digital passports: We believe
“Arianee” is a perfect name to represent what we stand for and believe. In reality, there could be no better name for a structure committed to helping companies and sectors negotiate the new internet – a labyrinth whose challenges far exceed those faced by Theseus – than Arianee.
