BreedProof

Mobile-native ZK-powered breed registry with TheGraph, Circom, and Mopro

Problem Statement

Breedproof is a decentralized animal identity system that turns an animal’s DNA into a unique, verifiable on-chain credential.Problem identified: Animal identity today is fragile, siloed, and easy to manipulate. Whether it's a purebred pet, a rescue animal, or livestock, verifying origin, breed, and authenticity is:Manual and expensive (vet-issued certificates, physical paperwork)Easy to forge (printed docs, hacked databases)Non-interoperable across countries, vets, or registries This results in:Widespread fraud in the pet and livestock marketPoor traceability of animal welfareLimited protection for breeders, NGOs, and regulatorsUsing Web3 infrastructure, Breedproof enables: 🧬 DNA-based verification 📚 Open-source registry of breeds & species 📈 Score calculation engine to match DNA to breed data 🪪 NFT credential issued per animal 🌐 Public lookup & marketplace integrationsMarket FitPet Industry $300B global market (Statista, 2024) 40% of pets in top economies are unregistered or falsely registered Breed authenticity is a key pricing and health factor Opportunity: Web3-backed registration for breeders, shelters, and pet ownersLivestock & AgTech $1T global livestock value Livestock verification is critical for disease control, genetic optimization, and supply chain certification Opportunity: Breedproof acts as a zero-trust validation layer for farms and producersRescues, NGOs & Welfare Organizations Current animal records are siloed and inconsistent Verification of sterilization, origin, and rescue claims is weak Opportunity: Public registry + proof-of-origin helps organizations prove impactWeb3 Collectibles / DNA-linked NFTs Pet-related NFTs are booming, but lack real-world connection DNA-backed NFTs enable a new class of collectibles, like proof-of-life art, avatar genetics, and DeSci integrations Opportunity: Breedproof credentials can become building blocks for DNA-based dApps

Solution

Breedproof verifies, scores, and registers animal identities based on DNA hashes, breed/origin registries, and immutable records — issuing tamper-proof NFT credentials. It’s designed to work across veterinary, agricultural, breeding, and animal welfare domains.Core Principles:Trustless verification: Users verify their animals with zero central authority.Open breed data: Public registry of species and breeds stored on-chain.Modular architecture: Smart contracts are independent, interoperable, and upgradable.Web2–Web3 bridge: JSON-based registries + MoPro mobile zk proofs + React frontend + The Graph + NFT logic.
