The Problem of Luxury Counterfeits
The global market for counterfeit products reaches €450 billion annually, severely affecting luxury brands. Counterfeit bags, watches, jewelry, clothing, and accessories not only damage brand reputation but also fund criminal networks. Blockchain technology offers a definitive solution to protect the authenticity of each product.
How Does Blockchain Authentication Work?
Each luxury product receives a unique digital identity registered on the blockchain:
- Unique identifier: NFC code, RFID chip, or QR code linked to the product
- Digital certificate: Manufacturing information, materials, artisans
- Ownership history: Record of each ownership transfer
- Instant verification: Any buyer can verify authenticity
Physical-Digital Linking Technologies
To connect the physical product with its blockchain identity:
- NFC: Chips encapsulated in the product, verifiable with a smartphone
- RFID: Invisible tags integrated into seams or components
- Connected holograms: Visual elements linked to digital verification
- Micro-engraving: Unique codes engraved on metal components
Secure Secondary Market
Blockchain transforms the luxury second-hand market:
- Authentication verification before purchase
- Complete ownership and maintenance history
- Secure transfer of digital ownership
- Protection against stolen or counterfeit products
