🌍 Redefining Tweet Promotions with Web3 Transparency! 🚀

How It's Made

StreamAD is built using a combination of Web3, blockchain, and traditional web technologies to create a decentralized, transparent, and automated tweet promotion platform. It integrates Ethereum smart contracts, Twitter API, and Flask/Node.js backend to ensure seamless campaign creation, tracking, and reward distribution.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: Next.js, Tailwind CSS
• Backend: Flask (Python) and Node.js
• Blockchain: Solidity, Hardhat, Ethereum (or Layer 2 scaling solutions)
• Database: MongoDB
• APIs: Twitter API, Web3.js, Tweepy

Architecture and Workflow

1. Frontend: Built using Next.js for a fast, interactive user experience. It interacts with the backend through REST APIs and Web3.js for blockchain interactions.
2. Backend: Flask and Node.js handle API requests, Twitter data processing, and user authentication.
3. Blockchain Integration: Solidity smart contracts on Ethereum ensure fair, automated reward distribution. The backend interacts with these contracts using Web3.js.
4. Twitter API: Fetches engagement metrics like likes, retweets, and replies to verify campaign performance.
5. Database: MongoDB stores user data, campaign details, and engagement logs.
6. Smart Contracts: Deployed on Ethereum, responsible for holding and distributing funds based on verified Twitter interactions.

Partner Technologies and Benefits

• Ethereum Blockchain: Ensures transparency and prevents fraudulent reward distribution.
• Twitter API: Provides real-time engagement tracking and prevents fake participation.
• MetaMask: Enables secure wallet connections for influencers and campaign creators.
• MongoDB: Used for storing campaign and user data efficiently.

Hacky & Notable Implementations

• Automated Smart Contract Rewards: Instead of relying on manual approvals, we automated reward distribution based on Twitter API engagement metrics.
• Gas Fee Optimization: Transactions are batched to minimize gas fees when distributing rewards.
• Real-Time Campaign Monitoring: A backend service continuously checks engagement metrics and triggers smart contract functions automatically.
• Fake Engagement Prevention: Implemented a verification layer to ensure retweets and likes come from real, active Twitter accounts.

Challenges Faced

• Rate Limits on Twitter API: We had to implement efficient caching and batching to avoid excessive API calls.
• Blockchain Transaction Speeds: Used Layer 2 solutions to optimize transaction costs and speeds.
• Wallet Authentication for Non-Crypto Users: Simplified the onboarding process for users unfamiliar with Web3 by providing guided MetaMask connection steps.
