ECO Portal Modernization
A standardized, scalable, and decentralized digital ecosystem for Program Operators and stakeholders.
Digital Strategy
The ECO Portal is evolving to accommodate the growing volume of EPDs and Program Operators (POs). Our strategy shifts from requiring a single software stack to an API first and decentralized solution, giving ECO Platform and POs flexibility and ownership of their own software infrastructure.
Ownership
Choice of software shifts to POs, ensuring ownership, long-term flexibility and stability.
Standardization
An "API-Spec-First" approach with clear JSON schemas to remove ambiguity for developers.
Scalability
A robust API Gateway architecture designed to handle increased traffic and EPD volumes.
Implementation Roadmap
1
API Specification
Defining the "PO-to-Portal" and "Portal-to-User" contracts. Creating a consistent technical framework for existing and new PO nodes to follow, reducing integration barriers.

ECO Platform Node (Future)
An ECO Cloud SaaS offering for POs to host and publish data, providing reliable, independently governed data services.
Interactive API Drafts
Explore the technical specifications and JSON schemas that define our future data ecosystem. These drafts serve as a technical blueprint for implementation.
Program Operator API
The mandatory API for PO Nodes to implement.
This is the "PO-to-Portal" contract. It defines how the ECO Portal connects
and retrieves EPDs from the PO's system.
ECO Portal API
The ECO Portal's user facing API.
This is the "Portal-to-User" contract. It specifies the endpoints for search,
validation, and authentication.
