Abstract

Growing counterfeiting and lack of transparency in international supply chains require sophisticated new tools for authentication and traceability to prevent imitation and provide end-customer visibility. In this study, we present a common-blockchain (basket blockchain) for applications across various sectors including pharmaceuticals, agriculture, fashion and electronics, aiming to solve the issue of scalability and interoperability in the blockchain and to achieve real-time traceability. Unlike current sector-wise solutions, the proposed model combines smart contract-enabled anti-counterfeiting features, decentralized id management, and low-cost deployment as to allow adoption also in resource-restricted areas. A hybrid on and off-chain model is used to facilitate effective data governance and security, with the integration of privacy-preserving protocols and sustainability KPIs aimed at compliance and environmental-regulatory requirements. Through realistic case studies, pilot applications, as well as performance evaluations, this study elucidates the framework’s effectiveness toward mitigating the threat of counterfeits, improving trust among the supply chain actors, and simplifying the supply chain management in both the developed and developing countries.
