Architecture

System Architecture Overview

The architecture of BRIJ is designed to facilitate seamless interactions between startups, investors, and community members while ensuring security, scalability, and reliability. The platform is built on a decentralized framework that leverages blockchain technology, enabling transparent transactions and data management.

Components

1. Frontend

   • User Interface (UI): The frontend is designed to deliver an intuitive and user-friendly experience for all users, including startups, investors, and community members. It leverages modern web technologies such as React, Tailwind CSS, Vanilla CSS, and libraries like Fast React Marquee, Slick Slider, AOS, Framer Motion, and GSAP to ensure responsiveness and seamless interactions.

   • Wallet Integration: The platform supports various cryptocurrency wallets, such as the Sui Wallet, allowing users to interact securely and manage their funds with ease.

2. Backend

   • Server: The backend server handles all application logic, user authentication, and data processing. It is built using scalable frameworks such as Node.js, Express, socket.io to support high traffic and ensure fast response times.

   • Database: A secure and scalable database (e.g., MongoDB, Mongoose) stores user data, project details, funding records, and community interactions. Data is encrypted to ensure user privacy and security.

3. Smart Contracts

   • Token Contracts: Smart contracts govern the creation, distribution, and management of tokens used in the ICO/IDO system. They ensure automated and secure transactions without the need for intermediaries.

   • Crowdfunding Contracts: These contracts facilitate the crowdfunding process, managing funds raised, tracking backer contributions, and ensuring compliance with project milestones.

   • Grant and Competition Contracts: Smart contracts for grants and competitions handle submissions, evaluations, and disbursement of funds to winning projects.

4. Blockchain Layer

   • Decentralized Ledger: All transactions are recorded on a blockchain (e.g., Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain) to ensure immutability, transparency, and security. This decentralized approach builds trust among users and stakeholders.

   • Interoperability: The architecture supports interoperability with other blockchain networks, allowing seamless integration with various DeFi protocols and expanding funding opportunities.

Technology Stack

• Frontend: React.js, Vue.js, HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript

• Backend: Node.js, Express.js, GraphQL

• Database: PostgreSQL, MongoDB

• Blockchain: Sui Move (to write the smart contract Sui mysten dapp-kit sdk: for smartcontract integration)

• Hosting: Cloud services (e.g., AWS, Google Cloud) for scalable infrastructure

Security Measures

• Data Encryption: All sensitive data is encrypted both in transit and at rest to protect user information.

• Smart Contract Audits: Regular audits are conducted on smart contracts to identify and mitigate vulnerabilities.

• User Authentication: Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is implemented for user accounts to enhance security.
