In the rapidly changing technologies, blockchain is gaining traction for revolutionizing industries with its decentralized mechanism to transform traditional business processes. As the number of decentralized apps and associated threats increased, we introduced a security assessment framework for blockchain-based applications to detect security flaws in decentralized systems. The approach covers user access control, secure data handling, and ensuring the safety and reliability of data throughout its lifecycle. This framework boosts blockchain-based application security through best practices for APIs, consensus algorithms, and smart contract development. Supports security evaluations for the database and docker components, ensuring a complete approach to decentralized system security. It offers a security overview and empowers organizations to confidently adopt and develop blockchain-based Applications, enhancing trust and security in decentralized environments.
