SangrakshakX

AI-Powered Financial Literacy & Fraud Protection Ecosystem

Comment

Inspiration

Financial fraud, phishing, scam calls, and OTP theft have become extremely common—especially among people who don’t understand digital finance well. On the other side, students and working individuals often struggle with budgeting, tax understanding, and investment planning.

We realized:

People don’t just need financial knowledge, they also need fraud awareness and digital safety skills.

There are platforms for finance learning and platforms for cybersecurity, but not a single integrated solution that makes the user financially smarter and digitally safer. That’s where SangrakshakX (Web Platform) was born.

What it does

SangrakshakX is a web platform for Financial Literacy + Fraud Awareness with bot-protected security.

Users can: Learn budgeting, saving, investing & tax concepts.

Practice with virtual financial simulation (Virtual Box).

Face fraud scenarios like phishing, spam links, fake OTP requests.

Use calculators (EMI, SIP, Tax, Retirement).

Take quizzes and improve financial score.

Track improvement and risk behavior over time.

Meanwhile the platform: Detects & blocks bots using CDN-based protection.

Prevents fake sign-ups, credential stuffing & spam attacks.

Logs suspicious activities for admin visibility.

How we built it

Frontend: React / Next.js for UI & lesson modules

Backend: Node.js + Express for API handling

Database: MongoDB / PostgreSQL for user data & logs

Security Layer: CDN-based bot filtering + device fingerprinting

Simulation Engine: Custom logic for wallet, income, expenses & fraud events

Scoring System: score=smart decisions+scams identified−fraud losses

Challenges we ran into

Generating realistic scam messages/pages without exposing users to real harm.

Implementing bot detection that blocks attackers but keeps user experience smooth.

Designing virtual simulation logic for financial decision consequences.

Making financial topics simple for beginners but still informative.

Ensuring the system remains scalable and secure.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Built a working finance simulation with scam detection.

Integrated CDN-level bot protection into a learning platform.

Created an engaging fraud awareness + finance education system.

Designed a model that can realistically train users without real money involvement.

Made the platform multilingual-ready for wider impact.

What we learned

Real-world phishing and fraud mechanisms.

Secure web architecture & bot mitigation techniques.

How to simplify complex finance concepts for regular users.

UI/UX strategies for interactive education platforms.

Importance of combining tech + awareness + gamification.

What's next for SangrakshakX

AI-based fraud detection alerts & scam text classification.

More investment modules (mutual funds, FD, stocks).

Mobile version + offline learning support.

Leaderboards, badges & user community.

Partnering with schools/colleges for awareness programs.

Integration with bank-like dummy statements for training.

Our future vision : A complete digital safety & financial literacy ecosystem accessible to everyone.
