Abstract

This paper explores the potential use of blockchain technology to register drones. Using blockchain, a unique and tamper-proof identifier can be assigned to each drone, enabling real-time tracking, secure data exchange, and improved compliance with regulations and laws. This paper argues that integrating blockchain into drone registration can increase security, transparency, and efficiency.
