The proposed Police Force Management System (PFMS) would track evidence from collection and investigation through storage, prosecution and court proceedings. Trivolve Tech estimates an initial rollout across about 3,500 facilities, involving 113,000 personnel, 1.81 million devices and 3.2 million evidence items. The system is also projected to use around 5.1 million decentralized identifiers.
The plan builds on the company’s Forensic Management System, already used with police in Uttar Pradesh. According to a Cardano Foundation case study, the application replaces shared case numbers on evidence boxes with separate codes for authorized participants. Officers record evidence through an app, QR codes identify boxes, and laboratory staff use different identifiers. Each action is linked to Cardano through a cryptographic hash, which can help verify whether a record has changed. Sensitive files and personal information remain in government systems.
Trivolve Tech says the Uttar Pradesh application has recorded more than 156,000 Cardano mainnet transactions, averaging about 11,000 a month. The company is seeking 9.6 million ADA over 15 months to develop PFMS for Telangana. It proposes releasing the core infrastructure as open source under the Apache 2.0 license. After deployment, the government customer would cover transaction fees, infrastructure and maintenance.
The company expects optional verification services for authorized users, including defense lawyers and prosecutors, to generate revenue. Requests would start at $1.89, with higher prices for larger or more complex datasets. The proposed split allocates 70% of revenue to Cardano’s treasury, 20% to maintaining core Cardano libraries and 10% to Trivolve Tech. The funding request still requires community approval. Cardano treasury proposals have faced resistance: a 7.8 million ADA request for the Cardano Summit failed in June after receiving 65.2% support, short of the two-thirds threshold.
