A Research Proposal for the Decentralized Social Media Application using Blockchain

The platform’s rapid growth in social media has raised concerns about data privacy, censorship and lack of transparency. These platforms mostly store user data on centralized servers, making them vulnerable to attacks and abuse.To solve these problems, this study presents the development of social media using blockchain technology. Leveraging the basic features of blockchain, such as decentralization, transparency, and immutability, the platform aims to provide users with full control over their data and content. The application uses smart contracts to facilitate secure interactions, ensure data integrity, and provide tamper-proof data about posts and activities. Decentralized integration allows solutions to control information flows, ensuring accessibility and privacy. The frontend is built using React, and blockchain interaction is done through the ethers.js library. This article provides an overview of the architecture, design choices, and key challenges encountered during development, including fuel efficiency, user experience, and performance. Reducing censorship potential and security risks. The purpose of this research is to contribute to the growing body of research on business applications and to provide insights into future innovations in the social media space.

Abstract

The platform’s rapid growth in social media has raised concerns about data privacy, censorship and lack of transparency. These platforms mostly store user data on centralized servers, making them vulnerable to attacks and abuse.To solve these problems, this study presents the development of social media using blockchain technology. Leveraging the basic features of blockchain, such as decentralization, transparency, and immutability, the platform aims to provide users with full control over their data and content. The application uses smart contracts to facilitate secure interactions, ensure data integrity, and provide tamper-proof data about posts and activities. Decentralized integration allows solutions to control information flows, ensuring accessibility and privacy. The frontend is built using React, and blockchain interaction is done through the ethers.js library. This article provides an overview of the architecture, design choices, and key challenges encountered during development, including fuel efficiency, user experience, and performance. Reducing censorship potential and security risks. The purpose of this research is to contribute to the growing body of research on business applications and to provide insights into future innovations in the social media space.
