A Smart Contract-Based Decentralised Crowdfunding Platform for Increased Security and Transparency

In the contemporary landscape of financial systems and digital innovations, the convergence of blockchain technology and crowdfunding models has unveiled a promising avenue for revolutionizing traditional fundraising platforms. This research paper delves into the intricate fabric of designing and implementing a robust crowdfunding platform underpinned by the decentralized principles of blockchain technology integrated with Artificial Intelligence. The research embarks on an in-depth exploration of the underlying mechanics of blockchain, elucidating its distributed consensus, immutability, and transparency features. A comprehensive survey of existing literature pertaining to crowdfunding and blockchain integration is presented, establishing a solid foundation for the proposed platform's development. The conceptual framework delineates the architectural blueprint of the decentralized crowdfunding platform, intricately woven with smart contracts, artificial intelligence, cryptographic protocols, and a personalized recommendation system. The amalgamation of these components engenders an environment that ensures trust, security, and automation throughout the crowdfunding lifecycle. Moreover, this paper delves into the pivotal aspect of tokenization within the blockchain-based crowdfunding ecosystem. By implementing these cases against theoretical frameworks, the paper elucidates a comprehensive set of best practices and potential pitfalls that can guide the development and deployment of a successful blockchain-based crowdfunding platform.
