## \[TECHNICAL SPECS] // Anticapture Architecture

This section outlines the technical architecture of **Anticapture**, describing the stack, infrastructure, and integration points.

### Architecture Overview

| **Layer**          | **Technology**   | **Purpose**                                                               |
| ------------------ | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Frontend**       | Next.js          | Web app providing the user interface to display governance security data. |
| **Backend**        | Nest.js + Prisma | API server for processing requests and handling logic.                    |
| **ETL / Indexer**  | Ponder v0.8      | Extracts, transforms, and loads blockchain data into the database.        |
| **Database**       | PostgreSQL       | Stores governance data, delegations, transactions, and wallets.           |
| **Integrations**   | DefiLlama API    | Provides token price feeds (USD) for accurate valuations.                 |
| **Infrastructure** | Vercel / Railway | Vercel hosts frontend; Railway hosts backend and PostgreSQL DB.           |

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="🖥️  Frontend" %}

* Built with **Next.js**.
* Optimized for performance and responsiveness.
* Fetches data directly from backend API and database.
  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="⚙️ Backend" %}

* **Nest.js API**: Manages requests from the frontend and external services.
* **Prisma ORM**: Provides type-safe database interactions.
* **Ponder v0.8 ETL**:
  * Extracts governance data from on-chain sources.
  * Transforms raw blockchain data into structured formats.
  * Loads into PostgreSQL for persistence.
    {% endtab %}

{% tab title="🗄️ Database" %}

* **PostgreSQL** as the primary datastore.
* Maintains all governance-related data:
  * Proposals
  * Delegations
  * Transactions
  * Wallets
    {% endtab %}

{% tab title="🔗 Third-party Integrations" %}

* **DefiLlama API** for token price feeds.
* Ensures all governance token data is converted into USD for reporting and risk signals.
  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="🛠️ Infrastructure" %}

* **Vercel**: Hosts the frontend (Next.js).
* **Railway**: Hosts backend services (Nest.js + Prisma) and the PostgreSQL database.
  {% endtab %}
  {% endtabs %}

### Technical Highlights

* **Real-time indexing** of DAO proposals and governance actions.
* **Separation of concerns** across frontend, backend, ETL, and DB.
* **Scalable & modular design**: New DAOs and integrations can be plugged in easily.
* **Open-source by default**: Built for collaboration and contribution.
