DECENTRALIZED DONATION EXPERT SYSTEM TO BRING DOWN COVID-19

    https://doi.org/10.1142/S0218348X2150273XCited by:2 (Source: Crossref)

    Due to the exponential growth in the use of systems with applications of blockchain technology, this paper develops a funding system, with donations and offers of shares, through the Ethereum platform with blockchain technology. Given the benefits that blockchain provides data protection and has high security, this paper offers a decentralized donation expert system using smart contracts that makes fully reliable donation systems to attract more funds to this urgent global health issue. Smart contracts provide faithful donations and meet the characteristics of being versatile, accessible, and sustainable to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. This expert system found the Merkle grid as an optimum method to work efficiently on the blockchain. The expert system proved to be steady and efficient by using an essential test dataset. A reliable donation system expects more donors and investors since a sustainable and reliable approach is always a milestone. The primary purpose of developing this system is to attract donors to bring down the COVID-19 pandemic by providing a faithful donation system.
