🛡️ ChainBoard

A Trust-Centric Web3 Project Governance Platform

Where accountability isn't a promise, it's on the blockchain.

ChainBoard is a Web3-native project governance and collaboration platform that brings transparency, verifiability, and accountability to distributed team management. Built on Ethereum blockchain with AI-powered intelligence, ChainBoard ensures every task, decision, and milestone is traceable, verifiable, and trustworthy.

For security and IP protection, the full production code is currently hosted privately. This repository demonstrates the project structure and documentation.

🌟 The Problem

In the era of distributed work, DAOs, remote teams, and cross-organizational projects:

• Progress is opaque - Hard to verify what's actually done
• Reports can be manipulated - No immutable audit trail
• Decisions lack accountability - No cryptographic proof of governance
• Reputation is platform-locked - Contributions don't transfer across ecosystems

Traditional project management tools (ClickUp, Asana, Monday) work well for tasks, but fail at verifiable accountability.

---

💡 The Solution

ChainBoard transforms project management into digital trust infrastructure:

✅ Every task completion → On-chain proof of contribution (NFT)
✅ Every milestone → Cryptographically verified and timestamped
✅ Every team member → Builds portable, verifiable reputation
✅ Every governance decision → Immutable audit trail on blockchain

Think of it as ClickUp meets blockchain accountability - where transparency isn't a feature, it's guaranteed by code.

🎯 Key Features

🧩 Trust-Based Task Management

Kanban-style project boards (To Do, In Progress, Done) enhanced with blockchain verification. Every completed task generates an immutable contribution record.

🏆 Proof of Contribution

NFT-based achievement system that creates verifiable, portable reputation. Each contribution is minted as an ERC-721 token on Ethereum Sepolia testnet.

📊 Governance Dashboard

Real-time trust metrics including:

• Transparency Score - Activity visibility percentage
• Accountability Rate - Task completion tracking
• On-Chain Verification - Blockchain-verified work percentage

🤝 Decentralized Collaboration

Real-time team collaboration designed for:

• DAO governance and treasury management
• Distributed research teams
• ESG & sustainability initiatives
• Cross-organizational projects

🎥 Integrated Video Conferencing

Built-in Jitsi Meet integration for governance meetings directly within the platform. No external dependencies.

🧠 AI-Powered Intelligence

AI-assisted features including:

• Automatic meeting summarization
• Project progress analysis
• Risk and delay insights
• Smart task suggestions

🔔 Intelligent Notifications

Context-aware notifications for deadlines, status changes, and critical project activities.

🔐 Web3 Authentication

Sign-In with Ethereum (SIWE) for wallet-based identity and authentication.

🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+ installed
• MetaMask or compatible Web3 wallet
• Ethereum Sepolia testnet ETH (for NFT minting)

Installation

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/mrbrightsides/chainboard.git
cd chainboard

# Install dependencies
npm install
# or
pnpm install

# Run development server
npm run dev
# or
pnpm dev

Open http://localhost:3000 to see the application.

Environment Setup

Create a .env.local file (optional - for AI features):

OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_key_here

Note: The app works fully without AI features. They're optional enhancements.

📱 How It Works

1. Connect Your Wallet

Sign in with Ethereum using SIWE - your wallet is your identity.

2. Create & Manage Projects

Organize work with Kanban boards, assign tasks, set priorities and deadlines.

3. Complete Tasks

Move tasks to "Done" to trigger automatic NFT minting as proof of contribution.

4. Build Trust Score

Every verified contribution increases your on-chain trust score and reputation.

5. Verify On-Chain

All contribution records are independently verifiable on Ethereum Sepolia explorer.

🎯 Philosophy

"Technology must not only work, but be worthy of trust."

We believe that the future of work isn't just about speed—it's about fairness, honesty, and accountability. ChainBoard is built on the principle that collaboration should be transparent, decisions should be verifiable, and progress should be trustworthy.

Because when trust is provable, not promised, everything changes.
