Ethereum Application for Product Anti-Counterfeiting

Abstract

The project's goal is to create an application that assures consumers don't have to rely solely on merchants to determine whether or not products are authentic. It also assures that producer may use this system to supply genuine products without having to run direct operated outlets, lowering product quality assurance costs dramatically. The trade in counterfeit goods is expanding, hurting the sales and earnings of businesses who are affected. This project proposes a fully-functional blockchain system to prevent product counterfeiting to ensure the identification and traceability of real products throughout the supply chain. Establishments only need to pay minimal transaction fees, and they no longer need to be concerned about the probability of obtaining counterfeit products. This project utilizes Ethereum blockchain and Remix to develop the application code in the form of a Smart Contract. For testing and implementation, Ganache and MetaMask are used, which simulates the blockchain environment and user account respectively. The Client-Side application leverages with Reactjs and Web3js to interact with smart contract and provide its functionalities to the users, maintaining the integrity of the system.
