PublicConnect tackles connectivity crises in underserved regions, where unstable internet disrupts education, healthcare, and governance. Schools face e-learning outages, clinics endure telemedicine delays, and governments struggle to deliver digital services. Our solution integrates AI-driven optimization, blockchain transparency, and renewable energy into a unified platform, transforming connectivity into an equitable resource. Core Innovation Evolving from a basic AI-blockchain manager, PublicConnect now leverages ICP and Kybra to build a decentralized, low-cost infrastructure. Key features: AI Resilience: GPT-4 predicts traffic spikes and reroutes bandwidth; self-healing networks prevent outages. Blockchain Governance: DAOs enable schools, clinics, and NGOs to vote on network policies via ICP smart contracts, ensuring democratic resource allocation. Renewable Integration: Solar/wind-powered hubs with AI energy monitoring reduce costs and emissions. Technical Breakthroughs Migrated to Kybra for 100% on-chain logic, slashing backend costs by 70% via ICP’s reverse gas model. Replaced passwords with ICP Internet Identity for secure biometric logins. Validated scalability across 10,000+ nodes via Mininet simulations. Impact Education: Uninterrupted e-learning with exam-time bandwidth prioritization. Healthcare: Solar-backed telemedicine sustains care during outages. Transparency: Donors track funds on-chain; communities govern via DAOs. Scalability & Sustainability Revenue Model: Subscriptions, pay-per-use add-ons (e.g., disaster recovery), and an open-source plugin marketplace. Renewable Roadmap: Pilot 10 solar hubs by 2025, scaling to 500 by 2027 via blockchain crowdfunding. PublicConnect is a movement to democratize connectivity. By merging AI, blockchain, and renewables, we bridge the digital divide, fostering transparency, sustainability, and resilience.
