BhartiyaKanoon

Inspiration

The inspiration for the project "Bhartiya Kanoon" are the challenges in traditional record keeping system, vulnerability to legal document tampering, security gaps, and an inadequate access management system. Lack of transparency erodes trust, while paper-based methods inflate costs and reduce case management efficiency. Complex legal jargon confuses non-legal individuals, and lengthy legal documents are difficult and time-consuming to read.

What it does

It is an integrated platform that combines a blockchain-based e-vault for secure legal records and an AI-powered legal documentation assistant. The blockchain-powered e-vault ensures the utmost security of legal documents, utilizing Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) for authentication and decentralized storage for tamper-proof records. This guarantees data integrity and prevents unauthorized access, addressing the concerns about document security. Simultaneously, our AI-powered legal documentation assistant streamlines document management by automating organization, employing Optical Character Recognition (OCR) for text extraction, and generating multilingual summaries through machine learning. We are also empowering users with smart contracts, granular access control, and a user-friendly interface, facilitating seamless integration with traditional legal systems. Our monetization strategies include client-based compensation models, subscription plans, and a legal professional marketplace.

How we built it

Embarking on innovation, our project harnesses the power of a dynamic tech stack, seamlessly weaving together MERN, Solidity, Ethereum, Keras, and Polygon. The frontend, a masterpiece in ReactJS, harmonizes with the robust NodeJS and ExpressJS backend, securely storing data in MongoDB. Blockchain technology forms the backbone, fortifying the record storage system with unwavering trust. Deploying on the Polygon network adds a layer of efficiency, while NFTs bloom in the IPFS server. Every record is a treasure, safeguarded by the intricate tapestry of IPFS and RSA encryption.

Challenges we ran into

Dealt with MetaMask bugs, such as "nonce too high" errors. Resolved issues related to payable transactions in Solidity. Overcame unexpected errors in Hardhat, requiring extensive documentation research.
