Company Description
Pineapple Express Cannabis Company, doing business as PINYA XP (OTC PINK: PNXP), is a healthcare-sector company associated with the Drug Manufacturers – Specialty & Generic industry classification that focuses on cannabis authentication and verification technology. According to company disclosures, PINYA XP positions itself as a cannabis technology and safety platform built around its proprietary GROOVY PaaS 4IR Ecosystem, which is designed to provide unalterable verification of cannabis product authenticity.
The company states that its mission begins with saving lives by preventing counterfeit cannabis products from reaching the market and enabling consumers and healthcare professionals to access verified product profiles. PINYA XP describes its system as a blockchain-powered platform that creates an immutable record of each product’s journey from seed to sale. Using QR‑NFT tags, each scan is intended to reveal a history of cultivation, testing, and distribution, creating what the company calls an unbroken chain of trust across the cannabis supply chain.
Business focus and GROOVY platform
PINYA XP describes GROOVY as a centralized Hyperledger Fabric blockchain-based Platform as a Service (PaaS) tailored to the cannabis sector. Company materials explain that the platform is built to address product authenticity, safety, and transparency. Within this framework, PINYA XP highlights several core components:
- QR‑NFT authentication technology for cannabis products, using blockchain-verified tags to confirm authenticity and origin.
- Geno‑NFT Library, a secure blockchain-based repository where growers can register cannabis strains and, according to the company, receive automatic royalties when their genetics are used in authenticated products.
- GROOVY Rewards, which the company describes as a program that encourages consumers to verify products, complete educational modules, and participate in a community environment.
- GROOVY Marketplace, presented as an ecosystem where authenticated products, verified genetics, and engaged consumers interact.
- AI-powered analytics that process data generated by authentication and ecosystem activity to provide insights for businesses while supporting product safety and quality objectives.
In multiple company descriptions, PINYA XP emphasizes that its blockchain architecture is intended to create an immutable record of product movement and testing, and that its transparency focus is not limited to regulatory compliance but also to building a safer cannabis industry.
Technology, blockchain, and authentication
PINYA XP’s public communications describe the GROOVY platform as using centralized Hyperledger Fabric blockchain technology combined with NFT standards to support its authentication processes. In a share exchange announcement with GROOVY Company, Inc.

According to that description, the authentication system is designed to provide:
- Blockchain-verified NFT‑QR tags for product authentication.
- Detailed strain information, including genetics, cannabinoid profiles, and terpene content, as described by the company.
- Lab test verification and traceability from seed to sale.
