Nitches Inc. is building an Owner Verification System (OVS), which features a decentralized application (dApp). The OVS dApp is being built on the Ethereum blockchain.
Nitches has developed the OVS and advanced mobile app to prove the authenticity of its exclusive clothing items from capsule collections developed with top celebrities and influencers. Athleisure collections with Nick Cooper, vocal coach from American Idol, and John Lewis, the BadAss Vegan, will soon be available for sale. The app operates on both iOS and Android devices.
John Morgan, Nitches Inc. CEO, said:
“We believe our OVS mobile app is the first-of-its-kind in the fashion industry and an important step in preventing counterfeiting, a widespread issue in today’s market.”
Nitches team has also designed application programming interfaces (APIs) for the web store, including product listings, order creation, user creation, one-time password (OTP) verification, non-fungible token (NFT) transfers and more. The company is collaborating with NFT artists to create integrated digital designs of its luxury streetwear items that can be transferred to buyers.
Nitches OVS features 10 easy steps to validate authenticity of products purchased and obtain NFTs for use in the metaverse. Nitches’ sews a unique QR code into every item it manufactures. Buyers can download the OVS app on their mobile devices and scan these codes to register their products. After OTP passwords are verified via phone or email, buyers can claim perks, such as embedded NFTs, that can be digitally transferred to buyers’ wallets through the OVS mobile app.
In the future, Nitches plans to license its OVS technology, making it available to other businesses that want to protect their merchandise from counterfeiting.

The OVS dApp will integrate with leading Ethereum/Polygon wallets, including MetaMask, Ledger Nano X, TronLink, Scatter, Coinbase and Trust.
The company also plans to accept cryptocurrency payments on its web stores. Customers will be able to check out with popular cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, DAI, Dogecoin or USD Coin for limited-edition clothing items from celebrity capsule collections.
John Morgan, said:
“Nitches is fully embracing Web 3.0 and metaverse technologies, whether it’s creating NFTs of our luxury clothing, accepting crypto payments or developing our dApp with smart contracts on the Ethereum/Polygon blockchain. We want to lead the fashion industry by merging cutting-edge technology with the highest-quality clothing items in the market, created with today’s top celebrities and influencers.”
Web 3.0, the third version of the Internet, will be decentralized, giving people more control over their data. Nitches’ OVS dApp interacts with Web 3.0 technologies, such as non-fungible tokens (NFTs). NFTs of hoodies, baseball caps and other items are currently being created. They will be transferred to owners after they are registered using the OVS dApp. Registration will prove ownership and verify the legitimacy of the items. The dApp consists of four other Web 3.0-related components.
- Front end – the dApp takes input from users and builds requests that are deployed on the network as smart contracts.
- QR codes – users scan the QR code that is sewn into each piece of clothing to start the verification process.
- Polygon/Ethereum wallets – where users sign transactions and send them to the network.
- Smart contracts – our developers wrote the logic of the dAPP into smart contracts, which are programs that run on the Ethereum blockchain. Smart contracts are created when money is exchanged, services delivered or digitally protected content unlocked.
Web 3.0 is being built on blockchain technology that is maintained without a central authority. Blockchain data is distributed, making it more safe and secure.
