Traditional centralized authentication systems are vulnerable to data tampering, lack transparency, and fail to provide end-to-end traceability. This paper proposes a blockchain-based product authentication framework that ensures secure, transparent, and tamper-proof tracking of products across the supply chain. The system integrates QR-code tagging, smart contracts, distributed ledger technology, and decentralized verification mechanisms to prevent counterfeit infiltration. Experimental evaluation demonstrates improved traceability accuracy, reduced verification time, and enhanced trust among stakeholders compared to conventional centralized databases. The proposed framework provides a scalable and secure solution for real-time product verification and counterfeit elimination.
