Prove it's real. Prove no one opened it.
A cryptographic NFC seal for the bottle. Your customer taps it with their phone — no app — and sees that it's genuine and has never been broken.
One Tap. No App.
A hologram can be copied. A refilled bottle looks perfect.
Counterfeiting and bottle-refilling quietly erode premium drinks brands — and when you ship direct, a customer has no way to know a bottle wasn't opened in transit, and you have no proof of the condition it left in.
Authenticus makes authenticity something a customer can check in one tap — and something a forger can't fake.
Three answers, no app, no login.
It's genuine
Each tap generates a fresh cryptographic code the platform verifies. Unlike a QR code or hologram, the chip can't be copied or reused.
It's unopened
A tamper wire runs across the seal. Break the cap and the tag reports it electronically — permanently — even if the seal is resealed.
It arrived safely
For direct shipments, the recipient taps the seal on delivery — confirming it arrived intact and logging who received it, and when.
The others prove a code exists. Ours proves the bottle is the bottle.

| Detects a refilled / reopened bottle | No | No | Yes — tamper wire |
| Verifiable by any phone, no app | Yes | No | Yes |
| Proof of sealed delivery (DTC) | No | No | Yes |
| Tells you where & when it's scanned | Limited | No | Yes — every tap logged |
Three steps, from bottling line to your customer's hand.
Seal
A tamper-evident NFC seal is applied over the cap–neck junction. Removing it destroys both the seal and the tag.
Encode
Each seal is encoded with a unique cryptographic identity and registered to your brand — done in-house on our encoder, no data leaves your control.
Tap
Your customer taps the bottle. In under a second they see a branded page confirming it's genuine and sealed. You see every verification.
Brands with a name worth protecting.
Wherever the bottle is premium, the resale value is real, or you ship direct to the person drinking it.
