Our project aims to develop a blockchain-powered smart contract system to streamline billing and payment processes in the utilities sector. By leveraging smart contracts, utility companies can automate billing, ensure transparency, and provide secure, traceable transactions for their customers.

📋Project Details

This project focuses on the development of a smart contract system using blockchain technology to improve billing and payment processes for SME utility companies. The system will use Solidity for smart contract development and integrate with Web3.js and Ethers.js for blockchain interaction. By utilizing IPFS and Chainlink, the system will ensure data integrity and real-time data feeds. The implementation will be built on the Polygon network to ensure lower transaction costs and scalability. The solution will be integrated with MetaMask for ease of use by end customers. This project addresses the common challenges of manual billing errors, payment delays, and lack of transparency in billing. By automating the process, the utility company will reduce operational costs, improve customer satisfaction, and increase revenue collection efficiency.
