Abstract

Halal product is mandatory for Muslims and a big business for Indonesia. To obtain a halal certificate, the product owner must submit an application and undergo several processes. However, there are challenges in the certification process. The study investigates the utilization of blockchain to manage the process and the integration of decentralized storage (IPFS) to store the digital version of the fatwa and certificate. A smart contract is designed and deployed on the Ethereum blockchain, and the transaction time and cost are analyzed. A smart contract enforce certain actions are executed once the required conditions are fulfilled. The proposed system would cost 24.6 USD and require 227 seconds on average for the system setup. For each submission, it requires costs 9.86 USD and takes 92 seconds on average. Verification is free, and the average result can be obtained in one second. The appointed officer sets each entity interacting with the contract, and the digital documents (fatwa and certificate) are available online using IPFS. Progress of the certification is transparent to the public, increasing the public's trust. The study demonstrates a smart contract's capability to manage a product's certification process.
