The problem RECreate solves

Problem It Solves

Fragmented REC Markets

Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) trading is currently slow, opaque, and dominated by intermediaries.
RECreate removes middlemen by putting the entire trade lifecycle directly on-chain, enabling transparent peer-to-peer trading.

No Fair Price Discovery

Buyers and sellers lack reliable signals to determine a fair REC price.
Our AI agents monitor live market feeds and dynamically suggest optimal pricing in real time.

Paperwork & Contract Complexity

Trade agreements between buyers and sellers are difficult to store, verify, and retrieve.
RECreate integrates Fileverse decentralized storage to store tamper-proof trade contracts.

Carbon Compliance Challenges

Companies pursuing sustainability targets struggle to track and prove their offset purchases.
RECreate provides a transparent and auditable trail linking every REC transaction to its carbon benefit.

Web3 Accessibility Issues

Most Web3 trading platforms are desktop-only, English-only, and inaccessible to many users.
RECreate introduces a mobile-first platform with:

• Gamified leaderboard
• Accessibility / blind mode
• Multilingual support

Challenges we ran into

Challenges We Ran Into

ENS Subdomain Registration

Dynamically registering ENS subdomains for each new buyer and seller required:

• Gas optimization
• Handling cases where subdomains were already claimed
• Managing failed or timed-out transactions during registration

AI Agent Price Calibration

Training the AI pricing agent was challenging. Early versions recommended prices that diverged too far from the market during low trading volume.

Solution:

• Introduced a rolling market average anchor
• Added deviation thresholds to cap unrealistic price recommendations

Fileverse Contract Integration

Linking on-chain REC tokens to off-chain contract documents stored in Fileverse required building a custom verification mapping layer.
This ensures the document hash can always be verified against the token ID.

Gamification Balance

Adding leaderboards and rewards risked making the platform feel less credible.
We iterated multiple times to ensure the experience remained engaging but professional.

Accessibility & Multilingual Implementation

Implementing accessibility and internationalization within the limited hackathon timeline was challenging.

Features implemented:

• Screen reader support
• High contrast UI
• ARIA labels
• Multilingual support using i18n
