Pehchan
More than a third of the country is dissatisfied with the electoral process. We are here to change that.
The problem Pehchan solves
Introduction
Pehchan serves as a platform for the efficient and secure conduct of elections. The immutability and transparency of the blockchain ensure that the elections can be held fairly. People can now vote remotely with platform. It aids to the elimination of tampered EVMs, low turnout, and fraudulent voting. It places more trust and confidence in the Election Commission of India by giving it exclusive control.
Reasons
- Secure : With the implementation of blockchain, we are securing the identity of a voter is unique and is being used by the particular user.
- Transparent : All the information will be open to public at every step in the election process.
- Convenient : Application and vote tremotely from the comfort of their own homes.
- Extensive Support : The average user who doesn't know about blockchain is given the choice to do social sign-in. There is support for every network like Arcana, Polygon, Filecoin and Metamask
- Cost : The government has to spend a lot of money on every election conducted. With Pehchan the costs are greatly reduced by moving it online.
- Speed : All the transactions are seammlessly processed over the respective networks with Polygon as our main network because of its high through-put.
Challenges we ran into
- Determining how voters and candidates are specifically identified in the real world and incorporating the uniqueness into cryptocurrency wallets.
- Figuring out how the material of the customised asset of the 3JS works.
- Assessing the amount of data kept in a chain and striking a delicate balance between improved performance and more storage (use of loops to process data vs storing).
- To make blockchain more accessible to the general public so that everyone can vote comfortably.
- Arcana defaults to ethereum mainnet on login but our dashboard pages that used the injected address, but our contracts are on Polygon Mumbai. Alsp arcana doesn't maintain session persistence
