4 Evaluation
In this section, we present an architectural design of our proposed implementation that seeks to provide answers to the following research questions:
What are the available provenance use cases supported by blockchain out there?
Can blockchain technology support provenance for handcrafted jewelry?
What are the requirements of implementing a provenance solution on a blockchain network?
Is a blockchain provenance solution better as compared to existing solutions?
4.1 Requirements gathering
There is plan to perform a requirements collection exercise from the field. However, at this point of the research, this paper will be relying on the requirements identified from similar case studies.

The local processors should use IoT devices to capture data
The local processor should tag the packaged products with a QR code
The local processor should tag the packaged products with a RFID chip
The local processor should tag the packaged products with a unique code
The shipping companies should use IoT devices to track their transit lines
Data captures should be uploaded to a public blockchain network
