What iov42 does

iov42 is a London-headquartered (legally incorporated in England and Wales as iov42 Limited) identity and trust platform company founded in Austria in 2016. The company has built a proprietary distributed ledger technology (DLT) featuring a novel, energy-efficient consensus mechanism, which has been adopted into the European Commission's European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI) initiative. The platform underpins iov42's commercial offering and is designed to enable trusted, transparent, and secure data sharing across complex multi-party environments.

The company's flagship commercial product is Interu, a supply chain traceability application launched in 2024 that allows enterprises to collect, store, manage, and share due diligence information to verify and track materials back to source. Interu is positioned primarily for organizations needing to comply with the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) and adjacent sustainability mandates, serving enterprise buyers in commodity trading, manufacturing, and consumer goods. iov42 monetizes the product through recurring SaaS subscriptions augmented by professional services (onboarding, supplier activation, and training) delivered by a Customer Success team. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with quote-based pricing; the company maintains offices in London and Vienna and operates a team spanning 12 nationalities across Europe.

iov42 remains a privately held, founder/management-led company (CEO and Chairman Dominic von Trotha Taylor, Co-Founder Robert Zapfel, CTO Mark Rainey, CPO David Coleman) with no disclosed institutional funding rounds, no public revenue figures, and only one named reference customer (Carl Ronnow) in the source data. Its strategic positioning sits at the intersection of two tailwinds — regulatory digitization of supply chains and EU-backed blockchain infrastructure — but the company has not yet disclosed scale metrics such as ARR, customer count, or headcount growth.

Others

• European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI): EBSI is the European Commission's blockchain infrastructure initiative under which iov42's DLT is supported. Relevant as both an enabler (sovereign endorsement and integration) and a potential alternative framework that customers may consider alongside iov42's proprietary ledger.
• Hyperledger Fabric / Linux Foundation Decentralized Trust: Hyperledger Fabric is an open-source enterprise blockchain framework used by many supply-chain traceability solutions, including some of iov42's competitors. Relevant to iov42 as the alternative technology stack potential customers may evaluate when selecting a DLT platform for traceability.

Direct peers

• Minespider: Minespider provides blockchain-based traceability and provenance for critical minerals and raw materials, helping companies meet EU and global supply-chain due-diligence rules. Comparable to iov42 in its use of DLT for raw-material traceability and overlap on EU regulatory compliance use cases such as conflict minerals and batteries.
• Circulor: Circulor is a UK-based supply chain traceability platform using DLT to track raw materials, with deep focus on EV battery, aerospace, and other complex industrial supply chains. Directly comparable to iov42 in technology stack (DLT-based), customer base (enterprise commodity/industrial buyers), and EU regulatory compliance positioning.
• Sourcemap: Sourcemap provides supply-chain mapping and due-diligence software for traceability, supplier risk, and ESG compliance, with a strong focus on regulatory readiness. Comparable to iov42 on enterprise supply-chain traceability and EUDR-style compliance workflows, though more SaaS-conventional rather than DLT-native.
• OpenSC: OpenSC is a blockchain-based platform that traces food and products back to source to verify sustainability and ethical claims. Closely comparable to iov42's Interu product on supply-chain transparency for forest-risk commodities and ESG claims verification.
• Provenance: Provenance is a supply-chain transparency platform using blockchain to verify sustainability claims for consumer goods and food products. Comparable to iov42's Interu on the use of DLT to verify source-of-origin and sustainability credentials for regulated consumer supply chains.

Broad incumbents

• SAP (Responsible Design and Production / Sustainability solutions): SAP offers supply-chain traceability and sustainability compliance functionality embedded within its broader ERP and business technology platform. Comparable to iov42 as a competing enterprise option for EUDR compliance, but as part of an end-to-end suite rather than a specialised DLT-native solution.
• IBM Food Trust: IBM Food Trust is a blockchain-based food supply-chain traceability network built on Hyperledger, targeting large food producers and retailers. Comparable to iov42's Interu in addressing supply-chain provenance for forest-risk-adjacent commodities, but operates as part of IBM's much broader enterprise portfolio.

Emerging players

• Tilkal: Tilkal offers a B2B blockchain-based traceability platform for supply chains, with use cases in luxury goods, food, and industrial materials. Comparable to iov42 on DLT-based traceability but with narrower vertical focus and less direct alignment to EUDR.
