UI/UX Design: Designed an intuitive and modern user interface for all user roles (NGO, Verifier, Admin). Frontend Development: Built a responsive frontend using React, TypeScript, and Shadcn/UI. User Dashboards: Implemented dedicated dashboards for NGOs, Verifiers, and Administrators. Blockchain Integration: Integrated Solana wallet connectivity for transactions and authentication. AI Assistant: Developed an AI-powered chatbot using the Gemini API to guide users through project submission. MRV Components: Created UI components for the Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) workflow, including map comparators and data analysis tabs. Backend Setup: Established a Node.js/Express server to handle API requests for AI report generation and satellite data. Smart Contract Development: (In Progress) Designing on-chain programs for minting carbon credit NFTs. Full MRV Automation: (In Progress) Integrating satellite imagery analysis pipeline. 🛠️ Tech Stack

Frontend

Framework: React (with Vite) Language: TypeScript Styling: Tailwind CSS UI Components: Shadcn/UI Animation: Framer Motion Blockchain

Platform: Solana Wallet Integration: Solana Wallet-Adapter Backend & AI

Runtime: Node.js Framework: Express.js AI Model: Google Gemini API Automation: Playwright Database

Type: NoSQL (MongoDB) ✨ Key Features

Immutable Registry: All projects and carbon credits are recorded on the Solana blockchain, creating a tamper-proof and publicly verifiable audit trail. AI-Powered MRV: Automated analysis of satellite imagery provides scientific, unbiased verification of carbon sequestration and ecosystem health, reducing costs and manual effort. Role-Based Dashboards: Tailored user experiences for NGOs to submit projects, Verifiers to analyze evidence, and Admins to oversee the platform. AI-Guided Submission: An integrated chatbot assistant (VerifiAI) helps NGOs navigate the complex project submission process, reducing errors and improving data quality. Interactive Data Verification: An advanced workspace for verifiers with tools like a map comparator, document viewer, and AI analysis summaries to make informed decisions. On-Chain Transactions: Secure and transparent on-chain actions for key events, including airdrops for testing and future minting of carbon credits. 🚀 How to Run Locally

Prerequisites

Node.js (v18 or higher) npm or yarn A .env file in the root directory and in the backend directory. Setup

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/aryanraj45/blue-carbon-registry.git Navigate to the project directory:

cd blue-carbon-registry Install frontend dependencies:

npm install Navigate to the backend directory and install dependencies:

cd backend npm install cd .. Create Environment Files:

In the project's root directory, create a file named .env for the frontend: VITE_GEMINI_API_KEY=YOUR_GEMINI_API_KEY Inside the backend directory, create another file named .env for the server: MONGO_URI=YOUR_MONGODB_CONNECTION_STRING JWT_SECRET=YOUR_SUPER_SECRET_JWT_KEY Run the backend server:

npm run server (This command should be configured in your root package.json to run the backend server)

Run the frontend development server:

Open a new terminal in the same root directory. npm run dev Open the application:

Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:5173 (or the port specified in your terminal).
