================================================================================
1. WHAT IS CHAINFAIR?
================================================================================
ChainFair is a decentralized application (DApp) that brings radical transparency
to agricultural supply chains in India. When a consumer picks up a mango at a
store in Mumbai, they have no idea how much of the ₹200 price actually reached
the farmer in Jabalpur who grew it.
ChainFair solves this by recording every step of the supply chain—from farm to
store—on the Polygon blockchain. Each QR code on a product, when scanned,
instantly reveals the full profit split across all actors: farmer, wholesaler,
retailer, and store.
The project includes:
- A Solidity smart contract (the "single source of truth")
- A React Native mobile app for consumers to scan QR codes
- A Next.js admin dashboard for farmers and retailers to register stages
- A standalone web viewer for browser-based demos
- IPFS integration for storing farm photos and certifications off-chain
================================================================================
2. THE PROBLEM WE SOLVE
================================================================================
India has 600+ million people dependent on agriculture, yet:
- Farmers receive only 10-15% of the final consumer price
- 3-4 middlemen each take 15-30% margins
- Consumers have no way to verify "fair trade" claims
- Farmers have no bargaining power because they can't see market prices
EXAMPLE (Jabalpur Mango):
Farm (Jabalpur) → Farmer earns: ₹20
Wholesaler (Local) → Sold at: ₹60 (+₹40 markup)
Retailer (City) → Sold at: ₹120 (+₹60 markup)
Store (Consumer) → Final Price: ₹200 (+₹80 markup)
The farmer gets just 10% of the final price, but has no visibility into why.
ChainFair puts that data on an immutable blockchain and makes it scannable.
================================================================================
3. CORE PROJECT PHILOSOPHY
================================================================================
- IMMUTABILITY: Once recorded on blockchain, no one can alter stage data.
- TRANSPARENCY: Every consumer can see every rupee's journey.
- EDUCATION: Showing data is not enough; we explain WHY it is this way.
- ACCESSIBILITY: Works on Expo (mobile), web browser, or Next.js dashboard.
- LOW COST: Uses Polygon Mumbai testnet (<$0.01 per transaction).
- PRIVACY-FIRST: Farmers opt-in; no personal data stored on-chain.

5. SMART CONTRACT (contracts/SupplyChain.sol)
================================================================================
Language: Solidity ^0.8.20
Network: Polygon Mumbai Testnet (supports local Hardhat node too)
--- DATA STRUCTURES ---
StageType (Enum):
- Farm (0), Wholesaler (1), Retailer (2), Store (3)
SupplyStage (Struct):
- stageType : Which stage (Farm/Wholesale/Retail/Store)
- actor : Ethereum address of the actor
- actorName : Human-readable name (e.g., "Jabalpur Wholesale Co.")
- profitShareBPS : Profit share in Basis Points (10000 = 100%)
- priceAtStage : Price in Wei at this stage (converted to INR for display)
- ipfsHash : Hash of IPFS-stored image/document
- timestamp : When this stage was recorded (block.timestamp)
- certificationHash: Hash of any certification document
- isVerified : Whether a trusted actor has verified this stage
ProductChain (Struct):
- productName : e.g., "Jabalpur Alphonso Mango"
- origin : e.g., "Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh"
- totalPrice : Current consumer price (updates with each stage)
- farmerPrice : Original price at farm (never changes)
- stages[] : Array of SupplyStage structs
- isComplete : Whether chain has been finalized
- createdAt : Timestamp of chain creation
--- KEY FUNCTIONS ---
authorizeActor(address, name):
- Only callable by an already-authorized actor
- Allows addition of new trusted participants (farmers, wholesalers, etc.)
createChain(productName, origin, farmerPrice, ipfsHash, certHash):
- Creates a new ProductChain entry
- Automatically adds the first "Farm" stage
- Returns a tokenId (used for QR codes and lookups)
- Sets initial profitShareBPS to 10000 (100%) for the farmer stage
addStage(tokenId, stageType, actorName, profitShareBPS, priceAtStage, ipfsHash, certHash):
- Adds a new stage to an existing chain
- Price must be >= previous stage price (supply chain prices only increase)
- profitShareBPS must be <= 10000
- The actual profit share for a stage means: that actor's MARGIN out of total
verifyStage(tokenId, stageIndex):
- Marks a stage as verified by a trusted actor
- Adds credibility to the supply chain record
completeChain(tokenId):
- Finalizes the chain, preventing further stage additions
- Emits ChainCompleted event with final consumer price
getChain(tokenId):
- Returns: productName, origin, totalPrice, farmerPrice, stageCount, isComplete, createdAt
getStage(tokenId, stageIndex):
- Returns all details of a specific stage in the chain
getFullChain(tokenId):
- Returns the entire ProductChain struct including all stages
getChainProfitSplit(tokenId):
- Returns arrays of profitShares and stageNames, plus totalPrice
- Used by the frontend to draw the pie chart
getFarmerShare(tokenId):
- Returns: farmerShareBPS, farmerAmountINR, totalAmountINR
- Gives a quick summary of how much the farmer got
--- EVENTS ---
ChainCreated(tokenId, productName, origin, farmerPrice)
- Fired when a new product is registered
StageAdded(tokenId, stageType, actor, profitShareBPS, priceAtStage)
- Fired every time a new middleman stage is added
ChainCompleted(tokenId, totalPrice)
- Fired when the chain is sealed
ActorAuthorized(actor, actorName)
- Fired when a new participant is given permission to write to the contract
StageVerified(tokenId, stageIndex)
- Fired when a stage is marked as trusted/verified
================================================================================
6. DEPLOYMENT SCRIPT (scripts/deploy.js)
================================================================================
Language: JavaScript (Node.js / Hardhat)
What it does when you run it:
1. Deploys the SupplyChain.sol contract to the chosen network
2. Prints the deployed contract address (SAVE THIS!)
3. Authorizes 3 demo actor addresses (wholesaler, retailer, store)
4. Creates 3 complete demo supply chains with all 4 stages each:
CHAIN 0 - Jabalpur Alphonso Mango:
Farm: ₹20 (Farmer Cooperative, Jabalpur)
Wholesale: ₹60 (Jabalpur Wholesale Co.)
Retail: ₹120 (City Mart Retail)
Store: ₹200 (Fresh Picks Store)
CHAIN 1 - Jabalpur Organic Tomato:
Farm: ₹15 (Local Farmers, Jabalpur)
Wholesale: ₹40 (Jabalpur Wholesale Co.)
Retail: ₹80 (City Mart Retail)
Store: ₹150 (Fresh Picks Store)
CHAIN 2 - Kashmir Premium Apple:
Farm: ₹50 (Kashmir Orchard)
Wholesale: ₹100 (Delhi Agricultural Market)
Retail: ₹150 (Premium Foods Ltd)
Store: ₹300 (Jabalpur Fresh Mart)
5. Marks all 3 chains as "complete"
6. If deployed on polygonMumbai, attempts Etherscan verification
How to run:
Local: npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network localhost
Mumbai: npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network polygonMumbai
================================================================================
7. SMART CONTRACT TESTS (test/SupplyChain.js)
================================================================================
Framework: Chai + Hardhat (ethers.js v6)
Test Suites & What They Test:
"Chain Creation":
- Verifies correct tokenId assignment (starts at 0)
- Verifies product name, origin, farmerPrice correctly stored
- Confirms stageCount = 1 after creation (the Farm stage)
"Stage Addition":
- Verifies adding a wholesaler stage updates totalPrice
- Verifies stageCount increments correctly
- Tests full 4-stage pipeline in sequence
- Tests that LOWER price in addStage() is correctly REJECTED
(prices can only increase along the supply chain)
"Profit Split Calculation":
- Builds a full Mango chain (₹20 -> ₹200)
- Calls getFarmerShare() and verifies farmer gets 10000 BPS
and the correct amounts in INR
"Chain Completion":
- Verifies completeChain() sets isComplete = true
"Access Control":
- Verifies unauthorized addresses CANNOT create chains (expect revert)
- Verifies authorized addresses CAN create chains (expect no revert)
"Events":
- Verifies ChainCreated event fires with correct arguments
- Verifies StageAdded event fires with correct actor address
How to run tests:
npx hardhat test
================================================================================
8. REACT NATIVE CONSUMER APP (frontend/app/App.js)
================================================================================
Framework: React Native + Expo SDK
Target: iOS, Android, and Web (via expo-start --web)
--- FEATURES ---
A) Language Toggle (English / Hindi):
- EN button: All text in English
- हि button: All text in Hindi
- Hindi translations include:
"चेनफेयर" (ChainFair)
"QR कोड स्कैन करें" (Scan QR Code)
"किसान का हिस्सा" (Farmer Share)
"आर्थिक अंतर्दृष्टि" (Economic Insight)
...and all other UI strings
B) QR Code Scanner (Mobile only):
- Uses expo-camera (CameraView) for live QR scanning
- Reads three QR formats:
chainfair://0 (deeplink format)
https://...?tokenId=0 (URL format)
0 (raw integer format)
- On scan, calls fetchChainData(tokenId)
- Shows animated scan area with green corner brackets
C) Blockchain Data Fetching:
- If MetaMask (window.ethereum) is available:
Uses ethers.BrowserProvider to connect
Calls getChain() and getStage() from the contract ABI
Converts Wei prices to INR (multiplied by 1000 for demo scaling)
- If MetaMask is NOT available (most web users):
Falls back to DEMO_CHAINS array with hardcoded local data
Allows demo even without wallet
D) Demo Mode (View Demo Data button):
- Shows a list of 3 pre-loaded demo products
- Users can tap any product to see the full supply chain view
- Works on web even without camera or MetaMask
- Bug fix: State management correctly routes from the web/permission
screen through to the demo selector and chain detail views
E) Chain Detail View (after scan or demo select):
- Product name and origin
- Farmer Share box: shows ₹ amount + percentage
- Consumer Price box: shows total price
- Arrow between the two for visual impact
F) Pie Chart (Profit Breakdown):
- Uses react-native-chart-kit PieChart
- 4 slices, color-coded:
Green = Farm/Farmer
Blue = Wholesaler
Orange = Retailer
Purple = Store
- Labeled with stage name + percentage
G) Supply Chain Stages List:
- Numbered list (1, 2, 3, 4) with colored circle icons
- Shows: Stage type, actor name, price at stage, share percentage
H) Economic Insight Card:
- Orange bordered card explaining WHY farmers get less
- Text adapts to selected language
I) UPI Tip Button:
- Purple button at the bottom: "Support Fair Trade"
- Subtext: "Tip the farmer directly via UPI"
- On press: Alert with demo UPI ID (farmer.jabalpur@upi)
- In production, this would open the UPI deep link for payment
J) Camera Permission Handling:
- Requests camera permission before scanning
- Shows a "Grant Permission" button if denied
- Falls back to demo mode if permission unavailable
--- CONFIGURATION ---
CONTRACT_ADDRESS: Set via EXPO_PUBLIC_CONTRACT_ADDRESS env var
or defaults to zero address (triggers demo mode)
IPFS_GATEWAY: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/ (for fetching stage images)
================================================================================

11. DEMO DATA & SUPPLY CHAIN EXAMPLES
================================================================================
All three demo chains are consistent across all components of the project:
CHAIN ID 0: Jabalpur Alphonso Mango
Farmer: Farmer Cooperative, Jabalpur ₹20 (10%)
Wholesaler: Jabalpur Wholesale ₹60 (20% margin)
Retailer: City Mart ₹120 (30% margin)
Store: Fresh Picks ₹200 (40% margin)
→ Farmer receives 10% of consumer price
CHAIN ID 1: Jabalpur Organic Tomato
Farmer: Local Farmers, Jabalpur ₹15 (10%)
Wholesaler: Jabalpur Wholesale ₹40 (17% margin)
Retailer: City Mart ₹80 (27% margin)

================================================================================
12. HOW TO RUN THE ENTIRE STACK
================================================================================
STEP 1 - Start Local Blockchain (Terminal 1)
cd f:\PLAYGROUND\project
npx hardhat node
(Keep this running. It starts a local Ethereum-like blockchain at port 8545)
STEP 2 - Deploy Contract + Demo Data (Terminal 2)
cd f:\PLAYGROUND\project
npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network localhost
*** COPY THE CONTRACT ADDRESS FROM OUTPUT ***
(e.g., "SupplyChain deployed to: 0x5FbDB2315678...")
STEP 3 - Update Contract Address (in 2 files)
File 1: f:\PLAYGROUND\project\dashboard\src\pages\index.js (line ~10)
File 2: f:\PLAYGROUND\project\frontend\app\App.js (line ~147)
Replace the placeholder with your copied address.
STEP 4 - Run Admin Dashboard (Terminal 3)
cd f:\PLAYGROUND\project\dashboard
npm run dev
Visit: http://localhost:3000
Connect MetaMask to Localhost 8545 (Chain ID: 31337)
STEP 5 - Run Consumer Mobile App (Terminal 4)
cd f:\PLAYGROUND\project\frontend\app
npx expo start
Press 'w' for web, or scan the Expo QR code with Expo Go on your phone
STEP 6 (Optional) - View Standalone Web Demo
Open: f:\PLAYGROUND\project\web-app\index.html in any browser
No setup needed. Click "View Demo Data" for instant demo.
STEP 7 (Optional) - Run Tests
cd f:\PLAYGROUND\project
npx hardhat test
================================================================================
13. HOW THE PIECES CONNECT (DATA FLOW)
================================================================================
ADMIN ADDING A PRODUCT (Dashboard → Blockchain):
1. Admin logs into dashboard, connects MetaMask
2. Fills in product name, origin, farmer price in "Upload" tab
3. Uploads image to IPFS (returns IPFS hash)
4. Clicks "Create Supply Chain"
5. Dashboard calls contract.createChain() with IPFS hash
6. MetaMask prompts for transaction signature
7. Transaction confirmed on Polygon Mumbai
8. Dashboard shows new entry in the "Chains" tab
CONSUMER SCANNING A PRODUCT (App → Blockchain):
1. Consumer opens the Expo app in a store
2. Camera scans QR code on produce label
3. App parses tokenId from QR data (e.g., chainfair://0 → tokenId=0)
4. App calls contract.getChain(0) to get product metadata
5. App calls contract.getStage(0, i) for each stage
6. App renders the pie chart and stage breakdown
7. Consumer taps "Support Fair Trade" to tip farmer via UPI
WITHOUT METAMASK (Demo Mode):
1. App detects no window.ethereum
2. Falls back to local DEMO_CHAINS array
3. All visualizations still work, just with hardcoded data
4. Works offline and without any blockchain setup
================================================================================
14. BLOCKCHAIN & IPFS INTEGRATION
================================================================================
BLOCKCHAIN (Polygon Mumbai Testnet):
- Why Polygon? Transactions cost < $0.01, ideal for frequent supply chain updates
- Why Mumbai? Free testnet MATIC available via faucets for development
- Hardhat is used for local development and testing
- ethers.js v6 is used for all contract interactions
- All prices stored in Wei (1 ether = 1000 INR in demo scaling)
IPFS (InterPlanetary File System):
- Off-chain storage of large files (farm photos, certifications)
- Only the IPFS hash (content identifier / CID) is stored on-chain
- This keeps contract storage costs low
- Images fetched via public IPFS gateway: https://ipfs.io/ipfs/{hash}
- Production would use Pinata or nft.storage for pinning
- Example CID: QmXoypizjW3WknFiJnKLwHCnL72vedxjQkDDP1mXWo6uco
QR CODE FORMAT:
The QR code on produce encodes the tokenId in one of three formats:
chainfair://0 (preferred deeplink format)
https://app.chainfair.io?tokenId=0 (web-compatible)
0 (raw integer, simplest format)
The app's QR scanner handles all three.
================================================================================
15. MULTILINGUAL SUPPORT (ENGLISH / HINDI)
================================================================================
Both the React Native app and the web viewer support English and Hindi.
The dashboard is English-only (intended for tech-savvy admin users).
Hindi translations cover all consumer-facing text in the mobile app:
- App title and subtitle
- All button labels
- Stage type names (Farm/Farmer → किसान, Wholesaler → थोक व्यापारी, etc.)
- Price labels and section headers
- The economic insight explanation paragraph
- UPI tip button text
How it works (App.js):
const [language, setLanguage] = useState('en');
const t = translations[language]; // Active translation object
<Text>{t.scanQR}</Text> // Renders in selected language
Language toggle is always visible in the top bar (EN | हि buttons).
================================================================================
16. SECURITY & ACCESS CONTROL
================================================================================
The contract uses a simple allowlist pattern:
- mapping(address => bool) public authorizedActors
- The deployer is automatically authorized in the constructor
- Only authorized addresses can: createChain, addStage, verifyStage, completeChain
- Unauthorized calls revert with "Not authorized"
- authorizeActor() can only be called by an already-authorized actor
Why not OpenZeppelin's Ownable?
- The multi-role design (farmers, wholesalers, retailers all need write access)
requires a flexible allowlist rather than a single owner pattern.
Ethical considerations:
- Farmer data is anonymized (only an Ethereum address is stored, not name/ID)
- Participation is opt-in (farmers must be authorized by a trusted party)
- Historical data is immutable—actors cannot modify past entries
================================================================================
17. GAS OPTIMIZATION
================================================================================
- Basis Points (BPS) are used for profit shares (uint256) instead of floats
- String data (names, IPFS hashes) stored in structs instead of mappings
where possible to minimize slot usage
- Events are used for logging (cheaper than additional storage)
- The contract avoids loops in expensive write functions
- getChainProfitSplit() loops internally but is a view function (no gas)
- Estimated cost per stage addition: ~8,000-12,000 gas (~$0.001 on Polygon)
================================================================================
18. HACKATHON CRITERIA ALIGNMENT
