Recently, a lot of companies have been pledging funds towards their sustainability goals, but they don't offer any insight into their real actions. GreenFunds is a transparent and accountable platform that allows companies to be accountable for their goals.

GreenFunds utilizes transparency, security, and accountability of the Ethereum and Polygon blockchains to render a platform that can be used by companies, investment banks, hedge funds, and individuals to pledge cryptocurrency towards their sustainability goals. Activists, NGOs, and organizations active in this space can apply for these funds.

The platform not only brings companies and activists together, but also provides auditors, customers, and executives to keep a tab on the movement of funds. This allows the governmental agencies to keep a check on the companies' funds - ensuring they aren't evading taxes in the name of the environment and allows companies to build trust with their customers.

Instructions to run the project locally

Go into the root folder of the project, named SupplyChain and run npm install.
Inside the root folder, run truffle compile to compile the Solidity smart contract to their JSON ABIs.
Run truffle migrate --reset --network matic to migrate the smart contracts to the Matic Mumbai test network or truffle migrate --reset --network ropsten to migrate to the Ropsten Test Network.
After migration, run npm start to start the Web Application.

Note: If you want to use your own account to deploy the contracts, open the .truffle-config.js file and change the mnemonic to yours. To get the mnemonic of your account, you can go to Account Settings on Metamask or Export Account on Portis.

Note: If you deploy using a personal account, MATIC/ETH tokens are required in your account. You can request tokens using the publically available faucet for the Polygon Matic Mumbai network or faucets for the Ropsten network.
