Against the backdrop of profound restructuring in global energy systems and food supply chains, agriculture is rapidly evolving from a traditional industry into a new era of digitalization, intelligence, and financialization. The rise of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization driven by blockchain is opening unprecedented development opportunities for this massive traditional sector. Resources such as land, production capacity, agricultural products, and carbon sinks—once difficult to authenticate or trade—are now becoming liquid, financeable, and allocatable assets through digitalization and tokenization. Shennong Chain (SNC) emerges at this historical turning point. Positioned as an RWA infrastructure dedicated to global agriculture, its goal is to build a globally accessible, trustworthy, and freely flowing on-chain agricultural network, enabling dormant agricultural assets to be fully “discovered, authenticated, and traded.”

In the traditional agricultural system, fragmented information, difficulties in asset certification, and limited financing channels have long been core bottlenecks that restrict industry efficiency. Agricultural resources are scattered, and their value is difficult to quantify, making them hard for financial institutions to accurately evaluate—leading to high financing costs and low efficiency. SNC aims to leverage the immutability and transparency of blockchain to digitally record the “original state” of agricultural assets, bringing credible data such as production processes, yield expectations, and carbon reduction contributions on-chain to form verifiable, traceable, quantifiable asset certificates. This not only makes agricultural assets truly “readable and trustworthy,” but also breaks regional boundaries, allowing them to directly connect with global capital markets. There are already domestic practices confirming the value of this approach.What SNC pursues is the ability to scale and globalize this model, constructing a cross-border value network for agriculture and becoming a fundamental infrastructure for international agricultural trade and green finance.

To achieve this vision, SNC adopts a future-oriented modular architecture built around a main chain and multiple sub-chains. The main chain serves as the center of global security, value settlement, and cross-chain communication, while various sub-chains are independently designed and deployed based on region, business type, or function. For instance, sub-chains focused on agricultural production may specialize in high-frequency data uploads; sub-chains for rural finance may optimize contract execution and settlement speed; sub-chains for carbon sinks may emphasize credible ecological data recording. Sub-chains process complex business logic and then anchor results to the main chain, achieving a balance between performance, security, and flexibility. Through modular separation of core components—such as the consensus layer, execution layer, and data availability layer—the entire architecture can be assembled like “blockchain Lego,” allowing the network to scale and optimize based on application needs. Lightweight nodes further lower participation thresholds, enabling more global contributors to join consensus and network maintenance, helping SNC build a truly open and decentralized agricultural infrastructure.

In terms of consensus, SNC uses a hybrid PBFT + DPoS model, combining high throughput, strong determinism, and robust fault tolerance. DPoS elects representative nodes through community voting, significantly improving block production speed and reducing resource consumption; PBFT ensures rapid and deterministic ledger consistency, maintaining system stability even with malicious nodes present. Together, they enable SNC to achieve near-instant confirmation, making it well-suited for the massive production data, traceability records, and asset transactions in agriculture. Traditional PoW chains—with high latency and high energy consumption—are no longer capable of meeting the needs of agricultural digitalization. The hybrid model, through high performance and strong consistency, provides the foundation required for the financialization and tokenization of agricultural assets.

Based on this underlying architecture, one of SNC’s core values is enabling on-chain authentication and tokenization of agricultural assets. The system can utilize IoT devices, satellite remote sensing, drone imaging, and other multi-source trusted data to record land boundaries, crop growth, fertilization, irrigation, and more—establishing digital identities for agricultural assets. Furthermore, through smart contracts, land usage rights, future agricultural yield rights, and carbon sink indicators can be fragmented and tokenized, turning them into tradable and collateralizable asset certificates. Projects such as“Digital Rice Fields” have demonstrated the real-world value of agricultural RWA—where 500 acres of rice fields were NFT-ized, attracting over 20 million yuan in urban capital, with participants receiving not only rice but also digital carbon credit income. This shows that both the economic and ecological value of agricultural production can be more efficiently recognized and transformed on-chain, providing capital momentum for rural revitalization and agricultural modernization.

At the application layer, SNC further expands the possibilities of AI–blockchain integration. AI’s predictive, recognition, and risk control capabilities amplify the value of on-chain data—for example, assessing crop health via satellite imagery, predicting yields through deep learning models, or developing land credit scoring systems from historical data. With trustworthy, tamper-proof data, AI can offer financial institutions more accurate risk assessments, thereby lowering loan thresholds and increasing financing coverage. Additionally, SNC is exploring a “useful computing mining” model, in which miners contribute computing power to real tasks such as AI model training and agricultural data analysis. This transforms mining from energy consumption into value creation, improving computing power utilization while providing a more distributed and cost-efficient computational foundation for agricultural intelligence.

As a global agricultural infrastructure, SNC places significant emphasis on cross-chain interoperability. The system supports IBC (Inter-Blockchain Communication), enabling secure data transmission, asset mapping, and state synchronization across different blockchains. This means SNC is not an isolated chain but an integrated part of the global blockchain ecosystem, supporting value exchange with Cosmos, Ethereum, and others. Through the EVM-compatible layer, agricultural assets on SNC can be traded within Ethereum, while Ethereum assets can enter SNC via cross-chain gateways. Such interoperability greatly enhances the liquidity of agricultural RWAs and connects them to global markets.

Overall, Shennong Chain (SNC) leverages blockchain, AI, and cross-chain technologies to reconstruct the authentication, valuation, and circulation systems of agricultural assets. It not only provides the technological foundation for agricultural digitalization but also brings structural transformation to agricultural finance—allowing agricultural resources to gain new attributes of quantifiability, financeability, and allocability; enabling ecological value to become an asset; and ensuring that global capital flows into agriculture more transparently and efficiently. As the agricultural digital economy accelerates, SNC is poised to become a key infrastructure of the global agricultural value internet, building a sustainable future for agricultural production, rural finance, ecological development, and global trade.
