To counteract the emerging difficulties regarding user authentication details, falsehoods, and the facilitated spread of deceptive messages, this project proposes a blockchain-based social media platform. Many existing centralized systems are susceptible to identity theft and cyberattacks, and they also allow the widespread creation of false profiles that promote misleading content. Moreover, these systems can damage an online business's standing and trigger financial downturns. This project aims to improve user authentication, enhance security, and prevent online harassment. The blockchain model, in conjunction with the Verhoeff algorithm, evaluates relevant metrics to effectively distinguish between real and fake accounts. This project collects user data associated with Aadhaar credentials and then generates a token key and a secret key for secure authentication by using Verifiable Token Identity Algorithm (VTIA). Thus the secret key acts as a public key, shown on the user's personal profile, and the token key is sent to the registered email ID. The success of this model is completely dependent on the quality of detection over time and the token ID remains permanent for future authentication and creating another account. Furthermore, this system also provides a transparent and secure social media experience.
