Inspiration
Most startups and small companies struggle to grow in competitive markets. PeerLens was inspired by the need to provide a platform where companies can learn, grow, and understand their peers, creating a fair and interactive playground to compete and thrive.

How we built it
We built PeerLens using the Midnight Network and Compact files to ensure secure, verifiable data handling. Key features include:
- Storing hashes on Midnight to maintain data integrity.
- Verifying user identities and ensuring updated data.
