 Abstract—The complexity of modern supply chains poses challenges in ensuring product authenticity and transparency. Counterfeit products and lack of traceability not only erode consumer trust but also impact brand reputation and lead to revenue loss. This paper introduces Blox, a blockchain-based system that integrates cryptographic chaining and an inventory management system to create a secure, traceable ledger of product transactions. Built using CryptoJS for data encryption, MongoDB for metadata storage, React.js for user interfaces, Tailwind CSS for responsive design, and Amazon S3 for storage scalability, Blox provides a robust framework for tracking product provenance. Results from simulated tests show the effectiveness of Blox in improving data transparency and reducing stock discrepancies. This study outlines Blox's architecture, methodology, and potential implications for enhancing product authenticity in global supply chains.
