Research And Application Of Blockchain Technology In Retail Industry

With the birth of Bitcoin,people are more and more interested in its underlying blockchain technology.After years of development,there are more and more more and more application scenarios of blockchain technology,but few examples of the combination of block chain technology and retail industry.The core of the retail industry is the supply chain.It is one of the challenges for the supply chain to ensure the reliable source of goods.Secondly,the widely used supply chain model proposed by GS1 uses a centralized method to store data,which leads to data security cannot be guaranteed and traced information.It is also not open and transparent,and it is impossible to determine the true and effective identity of the participants in the supply chain.Therefore,it is ver y important to study the application of blockchain technology in the retail industry.Firstly,this paper describes the background and significance of this study,summarizes some application scenarios of blockchain technology based on the current development status of blockchain technology;then,it studies and collates the related principles of blockchain technology,deeply studies the infrastructure of block chain technology and the application platform of Etherum,at the same time,it analyzed the traditional management mode,traceability scheme and anti-counterfeiting technology of supply chain,found the problems and risks existing in the current supply chain.Based on previous research and analysis,a product information traceability anti-counterfeiting model based on blockchain technology is proposed.The blockchain technology is combined with EPC-loaded RFID technology to ensure that the traceability data is decentralized,transparent and open,and proposed in the supply chain.It is proposed to transfer EPC in the process of supply chain transactions to ensure that EPC can not be cloned in the circulation process and that the source of goods is reliable.Secondly,the parties involved in the transaction are required to pay a deposit when the goods need to be shipped,so as to restrict the participants from fraud,at the same time,the rules of deposit distribution after the completion of the transaction are formulated.Finally,the model is implemented and verified.The smart contract is written in solidity language to verify on the Ethereum platform.The key parts of the transaction from registration,issuance to final reception are finally implemented and verified to ensure that the model can work normally as expected..Based on block chain technology,this paper ensures that the source of goods in the supply chain can be traced reliably,and transactions can be carried out without trusting the identity of participants.Traceability information is decentralized,which improves the efficiency of anti-counterfeiting traceability and reduces the cost of anti-counterfeiting traceability.
