🚀 CollabSpace: Connect. Collaborate. Create.

CollabSpace

CollabSpace is a comprehensive platform designed to empower developers by bridging the gap between ideas and execution. Built on the Xion Network, it enables seamless project collaboration, real-time idea sharing, reputation building, and on-chain recognition — all in a Web3-native yet user-friendly way.

Whether you're looking to kickstart your idea, contribute to live projects, or build your blockchain reputation — CollabSpace is your hub for meaningful collaboration in the decentralized space.

🧩 Problem Statement

Thousands of brilliant project ideas are abandoned due to a lack of contributors or visibility. Simultaneously, developers — especially juniors — struggle to find relevant, real-world projects to gain experience, collaborate, or even monetize their skills.

Key Challenges:

• Visibility Gap: Incomplete ideas don’t get the spotlight or collaborators.

• Discovery Issue: Developers lack access to quality Web3 projects.

• Recognition Deficit: No structured way to reward or recognize contributors.

• Adoption Barrier: Existing platforms feel too Web2 or too complex for new devs.

🌐 The CollabSpace Solution

CollabSpace addresses these gaps by offering a decentralized platform built for collaboration and contribution in Web3. It empowers users to:

• 🚀 Submit Project Ideas: Pitch early-stage or unfinished projects for community feedback and support.

• 🛠️ Join Active Builds: Find and contribute to meaningful projects based on your skills, interests, or incentives.

• 💼 Build Developer Profiles: Showcase your abilities, contributions, and experience with dynamic on-chain metadata.

• 📈 Earn XP & Reputation: Gain experience points for verified actions and track your public reputation over time.

• 🔗 Onboard Seamlessly: Enjoy Web2-like simplicity with gasless wallet onboarding via Abstraxion.

🏗️ Project Structure

CollabSpace is built with three key components, each serving a vital role in the platform’s functionality:

🖥️ 1. Client (Frontend)

The frontend is developed using React and TypeScript, providing a performant and intuitive user interface to interact with blockchain-backed features.

Key Technologies:

• React + TypeScript

• Tailwind CSS + Shadcn UI

• React Router (routing/navigation)

• Axios (for RESTful API integration)

• Abstraxion (for wallet abstraction & gasless login)

Main Pages:

• Home – Landing page & platform overview

• Projects – Browse & filter active projects

• Ideas – Submit and vote on community-generated ideas

• Profile – View developer XP, skills, and contribution history

• Dashboard – Personalized activity overview

🛠️ 2. Server (Backend API)

The backend is implemented with Node.js and Express, and leverages Supabase for authentication, storage, and optional real-time features.

Key Technologies:

• Node.js + Express

• PostgreSQL (via Supabase)

• JWT-based authentication

• Supabase Realtime (optional, for presence/chat features)

API Routes:

• POST /api/auth/* – User authentication

• GET/POST /api/user-data/* – Fetch/update user info

• GET/POST /api/profile/* – Manage user profiles

• GET/POST /api/projects/* – Project management endpoints

• GET/POST /api/ideas/* – Submit and vote on ideas

🧠 3. Smart Contracts

Smart contracts written in Rust (CosmWasm) are deployed to the Xion Network Testnet. These contracts handle critical on-chain logic such as:

• ✅ Project submissions and listings

• 🔜 [Future] XP minting for verified contributions

• 🔜 [Future] Contributor reputation storage & retrieval

🛠️ Architecture Overview

• Supabase → Auth & structured user data (off-chain)

• Abstraxion → Seamless wallet login & gasless transaction layer

• Xion Smart Contracts → On-chain actions like project creation, XP, and verifiable contributions
