ION
The global development of a product or
technology always comes with risk factor such
as counterfeiting and duplication, which can
affect the company name, company revenue,
and customer health. The basic idea of the
project is to verify that the product purchased
by the customer is fake or real. In comparison
with blockchain we have traditional supply

centralized network where the data is in the
hand of the company which provides the
service or the products in the market, and they

Fig 1 . CONCLUSION
Counterfeiting products are growing exponentially with the
enormous amount online. So, there is a strong need to detecting
counterfeit products and blockchain technology is used to detect
fake products. Furthermore, the information is encoded into a QR
code. Customers or users scan the QR code and then they can
detect the fake product. Digital information of product can be
stored in the form of blocks in blockchain technology. Thus, in
this paper we discussed the system and the solution to fight
against the malpractices of counterfeiting of the products and
proposed the system which is useful for end user to detect
whether the product is fake or not by checking the throughout
history of the product in the supply chain. End user can scan QR
code assigned to a product and can get all the information that
has been put up throughout the supply chain in the blockchain on
which end to end user can check whether the product is genuine
or not.
