IncoginiTip - Anonymous Blockchain based tipoff system

The problem IncoginiTip solves

IncogniTip allows individuals to submit crime tips without revealing their identity by using Ethereum’s Sepolia testnet and IPFS for secure, tamper-proof storage. It automates both reward and penalty actions through smart contracts — if a tip is verified, the system fetches the sender’s wallet directly from the blockchain and transfers ETH as a reward, without manual authority involvement. If flagged as false, the sender’s wallet is immediately and permanently blocked, eliminating repeat misuse. This creates a trustless environment where genuine reports are encouraged, and authorities save time by avoiding manual checks or reward handling.

Challenges we ran into

One major challenge we faced was securing sensitive tip data on a public blockchain without exposing the information to the world. Since blockchain is transparent by design, storing raw tip content would have compromised anonymity. We solved this by using AES-256 encryption for the tip data and storing only the encrypted hash (CID) on-chain, while the actual content was saved off-chain using IPFS.
