Solutions
Fully customisable applications for individual stakeholders, and ecosystems designed for entire value chains. Here is what is live today.
Flagship ecosystems
Commissioned by the people who know their industry, and built to scale across it. The experts own the solution and set its course; Datastake is the underlying fabric, the infrastructure partner and solution architect at their side.
Two ways it works. Straatos and WAZI are privately owned and inherit Datastake infrastructure: their owners' sector, their owners' solution. KOTA and Nashiriki are developed collaboratively and managed by Datastake, so their partners never have to think about the plumbing.
The digital ecosystem for gold
The digital backbone for ethical gold
Privately owned · Inherits Datastake infrastructure
Due diligence and supply intelligence across the gold value chain, originally developed by ASM gold investors and supply-chain experts, and opening to aggregators, refiners, and operators: evaluate sourcing, document due diligence, monitor risk, and report against shipments.

The digital ecosystem for climate
The operating system for high-integrity carbon projects
Privately owned · Inherits Datastake infrastructure
Built and owned by Straatos, and developed by climate experts: digital infrastructure for the climate and biodiversity value chain. Continuous environmental and spatial monitoring replaces costly periodic site visits, and public project pages carry each project from the ground to the world. Piloting with Gold Standard and WeForest.

The digital ecosystem for banking
Legitimising access to banking for the artisanal mining sector
Developed collaboratively · Managed by Datastake
Datastake's entry into the financial sector: counterparty onboarding and KYC for banks serving artisanal mining in DR Congo, where standard checks fail because there are no documents to verify. Founded with Trust Merchant Bank and managed day to day by Datastake, now extending to other banks and, in time, other compliance-bound sectors.

The digital ecosystem for development cooperation
Local response to global challenges
Developed collaboratively · Managed by Datastake
A public ecosystem for the humanitarian and economic development cooperation sector, co-created with Justice Plus and HIVE and managed by Datastake. Local NGOs, monitors, and consultants record incidents, grievances, and field observations in a structured way, and donor-funded modules become available to everyone.
And by design, this ecosystem has two faces. Nashiriki is the open, public one; Tazama runs the same infrastructure fully sovereign, in one organisation's hands. The cohabitation is the point.

Purpose-built systems
Not everything needs a whole value chain. Some work asks for one scheme, one organisation, one job done well. These five are the ones with public faces; the pattern repeats wherever a mandate needs its own tool.
Engage in support of ASM. Verifiably.
Digital infrastructure for the Responsible Minerals Credits scheme, where downstream sourcing commitments pay for worker-governed projects at artisanal mine sites. The certificate registry connects production to impact, auditably. Built with a six-party consortium including The Impact Facility, Fairphone, and the Alliance for Responsible Mining, funded by EPRM.

Onboard artisanal producers, assess them against responsible-sourcing criteria, track improvement, and manage premium allocation.
Visit siteFrom documentation to investment
Built for The Impact Facility to take artisanal operators from records, through ESG evaluation, to actual equipment financing and repayment tracking.
Visit siteDigital public infrastructure for ASM
A free, public utility for artisanal and small-scale mining: self-assessment against international standards, due diligence, and a portable operator profile. Open to every operator, owned by no one.
The voice of local communities
The same infrastructure as Nashiriki, owned outright and governed by IFEDD, a women-led organisation in North Kivu, focused on conflict and gender-based violence reporting. Funded by UN Women.
Visit siteSystems like these are assembled from proven building blocks, not built from scratch. There is no fixed catalogue: the framework lends itself to hyper-customised tools and interfaces, one per mandate.
Start yoursHow the fabric works
Datastake apps compile knowledge from daily work and ingest existing files, tools and databases around the same objective. Hubs sit alongside that app layer, reconciling public artefacts into traceable context without taking custody of client data.
Forms, observations, photos and field notes become structured records.
Spreadsheets, archives, partner tools and databases reconnect to the same model.
Provenance, custody and granular sharing rules stay visible as the system grows.
Hubs make sense of public artefacts, source by source.
Collected once, shared securely under owner terms and useful toward the next objective.
Ecosystem data hubs
Reference data on a sector rarely sits in one place. It is spread across registries, reports, watchdogs and disclosures that never speak to each other. Data hubs reconcile those existing digital artefacts into source-rated references that Datastake apps can draw on. Where Datastake apps digitise new knowledge and make it discoverable, hubs make sense of what is already public, helping ecosystems collaborate and disseminate digital tools.
The hubs themselves are built and kept current by DAAC. They ingest scattered public sources, cross-check them against each other, and keep every claim traceable back to where it came from.
Extractives transparency · DR Congo
A source-rated reference on Congolese extractives transparency: the EITI validation, contract and beneficial-ownership disclosures, revenue flows, and the developments that move them. Built alongside Nashiriki to support civil-society organisations, complementing the work of EITI.
With Nashiriki · complements EITI
Visit siteArtisanal & small-scale mining · global
A modern rebuild and expansion of the open reference on artisanal and small-scale mining: standards, country profiles, and the data behind the sector, in one explorable place. Part of the wider support to ASM, alongside the Hatua public infrastructure.
Alongside Hatua public infrastructure
Cobalt supply · DR Congo
The reference on responsible Congolese cobalt: the export and pricing regime, the initiatives working on the ground, the stakeholders, and a running feed of developments. One window onto a supply story that is otherwise scattered across dozens of actors.
Responsible cobalt reference
Climate finance & projects · global
On Straatos: climate projects and solutions, an interactive view of the value chain, a glossary, and a source-rated signal feed, consolidating a fragmented landscape into one navigable reference.

Made to measure
A workflow that should be digital, in a sector that has never been served: that is where it starts. Datastake designs systems that fit how you actually report and operate, connect to other sources, and reach new data clients.
