DPPs Built on Verifiable Trust Across the Product Lifecycle

Updated by Onye Dike on December 23rd, 2025
VERA is Spherity’s Digital Product Passport (DPP) software for manufacturers, importers, distributors, recyclers and fleet operators preparing for EU product-passport requirements, starting with batteries. It focuses on making product data usable across a lifecycle and across companies, while letting the passport owner control what is public versus permissioned. Using decentralized identity and verifiable credentials, VERA is designed to make disclosures tamper-evident and easier to verify than ad-hoc documents. It supports onboarding and interoperability with data-space ecosystems. Spherity positions it for batteries, textiles, tyres, metals and furniture, where information can be updated as products are serviced or recycled.

Core Features

Spherity frames VERA as a standards-led way to publish and exchange trustworthy product information across value chains, using digital identity concepts to support verification and controlled sharing. Its main features include:

  • Template-led DPP creation with pre-loaded regulatory templates and rapid publishing workflows.

  • Static and dynamic lifecycle data for passports to be updated with items like safety sheets, recycling info, or status changes over time.

  • Verifiable credentials foundation using W3C DIDs and Verifiable Credentials (and digital signatures) for data integrity and auditability.

  • Configurable access controls to separate public data from permissioned endpoints and selectively share data with specific parties.

  • Ecosystem and wallet readiness including stated alignment with Catena-X/Manufacturing-X and integration with the EU Business Wallet (eIDAS 2.0).

  • API-first integrations and audits for connecting to enterprise systems (ERP/PLM/CRM/BMS) and linking audit/due-diligence reports via RCS Global.

Closing Insights

Spherity was founded with a focus on decentralized identity and verifiable data exchange, which underpins VERA’s architecture: product passports rely on verifiable credentials and W3C Decentralized Identifiers to ensure data integrity and auditability across complex value chains. The VERA platform is positioned to help companies meet EU regulatory deadlines, starting with the EU Battery Regulation’s compulsory DPPs from February 2027 and extending to other product categories under the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR). Spherity reports implementing battery passports with BVG Berlin’s bus fleet.

Spherity has received industry recognition, including being named a progressive company for Digital Product Passport solutions by 360Quadrants, reflecting its presence in the emerging DPP market. While subscription pricing and specific packages are not published, VERA is offered with professional services ranging from onboarding support to integration and backend registry registration assistance once the EU central DPP registry is available. Prospective users might consider VERA for its combination of compliance readiness, decentralized identity foundation, ecosystem interoperability and support services, especially if regulatory alignment with EU mandates and traceable, machine-verifiable product data are priorities.
