Abstract
In the contemporary global market landscape, the widespread existence of counterfeit merchandise poses a substantial menace to both consumers and legitimate enterprises. The emergence of fraudulent products not only erodes consumer confidence but also detrimentally affects the market presence and integrity of authentic brands. This paper presents an innovative strategy aimed at countering the proliferation of counterfeit goods by harnessing the power of block chain-based methodologies and the Salesman Algorithm. Our proposed approach is designed to identify and flag counterfeit items within the market by scrutinizing diverse data metrics and trends associated with their distribution and sales. Through the utilization of block chain-based techniques such as classification and clustering algorithms, the system can assimilate insights from past data and pinpoint irregularities indicative of counterfeit products. Moreover, we employ the Salesman Algorithm renowned for its optimization prowess to refine the inspection and surveillance procedures, thereby enhancing the efficacy of counterfeit detection endeavors. By seamlessly integrating block chain-based with the Salesman Algorithm, our methodology presents a holistic solution to tackle the challenges posed by counterfeit products in the market. By accurately discerning counterfeit merchandise, enterprises can safeguard their brand credibility, shield consumers from fraudulent transactions, and foster a more transparent and reliable marketplace. The efficacy of our proposed approach is validated through rigorous experimentation and analysis using authentic datasets, underscoring its potential to mitigate the detrimental impacts of counterfeit goods on the economy and society at large.
