MIAMI, FL – 12/05/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – As law enforcement agencies face growing scrutiny around evidence integrity and documentation accuracy, Remergify has commercially launched EvidenceTrust, a blockchain-powered chain-of-custody platform designed to create tamper-resistant, court-admissible evidence records directly from the field using standard mobile devices.
The platform is intended to address longstanding operational challenges associated with evidence handling, documentation gaps, and custody verification — issues that prosecutors and law enforcement professionals frequently identify as contributing factors in criminal case dismissals. By combining blockchain verification, cryptographic authentication, and mobile evidence capture, EvidenceTrust aims to strengthen the reliability and traceability of both physical and digital evidence throughout the judicial process.
According to data referenced by the company from the Bureau of Justice Statistics, a significant percentage of felony cases in major U.S. urban jurisdictions are dismissed annually, with evidence handling deficiencies cited among the common procedural causes. Remergify stated that weaknesses in documenting evidence transfers and authenticity can create opportunities for legal challenges regarding admissibility and chain-of-custody integrity.
EvidenceTrust enables officers to generate immutable digital evidence records at the moment evidence is collected. When photographs or documentation are captured using the platform’s mobile application, metadata including GPS coordinates, timestamps, officer credentials, and SHA-256 cryptographic hashes are recorded simultaneously onto a private blockchain infrastructure. The resulting record is designed to provide a verifiable and tamper-resistant audit trail aligned with Federal Rules of Evidence Rule 901 authentication standards.
The system further records every subsequent custody transfer — from crime scene collection to evidence storage, laboratory analysis, and courtroom presentation — with associated metadata logged on-chain to create a complete chronological custody history.
Physical evidence bags generated through the platform are assigned QR code labels compliant with ASTM E1459-24 standards for evidence labeling. Authorized parties, including prosecutors, defense attorneys, and judicial personnel, can scan the QR codes to access a publicly verifiable chain-of-custody record without requiring platform login credentials.
Remergify stated that EvidenceTrust was developed to operate alongside existing law enforcement Records Management Systems (RMS), including platforms such as Axon Evidence and Motorola CommandCentral. Rather than replacing current systems, the platform functions as an additional blockchain-based immutability layer designed to strengthen evidentiary verification without requiring new hardware deployment or large-scale IT integration projects.
The company also noted that several U.S. states, including Vermont, Arizona, and Ohio, have enacted legislation recognizing blockchain-based records as admissible evidence under certain legal frameworks. In addition, federal courts in multiple jurisdictions have reportedly accepted blockchain-supported documentation under Federal Rules of Evidence authentication standards.
Stuart Fine, CEO of Remergify, stated that the platform was developed in response to procedural weaknesses that can undermine otherwise valid criminal cases. He emphasized that blockchain-backed cryptographic verification introduces a mathematically verifiable layer of authenticity to evidence documentation and transfer records.
EvidenceTrust is currently available to law enforcement agencies through a free 60-day pilot program that does not require formal procurement procedures, infrastructure replacement, or upfront hardware investments. Following the pilot phase, pricing begins at $499 per month for agencies with up to 50 officers. Separate licensing options are also available for district attorney offices, forensic laboratories, and court systems.
In addition to the platform launch, Remergify has released a white paper titled The Hidden Cost of Lost Cases: How Evidence Handling Failures Are Draining Municipal Budgets and Letting Guilty People Walk, examining the financial and operational impact of evidence-related case dismissals on municipal governments and justice systems.
