Invoice management is a major part of accounting in businesses both big and small. But all the existing software in this field lack in one aspect – transparency.

We attempt to solve this problem by moving the entire process to the blockchain and the world of Web3. When invoices are generated and maintained on the chain, they become a part of a detailed ledger which makes this process transparent like never before.

We also try to provide Web3 solutions for other problems in the field of accounting such as irregular payments and lack of credibility when working with new business partners.

Installation

Starting the backend server

Start a terminal in the server folder and install all the node modules by running yarn install.

    cd server
    yarn install

Now, run the command yarn hardhat node to start the server

    yarn hardhat node

Now import one of the accounts from the local blockchain server into your MetaMask wallet and copy the RPC URL. You can find it highlighted in green colour on the terminal.

    
    Started HTTP and WebSocket JSON-RPC server at http://127.0.0.1:8545 
    

Update the RPC URL and enter the chain id as 31337 in your meta mask wallet in localhost:8545 network

Import one of the accounts provided by the hardhat local node into your meta mask. After importing you should see 10,000 ETH added to your wallet in the localhost network

Our Website

Home Page

On opening the URL, you will be greeted by our home page.
Our home page features a prominent hero section with a 3D interactive model of our website’s mascot. We have sections dedicated to Web3 literacy where we inform our users how decentralisation of computing can help them maintain transparency in their transactions. To login, click on the CONNECT WALLET button on the top right and enter your name and PAN number on the prompt. This will be followed by a prompt from MetaMask which you have to approve.
Now, you will see your wallet address on the top right and you will be redirected to the Duckboard.

CREATE INVOICE

The invoice amount can be entered in any denomination you feel like – the platform converts it to ETH. You can choose to upload an appropriate proof of the transaction or auto-generate an invoice snapshot.
