Abstract— The advent of social media has transformed global communication, connecting billions of users and facilitating the sharing of ideas. However, it also presents challenges such as the rapid dissemination of misinformation, concerns over transparency, and privacy issues. Blockchain technology offers a promising solution by ensuring data immutability and security while enhancing transparency. This paper proposes an innovative system that integrates blockchain with traditional databases to tackle these issues. By merging blockchain’s security features with the scalability of traditional databases, the proposed system enhances the reliability and security of social media platforms, addressing current challenges and improving user experience.
