Current Global Problem
Counterfeit goods make up about 2.5% of global imports according to Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). PriceWaterhouseCoopers has estimated in its 2017 report that the surging cost of global counterfeiting has been 563 billion Euros in 2000s and 1.594 trillion Euros in 2010s (strategyand.pwc.com).
This does not include collateral damage caused by counterfeit goods: legal battles between brands and consumers, additional cost to repair or replace counterfeit goods, medical problems caused by inferior materials used in counterfeit goods, and even death.

Our Solution

It Starts With the Crypto-Tag™
A Crypto-Tag™ (U.S. Patent Pending) is embedded within the product which will serve as the Crypto-Engine. The Crypto-Tag™ can be manipulated into virtually any type of material, making our Crypto-Tag™ versatile for any product on the market.
Supply Chain Authentication
As each item moves through the supply chain from distributors, to wholesalers, to retailers, additional data will be recorded onto the blockchain via the Crypto-Tag™ & enterprise applications. This authentication process will not only protect the brand, but also protect those selling the brand.
Consumer Verification
Consumers and third-party sellers will scan products with their mobile devices to verify the authenticity and also register purchased goods adding the final layer of authentication.
