Black River Intel MVP Plan

Navigate by scrolling or using a dropdown (if implemented).

Executive Summary

This application visualizes the implementation plan for the Minimum Viable Product (MVP) of Black River Intelligence, a decentralized intelligence platform. The MVP leverages the Brave Browser as the primary user interface, Hedera Hashgraph for the DAO infrastructure, and AI-powered coding tools to accelerate development. This approach prioritizes security, reliability, and rapid development by utilizing existing, proven open-source technologies. Use the sidebar to navigate through the key components of the plan.

Core Principles

🛡️

Security First

All components and processes designed with security as the paramount concern.

🌐

Decentralization

Built on a decentralized foundation for censorship resistance and user control.

📖

Open Source

Prioritizing open-source software to foster transparency and collaboration.

🤖

AI-Assisted

Employing AI coding tools to streamline development and reduce manual effort.

🎯

Lean MVP

Focus on core features for early adopters to provide feedback for iteration.

High-Level Architecture

The platform is designed with a three-layer architecture to separate concerns and ensure scalability. The UI layer handles all user interactions, the DAO layer manages governance and blockchain operations, and the Intelligence layer contains the core application logic. Each layer is designed to be modular and can be updated independently.

💻

User Interface Layer

The Brave Browser serves as the primary human-agent interface. A custom Brave extension will provide users with access to the platform's features.

🔗

DAO & Governance Layer

Hedera Hashgraph is the underlying DLT. An open-source DAO framework will manage governance, proposals, and voting.

🧠

Intelligence & Agent Layer

Responsible for the core logic. For the MVP, this is a simplified system, with potential to integrate more advanced AI models later.

Technology Stack

Frontend

Brave Browser JavaScript HTML CSS

Backend (DAO)

Hedera Hashgraph easiDAO / HashioDAO Solidity Hedera JS SDK

Development Tools

Augment / Cursor Git CI/CD (TBD)

Implementation Phases

The MVP development is broken down into four distinct phases, totaling 8 weeks. This chart provides a high-level visual of the project timeline. Hover over each bar to see key activities associated with that phase. This approach ensures a structured, milestone-driven development process from foundation to launch.

AI-Assisted Development Workflow

  • 1

    Code Generation

    Use Augment or Cursor to generate boilerplate code, smart contracts, and UI components from natural language.

  • 2

    Code Completion & Refactoring

    Leverage AI for intelligent code completion and refactoring to improve quality and reduce dev time.

  • 3

    Bug Detection & Fixing

    Utilize the AI's ability to identify patterns and suggest fixes for bugs in the codebase.

  • 4

    Documentation

    Generate documentation for code and APIs automatically using the AI assistant.

Security Considerations

Smart Contract Audits

All smart contracts will be audited by a reputable third-party security firm before mainnet deployment.

Brave Browser Security

Leverage built-in Brave security features (Shields) to protect users from phishing and malicious attacks.

Secure Wallet Integration

The Brave extension will use secure, standard methods for integrating with users' Hedera wallets.

Data Privacy

All user data will be handled in a privacy-preserving manner, with a commitment to data minimization.

Next Steps

  • Assemble the core development team.
  • Conduct a detailed evaluation of easiDAO and HashioDAO to select the most suitable framework.
  • Begin Phase 1 of the implementation plan: Foundation & DAO Setup.
