        abstract = {This project presents a Decentralized Carpooling Platform designed to facilitate secure, transparent, and trustless ride-sharing using blockchain technology. The system leverages Ethereum smart contracts to manage ride listings, bookings, payments, and reputation tracking between drivers and passengers without the need for intermediaries.The core functionalities are implemented through robust smart contracts that allow drivers to create ride offers and passengers to book seats by transferring Ether. The system ensures transactional integrity by validating availability, automating payments, and recording bookings on the blockchain. Additionally, a reputation mechanism enables passengers to rate drivers, promoting accountability and service quality.An auxiliary contract (DataBank) is integrated to handle user-related metadata, providing modularity and potential support for off-chain enhancements such as identity verification or profile management.This decentralized approach not only enhances transparency and security, but also reduces operational costs and fosters a peer-to-peer ecosystem for urban mobility. The platform is scalable and can be extended to support advanced features such as dynamic pricing, route optimization, and integration with decentralized identity systems.},
