Due to the unique atmospheric conditions on Mars, the management of essential information in Mars buildings is of great importance. Even the smallest error or manipulation of data can create irreparable risks for residents. Martian buildings require a strong security shield to ensure accurate and unaltered data processing. In this article, the factors affecting the buildings of Mars and the lives of the inhabitants of Mars were identified and analyzed, and seven key factors were identified. These factors were then integrated into Mars building information systems using blockchain technology, defining four distinct alert levels for specific building conditions. This research is based on the simulation of Martian buildings, and there has been no laboratory case to test the proposed method until now. The findings showed that the proposed framework for Martian buildings was better than similar studies based on Earth, and there was no similar case to compare the results in Martian buildings. The ground-breaking integration of blockchain and building information modeling (BIM) on Mars opens up new opportunities for extraterrestrial building control methods and marks the beginning of the evolution of this field, but given that there is still no construction in the field of buildings on Mars, organizations and bodies that work in this field can use the results of this research to check the compatibility of the proposed method with Martian buildings.
