A Decentralised Videoconferencing Service using Ethereum Smart Contracts

Abstract

This paper introduces a novel decentralised video-conferencing service utilising Ethereum smart contracts to manage resource allocation and booking processes. The proposed system leverages underutilised server resources, particularly during off-peak hours, to enhance operational efficiency through a decentralised resource allocation model. By integrating blockchain technology, the service ensures transparency, security, and independence from centralised control, with each booking is encrypted and verified by a distributed network.
