Civic Ledger | Your Insightful Guide to Revolutionizing Charitable Giving with Blockchain

Team Devhubs represents a new generation of technologists who see innovation as a pathway to integrity and impact. At the Agentic AI Founders Hackathon—Zero to One Hack with Uttar Pradesh—these five Chandigarh University students set out to tackle one of philanthropy’s oldest and toughest problems: trust.

While many hackathon projects chase novelty, Team Devhubs aimed for social transformation. Their mission is simple yet profound—to restore transparency in charitable giving through blockchain technology and AI-driven validation.

Transparency is the new currency of trust—and blockchain is how we mint it.

What are they building

Civic Ledger is a blockchain-powered transparency platform designed to rebuild confidence in charitable ecosystems. It ensures that every rupee donated is traceable, verifiable, and directly tied to measurable outcomes.

Through AI-enhanced milestone verification and immutable blockchain records, Civic Ledger removes the opacity that has long plagued nonprofit fundraising.

Key Components of Civic Ledger:

  • Smart Contract Architecture: Donations are held securely in blockchain-based escrow contracts, releasing funds only when verified milestones are met.

  • IPFS Documentation: Every milestone is documented and stored using IPFS, ensuring tamper-proof evidence that cannot be altered or erased.

  • Community Validation System: Independent verifiers and oracles confirm milestone achievements before triggering automated disbursements.

  • Real-Time Impact Dashboards: Donors gain access to live tracking dashboards that visualize where and how their money creates real-world change.

This isn’t just a donation portal—it’s a trust protocol for philanthropy.

⚙️ Tech Stack

  • Blockchain (Smart Contracts, Oracles, Escrow Systems)

  • IPFS (InterPlanetary File System)

  • AI-based Verification & Validation

  • Real-Time Analytics Dashboards

  • Web3 Infrastructure

Why are they building or to solve what?

The charitable sector faces a growing crisis of confidence. Donors hesitate to contribute due to fears of misallocation, lack of transparency, and absence of measurable results. Team Devhubs recognized this as a human problem disguised as a technical one—a deficit of trust.

Civic Ledger bridges this gap through automation, verifiability, and consensus-driven validation. By letting technology guarantee accountability, it shifts philanthropy from “give and hope” to “give and know.”

The team’s work earned them the 2nd position in the Blockchain & Web3 with AI category at HackWithUttarPradesh, but their true success lies in the impact potential—building digital trust where it matters most.

Scope

Civic Ledger: The Dawn of Transparent Philanthropy

Civic Ledger envisions a world where every charitable act is visible, verifiable, and value-driven. Beyond hackathons and competitions, the team is laying the groundwork for a decentralized trust infrastructure for social good organizations globally.

The platform’s future iterations aim to:

  • Integrate AI-based fraud detection to identify irregular spending patterns.

  • Enable multi-chain compatibility for global NGO participation.

  • Introduce decentralized reputation systems for donors and organizations alike.

In doing so, Civic Ledger doesn’t just enhance charity—it redefines it.
