Introduction:
This proposal outlines the development of a modular Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, akin to a Lego set, where each module represents a distinct function within a larger, cohesive system. The cornerstone of this proposal is the integration of Soulbound and Non-Soulbound Tokens on the XinFin Digital Contract (XDC) network, revolutionizing supply chain management through blockchain technology.
Soulbound and Non-Soulbound Tokens:
Our system will leverage the unique capabilities of both Soulbound tokens (non-transferable and tied to specific assets or identities) and Non-Soulbound tokens (transferable). Soulbound tokens will be utilized for tracking capital expenditures, essential documents, and certifications, ensuring immutability and accountability. Non-Soulbound tokens, on the other hand, will be employed for monitoring assets like containers that frequently change ownership, offering flexibility and efficiency in asset management.
Executive Summary:
Women in Blockchain Canada (WIBC) proposes to develop a cutting-edge ERP interface that seamlessly integrates Soulbound and Non-Soulbound Tokens within the supply chain sector on the XDC network. This initiative aims to significantly enhance the supply chain's operational efficiency, transparency, and trust by strategically employing blockchain tokens.
Project Rationale:
The supply chain industry stands on the brink of a transformative era with blockchain technology. The dual application of Soulbound Tokens (SBTs) and Non-Soulbound Tokens addresses multiple facets of supply chain management, from immutable tracking of goods and credentials to dynamic asset tokenization and incentivization.
Project Objectives:
ERP Interface Development: Constructing a robust ERP interface on the XDC network, employing SBTs for identity verification, compliance, and provenance, alongside Non-Soulbound Tokens for asset tokenization and transaction facilitation.
Enhanced Adoption: Promoting the widespread adoption of tokenized processes in supply chains, thereby augmenting efficiency and transparency.
Educational Outreach: Educating supply chain stakeholders about the advantages and functionalities of SBTs and Non-Soulbound Tokens in their operations.
Project Deliverables:
Tokenized ERP System: A prototype ERP system that integrates SBTs and Non-Soulbound Tokens, tailored for various supply chain functions.
Educational Materials: Comprehensive resources, including guides and tutorials, to demonstrate the practical application of tokens in supply chains.

Our Work in Education Platforms:
WIBC has been working on education within blockchain since 2018 with Canadian business accelerators and layer 1 protocols (Solana, Polkadot etc.). We have began working with SydTek DAO and Kovach Technologies on a soulbound token learning platform on Stellar and completed our own mobile application for education for the Internet Computer Protocol.
