🧬 MolChain - Decentralized Molecular Intelligence

🏆 ETH Oxford 2026 Hackathon Submission

🎯 The Problem

Drug discovery is slow (10-15 years), expensive ($2B+ per drug), and centralized. Molecular data validation requires manual expert review.

💡 Our Solution

MolChain combines AI agent swarms with Flare blockchain to create a decentralized network where:

• 5 specialized AI agents analyze each molecule
• Consensus results are stored immutably on Flare blockchain
• Researchers worldwide can contribute and validate

🚀 Built on Flare

Network

• Network: Flare Coston2 Testnet

• Chain ID: 114

• RPC URL: https://coston2-api.flare.network/ext/bc/C/rpc

• Explorer: https://coston2-explorer.flare.network

  ENVIORMENT VARIABLES:

  SETUP;

Flare Protocol Integrations

• FTSOv2 (Flare Time Series Oracle): Real-time price feeds for FLR/USD, BTC/USD, and ETH/USD
• Contract Registry: On-chain contract discovery via Flare's ContractRegistry
• Blockchain Transactions: Molecule registration and AI consensus scores stored immutably on Flare
• NO CONTRACTS DEPLOYED

Demo

• Video Walkthrough: [im sleeping, will complete later]
