About Weave3 |
Pioneering the We Economy
Weave3 creates open-source, value-innovated Digital Product Passports that make supply chain tracing and sustainability data accessible to anyone, anywhere, for free. We are a Digital Public Infrastructure project with a tight Product-Market Fit. We create robust, real-time data that removes blinders to better, faster, and cheaper climate remediation and network effects that accelerate the circular economy transition years ahead of schedule.
We're a Web3, on-chain project which natively increases bargaining leverage for stakeholders at the bottom. Higher stakeholder agency ripples through relationships to move power away from those who control value towards those who create it. Web3 begins economic transformation from centering shareholder value to creating stakeholder value. Welcome to the We Economy.
What is the Weave3 Project?
Weave3 is a transformative Digital Public Infrastructure project that incorporates the Global South into the EU's Green Deal and 2026 supply chain tracing. We create value-innovated Digital Product Passports (DPPs) designed for the Global South's cultural and economic realities. For anyone, anywhere. For free. Better DPPs make the EU's Green Deal, the UN's SDGs, the Earthshot Prize's citizen monitoring, and high-value fashion circularity work or work better. Open architecture and free DPPs drive network effects and scale that bring individuals and MSMEs into the circular economy years ahead of plan.
Existing Ethereum DPP solutions are too expensive, resource-heavy, top-down, unscalable, and centralized—which makes them unethical in the Global South. We overcome the mismatch in Product Market Fit with an emergent approach to compliance that avoids cultural intrusion and ongoing colonialism.
Without viable DPP alternatives, India's handwoven textiles face exclusion from EU markets (losing 30% of sector sales), and 2.5 trillion in EU imports remain untraceable, jeopardizing Green Deal success. Without real-time tracing, markets make high-risk trillion-dollar decisions using derived rather than actual data.
Our open-source pilot in Gujarat matches suppliers with buyers, automates cooperative-style Enterprise Resource Planning, and traces bottom-up sustainability data from cotton seeds to clothes. On-chain technology creates the conditions for maker agency and empowerment, which increases bargaining power. Higher maker leverage ripples through relationships to move power away from those who control value towards those who create it.
What Problem Does Weave3 Address?
"If you can't measure it, you can't improve it." — Peter Drucker
We remove data blindfolds that block decarbonization and circular economy activation by including small users, low-resource countries and using real-time tracing data. We make climate remediation work or work better-faster-cheaper.
Digital Product Passport solutions currently available from GS1 and private markets are unworkable, unethical, and unfit for purpose. They fail Product-Market Fit because they rely on expensive, non-interoperable Ethereum solutions that ignore real-world constraints and use derived data.
Real-time supply chain data and proper technology tools are essential to meet the letter and spirit of the EU's Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Reporting (ESPR) regulation. Current solutions are unworkable in low-resource environments, unwise in their top-down approach, and unethical for being too expensive, culturally intrusive, and unscalable. Current DPPs exclude the Global South, make regulatory compliance almost impossible, and create ongoing policy risk because derived data can be manipulated.
How is Weave3 Transformational?
Weave3 could become the universal way we measure to manage the $100 trillion global economy for climate remediation. The project leverages distributed Web3 technology to collect real-time, verifiable data that grounds climate action, regulatory compliance, and corporate decisions in facts. Working on-chain activates systemic change that shifts power from those who control value to those who create it. Weave3 is the vanguard of blockchain-style frameworks that construct public benefit projects to act on climate, circularity, human rights, and governance.
Powered by Holochain, a Digital Public Good, Weave3's Digital Public Infrastructure builds value-innovated Digital Product Passports (DPPs) that reduce friction in the circular economy. Our open-source tools help traditionally excluded Global South smallholder farmers, artisans, and makers preserve trade flows by meeting Ecodesign for Sustainability Products Reporting (ESPR) standards. This model scales across sectors, driving science-based climate targets and a more inclusive global economy.
