Since online commerce is increasingly popular and comes from all over the world, it is not always easy to verify the authenticity of what we buy.

A San Francisco startup, called "Real Items Foundation", is testing a blockchain-based Shopify beta to guarantee the authenticity of its products.

This plugin, a combination of blockchain technology and a cloud-based application called "TAM," allows brands to generate non-fungible tokens (NFTs) linked to physical assets.

In this way, consumers who buy a product that contains an NFT can scan that item to verify its authenticity.

You do not need to download any application simply scan a QR code and verify the authenticity of an article.
