Argentina’s agro sector lacks transparent, low-cost tokenization. High fees, weak traceability, and no unified system block SMEs from real liquidity and trusted grain-to-livestock certification.
We’re building the first end-to-end Cardano agricultural tokenization stack in Argentina, mixing solid Web3 infra with a light touch of AI automation to make everything actually usable in the field.

Supply Chain
Describe what makes your idea innovative compared to what has been previously launched in the market (whether by you or others).
Our solution is the first dual agricultural tokenization framework—covering both grains and livestock—built natively on Cardano and enhanced by AI automation. Unlike existing Agrotech platforms that focus on isolated assets or centralized data silos, this project integrates:
This unified, AI-assisted RWA infrastructure does not exist in Argentina or the region. It combines blockchain, AI, and live agricultural workflows into a single scalable ecosystem with immediate real-world use.
Describe what your prototype or MVP will demonstrate, and where it can be accessed.
Describe realistic measures of success, ideally with on-chain metrics.
Through verifiable outputs, testnet activity, and cooperative adoption, including: One cooperative pilot completed, validating real agricultural workflows. Dashboard usage metrics: lifecycle views, provenance checks, certification validations. Livestock and grain lifecycle events captured via AI agents. User feedback from SMEs, cooperatives, and local partners. Engagement reach from PR/KOL campaign

How does the cost of the project represent value for the Cardano ecosystem?
This project brings Argentina’s full agri-power — grain + livestock — onto Cardano, backed by USDM and boosted by real AI muscle from the ASI Alliance partners. We’re building tools that farmers can actually use, cooperatives can trust, and exporters can scale. A clean, open-source, AI-driven supply chain — LATAM made for export.
Delivers exceptional value for Cardano by creating a full, open-source tokenization infrastructure for Argentina’s grain and livestock sectors— two massive real-world markets. With AI automation, USDM settlement, Plutus contracts, and a cooperative-tested MVP, the project drives real adoption, expands Cardano’s RWA footprint across LATAM, and provides reusable tools for the entire ecosystem at an efficient cost.

This proposal builds the first unified grain-and-livestock tokenization infrastructure on Cardano for Argentina — a full Grain-to-Chain and Livestock-to-Ledger ecosystem powered by USDM settlement, AI agents, cooperative-grade traceability, and Plutus-secured token flows. It delivers real adoption for a multi-billion-dollar sector, turning Cardano into the backbone of Argentina’s next agricultural leap.
Backed by @ASI_Alliance, @SingularityNET, @Fetch_ai, @CUDOS_, and reinforced locally with TxPipe’s @txpipe_tools PoK-solid engineering, we combine AI automation, MeTTa cognitive reasoning, decentralized compute, and Cardano-native infra into one powerful RWA engine.

Argentina a system built for the campo, not for PowerPoints — a platform cooperatives and SMEs can actually use.
Jorge Luis Borges’s vision from El Aleph:
In the same spirit, blockchain and AI let us see — and verify — every step of the supply chain without confusion: every grain batch, every animal, every certificate, every transaction, all coexisting in a single trustworthy ledger.
This project captures that Aleph-like clarity; A decentralized point where all agricultural events become transparent, auditable, interoperable, and automated by AI. That’s the paradigm shift — bringing the entire agro-industry into a future where information is complete, visible, and incorruptible.
With strong alliances, local adoption partners, and a dev team que la tiene clara, this MVP is designed to scale across Argentina and LATAM. We are ready to ship, ready to onboard cooperatives, and ready to plant Cardano as the core infrastructure of the region’s agri-economy.
