Abstract

In recent Times Blockchain Technology is getting really popular and is very much reliable. Blockchain is Popular due to its security and decentralized system. Blockchain can be termed as a chain of blocks which contain data for each block to be considered as a new node. In the last few years the number of counterfeit products has been at its peak. Hence, it becomes really important to control the flow of these products as it directly affect company’s name, valueand may also affect the consumer. So, there is a needof something that can give the consumer the assurance that the product they are paying for is a Real and Legit product and this will also Protect company from defamation. In this project, by using emerging trends in technology, Quick Response (QR) codes provide a way to counter the fake products. counterfeit products are perceived using a QR code scanner and the QR code of the product is linked to a blockof a Blockchain. The proposed system can store thedata of products and will generate unique and product specific code of that product and will save it as a block.It will collect the unique code from theconsumer which he can get by scanning the QR code given on the product then the system will check forthe code in the blockchain database . If the code matches, it will give a receipt of the product to the customer, otherwise it will notify the customer thatthe product is not legit.
