Abstract

Blockchain technology is growing very rapidly, not only in the field of cryptocurrency transactions but also in other fields such as health care services, service companies, manufacturing. Smart contracts are a series of instruction codes, which automatically verify, execute, and tamper with. With the integration of blockchain technology, it can perform tasks in real time with a high level of security. In this study, we built a smart contract model based on online haggling in determining the purchase of a product. Buyers and sellers haggle with each other for the products they want via online the seller web app. Finally, we propose a smart contract design model using online haggling, which can help provide decision-making in determining the appropriate price from the seller and buyer agreement.
