        abstract = {Crowdfunding has revolutionized fundraising by enabling individuals and organizations to support innovative and socially impactful projects. However, traditional platforms often face challenges related to transparency, backer engagement, and trust. HopeHive addresses these issues by integrating donation-based and reward-based crowdfunding models, ensuring contributors receive tangible or intangible rewards for their support. By implementing real- time fund tracking, secure payment systems, and enhanced creator-backer communication, HopeHive fosters trust and community engagement. This paper explores the platform’s design, features, and potential impact on crowdfunding, economic development, and social innovation.},
