Web3 Investment Platform Development

Arbela is designed as a space where Web3 companies can present their ideas and investors can find new opportunities. Users can create different types of cards, browse existing projects, take part in discussions, and vote for the most promising ones. The platform combines elements of a catalog, forum, and voting system.

The project goal was to create a platform that matches prospective businesses in the Web3 area with potential investors, gathers feedback from the community on proposed companies, and highlights the most compelling proposals. Our task was to develop a fast, scalable, and secure application using the provided design, ensuring a smooth user experience.

The main challenge was combining social interaction with structured investment data. The platform needed to support different types of content while staying simple to use. At the same time, voting logic had to be clear and limited to avoid misuse. Another challenge was making the experience consistent across all flows, from discovery to discussion and decision-making.

The design is simple and clean, with a positive visual style. We worked on the landing page and redesigned key flows. The platform was also adapted for different screen sizes to ensure consistent usability.

We built the platform using Next.js on the frontend and Node.js with Express on the backend. MongoDB was used to handle flexible data structures, especially for different card types and user-generated content. The focus was on performance, scalability, and smooth interaction between all parts of the system.

Investment cards are used by companies to present their projects. They include key information such as pitch decks, social links, and general details about the product. Users can review these cards and vote for the ones they find most promising.

The Bounty feature introduces a reward system. Users can complete specific research tasks and receive compensation. This feature is planned to grow into a more structured research flow over time.

The Catalog is the main page of the platform. It shows all available cards and allows users to create new ones. The Results page displays the top 5 cards of the week based on voting. Each user can vote three times per week. User profiles store activity and interactions on the platform.

Users can vote three times a week for different cards on the platform, and this page is made to show the top 5 cards that have been most voted on this week.

This page includes an inviting friend feature and a list of invited users. In addition, there is a possibility to see all the cards that you follow or create.

The platform has not been publicly released yet, but early feedback from investors and internal users has been positive. Arbela shows potential as a tool for connecting Web3 startups with investors in a more open and structured way.
