I found technical details about the device: https://www.isenet.it/product/pharmaseq-products/ It's tiny (500 microns), passive, photocell-powered (you point a laser at it), and encapsulated in an inert SiO2 coating.

It's common for plant farmers in smaller countries too. I interviewed at a company that wanted to help banks lend to tiny farmers who have to borrow against future harvests to afford fertilizer / seed / equipment maintenance for the season ahead.

This is how debt peons are made, historically. Kinda sad to see the same patterns in the modern world.
The beauty of the current system is that because everyone has been told they are free, it is their own fault when they get trapped in a debt cycle.
