First Place Hackathon Winning Project at HackNYU 2025, Solana & Blockchain Innovation Track
The used car market faces fraud, price manipulation, and transparency issues. Our solution uses blockchain and NFTs to create a trustless, verifiable, and efficient marketplace.
- Immutable Ownership: Cars are minted as NFTs with secure ownership transfers.
- Transparent Pricing: Sales history stored on-chain prevents hidden fees.
- Dynamic Valuation: Real-time data adjusts car prices.
- Decentralized Storage: Service records stored on IPFS/Arweave.
- Web3 Integration: Accepts crypto payments via Solana Pay & USDC.
- NFT Car Ownership: Each car has an NFT with metadata like VIN, model, history, and ownership.
- Transparent Sales History: All sales are recorded on-chain, displaying past ownership, pricing trends, and vehicle details.
- Seamless Transactions: Crypto payments are processed with escrow smart contracts.
- Dynamic Price Updates: AI and oracles adjust car prices based on factors like mileage, history, and demand trends.
- Frontend: Next.js + TailwindCSS for a modern, responsive UI.
- Backend: Python FastAPI + MongoDB for storing car metadata, Node.js for NFT minting logic.
- Blockchain: Solana smart contracts written in Rust using Anchor for transaction management.
