Project Name

GhostPic
Anonymous Civic Voice Platform

Problem Statement

People often face civic issues—bad roads, water shortages, power cuts, safety risks—but hesitate to report them due to fear, privacy concerns, or lack of trust in authorities. No secure, anonymous, and location-based platform currently exists to raise these concerns publicly and effectively.

Solution Overview

GhostPic is a decentralized platform that allows users to anonymously report civic issues using Anon Aadhaar for one-time verification. With Alith AI, post content is enhanced and analyzed to assign urgency. Posts are shown based on location, and a community moderation system ensures credibility by enabling votes, flags, and comments. Verified posts gain priority; false ones are deactivated.

Project Description

GhostPic empowers individuals to anonymously voice real-world civic concerns while ensuring data integrity and privacy. Users verify themselves using Anon Aadhaar, linked to a single primary wallet (with optional batch wallet binding to prevent misuse). Posts are location-filtered to ensure relevance, while still protecting user identity.

Alith AI enhances and prioritizes posts by analyzing issue seriousness through language indicators. This ensures high-impact concerns are surfaced. Importantly, priority ranking is reviewed to prevent algorithmic bias. Sensitive image uploads are blocked using nsfwjs, keeping the platform safe.

Metis SDK supports scalable infrastructure, AI execution, and compatibility with Ethereum, enabling smooth, secure interactions with minimal latency.

Community-driven moderation ensures flagged posts are reviewed. If a user gets repeatedly flagged, future posts are marked as “spam” upfront and are deactivated if flagged again—protecting against coordinated abuse while safeguarding genuine voices.

Community Engagement Features

Testable Tasks

  • Submit anonymous, verified posts
  • Vote on post credibility
  • Flag misinformation
  • Comment or suggest solutions
  • Share issues
  • Upvote valid concerns

User Badge System

  • Active Member: Posts or votes occasionally
  • Super Active Member: Regular engagement, reporting
  • Civic Watcher: Validates and moderates responsibly
  • Community Builder: Posts leading to real-world resolution

Ruling Party Points System

  • Post addressed: +10
  • Issue resolved: +25
  • High-priority issue resolved (AI-rated): +50
  • Responded within 48 hours: +15 bonus

This system promotes transparency and gives the ruling party incentive to resolve issues visibly. The opposition can hold them accountable, especially during elections—making civic engagement more meaningful.

nice, but here are some quick question regarding GhostPic:

  • Do you think anonymity can increase civic engagement, or could it also invite misuse?
  • How effective do you think Anon Aadhaar is for preventing spam while keeping users anonymous?

Here is the clarification:

  1. Yes, anonymity increases civic engagement by allowing users to share issues without fear of retaliation. To prevent misuse, the platform includes a reporting and flagging system that helps filter out false or harmful content.

  2. Anon Aadhaar ensures user verification without revealing identity. By linking a primary wallet to Anon Aadhaar and batching any secondary wallets, we prevent spam and multiple fake accounts while maintaining user anonymity.

Hello @gokkull_15

  1. Can users track the status of a post they submitted — whether it has been acknowledged, acted upon, or resolved?
  2. How do you ensure that post-resolution actions are actually verifiable and not just claimed by users or parties?

Hi @priyankg3

Here’s the clarifications:

  1. Yes, users can view their submitted posts, but resolution status isn’t shown. The ruling party can use resolved posts as proof of action during public reviews or elections.

  2. Post-resolution actions are not user-claimed; they must be acknowledged by verified ruling party accounts linked to the platform. Each resolution requires proof—such as image updates, external links, or geo-tagged evidence. The community can upvote or challenge these proofs, ensuring transparency and making false claims publicly contestable.
