Abstract
A blockchain-based 'fork chain' system and method for tracking RFID labels and other products. The method ensures authenticity at each step, and that the digital identity of a physical item can be accurately verified. The method may include: (a) receiving and verifying RFID chips manufactured by a trusted supplier; (b) creating a blockchain related to the chips; (c) assembling the chips into a roll inlay, the inlays into a carton and the cartons into a pallet; (d) updating the blockchain with roll, carton, and pallet codes; (e) taking receipt from a specific trusted individual and adding verification to the blockchain; and (f) activating a digital identity. GPS information may be associated with each step in the process to ensure that the product is properly present at the appropriate manufacturing and encoding locations. Once a digital identity is produced for the product, it may be added to by subsequent users.
