GS1 Digital Link Sunrise 2027

GS1 Sunrise 2027 moves point-of-sale scanning to QR codes carrying GS1 Digital Link URIs — the same identifier format QRON uses to attach a signed, verifiable record to every code it issues.

Why QRON

• GS1 Digital Link is the item-identity format in the AuthiChain protocol spec, not a proprietary URL scheme
• One QR code serves both GS1 Digital Link resolution and Ed25519-signed verification — no second code needed
• Existing GTINs and serials map directly into a verifiable record; nothing about your GS1 numbering changes

How it works

Issue a unique identifier per unit, anchor its record on-chain for tamper-evidence, and let anyone verify it with a single scan. Plans start at $29/mo.

FAQ

Does Sunrise 2027 require blockchain?

No — Sunrise 2027 is a GS1 retail-scanning standard. Anchoring the record on-chain is optional and adds tamper-evidence on top of a compliant Digital Link QR code.

Will our current barcodes stop working?

No — Sunrise 2027 adds 2D scanning capability at POS; linear barcodes keep working during and after the transition.
