Abstract - Fake products are a big problem in many industries, causing losses for businesses and risks for customers. This project aims to detect fake products using QR codes and blockchain technology. Each genuine product will have a unique QR code linked to a blockchain ledger. When scanned, the QR code will show the product’s details, including its origin, manufacturing date, and authenticity. Blockchain ensures that the information is secure and cannot be changed or faked. Customers and businesses can verify products instantly by scanning the QR code. If a fake product is detected, it will be reported in the system. This method reduces fraud and increases trust in the market. It also helps brands protect their reputation and customers avoid counterfeit goods. The project will create a simple, secure, and reliable solution for product verification.
