ABSTRACT
The newest technology for developing dApps for various use cases is
blockchain. All nodes in the decentralised network can see every transaction
made using blockchain technology. For the sake of security, most applications
were created and are currently being tested on the Ethereum blockchain
platform. With blockchain technology, the nodes in the distributed network
distribute all their data to the other nodes without ever changing it. The nodes’
transactions are trusted thanks to digital signatures. During this study, one can
use the Ethereum blockchain platform to create a decentralised web application
for e-commerce. The application is deployed using smart contracts developed in
the Solidity programming language, and the front-end and back-end processes
are described. These e-commerce-related details are all kept in blocks in the
blockchain. The decentralised network’s nodes will be able to trust the web
application for online purchasing. For data security and consumer ease, other
online retail platforms like Amazon are attempting to implement the blockchain.
For upcoming work, factors like storage, scalability, and others can be
considered.

DEFINITION
Blockchain: A distributed ledger technology that keeps a list of records that is
constantly expanding and connected through encryption.
Cryptocurrency: A digital or virtual money that runs without a central bank
and employs cryptography for security.
Smart Contract: Scripted on a blockchain, self-executing contracts take effect
when specific criteria are met.
x
Decentralized: A network that is maintained by several members rather than
being under the direction of a single body.
Traceability: A blockchain’s transaction history tracking feature that promotes
accountability and transparency.
Transparency: The ability to view and verify the details of a transaction or
process on a blockchain.
