Introducing Lithium Loop
Lithium Loop is a next-generation blockchain platform that delivers mine-to-market transparency, ESG compliance and community impact for Zimbabwe’s lithium value chain.
With 2025 H1 Zimbabwe's lithium exports surpassing 500, 000 metric tones, the lithium sector faces mounting pressure from strict EU regulations, global ESG standards and OEM compliance demands. Simultaneously, manual documentation and illicit leakages create operational bottlenecks that drain national revenue. Furthermore, opacity leaves local communities with minimal financial benefits.
Enterprise-grade platform powered by Hyperledger Fabric for national-scale mining operations
We built Lithium Loop on Hyperledger Fabric, a permissioned blockchain framework designed for secure, high-performance and industry-level applications.
Hyperledger Fabric allows Lithium Loop to deliver verifiable traceability while maintaining the privacy, governance and control required in Zimbabwe’s lithium value chain.
Key Features
Our platform delivers comprehensive, 360° monitoring of lithium mining operations while driving positive social impact in local communities with the following features:
01. Real-time tracking of lithium shipments from mines to buyers.
02. Immutable verification and recording on blockchain.
03. Transparent ESG and compliance reporting
04. Ensure ethical sourcing through supply chain visibility.
05. Simple dashboard for data analytics.
Social Impact
Lithium Loop promotes responsible lithium sourcing by ensuring ethical mining practices and strengthening community well-being. It also enables mining companies to fund local projects in education, healthcare, and infrastructure.
Our platform helps prevent lithium smuggling, supports fair labour practices, and reduces environmental impact across the entire value chain.
UNDP Lithium Value Chain Award
Mator Design’s Lithium Loop project won the Lithium Value Chain Award at the UNDP Zimbabwe AI & Innovation Week 2025, earning a US$4,000 equity-free prize. We’ll use this support to scale up the platform, improve its capabilities and building tools that make the Zimbabwean lithium value chain transparent, ethical and community-focused.
