Abstract This study focused on the design and development of a Blockchain-Integrated Alumni Tracer System with Social Media Engagement implemented in a public higher education institution in the Philippines. The research addressed persistent challenges related to limited alumni engagement, outdated alumni records, and the lack of a secure and transparent mechanism for tracking alumni donations. Existing alumni data collection methods relied heavily on manual processes and online forms, resulting in inefficiencies and reduced institutional connectivity with graduates. A developmental research approach was employed, beginning with a baseline needs assessment involving alumni and university administrators to identify existing problems and system requirements. The system was developed using the Agile Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and incorporated key features such as alumni profile management, social media-based authentication, centralized alumni data storage, and a blockchain-enabled donation tracking framework implemented through a private Ethereum network using Hyperledger Besu. System evaluation was conducted using criteria based on the ISO/IEC 25010 Software Product Quality Model, assessing functionality, reliability, usability, efficiency, maintainability, portability, and security. The results indicated that the system achieved an overall mean score of 4.38 (Excellent) across ISO/IEC 25010 quality dimensions. Moreover, both alumni and administrators demonstrated positive perceptions toward the integration of blockchain technology, citing its potential to enhance transparency, trust, and data integrity in donation management. The findings suggest that integrating social media and blockchain technologies into alumni tracer systems can effectively improve alumni engagement and institutional accountability in higher education institutions.
