Product Authenticity

Im not sure if this is a right board to post this,  i just think some altcoins has this as the problem solver.

Curious about how blockchain perform to prove product authenticity.

i heard and read that vechain did this with nike but still not sure how it works,  i even send them an application to start the trial of their software but no resposnse received after months now.
so lets say that i would like to launch a product like brand shoes .
to make it more valueable and unique im planning to stamp each product with a serial number to prove its authenticity through a blockchain network.
the only thing crossed in my mind is by making a transaction manually and put the serial number as a note in each transaction and redirect people to the explorer to see their serial number written in blockchain transaction that is not editable nor manipulated and it would be there forever as long as internet live.

so here is my question :

1. Is there such altcoin developing a specific prove authenticator,  from software to design etc.

2. I cant see there is a company doing this prove authenticity method , that is a big question for such a great oppprtunity/potential. whats wrong? is there a serious challenges?

i still looking for an intimate discussion regarding this, a platform that can be an authenticator of certain product.
if you see this and know that there is a similar discussion please put a link to that thread..

also to mod, kindly move this thread into a section where it is the most suitable and widely seen to be commented.
Thanks in advance.

Upon searching, a found this article: How Sneaker Designers Are Busting Knock-Offs With Bitcoin Tech. However, this is very old article, so I don't know what happened to the collab (sneaker term).

And there is this one application from Nike for a patent, they called Cryptokicks: United States Patent and Trademark Office.

I don't know if what I will share is off topic but in my opinion, it is a bit the same but different product. It is about a product I bought online (not direct from the maker) and the product package contains a code where I can input in the makers website if it is the product they made are authentic and a clone.

With the serial number only and it will be available in public ledger so you can get proof that you are buying the real product, not sure that any project tried such things but even if they did they didn't really made it to the end so it becomes another bump and dump project on the exchanges.

Though I could not now remember but I always read of projects or platforms that is exploring the use of the blockchain technology in order to authenticate projects right from the manufacturer of the item down to the hands of the final user. And mind you this is a very important step towards minimizing the proliferation of fake products which can be dangerous if we are dealing with foods and drugs. There can be a good market for this type of a service offering because many goods maker will love to show that they are producing and marketing the real things. And of course, for the consumers to to be sure that they are buying the real and authentic goods.

The serial number still can be counterfeited, the more right approach is to embed a chip within the product.

1. Is there such altcoin developing a specific prove authenticator,  from software to design etc.

The only thing I know is seal.network. It exists since 2017ish. But now it's a failed project. I took a quick look at the Vechain product authenticity, and I'm pretty sure it has a pretty similar concept on the surface.

2. I cant see there is a company doing this prove authenticity method , that is a big question for such a great oppprtunity/potential. whats wrong? is there a serious challenges?  

Looking at the above failed project, here I quote about the team announces why it does not gain any traction.

The outlook of companies using the Seal token does not look very promising at this point. We're operating in a space that's in a very early stage, and over the past four years many things have happened. While quite some companies and organizations have shown interest, our business models require many aspects of the client's business to change. Chip placement during manufacturing, marketing, new revenue models and tokens make it a very hard sell. Considering some of the pressure from the community, we think it's best to part ways.

great article and very helpful! thanks.
i just cant open the file on that United States Patent and Trademark Office site.

true .. thats why i wonder if there is any open source project develop this complicated problem ?

im thinking and searching this for a couple years now ...
anything ?
vechain is the only hope i can get , but it has a price , open sourced one would be great of course!

i can understand why that seal token didnt work.. the business model they used are wrong in my opinion, lots of idea in my head but yeah.. i need someone to talking to , and so far i can only looking for a platform.. not making one but would love to work on that someday though.

so i can only think to write a note through a blockchain a note contains serial number and of course that wont prevent fake products.. that is huge challenge.

any suggestion are very welcome , i really ned it.
thanks everyone!

i think this board is not really an active one to put my urgency in needing such a platform to become a verificator.

to be clear once again um looking for a wide active discussion where i can hear and talk about my problem and get a resolution as soon as possible to be applied regarding this product autheticity.
so far so good but that is not enough.

so please to whoever or especially moderator can you please put my thread elsewhere in a board full of active and serious discussion like software development or something?
anybody can help me out?

You can't move threads because you didn't get enough replies, it should be in the appropriate section.

But if you want you can move this thread on your own anywhere, and I think Beginners and Help section also can fit into this discussion.
