NFC (Near Field Communication) Smart Tags are small, intelligent chips embedded in products or packaging that enable seamless communication between a device, like a smartphone, and the tag. Berify’s NFC Smart Tags are designed to provide consumers and brands with an interactive, secure, and efficient way to verify products, access exclusive content, and engage with digital experiences. Here's how they work:
1. The Basics of NFC Technology
NFC stands for Near Field Communication, a technology that allows two devices to communicate when they are in close proximity (a few centimeters).
- NFC Smart Tags consist of a tiny chip and an antenna.
- When a compatible device (like a smartphone) comes near the tag, it powers the tag wirelessly and enables data exchange.
2. How Consumers Use NFC Smart Tags
Consumers can interact with NFC Smart Tags in the following steps:
- Locate the Tag: Find the NFC Smart Tag on the product or packaging, often indicated by an NFC icon or branding.
- Scan the Tag: Hold your smartphone close to the NFC tag.
- Unlock Content: The scan triggers an action, such as opening the Berify app, displaying product information, or verifying authenticity.
3. Behind the Scenes: What Happens During a Scan
When an NFC Smart Tag is scanned:
- Device Communication: The smartphone powers the NFC chip and initiates data exchange.
- Data Retrieval: The chip sends unique data to the device, such as product details, blockchain verification, or a URL to access the content.
- Authentication: For Berify-enabled products, the tag connects to blockchain records to verify product authenticity.
- Consumer Experience: The consumer gains access to exclusive content, promotions, or NFTs tied to the product.
4. Benefits of NFC Smart Tags
NFC Smart Tags offer unique advantages for both consumers and brands:
- For Consumers:
- Instant access to product details and updates.
- Easy authentication of product authenticity.

5. Security and Blockchain Integration
Berify’s NFC Smart Tags are integrated with blockchain technology to ensure maximum security:
- Each tag contains a unique ID tied to blockchain records, making it tamper-proof and immutable.
- This ensures that consumers can confidently verify the authenticity of their products.
6. What Makes Berify’s NFC Smart Tags Stand Out
- Interactive Experiences: Unlock engaging content and promotions directly from the product.
