Hello all from SFY Labs team,
SimplyChain is a decentralized blockchain platform designed by SFY Labs to simplify the use of blockchain for Italian businesses . It leverages account abstraction and a token-free registration system, allowing companies to interact with blockchain technology without technical barriers.
Built on the NeuroWeb blockchain — secured by Polkadot, SimplyChain ensures high security, interoperability, and scalable decentralized knowledge infrastructure. The platform is tailored for the Made in Italy sector, enabling businesses to:
-
Easily register products in batches on the blockchain
-
Generate printable QR codes to apply directly on product labels
-
Manage all product certification steps without worrying about technical complexity
SimplyChain was developed after extensive research with Italian companies, which revealed strong interest in blockchain-based certification but significant challenges in implementation. The platform simplifies the entire process, offering a stress-free way to start creating product registrations and certifications — making blockchain practical and accessible for businesses.
SimplyChain introduces a simplified, token-free blockchain platform tailored for businesses, enabling them to register products, generate QR codes, and certify their items on-chain without technical barriers.
Previously, Italian companies interested in blockchain certification faced high complexity and technical difficulties, limiting adoption. SimplyChain solves this by providing a user-friendly interface, batch registration tools, and account abstraction, making blockchain practical for enterprise use.
At SFY Labs, we began by conducting market research in our region. It became clear that many Italian companies, despite producing goods of the highest quality and with certified supply chains that represent real added value, have never adopted blockchain solutions, still relying today on traditional paper or digital records.
The main reason is that, until now, using blockchain has required direct technical expertise from companies — a significant barrier in a production environment that excels in quality but often lags behind in technology. It is no surprise that Italian SMEs rarely choose solutions such as VeChain (with very few exceptions), while large enterprises tend to rely on IBM, an extremely expensive service accessible only to companies with very high revenues.
A concrete example is Olio Ponti, which uses blockchain certification via IBM — an interesting project, but sustainable only thanks to the size and revenue of the company.
Our approach is different: we want to offer a democratic, low-cost, and above all easy-to-use service designed for companies with low transaction volumes — those that currently do not even consider blockchain due to cost and complexity barriers.
We have already initiated MVP agreements with local wine producers, each with an annual output of around 20,000 bottles. These are small batches, but for these businesses, complementing product quality with an innovative digital certification process can represent a major competitive advantage — far more impactful than in large-scale cases like Olio Ponti.
Furthermore, while solutions adopted today by large producers often limit themselves to a QR code that points to a raw text string on a blockchain explorer — practically incomprehensible to the final consumer — SimplyChain offers a user-friendly and immediately readable approach:
-
Generation of a QR code linking to a formatted HTML page with all blockchain-certified data
-
Automatic creation of a PDF summarizing all certified steps
-
Ability to download the generated HTML pages, so companies can host them on their own digital platforms
In this way, we transform technical data into an accessible narrative that elevates the brand and creates a truly useful and understandable tool for consumers — while remaining sustainable and cost-effective for companies of any size.
It is also important to emphasize that SFY Labs is not a newcomer. We have been active in the Web3 space for years, and we bring more than 15 years of experience in digital development, with strong expertise in 3D graphics and the creation of virtual environments in the Web2 world.
This background allowed us to understand a crucial point: the challenge of blockchain adoption is not the lack of technical services — similar tools already exist — but rather process management, insufficient training, and the lack of internal company roles capable of supervising these systems.
The truth is that many Italian companies with revenues below a few million euros do not even have a fully structured paper-based documentation of their supply chain. Expecting them to manage a complex blockchain system is simply unrealistic.
For this reason, with SimplyChain, we are designing an extremely intuitive interface that functions almost like a small corporate social network. This way, certification and data management do not require specialized personnel or advanced training — they can be managed by existing staff (for example, people responsible for quality or communication) without additional costs or new hires.
A very delicate aspect is regulation. Each country has its own laws, and in Italy they are particularly strict. This is also why we want to start from our local market before expanding internationally.
It is important to highlight that our document certification system is already active: users can upload any file, generate a SHA-256 hash, and register it on the blockchain.
The business model will be based on a credit-recharge system within the platform, using traditional payment methods.
Companies will be able to purchase credits according to their needs and the number of product registrations they intend to create.
There will be no subscriptions or long-term commitments.
We will also offer the ability for each company to customize their experience, including bulk transaction support and the integration of AI Agents to streamline and automate all certification processes.
Team & Execution
SFY – StickyFactory is a company founded 15 years ago in the Web2 world. Our LinkedIn page is mainly used to showcase our 3D graphic work. The company originally started as a sticker printing business (hence the name StickyFactory), and later evolved to include graphic design, post-production effects, and 3D work (we create configurators, websites, and VR environments).
In 2019, we expanded our team by bringing in blockchain developers and a Unity game development specialist.
We are a structured organization and have completed several significant Web3 projects. Some highlights include:
-
Polkadot / Parity — selected to design visuals and an NFT collection for sub0 Lisbon
-
Subsquid— 3D marketing campaign and NFT collection
-
Moonbeam — current grant for Age of Chronos, a Unity-based Web3 game using RMRK
-
RMRK— recognized as artists, grant to build a digital museum with composable NFTs
-
Bifrost— 3D marketing campaign and NFT collection
In short, we have already delivered a lot and are a recognized team within the Polkadot ecosystem.
