Blockchain technology is known for its high level of security and transparency. This could become a thorn in the side of counterfeiters of pharmaceuticals in the future. In the current situation in particular, every effort was made to research a vaccine. Reason enough for counterfeiters to profit from it and, above all, to sell counterfeit vitamin supplements and anti-malarial drugs. Cybercrime is increasing with digitization, but blockchain technology can soon counteract this. Manufacturers have the option of using the collected data to monitor their deliverers and ensure a higher level of quality assurance.

Through the decentralized database of the blockchain, all entries are individually encrypted so that this data can no longer be manipulated and weak points can be traced more easily. In the future, this could even go so far that end users can view the manufacture and supply chain of their drugs directly through a QR code and check whether they are authentic.
