Abstract-Detecting fake news as well as recognizing reliable sources of information has become a major issue of conversation inside the news industry and on social media. In the digital age, anybody may create or modify digital content with ease, then post it on social media platforms. These social networking sites facilitate contact in modern times, but they have also created novel challenges regarding their practical use, such as the fraudulent dissemination of deceptive or faux data by contagious channels. This research proposes a primitive blockchain and watermarking-based social media infrastructure to curb the spread of false information. We propose a novel blockchain paradigm to address current issues in this area. Furthermore, by identifying the source of the false information on social media, the innovative approach can aid in slowing its dissemination. Our test findings show our based on the blockchain approach is capable of sending documents instantly over a bloXroute server, which can spread data up to 100 times quicker than traditional solutions.
