Different industries and businesses use fragmented data storage solutions, many of which are not interoperable, making it difficult to share or verify information across platforms.
The lack of standardization and secure data sharing limits collaboration, increases costs, and introduces bottlenecks in cross-industry transactions.
Many businesses are hesitant to adopt blockchain technology due to a lack of understanding, concerns over complexity, and perceived high implementation costs.
This resistance slows the modernization of data management, leaving industries stuck with outdated processes that fail to meet the demands of a digital economy.
Without a decentralized solution, the verification process remains opaque, with no way to ensure that data hasn't been modified post-verification.
This lack of security can lead to financial losses, reputational damage, and a lack of trust from consumers, partners, and regulators.
Polkattest is a Substrate-based blockchain integrating a custom Pallet Attestations alongside frame pallets such as Smart Contracts, Balance, and Treasury. It enables secure, immutable records known as Attestations, fostering trust and reducing the risk of data tampering.
Through ink! Smart Contracts, Polkattest powers an entire ecosystem of dApps focused on attestations, including voting systems, Polkadot treasury fund attestations, RAW data attestations, etc.

A schema is a predefined structure that defines the format and type of data to be attested on the blockchain. Think of it as a template that specifies fields like names, numbers, or dates, ensuring the consistency and validity of the attestation data.
Schemas also support ink! contracts, enabling complex logic attached to attestations, which unlocks new possibilities in areas such as decentralized identity or automated token minting.
Attestations are cryptographically signed records that confirm a specific action or claim was made, ensuring that the data is tamper-proof and stored immutably on-chain. While Polkattest provides the infrastructure to record these attestations on the blockchain securely, it does not verify the authenticity of the data or events themselves. Instead, we serve as a tool for creating immutable, transparent records, enabling users to store and access their own proofs on a decentralized system without intermediaries.
Attached contracts allow developers to embed custom logic within attestations. This functionality opens the door to innovative dApps that go beyond basic verification by supporting features like:
- Automatic payments
- Token minting
- Access control triggered by attestations
These features enable advanced use cases in areas like governance, supply chain tracking, and decentralized identity systems.
