🌟 The Mission

VeriFlow Network is a sovereign Layer 1 Blockchain dedicated to solving the "Black Box" problem in Artificial Intelligence.

In an era flooded with Deepfakes and unverified data scraping, VeriFlow acts as the immutable registry for data ownership and model verification.

The Problem ❌	VeriFlow Solution ✅
Unverified Data used in AI training.	On-Chain Provenance: Every dataset gets a cryptographic hash & timestamp.
Creators Unpaid for their IP.	Royalty Stream: Smart contracts pay creators automatically when data is used.
Black Box AI decision making.	Audit Trails: Transparent history of what data trained which model.

🛠️ Tech Stack

We combine the power of Golang for the blockchain layer with the flexibility of TypeScript for the application layer.

🚀 Getting Started

Follow these steps to run the entire ecosystem on your local machine.

0. Prerequisites

• Go (v1.21+)
• Node.js (v18+)
• Ignite CLI
• Keplr Wallet Extension

1. Start the Blockchain

Navigate to the chain directory and ignite the chain.

curl https://get.ignite.com/cli! | bash
cd chain
ignite scaffold chain verichain
ignite scaffold list dataset dataHash:string owner:string price:uint description:string --module provenance
ignite chain serve

🟢 Status: The blockchain API is now running at localhost:1317 and RPC at localhost:26657.

2. Start the Frontend

Open a new terminal tab.

npx create-next-app@latest web
cd web
npm install @cosmjs/stargate @cosmjs/proto-signing @keplr-wallet/types
npm install
npm run dev

🟢 Status: Open http://localhost:3000 to see the User Interface.
