QR codes are just symbols in a camera readible way and barcodes numbers in a camara readible way.
A storage medium for 0´s & 1´s like a USB stick or a disc but way less storage.
Yes, a QR code is a representation of digital data. There are different versions which can represent different amounts of data. The represented data can be anything that you want, as long as the scanning device can interpret that data as something useful.
They dont add any security,
An RFID tag holding a blockchain token string also does not add any security, it’s just a different thing holding an alphanumeric value. They could just use RFID tags without the blockchain, the result would be the same.
But my point is mostly that this is already an entirely solved problem, you don’t need very many bits to store a useful unique ID code, you certainly don’t need a blockchain-token-value amount of bits, and a printed paper tag is cheaper, easier to manufacture, and less environmentally impactful than a microchip.
