Abstract: This research proposes a decentralized courier tracking system using blockchain technol- ogy and smart contracts, aimed at enhancing transparency, trust, and security in logistics. The solution is implemented on the Volta blockchain and integrates MetaMask[3] to facilitate se- cure interactions between participants without relying on centralized intermediaries. The sys- tem automates shipment updates, maintains immutable tracking records, and protects sensitive data through cryptographic mechanisms. The implementation demonstrates improved trace- ability, operational efficiency, and stakeholder accountability. Performance evaluation indi- cates significant enhancements in security, cost-effectiveness, and scalability when compared to conventional courier tracking methods. The proposed system offers a robust alternative for modern supply chain management[6].
