This article provides an overview of the Grading Integration Service (GIS), and briefly describes the steps required by a lab to validate diamond parameters and upload grading information on Tracr. It also provides an overview for Tracr-branded QR codes and provenance specific endpoints.
Tracr is an advanced technology platform developed by De Beers Group to underpin trust in diamond provenance. Tracr uses leading-edge technologies, including blockchain, artificial intelligence, the internet of things and advanced security and privacy technologies.
The Grading Integration Service (GIS) allows grading labs to upload grading data to a diamond record on Tracr.
Grading labs are able to pull the provenance for a diamond and add it to a grading report to include in a provenance programme.
Diamonds need to be unlocked by the participant prior to the grading lab retrieving provenance for a Tracr diamond.
The integration works through three key steps: Verification, Validation, Update.
Integrating with Tracr provides the following benefits to a lab:
The ability to update a diamond record on Tracr to include your lab's grading data and certificate.
The capability to create provenance programmes.
Grading labs that wish to integrate with Tracr must:
Be an RJC member.
Complete Tracr's KYC process.
Sign Tracr's T&C's.
