Authenticity you can prove in a single tap.
Counterfeiting is a multi-trillion-dollar problem hiding in plain sight. We make a product's authenticity something anyone can check with their phone — and something a forger can't reproduce.
One Tap. No App.
The problem
Counterfeiting and tampering quietly erode the value of premium brands. A hologram can be mass-faked; a QR code can be copied from a photo; an authentic bottle can be emptied and refilled. The tools most brands rely on prove that a mark exists — not that this specific item is the real one.
Our approach
Authenticus uses cryptographic NFC chips (NTAG424 DNA). Every tap generates a fresh, single-use code the platform verifies, so a tag can't be cloned or replayed. Where a product can be opened, a tamper wire reports a broken seal electronically — permanently, even if it's resealed. It all works with a plain phone tap: no app, no account.
What we believe
Proof beats claims. Trust should be something a customer can verify in seconds, not something they have to take on faith.
No friction. If verifying means downloading an app, most people never will. A tap on any phone is the whole interaction.
Your data stays yours. Tags are encoded and registered to your brand; keys and customer data stay in your control, not ours.
Where we're focused
Today our focus is premium spirits and wine — categories where counterfeiting, refilling, and direct-to-consumer shipping all bite at once. The same core protects any product with a story worth proving; see the platform.
