Abstract
The centralization of astronomical data repositories poses significant challenges to data accessibility, consistency, and real-time research. This work introduces a decentralized framework that utilizes blockchain technology and smart contracts to transform the way astronomical data is stored, retrieved, and shared. By integrating decentralized application architectures with established astronomical data protocols, this research establishes a foundational layer that promotes enhanced data redundancy, resilience, and scalability, thereby addressing critical limitations inherent in traditional centralized systems.
