Request Your Advice For GA: OriLife-Traceability Platform Without Labels

Dear Cardano Community, dReps, and Constitutional Committee Members,

The OriLife Alliance is going to submit a Treasury Withdrawal Governance Action. Before submitting this on-chain, we would like to subject our proposal to the rigorous scrutiny of this community.

OriLife is a bio-identification platform based on morphology and life context, not relying on labels and physical stamps, so it cannot be swapped. Farmers and consumers can trace the origin of food by pointing their smartphone’s camera at the agricultural products’ surface, similar to how people are traced using fingerprints and facial recognition.

It is built from core technologies we have been developing for over two years, resulting in a practical application. We need to develop it quickly due to seasonal pressures and to take advantage of Vietnam’s legal framework and the strong demand for traceability in international markets. Therefore, we propose a Treasury Withdrawal GA, going to submit before epoch 627, Apr 25th, 2026.

If granted, at least 24,000 farmers and 180 million durian fruits will be identified on Cardano, ready to expand to any product derived from agricultural, forestry, and aquatic resources all over the world, facilitating the flow of transactions from the general consumer base in the real-world to Cardano.

What We Need From You

We invite CC members, dReps, SPOs and ADA holders to review our draft proposal. We are specifically looking for feedback on:

1. Value vs. Cost: Does this proposal generate enough real value for the Cardano ecosystem to justify the requested $600k USD (₳2.4m ADA) budget? If not, what specifically should we add to make it worth the grant?

2. Transparency vs. Agility: Is our proposed budget and milestone disbursement roadmap transparent enough? If not, how can we make it more transparent without dragging the team into heavy administrative procedures that slow down actual development?

3. Content Quality: Is the content of this GA standard and clear enough? If not, what do we need to add, or what unnecessary parts should we remove?

Thank you for your time, your expertise, and your dedication to Cardano’s future. We are ready to answer any questions below!

I want to take a moment to publicly thank @YUTA_Oishi for the incredibly sharp, rigorous, and relentless 50+ question stress-test he put our proposal through recently.

Those hard-hitting questions regarding unit economics, historical failures in agricultural blockchain, and post-pilot sustainability forced us to dig deep and crystallize our arguments. The results of that debate have deeply strengthened this GA (specifically captured in Community Q&A). This is exactly what decentralized governance should look like.

As we move forward, I want to make one thing clear: We still want your toughest questions.

Even after this GA is formally submitted on-chain, please keep the brutal feedback coming in this thread. We are no longer looking for feedback just to “polish a proposal” to get funding. We are looking for feedback to bulletproof the actual product.

If you see a flaw in our architectural logic, our compliance adapter, or our biometric approach, tell us. Your scrutiny helps our Alliance build a more robust, battle-tested infrastructure that brings real value to the Cardano ecosystem and drives genuine transparency in global supply chains.

Thank you all. The floor is always open.
