Cardano Foundation Explain How Indian Police Dey Track Criminal Evidence for Cardano

Cardano Foundation publish one case study on October 26 wey explain how police for India Uttar Pradesh state dey use Cardano to track forensic evidence during criminal investigations.

TrivolveTech develop the Forensic Management System (FMS) together with Quixy, and e dey record cryptographic fingerprints of evidence scans and laboratory results for Cardano mainnet.

The system don dey run since 2025. The Foundation latest publication give closer look on how the technology dey support evidence handling inside active police cases.

How Uttar Pradesh Police Dey Track Forensic Evidence

Criminal evidence dey pass between police stations, storage facilities, and forensic laboratories many times. To keep correct record of who handle each item, when dem access am, and where dem transfer am, na key to protect chain of custody.

According to Cardano Foundation, the usual way of handling evidence for Uttar Pradesh been dey rely on case numbers wey everybody wey process the same evidence fit see.

TrivolveTech system bring different approach.

FMS dey assign separate identifiers to each handler, so police officers and laboratory personnel fit work on the same evidence without exposing connection between records when e no necessary.

Each participant go access only the information wey concern their responsibility, while the system still dey keep record of how dem handle the evidence.

Anytime dem scan evidence container or record laboratory analysis, the activity go join the digital audit trail.

The goal na to make any unauthorized change easy to detect, and to set clearer accountability across departments wey dey inside criminal investigations.

How Cardano Dey Secure Evidence Records Without Exposing Sensitive Data

Police officers dey interact with FMS through normal application, while Cardano dey run for background.

Instead of storing confidential evidence direct for public blockchain, the system dey generate cryptographic hashes wey represent the recorded information.

Dem dey commit these fingerprints to Cardano mainnet, to create references wey people fit check against the original records.

If person modify record later, the new calculated hash no go match the fingerprint wey dem record on-chain before.

The process dey provide proof say record never change after registration. E no dey by itself prove whether the original evidence correct or dem collect am well.

FMS still include decentralized identifiers (DIDs) to link authorized personnel to the activities wey dem record.

According to the Foundation case study, Uttar Pradesh police choose to record each data entry with separate blockchain transactions, instead of to bundle dem into cheaper batches.

That decision dey increase transaction costs but e give each record im own blockchain transaction reference.

Existing Police Deployment Dey Support Proposed 9.6 Million ADA Expansion

The Foundation publication follow another funding proposal wey TrivolveTech submit to Cardano Treasury.

The company dey request 9.6 million ADA to develop broader Police Force Management System (PFMS), to extend blockchain-backed records pass forensic investigations into evidence storage, prosecution, and courtroom proceedings.

Dem propose say first deployment go happen for Telangana, another Indian state.

TrivolveTech talk say the existing FMS don generate more than 156,000 Cardano mainnet transactions, with about 11,000 additional transactions per month. These numbers na company-reported activity metrics, no be independent measurement of investigative outcomes.

Under the PFMS proposal, Cardano Foundation go manage Treasury funding, while TrivolveTech go develop the broader system.

The proposal still need approval through Cardano governance process.

The difference important: FMS don already dey used for Uttar Pradesh, according to the Foundation, but the proposed expansion enter Telangana still depend on funding approval and implementation.

The existing deployment dey provide working component for TrivolveTech proposal, but the broader PFMS system never get funding and e never deploy.
