Tap or scan the seal
A buyer taps the NFC chip or scans the QR on the Hologuard label with any phone camera — no app install required.
Hologuard mints a tamper-evident authenticity seal for every physical unit you make — a serialized holographic label backed by an on-chain provenance record. One scan tells the truth: genuine, or a clone.
From shop shelf to cryptographic proof in under 400 milliseconds.
A buyer taps the NFC chip or scans the QR on the Hologuard label with any phone camera — no app install required.
The chip signs a fresh random nonce with its embedded key. A replayed photo of a QR can't forge a live signature — so screenshots fail.
We resolve the serial against its on-chain record: who made it, which lot, every custody hop, and whether the seal was ever marked VOID.
The buyer sees a plain verdict and the full provenance trail. Tamper or duplicate-scan anomalies flip the verdict to VOID and alert the brand.
Three independent layers a counterfeiter would have to defeat at once.
Peel the label and a latent VOID mesh delaminates into the adhesive. The seal can be read once, on the genuine unit, in its original place.
A machine-generated guilloche micro-border and a diffractive holo foil that ordinary print and scan-reprint pipelines can't reproduce.
Each chip holds a unique key it never exports. Verification is a fresh challenge–response, so a copied serial number alone is worthless.
Wherever a fake costs money, health, or trust.
Issue seals from your line; verify from anywhere. Two calls.
// 1. Mint a seal for a unit coming off the line import { Hologuard } from "@hologuard/sdk"; const hg = new Hologuard({ apiKey: process.env.HG_KEY }); const seal = await hg.seals.issue({ sku: "WATCH-OCEANIC-42", lot: "LOT-0XF3", origin: "Solingen, DE", nfc: true, // provision the embedded chip key }); console.log(seal.serial); // HG-8842-7C19-A4D0 // 2. Verify a scan (challenge-response, not just a lookup) const result = await hg.verify(scan.payload); if (result.status === "VALID") grantWarranty(result.provenance);
What the seal changed for three very different makers.
"Gray-market resales used to gut our warranty data. Now every watch carries its own provenance — resale fraud dropped 73% in one quarter."
"A pharmacist scans the vial and sees the full custody chain plus the cold-chain log. Falsified-medicine complaints went to zero across two markets."
"Counterfeit titanium bolts are a safety nightmare. Hologuard's live-challenge seal made 'looks genuine' irrelevant — only a real chip passes audit."
