Abstract

In today’s supply chain, problems like repeated work, poor coordination, and lack of transparency make it hard to stop fake products. Counterfeit items look very similar to original ones, so identifying them has become a big challenge. This affects both companies and customers. Earlier methods such as RFID, AI models, and simple QR codes were used, but they all have limitations. For example, QR codes can be copied easily, and AI systems need high computing power. In this project, we use Blockchain to check the complete product history and confirm if a product is real or not. Since Blockchain is decentralized and its data cannot be changed once stored, it is safer for keeping product details. This work mainly aims to create a simple and secure system using Blockchain to help detect and prevent fake products.
