PharmaTrace has been awarded 300,000 HBAR in funding through the Thrive Hedera program to support the development of what the company describes as a regulated Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network (DePIN) for pharmaceutical supply chains. 

Transition Toward a Public-Permissioned Model

PharmaTrace currently operates its track-and-trace system on Hyperledger Fabric, offering serialization and compliance tools for pharmaceutical and healthcare clients. According to the company, the new funding will assist in its transition from a private, permissioned ledger to a public-permissioned architecture built on Hedera.

The shift aims to enable broader interoperability while maintaining privacy for sensitive business data. Public verification of supply chain events is expected to be a core function of the upgraded network.

Hedera’s Role in the Migration

Hedera’s hashgraph technology will be used to support several components of the planned system. PharmaTrace intends to utilize the Hedera Token Service (HTS) to represent serialized products and the Hedera Consensus Service (HCS) to record verifiable event logs originating from its existing Fabric infrastructure.

Mirror nodes on Hedera will allow regulators and authorized parties to independently validate certain supply chain events without accessing confidential systems.

Positioning Within the Track-and-Trace Landscape

PharmaTrace’s approach places it alongside other serialization and traceability providers such as TraceLink, Optel, MediLedger, and VeChain. The company states that its hybrid model is designed to introduce a public audit layer without requiring clients to redesign their internal compliance workflows.

Token Plans and Ecosystem Participation

PharmaTrace has also outlined plans for a utility token intended for operational use within its network. The token is expected to be tied to reporting accuracy, platform access, and future governance functions.

In addition, the company plans to contribute development resources, documentation, and integration frameworks to the wider Hedera ecosystem, particularly in areas involving regulated supply chains.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
