In this era of data, it is essential to develop a mechanism to facilitate people to exchange data with each other. However, sharing data among different party could become an impossible task due to the risk of security concerns. Currently data sharing occurs with the help of a trusted third party which acts as a mediator between the two parties but having a third party risks the security and transparency between the two parties. So, in this paper we try to propose a method which is de-centralized, secure and fast which can help us to deal with all the limitations we currently face in data sharing technology. To establish a decentralized connection between the two parties we make use of blockchain technology and add several encryptions to the data to make it nearly impossible for the hackers to decode and tamper with the data. Hence in this paper we will be trying to highlight the importance of blockchain in the field of data sharing thus allowing us to build a safe pathway for exchanging data among peers.
