Meet The Data Pirates: UNBLOKC Hackathon 2023 Contenders

Spotlight: The Data Pirates at UNBLOKC Hackathon 2023

One of the standout teams at the UNBLOKC Hackathon 2023, The Data Pirates, is turning heads with their innovative blockchain-powered solution — ProTonticator.

The Project: ProTonticator

ProTonticator is an application designed to authenticate physical products using blockchain technology. In a market where counterfeit goods and unauthorized resellers pose a constant threat to consumers, ProTonticator offers a robust layer of protection. By verifying a product's originality and confirming it comes directly from the manufacturer, the app helps buyers avoid falling victim to fake or replica items.

The solution taps into blockchain's core strength — immutability and transparency — to create a trustworthy record of a product's authenticity. It's a real-world use case that addresses a widespread consumer problem, and it's exactly the kind of practical innovation that hackathons like UNBLOKC aim to inspire.
