Abstract

Most websites’ accurate rating systems provide users with product and service ratings. User satisfaction has suffered as a result of a lack of faith and the manipulation of data. Because it communicates with existing accurate rating systems, all score statistics are saved on a central server. As a result, the manager has the ability to remove, all rating data that must be modified and manipulated in order to sway positive feedback on the service or product provider. As a solution to all of the shortcomings of current systems, an accurate rating system based on distributed ledger technologies is proposed in this chapter. Decentralized distributed ledger, with no institution attempting to centralize them. Distributed ledger technologies come in a variety of flavours. Blockchain technology Because it supports smart contracts, it was used in the proposed rating system. The Ethereum platform became selected from among numerous blockchain systems with a public permission network for the proposed accurate rating system. Raters are not permitted to rate in this system unless they make a request to the gadget are permitted to participate in the correct product score process. The Ethereum platform is notable for its smart contract support, which is to be used to create Solidity’s rating contract. The TestNet blockchain, on the other hand, can be used in the rating system. Due to the high cost of this method. The proposed rating system was then tested.
