Hey Vegas Tech Alley community 👋

I'm excited to share what I've been building: DPP Kit (dppkit.io) - a SaaS platform that makes it simple for businesses to issue UNTP-compliant supply chain credentials.

What's UNTP? The UN Transparency Protocol - think of it like HTTP for product data. It's a global standard for exchanging verifiable supply chain information (origin, materials, certifications, sustainability metrics). The EU is making this mandatory starting 2027 with Digital Product Passports, and Nevada's battery ecosystem is right in the crosshairs.

Why Nevada? Nevada is home to companies like Redwood Materials, American Battery Tech, and Panasonic - all part of the battery supply chain that will need Digital Battery Passports by February 2027. That's a hard deadline, and the technical complexity of issuing standards-compliant credentials is significant.

What DPP Kit Does: We handle the infrastructure (credential issuance, cryptographic signing, UNTP conformance validation) so businesses can focus on their…

I hate posting to social media. So I'm building AI agents to do it for me.

The plan: Write a blog post once, and automated agents generate optimized content for LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram - with human-in-the-loop editing before it posts. Write once, distribute everywhere.

But first, I needed the foundation. So I spent 60 hours building Xylo Sites - a complete blogging platform to serve as the content hub.

What's included:

• Custom domain support

• Multi-site management per organization

Fantastic event last Saturday! You can't beat the new Third Street location! For the first time, I was able to attend a session instead of running around. It was a lot of fun!

Overall, close to 200 people were at the event, many of whom attended for the first time.

I look forward to hearing what you think! Feel free to reach out! joshualeavitt@techalley.org.

Great event last Saturday! Was interesting to hear of the work being done on lithium supply chains in Nevada.

I'm actually developing a United Nations Transparency Protocol compliant Pilot Accelerator and am working with Lithium miners all over the world.

Here's a dynamically generated supply chain graph that is possible using UNTP compliant JSON-LD that traces High-Nickel CAM material back to it's source Cobalt and Lithium.

Happy to talk more if anyone is interested in this kind of work.

Currently running a pilot with Responsible Business Alliance that includes over 100 participants from mines to Fortune 500 OEMs and would love to keep doing more!
