Survey on Transparent and Tamper-Proof Government Fund Tracking Using Blockchain

The efficient and transparent management of public funds remains one of the most critical challenges faced by governments worldwide. Issues such as corruption, misallocation, and lack of accountability often hinder the equitable distribution of financial resources. This survey paper presents a blockchain-based framework designed to establish transparency, traceability, and immutability in government fund allocation systems. By leveraging cryptographic tools, smart contracts, and distributed consensus mechanisms, the proposed model ensures that every transaction—from fund approval to disbursement—is securely recorded and verifiable. The framework utilizes AES encryption for data confidentiality, public-private key pairs for authentication, and blockchain’s decentralized ledger to maintain tamper-proof financial records. The study aims to demonstrate how blockchain can redefine public financial management by enhancing integrity, reducing fraud, and improving trust between governments and citizens.
