Abstract
The rapid proliferation of ride-sharing services has transformed the landscape of modern transportation, offering unparalleled convenience and accessibility. However, the centralized nature of existing platforms exposes users to inherent vulnerabilities, including data breaches, fraudulent activities, and disputes over transactions. This study advocates for the integration of blockchain technology to fortify the security framework of ride-sharing services. By leveraging blockchain's decentralized ledger and cryptographic protocols, this approach ensures transparent, immutable, and tamper-resistant record-keeping. The implementation of smart contracts further enhances trust and accountability, addressing critical concerns surrounding payment processing, identity verification, and dispute resolution. Through a comprehensive analysis of potential threats and the corresponding blockchain-based solutions, this research underscores the imperative of adopting this innovative paradigm to safeguard the integrity and trustworthiness of ride-sharing services in the digital age.
