Title: Flare - Institutional Micro-Funding & Escrow Platform

What I Built

I built Flare, an institutional micro-funding and escrow platform designed to give small, solo-developer projects the spotlight they deserve. Flare bridges the trust gap between creators and backers by combining multi-currency escrow security, automated KYC verification workflows, AI-powered project risk analysis, and transparent milestone payout pipelines.

How I Built It

Flare was designed as a high-performance, responsive single-page web application using a modern tech stack:

• Frontend & UI: Built with Tailwind CSS for styling, custom glassmorphism components, interactive modals, live activity tickers, and a dynamic currency switcher (USD, EUR, INR).
• Interactive Visuals: Integrated Three.js to render an immersive, animated star-field background that enhances the institutional platform aesthetic.
• Security & Validation: Implemented client-side Luhn Algorithm (Mod-10 checksum) validation for credit/debit card inputs to block synthetic payment fraud before hitting escrow locks.
• Simulated Escrow & AI Risk Engine: Engineered real-time trust scoring and milestone simulation mechanics that transition funds securely from locked escrow states to creator releases.
• State Management & Auth: Utilized browser localStorage to seamlessly persist user authentication sessions (Creator vs. Backer roles), custom-published projects, and live funding states.
