This project is a blockchain-based application designed for tracking products in a supply chain. Leveraging the power of Ethereum blockchain and IPFS, it provides transparency and traceability from raw materials to the final product. Users can trace the origin, production, and distribution of products, ensuring authenticity and quality.
