DataHarbor

A decentralized marketplace for AI datasets and model weights.

Project Overview

DataHarbor is a Web3-powered platform where AI datasets and model weights can be freely exchanged, shared, and monetized, with transparent tracking of usage on-chain. The platform provides a fair revenue-sharing mechanism, reputation tracking for dataset/model creators, and privacy-preserving capabilities.

Features

• Marketplace: Users can list and purchase datasets or trained model weights
• Secure Storage: Decentralized hosting via IPFS for immutable data and model artifacts
• On-chain Tracking: Smart contracts to track ownership, usage, and micropayments
• Reputation System: On-chain mechanism that updates scores based on data/model quality
• Fair Revenue Sharing: Automatic royalty distribution to creators and contributors

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React.js
• Backend: Node.js, Express.js
• Database: MongoDB
• Blockchain: Ethereum/Polygon
• Smart Contracts: Solidity
• Decentralized Storage: IPFS

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v16+)
• npm or yarn
• MongoDB
• MetaMask or another Web3 wallet

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/AnkushGitRepo/data-harbor.git
   cd data-harbor
   

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   

3. Create environment files:

   cp .env.example .env
   cp client/.env.example client/.env
   

4. Update the environment variables in the .env files with your configuration.

Running the Development Environment

1. Start the MongoDB server:

   mongod
   

2. In a separate terminal, start the development server:

   npm run dev
   

This will start both the backend server and the frontend client in development mode.

Smart Contract Deployment

1. Compile the contracts:

   npm run compile --workspace=contracts
   

2. Run tests:

   npm run test --workspace=contracts
   

3. Deploy to local network:

   npm run deploy:local --workspace=contracts
   

4. Deploy to testnet:

   npm run deploy:testnet --workspace=contracts
