NEXUS (Network for Ensuring eXemplary and Unblemished Safety) is an innovative blockchain-based application designed to combat counterfeit drugs and enhance pharmaceutical supply chain security. Counterfeit medications pose a significant threat to public health, leading to treatment failures, adverse reactions, and even fatalities. Traditional supply chain systems lack transparency and real-time tracking, making them vulnerable to fraud, diversion, and tampering. NEXUS addresses these challenges by leveraging blockchain technology to ensure transparency, authenticity, and efficiency throughout the supply chain.
