**Frontend:**- Proposal submission system for journalists
- DAO voting interface with real-time updates
- Permanent archive of published reports
- Beautiful 3D network visualization
- Modern, responsive UI with dark theme

**Deployment:**- Smart contracts deployed on Sepolia testnet (9 contracts)
- Frontend deployed to IPFS via PinMe (DeFront)
- Fully decentralized and censorship-resistant

### Tech Stack:- **Smart Contracts**: Solidity, OpenZeppelin, Hardhat
