Fake products are something which is like producing the same product as that of the original product but by degrading the quality of the product by using the cheap materials. Even though the quality may be low but the product may look same as that of the original product. This makes it merely impossible for the consumer to validate and know whether the product is real or fake. There are very less ways to keep the track of the original products. The customer thinks twice when he needs to buy any product as he or she will have very less way to track the product’s originality. This may cause a huge loss for customer as well as the company. Along with that the customers trust on the company will also get hindered. To avoid this Blockchain can be used in order to have a proper tracking of the product as Blockchain is known for its immutability a proper immutable, transparent tracking can be done. Therefore the main aim is to develop a system which will keep a track of the products main details such as manufacturer name, product ID, product manufactured date, place within the Blockchain, making the system decentralised and immutable with peer to peer transaction so that when the customer receives the product they can verify it by scanning it through the QR code and thereby do the validation of the product
