SAY NO TO COUNTERFEIT AND SUBSTANDARD PRODUCTS.

Have you ever been kicked off by counterfeit and fake products? In no doubt, you and I know that the answer to this question is capital YES...
Why did I say so? Just wait a minute let me take you on a ride.
Nowadays, it's obvious that greed has crowned corruption the mother of the day. This is because of the undying hunger in some individuals to own this planet at all cost, which has resulted in pursuit of wealth even in diabolical means. Just imagine the great damage counterfeit items has done to this generation. To this effect, several efforts have been put in place by various agencies and Government bodies to put an end to this ravaging issue of counterfeiting but to no avail.

For instance, in my own country Nigeria, several agencies and organizations such as Standard Organization of Nigeria (SON) and Consumer Protection Council (CPC) have been set to tackle this menace but all have seemed futile. In line with this, a more powerful ally in the fight against counterfeiting from royal stamps to QR codes, authenticity protection methods throughout the ages has posed little to no challenge to counterfeiters.

However, considering all these wasted efforts to make the consumer protection a priority, and to bridge the gap created by mistrust among producers and consumers, my final question is; Can this trust and security of the consumers be achieved again? The answer is still capital YES.
This answer is up to the fact that a group of professionals has taken up the challenge to achieve this result. However, they have come up with a project known as ''Seal'' to achieve this long-awaited result and to make the world a better place.

ABOUT SEAL

Seal is a project organized to protect the value of the world’s most beloved brands, with the aid of a product authentication platform that combines two cutting-edge technologies: blockchain and near-field communication (NFC).

However, with the SEAL platform, brands will find it easy to add Seal’s supply-chain information into their production and distribution processes. Also, retailers will be able to integrate it into their ordering and sales systems swiftly. And consumers will appreciate its ease of use and, of course, with the assurance that they’re buying genuine brand-name goods. Also, sellers on the secondary market will value the trust that Seal provides.

To further demonstrate the readiness of the Seal organizers to tackle counterfeiting and substandard products, they have mapped out four solid components to drive the platform:

THE SEAL CHIP

The Seal chip is a custom dynamic chip that generates a unique code with every scan. The Seal Chip is embedded in physical products to identify them and validate their authenticity.
The Seal platform uses NFC-compatible Seal Chips that brands can embed into any manufactured product effectively, securely, and discretely. Once a Seal Chip has been integrated into a product, the brand scans that product to register it in the Seal Network, thereby pairing it with its digital counterpart on Seal’s blockchain.

THE SEAL APP

The Seal App, which anyone can install on an NFC-compatible smartphone. The Seal App is a free user-friendly mobile application that any consumer can install on their smart device. They can then use the app to scan any brand-name item containing the Seal-chip and instantly verify the authenticity of that product.

THE SEAL NETWORK

The Seal Network is an immutable blockchain database, with nodes which record and validates all transactions involving products containing the Seal Chip. Also, Nodes in Seal’s blockchain database contain every detail about every product in Seal’s blockchain database. In addition to validations of authenticity and transactions, the Seal-network also verifies proof-of-ownership.

THE SEAL TOKEN

The SEAL is the symbol, its a cryptocurrency token produced under the ethereum blockchain.
The Seal Token (SEAL) will serve as the medium of exchange between the different parts of the platform. This will help owners of Seal-authenticated product’s existence, to officially register and claim ownership of that product for a micropayment in Seal Tokens (SEAL), facilitating theft protection and insurance processes. This means that the SEAL can be used to not only claim ownership but also to directly pay for products
