WaBi is a digital cryptocurrency that supports Walimai’s anti-counterfeit system and backed by sales of the product protected by its technology.

Walimai developed this project to link physical things electronically to which makes it possible to protect everyday consumer products like milk-powder, medical products, drinks, and other things both physically and digitally.

With the growing rate of fake products in circulation estimated at 61 billion USD globally, it is therefore vital that food items and pharmaceutical products are adequately authenticated before it gets to consumers. Though the blockchain can prevent this to a large extent, it can only achieve this if each product is recorded on the blockchain.

The WaBi project comes in by linking physical and digital assets through RFID tags which have anti-copy protection functionality in place. Consumers are therefore able to identify genuine products using gadgets such as mobile devices.
