Repository Structure

This project is organized as a monorepo:

• apps/web: The main frontend application (Next.js). Please read the Frontend Guidelines regarding styles and components before contributing.
• contracts: Smart contracts and blockchain logic.

Backend Architecture (Axum)

The backend is built using Rust and the Axum web framework, following a clean and modular architecture designed for scalability and maintainability.

Directory Overview

• routes/ – API route definitions and versioned endpoints
• handlers/ – Request handlers (controllers/business logic)
• models/ – Data models and domain structures
• utils/ – Shared helpers and utilities
• config/ – Environment and configuration management
• main.rs – Application entry point and server bootstrap
• lib.rs – Central module exports

This separation of concerns allows the backend to scale independently, supports clean testing, and keeps business logic isolated from routing and infrastructure code.
