Fake Product Detection Using Block-Chain

The counterfeiting of products is a growing issue in the retail industry, leading to financial losses and consumer trust concerns. Various authentication methods, such as RFID and AI-based solutions, have been explored but have limitations, including high computational requirements and vulnerability to duplication. To address this, blockchain technology is introduced for secure product verification. Our system stores supply chain data at each stage using QR codes, ensuring authenticity. Blockchain’s decentralized nature guarantees data security, preventing tampering or third-party interference. Customers can scan QR codes to view product history, verifying legitimacy before purchase. This approach benefits manufacturers by tracking distribution channels, reducing unauthorized diversions. By eliminating intermediaries, costs decrease while transparency and accountability improve. Though integration challenges exist, blockchain holds immense potential to minimize counterfeit products,
