Adopting Blockchain for Enhancing Data Security and Privacy in Service-Based Digital Platforms: A Case Study of a Distributed Application (Dapp) Global Mission Services

This research aims to assess the viability of Blockchain technology for improving data security within service-based digital platforms. The methodology includes a literature review to identify blockchain trends and data security problems, surveys to assess possible platform use and user perceptions of online security, and the development of a digital platform prototype for Global Mission Services (GMS). Survey responses are compared statistically to determine user attitudes. The findings show that using the Blockchain-based distributed application (Dapp) platform improves data security significantly. There is significant interest in its implementation, particularly in light of growing concerns about online security. The GMS prototype demonstrates successful missionary service integration while overcoming accessibility barriers. These findings align with previous studies on Blockchain’s security benefits, underlining its importance in service-based digital platforms and shared economies. The study emphasises Blockchain’s potential in data security and proposes the Ethereum-based Dapp platform as a promising approach to improve security and stimulate greater adoption of service-based digital platforms.
