Pulse — Creator Investment Marketplace (Prototype)

Pulse is a platform where fans can invest in their favorite creators, buying tokens that represent "shares" in their community impact and future success.

Warning

PROTOTYPE / DEMO ONLY This application is a UI prototype for demonstration purposes. No real funds are handled. All monetary values, transactions, and tokens are simulated in-memory and reset on refresh. Real implementation requires strict adherence to financial regulations (KYC/AML), smart contract audits, and securities law compliance.

Project Overview

This prototype demonstrates a full user flow for a creator token marketplace:

• Landing Page: Value proposition and feature highlights.
• Market: Browse and search for creators.
• Creator Profile: View bio, token price history (simulated chart), and buy/sell tokens.
• Dashboard: Track your portfolio performance and holdings.
• Auth: Mock authentication for "Supporter" and "Creator" roles.
• Settings: Profile and wallet connection placeholder.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React (Vite) + TypeScript
• Styling: TailwindCSS
• Routing: React Router v6
• Charts: Recharts
• Icons: Lucide React
• State: React Context API + Local Storage (Mock Persistence)

Quick Start

1. Install dependencies

   npm install

2. Start development server

   npm run dev

3. Build for production

   npm run build
   npm run preview

Architecture & Integration

The project is designed to be easily connected to a real backend.

Mock API (src/api/mockApi.ts)

Currently, all data is served from local JSON (mock/). Async delays are added to simulate network latency. To integrate a real backend:

1. Replace mockApi.ts methods with fetch() calls to your REST/GraphQL API.
2. Set VITE_API_BASE_URL in .env.

Web3 Integration

The BuySellWidget and Settings pages contain placeholders for Web3 integration.

• Look for // TODO: Replace with real API comments.
• Integrate libraries like ethers.js or wagmi to connect real wallets (MetaMask).

Ethics & Safeguards

If building this as a real product, the following safeguards are mandatory:

1. KYC/AML: Verify the identity of all creators and investors to prevent money laundering.
2. Compliance: Consult legal counsel regarding securities laws (SEC in US). Creator tokens may be classified as securities.
3. Moderation: Strict content and community guidelines to prevent abuse.
4. Dispute Resolution: Mechanisms for addressing fraud or creator abandonment.
5. Smart Contract Audits: Ensure all on-chain code is audited by reputable firms.
