PRESSRELEASE: Lingon and ChromaWay Partner to Deliver Blockchain-Based Digital Product Certificates
Stockholm, Sweden
Lingon Certificates AB today announces a strategic partnership with ChromaWay, combining Lingon’s digital product certificate platform with ChromaWay’s relational blockchain technology.
The collaboration addresses a growing global challenge: counterfeit goods, which are estimated to reach a market value of $4.5 trillion annually. By leveraging blockchain technology, Lingon and ChromaWay aim to provide a secure and scalable solution for product authentication, ownership verification and lifecycle traceability.
Addressing the Global Counterfeit Challenge
Counterfeit goods continue to undermine industries where authenticity, craftsmanship and brand trust are critical.
This is particularly relevant for:
furniture and design products
luxury and limited-edition items
high-value consumer goods
Lingon’s digital product certificates are designed to counteract this challenge by providing tamper-proof digital identities for individual products.
A Blockchain-Based Approach to Product Authentication
Through this partnership, Lingon and ChromaWay will develop a solution where each product is assigned a unique digital identity on the blockchain.
This enables:
secure and verifiable product authenticity
proof of ownership
full lifecycle traceability
protection against data tampering
By combining blockchain with structured product data, the solution ensures that each product can be tracked from raw material to end-of-life.
Leveraging Relational Blockchain Technology
ChromaWay’s relational blockchain technology provides the foundation for this solution.
Unlike traditional blockchain systems, relational blockchain enables:
scalable data management
flexible data structures
secure and transparent records
This makes it well suited for applications such as digital product certificates and Digital Product Passports, where large volumes of product data must be managed efficiently.
Executive Perspectives
Ebba Theding, CFO at ChromaWay, commented:
"In the Lingon team we saw extremely motivated and experienced entrepreneurs with a strong product and market focus. With our shared vision of how certificates of authenticity can revolutionize market trust through blockchain, we look forward to building a powerful application together."
Ulf Enhörning, CEO at Lingon Certificates, added:
"At the heart of Lingon lies the ambition to safeguard authenticity and improve trust in trade interactions. With ChromaWay, we have found a partner who combines deep blockchain expertise with a shared vision for the future of digital product authentication."
From Digital Certificates to Future Product Systems
The partnership not only enables secure digital certificates, but also lays the foundation for broader applications.
These include:
Digital Product Passports (DPPs)
supply chain transparency
circular economy models
digital ownership systems
Lingon’s platform, including its wallet applications and future marketplace capabilities, is designed to support both manufacturers and consumers in managing and verifying digital product certificates.
A Scalable Platform for Manufacturers and Consumers
The combined solution connects:
manufacturers issuing certificates
products with unique digital identities
consumers verifying authenticity and ownership
This creates a seamless and secure ecosystem where trust is built directly into the product.
Looking Ahead
Lingon and ChromaWay are continuing to develop the platform in collaboration with industry partners, including furniture manufacturers, to ensure compatibility with real-world production processes and product marking technologies.
The partnership reflects a shared ambition to advance secure, transparent and scalable digital product systems — supporting both current market needs and future regulatory requirements.
