The problem Zwaard solves

Crimes against women, including physical and sexual violence, are a widespread problem that affects women of all ages and backgrounds. Many of these crimes go unreported because women feel the fear of retribution, shame or stigma.

Zwaard is a safe space for these women, where they can report a crime as a victim or a witness while maintaining complete anonymity.

Built on blockchain technology using polygon ID this website allows people to report a crime which is unalterable and doesn't reveal their details to anyone.

Challenges we ran into

It was difficult to compile the contract as hardhat threw errors of missing dependencies like mocha .

Polygon ID is not fully developed, since Polygon ID cannot set up number variable for data schema, we had to implement a very baisc authentication schema.
Making gasless transactions was a difficult challenge because of incomplete documentation of biconomy sdk
Uploading files to ipfs was also very difficult to understand, we firstly used web3.storage but due to further difficulties in documentation, had to make a shift to lighthouse SDK
