ABSTRACT In this paper, we propose a new blockchain-based system to record and preserve data about the greatest Greek figures in history. It combines decentralized digital recordkeeping with historical data curation. This project introduces a blockchain-based system designed to digitally preserve the legacy of prominent historical Greek figures. By leveraging the immutability and transparency of blockchain technology, the system ensures that biographical and cultural data remains tamper-proof and permanently accessible. The solution includes: a) A Python-based blockchain storing curated data such as names, lifespans, fields of contribution, and accomplishments. b) Digital signatures via RSA encryption to verify the authenticity of entries. c) A Flask-powered web interface for users to interact with and explore the blockchain. d) Security measures such as cryptographic hashing and block integrity checks to maintain data validity. Educational institutions, researchers, and the general public can access the system to learn from and contribute to a growing, verified historical record. Future enhancements may include multimedia support via IPFS, smart contracts for voting or ranking historical figures, and decentralized identity for contributors. Ultimately, this project blends technology with cultural heritage to preserve the contributions of great Greeks for generations to come. |
