🛡️ Nexus-Shield

A Cross-Border, AI-Driven, Blockchain-Anchored Contract Lifecycle Management Platform

🔗 GitHub Repository: https://github.com/sylvia-barick/stellar_cipher
🌐 Live Deployment: https://stellarnexus-three.vercel.app/


📌 Overview

Nexus-Shield is an enterprise-grade Contract Lifecycle Management (CLM) platform designed to solve critical challenges in cross-border trade contracts:

  • Jurisdictional risks
