What

Functionally, the app has several key features:

• Smart Contracts -- Where funded issues are stored and indexed.
• Brochureware -- Describes the project.
• Funded Issue Explorer -- A searchable index of all of the work available in the system.
• Funded Issue Submission / Acceptance flow -- Interface between the application and web3.
• API - the HTTPS API
• Bot - the GitcoinBot

More about how/why to interact with web3 here.

Technically, the system is architected:

• Web3 The main source of truth for the system is the Ethereum blockchain. Check out the smart contracts.
• Web2 This part of the app is built with Python, Django, Postgres, and a handful of other tools that are common in the web2 ecosystem.
• Web 3 Bridge This is the bridge between web3 and the rest of the application. Mostly built in javascript(web3js) and python(web3py).
• Brochureware Just a nice little landing page telling folks what the Gitcoin project is.
