The rapid advancement of blockchain technology and services based on blockchain applications inevitably faces the challenge of big data. To support the information and communication of smart crop production, the solution can be found in the implementation of blockchain technologies to provide services related to the acquisition, storage, processing and analysis of big data. The purpose of this paper is to present a web application for smart crop production data exchange platform integrated with Antelope blockchain and Interplanetary File System. The web application is designed using open-source solutions, enabling users to authenticate via a blockchain user account and corresponding private key, or via the standard blockchain wallet Anchor. The exchange of files and data, as well as the transfer of tokens between users, are facilitated through smart contracts. These contracts enable the tracking of chronological statements of completed transactions and provide an activity log overview of all file uploads, downloads, and edits. Future development phases include tests to evaluate the performance, speed, scalability and network security of the platform. The ultimate goal is for the web application to become a decentralized application (dApp).
