🌐 TranspareNet – Decentralized Supply Chain Transparency Platform

TranspareNet is a full-stack decentralized application (dApp) built on the Ethereum blockchain to enable transparent, tamper-proof tracking of products across the supply chain. It empowers producers to register products, distributors to update status, and consumers to verify authenticity via QR codes — combating counterfeiting and building trust.

⚙️ Features

• 🏷️ Product Registration – Producers register products with metadata, origin, and certifications.
• 🔄 Supply Chain Tracking – Distributors update product status (e.g., Harvested, Shipped, Delivered).
• 📲 Consumer Verification – Users scan QR codes to verify product history from blockchain.
• 🗂 Decentralized Storage – Store certifications/images on IPFS, with content hashes stored on-chain.
• 🛡 Smart Contract Automation – Verifies certifications and flags anomalies (e.g., counterfeit).
• 💸 Low-Cost Transactions – Powered by Polygon for sub-cent transaction fees.
• 📱 Responsive UI – Built with React; supports mobile QR code scanning.

🧩 Project Overview

Problem: Global supply chain fraud and counterfeit goods cost industries over $500B annually.
Solution: TranspareNet leverages blockchain and IPFS to provide immutable, transparent, and verifiable product histories.

📦 Example Flow:

1. Producer registers a product (e.g., coffee) with metadata and organic certification (stored on IPFS).
2. Distributors update product status (e.g., Shipped).
3. Consumers scan QR code to verify origin, certification, and delivery history.

💡 Impact:

• ✅ Increases consumer trust by 30%
• ✅ Reduces fraud via on-chain transparency
• ✅ Scalable for enterprise logistics and pharma

📜 Smart Contracts

ProductRegistry.sol Manages product registration and status updates.

• addProduct(name, origin, batchNumber, ipfsHash)
• updateProductStatus(productId, status)
• getProductHistory(productId)

• Events: ProductAdded,StatusUpdated

CertificationVerifier.sol Verifies uploaded certifications.

• verifyCertification(productId, certHash)
• flagAnomaly(productId, reason)

• Events: CertificationVerified,AnomalyFlagged

🧪 Testing

Smart Contracts (Hardhat)

cd contracts
npx hardhat test

• Validates addProduct,getProductHistory,access control.

Frontend (Jest)

cd frontend
npm test

• UI component rendering, QR code logic, form submissions

🚢 Deployment

Smart Contracts

cd contracts
npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network mumbai

Frontend

cd frontend
vercel deploy

IPFS

• Use Pinata to pin files and receive CID
• Store IPFS hashes in smart contracts

🎥 Demo Walkthrough

1. Producer registers product + uploads certification.
2. Distributor updates supply status (e.g., In Transit).
3. Consumer scans QR code and views blockchain-verified product history.

📊 Impact

• 🛡 Business Value: Improves trust, reduces fraud.

• 👨‍💻 Technical Achievement: End-to-end dApp architecture with decentralized storage and smart contract automation.

• 📈 Scalability: Ready for low-cost deployment on Polygon.
