Abstract—In response to the increasing concerns over centralized control and data privacy within traditional social networks, this research introduces a pioneering platform leveraging blockchain technology to revolutionize the social networking landscape. By integrating blockchain's foundational pillars of transparency, immutability, and distributed consensus, this platform sets forth a transformative approach centered on trust and security. In this innovative paradigm, users retain ownership and control of their data, while the blockchain infrastructure ensures an unalterable record of interactions. Smart contracts play a pivotal role, facilitating secure content sharing and engagement, thereby fostering community-based governance.

This merger of blockchain and social networking not only empowers users but also addresses critical issues prevalent in the modern online social landscape. The incorporation of smart contracts introduces a user-driven governance model, allowing communities to articulate and enforce their own rules autonomously. This self-executing system ensures user participation in defining the operational framework of the social network, aligning platform values with collective interests. By amalgamating blockchain technology with social networking, this platform not only mitigates the deficiencies of traditional networks but also empowers users to steer their online experiences, fostering a more secure, transparent, and community-driven digital social environment.
