NFC + Blockchain · EU DPP Compliant · From €50,000

Trust infrastructure
for luxury
brands that
can't be copied.

Certus embeds cryptographic NFC tags and blockchain-anchored Digital Product Passports into perfume, leather goods, and jewelry — so independent brands finally have the same protection as LVMH, without the enterprise contract.

One scan. One truth.

Until now.
Until Certus.
The gap nobody filled

QR codes are falsifiable.
Enterprise contracts are unreachable.

01

QR codes can be copied in minutes

A photograph. A printer. A convincing URL. Static authentication is not authentication — it's theater that sophisticated counterfeiters laugh at.

02

Enterprise solutions start at €50,000

Aura Blockchain Consortium, Arianee, and the rest serve LVMH and Richemont brands. Independent houses with €5M–€50M revenue are locked out entirely.

03

The resale market demands proof

The RealReal and Vestiaire Collective now require NFC authentication for premium consignment. Brands without it are systematically excluded from the €35B second-hand market.

The mechanism

From physical product to cryptographic proof — in four steps.

Step 01
Embed
NTAG 424 DNA cryptographic NFC tag embedded into product or packaging. Each chip carries a unique, unclonable identity.
Step 02
Anchor
Tag identity registered on an immutable private ledger. Hash timestamp creates the cryptographic proof — no backdoors, no edits.
Step 03
Verify
Any smartphone — no app required. Tap the NFC tag and the Digital Product Passport opens instantly with cryptographic proof of authenticity.
Step 04
Trace
Ownership transfers, service history, and lifecycle events recorded on-chain. Every authenticated item becomes verifiable at resale — forever.
The regulatory forcing function

Every luxury product sold in the EU will need a Digital Product Passport by 2027.

The EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation makes DPPs mandatory. Brands that have authentication infrastructure in place before the deadline will set the standard. Everyone else will be scrambling to catch up.

The Certus position

In a world of noise and replication, trust becomes the real luxury.

Certus was built for the founders who watched the enterprise platforms ignore them — and decided to build the infrastructure themselves. Every authenticated product is a declaration: this is real, this is ours, this cannot be faked.
