Because they depend on centralized infrastructures, which introduce sole points of failure an‎d major hazards pertaining to citizen privacy an‎d data integrity, classic e-government systems are becoming more an‎d more weak. Integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) adds even more difficulties as urban settings change into data-intensive smart cities by bringing in great quantities of sensitive information from resource-restricted devices. To create a decentralized an‎d resilient governance structure, this study suggests a secure, layered data transfer system integrating blockchain technology an‎d the IoT. Using a consortium blockchain topology namely, the modular Hyperledger Fabric architecture the system guarantees administrative control while getting rid of centrally based weaknesses. To preserve tight confidentiality an‎d enable selec‎tive data disclosure, the system uses cuttingedge cryptographic methods including Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP) an‎d policy-hiding Attribute-Based Encryption (ABE). The system combines edge computing for local processing an‎d the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) for effective off-chain storage to solve performance bottlenecks an‎d scalability issues found in distributed ledgers. Moreover, using verifiable credentials an‎d decentralized identifiers (DIDs) moves identity management toward a selfsovereign model, hence strengthening user trust an‎d privacy. Decentralized resilience is shown to be crucial for preserving the public good in an increasingly linked digital environment; hence this study offers a conceptual an‎d practical basis for upcoming e-government systems.
