System Protocol

Transparent Verification Methodology.

PepTrace combines analytical evidence, community review, and cryptographic provenance to establish transparent scientific verification standards.

1. Evidence Standards

All data on the PepTrace network must be backed by rigorous analytical evidence. The system accepts specific document types to establish compound validity.

  • Certificates of Analysis (COAs): Verifying purity and identity from accredited third-party labs.
  • HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography): For quantitative purity profiling.
  • LC-MS (Liquid Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry): For precise molecular mass verification.
  • Batch Verification: Ensuring longitudinal consistency across supplier manufacturing runs.

2. Verification Tiers

Pending Review

Evidence has been uploaded and anchored on-chain but awaits community and algorithmic verification.

Community Verified

Initial tests confirm validity, corroborated by decentralized reviewers or matching past heuristics.

Tier 1 Verified

Supplier has a continuous, cryptographically verified history of >99% purity across multiple batches.

Disputed / Under Review

Evidence has been flagged for anomalies, conflicting reports, or suspicious metadata.

3. Community Review

Verification is not a black box. The evidence review process is fully transparent and open to the scientific community.

Public verification discussion happens directly on the evidence metadata layer. If a COA appears manipulated (e.g., matching pixel noise from a previous report), the community flagging system initiates a dispute escalation.

This peer-to-peer review acts as the ultimate immune system against fraudulent data.

4. Provenance System

PepTrace relies on a decentralized, immutable record architecture to guarantee evidence longevity.

When analytical reports are submitted, they are timestamped and cryptographically signed on the Solana blockchain. This creates transparent audit trails and provenance chains.

Once evidence is on-chain, it cannot be quietly deleted or modified. The timeline is mathematically absolute.

5. Scientific Integrity

Our core operating principle is transparency-first. There is zero tolerance for unverifiable claims.

By enforcing an evidence-based methodology and open scientific standards, PepTrace ensures that researchers have the absolute certainty required to conduct reproducible, safe science.
