Technical Overview
Architecture
The BARK Protocol consists of several smart contracts deployed on the Polygon network. The main components are:
Fundraiser Contract: Manages individual fundraising campaigns, including donation acceptance, receipt generation, and fund withdrawal.
FundraiserFactory Contract: Facilitates the creation and management of multiple fundraiser contracts, ensuring scalability and ease of deployment.
Fundraiser Contract
The Fundraiser contract is the core component of the BARK Protocol. It allows users to create and manage fundraising campaigns, accept donations, and withdraw funds. Key functionalities include:
Create Campaign: Initialize a new fundraising campaign with details such as name, image, description, goal amount, and beneficiary address.
Donate: Accept donations in MATIC tokens from users.
Generate Receipts: Provide donors with receipts for their contributions.
Withdraw Funds: Enable secure withdrawal of funds to the beneficiary address.
FundraiserFactory Contract
The FundraiserFactory contract allows the creation of multiple Fundraiser contracts. It provides a scalable solution for managing numerous fundraising campaigns, ensuring ease of deployment and administration.
Security
Security is a critical aspect of the BARK Protocol. The smart contracts are designed with security best practices in mind, including:
Ownership and Access Control: Only the owner of a Fundraiser contract can modify critical parameters or withdraw funds.
Immutable Records: All transactions and donations are recorded on the blockchain, providing an immutable and transparent record.
Audits and Testing: The smart contracts undergo rigorous audits and testing to identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
