KALP-VOTE : The Decentralized Voting Application 🎉

This is a decentralized voting application built using Next.js on the frontend and Kalp Studio blockchain technology to securely manage and track votes. The app allows users to cast votes for candidates, retrieve real-time results 📊, and ensures transparency 🔍 and immutability 🔐 in voting transactions through the use of Kalp Studio's Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT).

Project Overview 🚀

This project leverages Kalp Studio's DLT for secure, transparent, and immutable voting transactions. The backend, powered by Kalp’s blockchain network, securely manages the voting process, while the frontend built with Next.js interacts with Kalp’s API to handle vote submissions and result retrieval. To ensure a smooth user experience, the app uses the blockchain ledger to retain vote counts, ensuring persistence even after page reloads.

Key Features 🌟

• 🔗 Blockchain Integration: Utilizes Kalp Studio's API to record votes and fetch real-time results, ensuring a secure, tamper-proof election process.
• 🔄 Persistent Voting: Vote counts are retained through session cookies, ensuring votes aren’t lost even if the page is reloaded.
• ✨ Smooth Animations: Custom scroll animations, including ScrollViewSplits and ReverseScrollViewSplits, provide a modern and engaging user experience.
• 📈 Real-time Results: Users can retrieve up-to-date vote counts instantly through the blockchain.

Kalp Studio Integration ⚙️

The application is integrated with Kalp Studio's blockchain technology on both the backend and frontend:

• 🖥️ Backend: Manages voting transactions and securely stores votes within Kalp’s blockchain network.
• 🌐 Frontend: Interacts with Kalp Studio’s API to cast votes and fetch real-time results. The ScrollViewSplits and ReverseScrollViewSplits components utilize Kalp Studio's API endpoints for voting and result tracking.

API Endpoints 📡

• 🔵 /Invoke/MintVote: This endpoint is used to submit votes for a candidate, ensuring the transaction is recorded on the Kalp blockchain.
• 🔵 /Invoke/GetCandidate: Fetches real-time vote counts from Kalp's blockchain network, allowing for immediate and transparent results.
