The rapid evolution of network technologies has necessitated the development of advanced security mechanisms to protect against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats. Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) have emerged as a critical component in safeguarding network infrastructures. However, traditional IDS face challenges such as single points of failure, lack of transparency, and vulnerability to tampering. This paper proposes a novel approach to enhance IDS by leveraging blockchain technology. By integrating blockchain, we aim to create a decentralized, tamper-proof, and transparent IDS framework that can significantly improve network security. The proposed system utilizes smart contracts to automate threat detection and response, ensuring real-time protection against intrusions. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the blockchain-enhanced IDS in detecting and mitigating various types of network attacks, highlighting its potential as a robust solution for advanced network security.
