Project

Global Blockchain Hackathon - Coding/Developer Team

• Identified problems:

- Organizations such as ICO, NGO, Churches, Kickstarters, and Crowdsourcing startups maintain their own secret ledgers of actual receivables and payments.

- Donators/Investors may never understand how the proceeds are being used.

- Without public scrutiny, proceeds and expenses have a very high degree of risk.

• Suggested solutions:

- By integrating bank records and storing data to a permissioned blockchain, Aud.it creates transparent records and real-time funds tractability of donations, expenses, and contracts with vendors, which removes the possibility of fraud and simplifies compliance regulations.

• Created an application that provides:

- Real-time transactions update, modular design, and payment auditing

- Monitoring and validation of transcations, blocks, and small constracts

- Notification of user non-compliance

- Permission based access using Hyperledger Fabric

- Supervision and validation of remediation

- Enforcement of consensus

Team Members: Yvonne Wang, Martin Huang, Randall Huynh, Joel Labelle

Front & Back End Developer

• Identified problems:

- EDM fanatics lack a unified tool to plan for EDM events.

- They often need to jump between multiple websites and apps to arrange different aspects of their trips.

• Solution:

- PLUR is a web App that offers an environment where people can:

- Coordinate events

- Arrange ticket purchase

- Plan for dining, prepare for the weather

- Share their love for all things EDM.

• APIs utilized:

- EDM Train API for events

- Yelp Fusion API for nearby restaurants

- OpenWeatherMap API for event weather

- Google Maps API for location-centric UI

Team Members: Cefi Menda, Sandy Yeung, Silu Hu
