IOTA Audit Trails

Record histories that every party can verify and trust

IOTA Audit Trails gives every party in your workflow a shared, tamper-evident history. No exported reports, no central administrator to trust.

Verifiable Histories for Shared Workflows

Turn every action into trusted evidence
Create shared audit trails that show what happened, when, and exactly who had the authority to add each entry.
Image

Ordered Records

Build a clear, sequential history that shows exactly what happened and in what order.

Shared Verification

One source of evidence that every party in your workflow can verify directly.

Governed Access

Define granular permissions and enforce them onchain.

Multi-Writer Trails

Multiple parties can write to a shared history, with every entry ordered and verifiable.

How it Works

Record, govern, and verify each step
Set up a trail, add records in sequence, and let any authorized party verify the full history for themselves.

Create a Trail

Set up metadata, tags, permissions, and lifecycle rules.

Add Records

Append records through authorized users, wallets, or services.

Verify History

Inspect record order, permissions, metadata, and trail state.

Permissions that match your workflow

Access Control Built Around your Workflow

Different participants have different responsibilities. Audit Trails is built to reflect that.

Roles

Set permissions for specific actions.

Capabilities

Delegate roles to users, wallets, or services.

Tags

Organize records and control who can add to them.

Locking Rules

Manage when records can be added, deleted, or locked.

For Industries Where Records are Business-Critical

Built for compliance, traceability, and lifecycle proof

Audit Trails supports workflows that need trusted histories across systems, vendors, or organizations.

Supply Chains

Track handovers, inspections, certifications, and maintenance events

Supply Chains

Legal & Compliance

Verify contracts, filings, approvals, and regulated records

Legal & Compliance

Customs & Trade

Coordinate declarations, inspections, and clearance steps

Customs & Trade

Product Passports

Anchor lifecycle evidence, provenance, and sustainability claims

Product Passports

IoT & Automation

Record machine events, sensor proofs, and maintenance actions

From Individual Proofs to Governed Histories

/shared/dynamic_notarization.png

Extend notarization from records to histories

IOTA Audit Trails builds on IOTA Notarization by adding ordered records, role-based permissions, tags, and lifecycle controls.

Individual Proofs

Verify a single record, file hash, certificate, status, or data object

Ordered Histories

Capture related records in sequence with clear, verifiable origins

Governed Workflows

Control who can add, manage, or lock records

Integrity Without Exposure

Verify records without exposing sensitive data
Keep sensitive source data offchain and anchor only hashes, references, or non-sensitive metadata on IOTA.
Image

Offchain Source Data

Store confidential files, reports, and documents in private systems

Onchain Proofs

Record hashes, references, and metadata onchain as proof

Public Verification

Any participant can verify order and authenticity without revealing private content

Tech & Tooling

Everything builders need to integrate audit trails

Audit Trails is available as part of the IOTA Notarization Toolkit and supports multiple integration paths for developers, partners, and solution providers.

Move Package

Define audit trails, records, permissions, tags, metadata, and lifecycle controls with onchain contracts

Rust SDK

Create trails, add records, manage roles, and inspect state with typed clients and transaction builders

WebAssembly Bindings

Integrate audit trail flows into JavaScript and TypeScript applications through typed wrappers

Examples and Docs

Use setup guides and examples for customs clearance, clinical research, and Digital Product Passports

IOTA Technology Stack in Action

Verifiable records as part of a broader trust layer

Audit Trails is part of IOTA Notarization and the wider IOTA Trust Framework, helping organizations verify data, actors, permissions, and evidence across boundaries.
