There are three main reasons for the sudden increase in price and volume of TRAC: the ongoing rollout of OriginTrail v6, the launch of AidTrust, and the transition to Web3.

Users interested in participating in the community now have the ability to set up a v6 node for the TRAC service while helping to maintain the overall functionality of the OriginTrail network.
Launch AidTrust
Another element that is drawing attention to OriginTrail is the launch of AidTrust, a joint product launched with BSI UK to bring clarity and confidence to pharmaceutical supply chains.
AidTrust combines the characteristics of DKG and BSI’s extensive expertise in the knowledge chain to ensure that donated medicines are delivered to targeted patients on time.
With AidTrust, NGOs and pharmaceutical manufacturers can track the movement of donated products through the supply chain, identify potential risks, and make real-time decisions based on secure data.
