        abstract = {The rapid growth of social media platforms has raised concerns regarding data privacy, content ownership, and centralized control. Traditional social media systems store user data in centralized servers, making them vulnerable to data breaches, censorship, and unauthorized manipulation. This paper proposes a decentralized social media platform using blockchain technology to ensure secure, transparent, and tamper-proof data management. The system allows users to create, share, and interact with content while maintaining full ownership of their data. Each post is stored as a transaction in the blockchain, ensuring immutability and traceability. The platform also integrates authentication, decentralized identity management, and content verification mechanisms.},
