A fraudulent practice where products that are passed off as genuine, product counterfeiting represents consumer fraud, which translates to financial losses. Transparency in supply chain management also faces a big challenge in terms of service repetition and lack of coordination. Numerous remedies have been implemented to battle counterfeiting, among them Artificial Intelligence and RFID, among others, all of which have significant issues such as incivility. This project tackles the problem by applying blockchain technology to improve counterfeit determination and assure product items’ authenticity all over the source chain. The scheme is built on blockchain encryption techniques, which promote a decentralized service for genuine authentication and duplication identification. Through the usage of QR codes and barcodes found in wireless technologies, counterfeit items are eradicated . When scanning a product’s QR or barcode with a camera scanner, the product’s unique code is linked to the blockchain, and all its complete details are stored within it. The database consists of multiple blocks, each one representing a unique product. In case of scanning, if the entered code matches with the database, a popup notification will display on the customer’s device that this product is genuine. Contrary to it, if there is no match found, means it is a counterfeit product; then a popup displays on the customer’s mobile, computer screen about the fraud transaction of the manufacturer from which points this scam is originating if the customer allows doing this action using the application . This will enable users to authenticate products independently without relying on sellers.
