SBI Genetics Protocol

Authenticity for Every Seed

The first platform to permanently authenticate genetic transfers with cryptographic provenance. Protect your work. Prove authenticity. Earn royalties from every descendant.

Genetics worth billions.
Zero infrastructure to prove it.

Strains like Grape Stomper and Mendo Breath have generated immense value across the industry — but the original creators rarely see a fraction of it. There's no system to track genetic lineage, verify authenticity, or ensure breeders are compensated when their work is commercialized.

Until now.

How It Works

From seed to certificate in four seamless steps. Fully automatic.

Step 01

Breeder Registers

A breeder lists a strain on SBI with full lineage data — mother, father, generation, phenotype notes. The system timestamps and hashes the registration.

Step 02

Certificate Generated

When a buyer purchases seeds, a unique provenance certificate is automatically created. It records the strain, lineage, breeder, buyer, and transaction with a cryptographic hash.

Step 03

Authenticity Verified

The buyer can scan a QR code to verify their seeds are genuine. The certificate is permanent, verifiable proof of the genetic transfer.

Step 04

Royalties Flow

If the buyer commercializes the strain — sells seeds, clones, or products — the original breeder can receive their configured royalty through the platform.

The Provenance Certificate

Every transaction on SBI produces a unique, verifiable certificate. It's not just a receipt — it's cryptographic proof of genetic provenance that can be verified by anyone, anywhere, at any time.

  • Unique SHA-256 hash per transaction
  • Full lineage tree embedded in certificate
  • QR code for instant verification
  • Shareable verification URL
  • Breeder authentication stamp
  • Timestamped proof of purchase
