Problem Statement

Managing family finances can be challenging, especially when multiple family members are involved. Parents often struggle to maintain oversight and control over financial transactions while ensuring that children learn responsible financial habits. Traditional banking systems lack transparency and real-time updates, making it difficult for parents to track and approve transactions promptly.

Solution

Parental Control is a decentralized application (dApp) that solves these challenges by providing a secure and transparent platform for managing family finances. The dApp allows parents to create a parental wallet, add family members or children to the wallet, and oversee all financial transactions. Notifications are sent to parents for each transaction, allowing them to vote on whether to approve or reject it. This system promotes financial literacy among children and ensures responsible spending practices within the family. With real-time updates and transparent transaction logs, Parental Control offers a comprehensive solution for managing family finances efficiently.

Parental Control

Parental Control is a decentralized application (dApp) integrated with push protocol, deployed on the Scroll Sepolia testnet. It is designed to empower parents in managing family finances. The dApp allows users to create a parental wallet, add family members or children to the wallet, submit transactions, and vote on transactions. Notifications for transactions are sent to the inbox of owners (parents) for approval.
