The problem BrickChain solves

BrickChain addresses the shortcomings of traditional rental systems by introducing a decentralized platform that prioritizes transparency, fairness, and privacy. Traditional rentals often suffer from opacity, biased pricing, and inefficiencies, making it challenging for tenants to secure housing. BrickChain facilitates rental transactions between landlords and tenants through smart contracts on the blockchain, automates rental payments and security deposits using cryptocurrency or fiat currency, with options for recurring payments or one-time payments. BrickChain disrupts this status quo by implementing innovative solutions. Transparent Blockchain Technology underpins the platform, enabling transparent and auditable transactions, thus fostering trust between parties. Privacy-Focused Design minimizes the risk of data breaches, prioritizing user privacy. Inclusive Decentralization promotes inclusivity, eliminating biases in the rental process. The "Decentralize" component promotes a decentralized approach to rentals, removing intermediaries and reducing biases in the rental process. By integrating these principles, BrickChain sets new standards for fair and transparent rental marketplaces, reshaping the industry's landscape - because everyone deserves a fair shot at finding a home.

Challenges we ran into

Regulatory Compliance: Dealing with real-world assets like properties introduced regulatory complexities. Ensuring compliance with local laws and regulations regarding property rental agreements, taxation, and ownership transfer on a decentralized platform posed a significant challenge. Seeking legal counsel and collaborating with regulatory experts helped navigate this intricate landscape.

Oracle Integration: Reliable and decentralized oracles were needed to fetch real-world data, such as property details, rental prices, and occupancy status, and feed them into smart contracts. However, ensuring the accuracy and trustworthiness of oracles posed a challenge. Implementing mechanisms to verify data integrity and mitigate oracle manipulation was necessary to maintain the platform's credibility.

Smart Contract Deployment: Deploying smart contracts correctly is crucial for the functioning of any decentralized application (DApp). However, ensuring the accuracy of deployment, including proper initialization parameters and contract addresses, was challenging. Mistakes in deployment could lead to functionality errors or vulnerabilities in the platform. Implementing thorough testing procedures and utilizing tools like Truffle or Remix IDE helped mitigate deployment risks.

Transaction Management: Managing transactions efficiently while interacting with smart contracts through Ether.js and Web3.js was challenging, especially considering Ethereum's limitations in terms of transaction throughput and confirmation times.

Security Concerns: Integrating smart contracts with frontend applications introduced potential security vulnerabilities, such as cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks or contract re-entrancy exploits.
