The problem Flowweb solves

In the world of blockchain and smart contracts, developers face significant challenges in the creation, deployment, and management of contracts. These challenges include the complexity of manual coding, time-consuming processes, and fragmented contract management across different platforms and wallets. Flowweb is an innovative smart contract management dapp built on the Flow Blockchain that aims to address these challenges and revolutionize the way developers interact with smart contracts.

Flowweb offers a streamlined solution by leveraging the power of AI and providing a user-friendly interface. The traditional method of manually coding contracts is replaced by an AI-assisted approach. With Flowweb, developers can create contracts effortlessly by providing a simple prompt. The advanced GPT-3.0 technology then generates complete contract code, saving developers significant time and effort. This AI-powered contract creation feature allows developers, regardless of their coding expertise, to create robust and customized contracts with ease.

Once contracts are created, Flowweb simplifies the deployment process onto the Flow Blockchain. Developers can easily paste their Cadence contract code into the dapp and initiate the deployment process. This eliminates the need for complex manual configurations such as using CLI or different JS libraries and ensures a quick and efficient deployment experience. Flowweb streamlines the deployment process, making it accessible and user-friendly for developers of all levels of expertise.

Flowweb goes beyond contract deployment and offers comprehensive contract management capabilities. The integrated "Explorer" section serves as a centralized hub where developers can search their wallet address and gain a comprehensive overview of all their deployed contracts. This feature enables easy access and management of contracts, allowing developers to view, edit, redeploy, and interact with their contracts.

Challenges we ran into

While building Flowweb, we encountered several challenges that required creative problem-solving and perseverance. One of the primary challenges was training the ML model of GPT-3.0 to learn Cadence, the programming language used in the Flow Blockchain. Teaching the model to generate accurate and functional Cadence code was a complex task that demanded extensive fine-tuning and experimentation.

Another challenge we faced was integrating GPT-3.0 into the frontend of our application. We wanted to provide users with a seamless experience of generating contract code with AI assistance. However, integrating the AI model and displaying the generated code in a user-friendly manner posed a technical hurdle. We had to ensure that the code generated by the model was properly formatted and presented to the users, allowing them to easily understand and interact with it.

Additionally, we encountered difficulties when dealing with constructor arguments in the generated code. Constructor arguments play a crucial role in initializing smart contracts, and ensuring their correct implementation was essential. We invested time and effort in fine-tuning the ML model to generate code that accurately captured and handled constructor arguments.

Deployment of contracts on the Flow Blockchain using the FCL (Flow Client Library) also presented its own set of challenges. Configuring and connecting the frontend with the backend for smooth contract deployment required meticulous attention to detail. We had to overcome obstacles related to authentication, transaction handling, and error handling to ensure a robust and reliable deployment process.

Despite these challenges, our dedicated team worked tirelessly to overcome each hurdle along the way. We conducted thorough testing, collaborated closely with the Flow community, and sought guidance from experts to overcome these roadblocks.
