Verifiable participation for enterprise compliance

Enabling trusted proof of attendance on the Cardano blockchain

[object Object]
Petrobras conducts mandatory training programs that support safety, readiness, and regulatory compliance.
These programs require accurate proof of attendance to support audits, governance, and employment decisions across the organization.

Manual attendance systems introduce risk. Paper records and disconnected tools are difficult to verify, easy to dispute, and often capture only a single moment in time rather than sustained participation.


These limitations reduce confidence in attendance data and increase administrative effort during audits and compliance reviews. Public blockchain infrastructure provides a more reliable approach by enabling verifiable, consistent, and auditable attendance records across teams and stakeholders.

Solution

A blockchain-based system that delivers immutable, auditable proof of attendance for mandatory training programs

Using NFC cards, cryptographic signatures, and the Cardano blockchain, Petrobras records each attendance event as a verifiable data point. Multiple interactions, such as entry and exit, provide a clearer view of participation.


Employees, instructors, and administrators gain transparent access to trusted records without relying on centralized control, supporting compliance, reporting, and long-term auditability.

Results

Petrobras highlights how Cardano can modernize enterprise compliance and operational trust.

01.
Enhanced auditability
Attendance records are independently verifiable on a public blockchain, strengthening compliance and legal defensibility.
02.
Improved data integrity
Cryptographic signatures and immutable timestamps eliminate disputes over attendance authenticity.
03.
Increased transparency
Employees receive confirmation emails for each attendance event, with daily summaries delivered to instructors and Petrobras.
04.
Robust participation insights
The system captures multiple attendance events per session, delivering up to 400% more verifiable data than manual methods.
05.
Validated proof of concept
Demonstrated the feasibility of using Cardano as a low-cost, high-integrity ledger for enterprise operational processes.

“There is no trustworthy compliance without verifiable data. Cardano’s public blockchain enabled us to establish a new standard of transparency and accountability through Proof of Attendance (PoA).”
