Adchain

Connecting brands with the perfect influencers through smart matching, real-time insights, and seamless collaboration.

Comment

Inspiration In today's digital age, marketing is shifting from big banner ads to people-driven influence. I noticed that while companies are looking for influencers, and influencers are looking for brand deals, there's no clean, intelligent, easy-to-use platform that connects both parties smartly. That’s where the idea of Adchain came in — a real-time ad-influencer matching system that just makes sense.

What it does Influencers and companies can sign up and create profiles.

Companies can post ads with category tags like fashion, fitness, tech, etc.

Influencers select their preferred categories.

When a match is found, ads instantly appear on the influencer's dashboard.

Influencers can accept the ad, submit proof, and everything is tracked.

Companies get real-time notifications of who accepted their ad.

Both dashboards are designed separately for smooth user flow.

Influencers can also connect their social accounts like YouTube and Instagram to fetch real-time subscriber/follower counts.

All of this was built using AI tools, especially Bolt AI, to speed up and optimize development.

How we built it Frontend: Built with React and Chakra UI for fast and responsive design.

Backend: Node.js and Express, built using Bolt AI to generate routes, authentication flows, and MongoDB models.

Database: MongoDB Atlas, connected using Mongoose. Bolt AI helped auto-generate schemas.

Authentication: JWT-based login/signup for both influencers and companies.
