🚀 Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v14+)
• Ganache CLI or Ganache GUI for native blokchain
• MetaMask browser extension for authorization
• IPFS for decentralized media storage

Setup

1. Install dependencies:

   npm install

2. Start Ganache:

   ./src/scripts/setup.sh

3. Deploy contracts:

   npx truffle migrate --reset --network development

4. Start frontend server:

   python3 -m http.server 3000

5. Access the application:

   • Main page: http://localhost:3000
   • Login: http://localhost:3000/src/auth/login-fixed.html

Test the System

node src/scripts/test_enhanced_system.js

🏗️ System Features

Core Functionality

• Multi-user System: Government Officers, Contractors, Verifiers
• Tender Management: Complete lifecycle from creation to completion
• Contract Management: Milestone-based project execution
• Verification System: Third-party verification with stakes

Enhanced Features

• Stake-based Security: Economic incentives for honest participation
• Public Transparency: Community monitoring and corruption reporting
• IPFS Integration: Immutable evidence and proof storage
• Encrypted Bidding: Secure bid submission with key-based decryption

🔗 Contract Addresses (Local Deployment)

Key contracts deployed on local Ganache:

• FactoryTender: 0xeea2Fc1D255Fd28aA15c6c2324Ad40B03267f9c5

Full contract list available in: web3/contracts.js

👥 User Roles

1. Government Officer

• Create and manage tenders
• Approve contractors
• Assign verifiers to contracts
• Monitor project progress

2. Contractor/Bidder

• Register with KYC information
• Submit bids on tenders
• Execute awarded contracts
• Report milestone completion

3. Verifier

• Register as professional verifier
• Verify contract milestones
• Stake tokens for verification
• Build reputation through accurate verification

📚 Documentation

Detailed documentation available in the docs/ directory:

• Enhanced Deployment Summary
• Backend Architecture
• MetaMask Setup Guide
• Project Analysis & Fixes

🔧 Development

Backend Development

The backend API is built with Node.js, Express, and MongoDB:

cd backend
npm install
npm run dev

Frontend Development

Modern dashboards are located in src/dashboards/. Each dashboard is a self-contained HTML file with embedded JavaScript and CSS.

Smart Contract Development

Contracts are in the contracts/ directory. After making changes:

npx truffle compile
npx truffle migrate --reset --network development

🛡️ Security Features

• Economic Security: Stake-based participation prevents malicious behavior
• Multi-party Verification: Multiple independent verifiers for milestone approval
• Transparent Operations: All actions recorded on blockchain
• IPFS Evidence Storage: Immutable proof and evidence storage

📞 Support

For issues and support:

1. Check the documentation in docs/
2. Review contract deployment status with test script
3. Verify Ganache connection and MetaMask setup
