"In the very near future, tokenized barcodes will literally transform much of the technology we use every day. CODEUS is poised to lead that transformation." - Vincent Maher, CEO of TrueIO Barcodes are one of the most enduring technologies in modern commerce. Ubiquitous, cost-effective, and easy to scan, they've served as silent workhorses for decades-encoding product IDs, prices, and inventory data. But their utility has historically stopped at the surface level. A barcode can tell you
what
something is, but not
where
it's been,
who
owns it, or
if
it's authentic. Enter CODEUS. By tokenizing barcodes onto the blockchain, we unlock an entirely new dimension of value: trust, ownership, traceability, automation, and monetization. In short, CODEUS elevates barcodes from passive identifiers into programmable, verifiable assets. This book explores why this transformation matters and what it unlocks for enterprises, developers, and consumers.
