Welcome to Optropic
Optropic is Physical Trust Infrastructure — a cryptographic platform that makes any physical object verifiable as authentic.
What is Optropic?
Optropic creates a cryptographic binding between physical objects and their digital identities. When you generate an Optropic code, you're creating an unforgeable link between:
- Physical Features — The unique, unclonable characteristics of an object
- Digital Signatures — Ed25519 cryptographic signatures that prove authenticity
- GS1 Digital Links — Industry-standard identifiers that encode product data
Core Capabilities
Generate Authenticated Codes
Create GS1 Digital Link URLs with embedded cryptographic signatures. These can be encoded into QR codes, NFC tags, or any scannable medium.

Verify Authenticity
Verify any Optropic code instantly. The verification is mathematically provable and can even work offline thanks to Ed25519 public key cryptography.
