Each card tap generates a cryptographic hash chain stored immutably in EEPROM, making every access event timestamped, tamper-evident, and fully verifiable — a true blockchain-inspired surveillance tool.

It reads RFID cards, activates a solenoid lock, displays status on an OLED screen, and logs every event to a microSD card. The core innovation: an append-only hash chain in EEPROM that the ESP32 verifies at boot — any tampering is immediately flagged.
