With the rise of globalization and the rapid advancements in technology, the volume of production has surged, making it easier to acquire counterfeit goods to an unprecedented degree. All types of industrial manufacturers and distributors are currently working to increase supply chain operations' openness to prevent counterfeiting, whether it be for food, medicine, or luxury goods. In order to identify counterfeit products within the supply chain system, this paper proposes a decentralized Blockchain-based application system (DApp) to authenticate products and detect counterfeit products. With the quick development of the Blockchain technology, It is widely acknowledged that the data stored there is secure and unchangeable. As a result, this idea is used in the proposed system to handle the transfer of ownership of goods. A Quick Response (QR) code issued by the DApp for each product connected to the Blockchain can be scanned by a customer to confirm the distribution and ownership information of the goods.
