        abstract = {This research introduces a Blockchain-based  Decentralized Application  designed to address these issues. Leveraging Ethereum smart contracts and decentralized storage via IPFS, the application ensures secure peer-to-peer communication, immutable data storage, and enhanced transparency. By eliminating the need for centralized intermediaries, the Blockchain-based Decentralized Application empowers users, prioritizes data privacy, and fosters trust.
