Synopsis

Data quality is foundational for effective decision-making in modern organizations. In the era of big data, traditional data management systems are increasingly challenged by issues of data accuracy, integrity, and consistency. Blockchain technology offers a decentralized, tamper-resistant, and transparent architecture that has the potential to transform how data is stored, verified, and maintained. This paper proposes a comprehensive framework for improving data quality using blockchain. The framework addresses key dimensions of data quality and demonstrates how blockchain-based architectures can ensure immutability, auditability, and consistency across distributed environments. Through a detailed analysis of existing literature and frameworks, this study outlines practical models and identifies potential limitations and research gaps, providing a roadmap for future implementations
