Overview

PIERD is a platform that addresses the following challenges:

1. Refugees and displaced persons often lack a reliable personal identity system.
2. Inefficient distribution of resources and support to those in need.

PIERD uses blockchain technology to create a secure, efficient, and transparent system for managing personal identities and resource distribution.

Problem Statement

1. Refugees and displaced persons often lack a reliable personal identity system.
2. Inefficient distribution of resources and support to those in need.

Solution

PIERD addresses these challenges by:

1. Registering refugees and displaced persons on the platform using biometric authentication (e.g., face scan).
2. Issuing digital tokens to refugees and displaced persons, which can be used to access resources and support.
3. Using blockchain technology to maintain secure and transparent records of personal identities and resource distribution.
4. Allowing organizations to directly send tokens to refugees and displaced persons without going through intermediaries.
5. Enabling individuals to donate directly to refugees and displaced persons using the platform.

Technical Architecture

PIERD uses the following technologies:

1. Blockchain: To ensure secure and transparent management of personal identities and resource distribution.
2. Biometric authentication: To register refugees and displaced persons on the platform.
3. Digital wallet: To store digital tokens for refugees and displaced persons.
4. Smart contracts: To automate resource distribution and token management.

Usage

1. Refugees and displaced persons register on the platform using biometric authentication.
2. Organizations send tokens to registered refugees and displaced persons.
3. Refugees and displaced persons use their digital tokens to access resources and support.
4. Individuals can donate directly to refugees and displaced persons using the platform.

Blockchain Codes

To perform testing of the smart contract, use the following commands:

• yarn hardhat test: Run tests on the local Hardhat network
• yarn hardhat test --network sepolia: Run tests on the Sepolia testnet
• yarn hardhat coverage: Generate a coverage report

To run a local Hardhat blockchain network, use the command yarn hardhat node. To deploy the PIERD smart contract on the Sepolia testnet, use the command yarn hardhat deploy --network sepolia.

Note

Make sure to replace PIERD with the actual name of your smart contract and update the deployments.js file with the correct network configuration.
