The Contracts

Until reaching the setting time, deployer can't get the asset back.

How to deploy

npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.ts

Contract - Election

Main Function

The deployer can initiate an election, setting the fundamental parameters such as the basic asset, the duration for voting, and the time for tallying the votes.

Additionally, the deployer can define a minimum vote threshold, and candidates need to accumulate votes exceeding this threshold to have their margin deposit refunded.

• Before the Voting

Any individual can register as a candidate, which requires a margin deposit. Candidates also have the ability to modify their information, including their name and manifesto.

• During the Voting

Any participant can cast one vote for a candidate, and all votes carry equal weight.

• Vote Tallying

The election results will be revealed after the voting period.

If a candidate accumulates a vote count exceeding the set minimum threshold, the contract will refund their margin deposit.

• Administrative Control

The contract includes an administrative feature where a designated admin, in addition to the deployer, can manage the contract.

The admin has the authority to pause the contract's functionality. This feature is crucial in cases where potential vulnerabilities or issues in the contract are identified, allowing for the contract's operations to be halted to prevent further complications.

• Anytime Access

Any user can access the information of all the candidates, including their addresses, names, and manifestos.

It is also possible to search for specific candidate information by name or address.

How to deploy

npx hardhat run scripts/election/deploy.ts

Contract - Crowdfunding

Main Function

The deployer has the capability to establish a crowdfunding platform.

Proposers can submit proposals, and the contract will create a new contract for each proposal.

• Platform

Proposers can submit their proposals to the platform, which will generate a dedicated contract for each proposal.

Proposers can activate the contract through the platform.

Proposers can also update their personal information for sponsors to view.

• Proposers

Proposers have the ability to modify the details of their contracts.

The contract will autonomously manage assets based on their type and the predefined rules.

• Sponsors

Sponsors can access and review the contract (proposal) information and support the project.
