Transparent Donation Management with Smart Contract-Based Blockchain

Abstract

Smart contract-based blockchain applications are preferred because they provide traceability, immutability and security in verification processes. All transactions, money transfers and queries are recorded with the distributed ledger it contains. The consensus algorithm, which enables transactions in the blockchain to be confirmed among the nodes in the network and recorded in the distributed ledger, provides security against brute force attacks. In this study, a transparent donation system that provides crypto money transfer with a smart contract published on the blockchain between the donor organization and the donor/institution without the need for a central data processing unit has been developed. In the system, the transactions made on the blockchain with the smart contract are recorded. The proposed study is a decentralized application that enables transparent tracking of the donor, the amount donated and the donated institutions. It is aimed to ensure that donations are transferred to more than one institution at the same time with a smart contract. This study is carried out in order to encourage donations received from the public by ensuring that institutions are honest, reliable and transparent.
