ABSTRACT:

The rapid growth of digital technology has significantly increased the use of online financial transactions across various sectors. However, current online payment systems rely heavily on banks and other financial institutions as trusted intermediaries, resulting in higher transaction costs, processing delays, and potential security risks. Centralized systems are also vulnerable to cyberattacks, data breaches, and single points of failure, making secure transaction management a major challenge. To address these limitations, this project proposes a Digitised and Decentralized Blockchain Technology system that enables secure peer-to-peer electronic transactions without requiring third-party intermediaries. The proposed system utilizes blockchain technology to maintain a distributed and tamper-resistant ledger in which every transaction is permanently recorded. Each transaction is secured using cryptographic techniques such as the SHA-256 hashing algorithm, ensuring data integrity and preventing unauthorized modifications. The system also employs the Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism to validate transactions before adding new blocks to the blockchain. In addition, Merkle Tree structures are used for efficient transaction verification and improved data consistency. By eliminating dependence on centralized authorities, the proposed solution enhances transparency, reliability, and trust among users while reducing operational costs and transaction processing time. The immutable nature of blockchain prevents fraud, double spending, and data manipulation, making the system highly secure. Overall, this project demonstrates how blockchain technology can be effectively used to build a decentralized, transparent, and efficient digital transaction platform suitable for modern financial applications and future digital payment systems.
