A Decentralized Marketplace with Self-Sovereign Identities for Telecommunication Services

Abstract

Blockchain technology has established itself as a decentralized solution capable of ensuring security, transparency, and robust process validation, profoundly transforming various sectors. This work proposes the development of an innovative marketplace for the telecommunications sector, based on blockchain, with the aim of providing a dynamic catalog of telecom services and assets. The platform enables asset and service providers to publish offers for physical resources-such as towers, antennas, and links-within an integrated market. These resources can be hired by third parties under Business-to-Business (B2B) and Business-to-Consumer (B2C) models. The architecture incorporates decentralized identity (DID), smart contracts for asset tokenization and automated billing, and a lightweight frontend. Built on Hyperledger Besu and integrated with Ethereum-compatible libraries, the system fosters digital governance, interoperability, and the sustainable use of underutilized physical assets.
