Supply Chain Transparency

Global supply chains are broken in ways most consumers never see. A product might pass through 10+ intermediaries between factory and shelf. At each step, records are kept in separate systems — spreadsheets, ERPs, paper documents — that don't talk to each other. This creates three serious problems. First, counterfeiting: the global counterfeit goods market is worth $500B+ annually. Second, compliance: one missing certificate can block an entire shipment at customs for weeks. Third, trust: when something goes wrong — a food contamination event, a labor violation — tracing the source takes days or weeks instead of seconds. Blockchain doesn't magically fix bad logistics. But it does create a single, tamper-proof record that every party can trust without trusting each other.
