Connected projects
Connected
Two projects in which products got a product ID, and what that delivered for the maker, the chain partners and the owner.
Ciphers.me
Every stamp is unique
Ciphers.me is the platform on which postal organisations sell crypto stamps, and on which collectors register, collect and trade them. PROxID conceived and developed it; Ciphers.me is now owned by Royal Joh. Enschedé.
The question
Postal organisations wanted to offer their collectors a new type of stamp, provably unique and with a digital twin: the crypto stamp.
What we built
PROxID came up with the concept. Royal Joh. Enschedé developed the stamp and PROxID the Ciphers.me platform, where the new owners register, collect and trade their crypto stamps.
Where it stands
PROxID launched Ciphers.me in November 2023, together with Royal Joh. Enschedé and postal organisations. In January 2025 Royal Joh. Enschedé acquired the platform and now takes care of everything for the postal organisations: design, printing, encoding and sales through Ciphers.me.
What it delivers
Maker
Royal Joh. Enschedé makes the crypto stamp: a printed stamp with a digital twin. A new product for the postal organisations, from design and printing to encoding.
Chain partners
Postal organisations offer their collectors a new type of stamp. They sell most of it themselves, and also through Ciphers.me. Every stamp has one ID, from printing press to collector.
Owner
As a collector you prove for yourself that your stamp is authentic and yours, and you resell it with its full history attached.

Provenance Studio
Connected Notes, a note people keep
Under the Provenance Studio name, PROxID brings notes with an ID to market. Printed by Royal Joh. Enschedé using the same security techniques as banknotes, for commemorative notes and for brands issuing their own note.
The question
An ID links a commemorative note or a brand note to its new owner. You attach exclusive content, invitations and partner benefits to that registration, for as long as the owner holds the note.
What we built
Notes with the security of a banknote, a digital twin and an ID on the blockchain. We also built a platform where the owner registers and collects the note, and gets access to exclusive content, invitations and partner benefits.
Where it stands
Provenance Studio is a PROxID label. Royal Joh. Enschedé prints the custom notes; PROxID takes care of the ID, the verification and the Provenance Studio platform.
What it delivers
Maker
Banks issue Commemorative Notes. We add a certificate; together they form the ID we register on the blockchain. Companies and banks also issue their own note. We have it made by Royal Joh. Enschedé, and we register those notes on the blockchain.
Chain partners
Royal Joh. Enschedé and dealers work with the same ID per note: at every transfer, anyone can check that the note is authentic.
Owner
You verify for yourself that your note is authentic, get access to exclusive content, invitations and partner benefits, and later resell it with its full history attached.
In short
- Royal Joh. Enschedé
- prints the custom notes
- Banknote technology
- the same security as a banknote
- One ID per note
- recorded on the blockchain
