Blockchain Technology Used to Track Stolen Watermelons in Texas – Fake or Real? A viral rumor claims Texas farmers are using blockchain technology to track stolen watermelons in real-time, with thieves caught via tamper-proof digital records. Is this true? Let’s be clear: no one is tracking watermelons with blockchain on Texas farms. The story originated from a parody article by a satirical site and was shared as fact on social media. While blockchain technology has agricultural uses like supply chain transparency for organic produce, mass fruit theft tracking is not one of them. So don’t fall for this fake – it’s a juicy rumor, but entirely made up.
