Decentralized Fund Management System for Indian Temples Powered by Blockchain

This research provides a proposal to integrate blockchain technology with a web application to come up with a solution for the fund management issues that the temples face. The main purpose of the research is to solve the problems of transparency, corruption and trust amidst donors and authorities of temple. Enabling the combination of a database management arrangement and a user-friendly website, a private blockchain was developed. The website is powered by smart contracts and serves as a solution that is capable of making fund operations accountable and visible. The outcomes of using this solution showed improvement in transparency, less corruption and increase of trust among donors. The temple authorities became more answerable and efficient as donors observed the movement of the donations in real time. This study gives a possible solution for temples to get the trust of their members back in order to ensure that the donations are properly implemented and a generation of cultural heritage is conserved.
