Followine is an innovative Italian start-up founded in June 2017, with the aim of developing a system capable of effectively fight the phenomenon of wine counterfeiting. The Mission is to create a global ecosystem that connects the actors of the wine world and consumers, encouraging the emergence of new international models of communication and business.
The service offered by the Company provides for random and univocal QR codes supply, printed on the rear-labels of each individual bottle of wine produced by the member company. These codes are generated through a proprietary algorithm and registered on a platform (Followine Security System - FSS) based on blockchain technology, which ensures continuity of service, data protection, and scalability.
Followine is an innovative Italian start-up founded in June 2017 with the aim of developing a system capable of effectively counter the phenomenon of wine counterfeiting. The Mission is to create a global ecosystem that connects the actors of the wine world and consumers, encouraging the emergence of new international models of communication and business. What differentiates Followine from competitors is an in-depth study of the counterfeiting phenomenon. More than three years and about € 30K have been spent to travel the world, gather testimonies and data able to improve the system. The know-how acquired is certainly the secret sauce, the one that no competitor can ever subtract.
What brought all this? Certainly everything that follows and will follow: a circuit based on a circulating Token, the effectiveness of the anti-counterfeiting algorithm, the efficiency of the whole system, its selfsustainability over time, the possibility of making it evolve over the years , the independence of the eco-system from the type of technology used, the work on an AI, the possibility of integration of an autonomous machine-learning process, the creation of an inclusive eco-system that focuses not only on our client but on all the wine market stakeholders.

The vision of the project is very interesting and certainly there is no such service on the market that works well and is always available to people. Such a platform, exploiting Blockchain technology, can be very prolific in the future, but also very useful to avoid counterfeiting.
The team is a very young but also ambitious, the fact is that they have also implemented their own algorithm for the functionality of the platform. Perhaps the expert developer is lacking to make a qualitative leap in technology and to get the project to take off at higher levels, but they are on the right track.
They already have an available MVP, which already offers a pretty good preview of how the platform will be. I also consider "immigration" from Ethereum to be a good decision, as a blockchain not quite adapted to this type of platform.
Website and whitepaper are complete and very well taken care of, as well as social media and communication channels, in the whitepaper there are complete analyzes of the market, of the product, problems, solutions and everything that needs to be known, perhaps a little more detailed tokenomics are missing , as well as the famous "reserve fund" that every project should propose, while only 5% for the Team tends to be very little, as well as the high-level bonuses in the early stages of crowdfunding, could be dangerous and detrimental to the stability of the currency in the future.
All in all, the impression is positive, although there will be a lot of work to be done and it should always be improved, to bring a good amount of producers to adopt your platform.
Very interesting project!
Good team and advisor, the project perfectly match the blockchain technology.
Good community on social networks although not very committed.
As a French person I'm really waiting for more information !

Followine has an experienced team and several renowned advisors.
The MVP is operational, and the project make good use of the blockchain technology while responding to a current market problem.
However, it would benefit from being better known and strengthening its community on social networks.
