# Platform Architecture

This is what our platform is built from.

Unique.vc consists of 3 core components: 

### 1. Unique dApp 

[Unique dApp](https://unique.vc/) is a React web application that represents the platform’s frontend. It allows people to connect their wallets and start [creating](broken://pages/Rgl5SwKUHFZMF3l5aW2J) and [joining](broken://pages/gAXcPfUOc3rogfMqREhi) Venture Clubs. 

### 2. Backend 

The backend consists of a server application written in NextJS and a Postgres database which are hosted on a securely configured cloud infrastructure. The backend is used as a supporting component for the Unique dApp and is responsible for handling non-sensitive off-chain data and files, such as descriptions, tags and images/avatars. 

### 3. Blockchain Programs 

Blockchain programs are the core of our platform. They provide on-chain instructions for managing clubs and club assets (governance and financial configurations, memberships, proposals, etc.) with which the users are interacting through the Unique dApp component.
