In late October, Australian digital marketplace Two Hands completed its first blockchain traceable shipment of Southern Rock Lobster. The consignment left Melbourne on a Thursday and arrived in Shanghai the next day.
The shipment was tracked using GoTrace software. Two Hands initially had plans to expand its distributed ledger track and trace solution on Hyperledger Fabric.

GoChain is a variant of Ethereum.
The solution involves attaching a SmartTag to each lobster, which can then be scanned to track it on GoChain’s GoTrace software.
