Abstract
The rise of counterfeit products within global supply chains poses substantial risks to consumer safety and brand integrity. In response, this study proposes an innovative system for detecting fake products through the integration of blockchain technology. By employing a permissioned blockchain network and smart contracts, the system establishes a secure and transparent ledger that records product-related data in an immutable and tamper-proof manner. Unique product identifiers, such as QR codes or RFID tags, are linked to blockchain entries, allowing consumers and authorized stakeholders to easily verify the authenticity and origin of a product. The decentralized nature of data storage across the blockchain network ensures resilience against tampering, providing end-to- end traceability and transparency throughout the supply chain. The suggested arrangement not only improves trust and security but also empowers consumers to make informed choices, strengthens brand protection, and contributes to the overall integrity of the global supply chain.
