RECreate
Decentralizing Energy (need of hour)
About
The problem it solves # Problem It Solves ## Fragmented REC Markets Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) trading is currently slow, opaque, and dominated by intermediaries. **RECreate** removes middlemen by putting the entire trade lifecycle directly on-chain, enabling transparent peer-to-peer trading. ## No Fair Price Discovery Buyers and sellers lack reliable signals to determine a fair REC price. Our **AI agents monitor live market feeds** and dynamically suggest optimal pricing in real time. ## Paperwork & Contract Complexity Trade agreements between buyers and sellers are difficult to store, verify, and retrieve. RECreate integrates **Fileverse decentralized storage** to store tamper-proof trade contracts. ## Carbon Compliance Challenges Companies pursuing sustainability targets struggle to track and prove their offset purchases. RECreate provides a **transparent and auditable trail** linking every REC transaction to its carbon benefit. ## Web3 Accessibility Issues Most Web3 trading platforms are desktop-only, English-only, and inaccessible to many users. RECreate introduces a **mobile-first platform** with: - Gamified leaderboard - Accessibility / blind mode - Multilingual support
How it's made
Challenges we ran into # Challenges We Ran Into ## ENS Subdomain Registration Dynamically registering ENS subdomains for each new buyer and seller required: - Gas optimization - Handling cases where subdomains were already claimed - Managing failed or timed-out transactions during registration ## AI Agent Price Calibration Training the AI pricing agent was challenging. Early versions recommended prices that diverged too far from the market during low trading volume. Solution: - Introduced a **rolling market average anchor** - Added **deviation thresholds** to cap unrealistic price recommendations ## Fileverse Contract Integration Linking on-chain REC tokens to off-chain contract documents stored in Fileverse required building a **custom verification mapping layer**. This ensures the document hash can always be verified against the token ID. ## Gamification Balance Adding leaderboards and rewards risked making the platform feel less credible. We iterated multiple times to ensure the experience remained **engaging but professional**. ## Accessibility & Multilingual Implementation Implementing accessibility and internationalization within the limited hackathon timeline was challenging. Features implemented: - Screen reader support - High contrast UI - ARIA labels - Multilingual support using i18n
