## Core Features
### 1. Offline-First Banking
RupeeVerse uses a sophisticated offline-first architecture that enables critical banking functions without an internet connection.
#### How Offline Transactions Work:
1. **Local Storage Persistence**: All transactions are initially stored in the browser's localStorage
2. **Transaction Queue**: When offline, transactions are queued with unique IDs and timestamps
3. **Synchronization**: When connectivity returns, the app automatically syncs pending transactions
4. **Conflict Resolution**: The system resolves conflicts if transactions were modified while offline
5. **Verification Mechanism**: Uses cryptographic signatures to verify transaction integrity
**Implementation Details:**
- The `OfflineTransactionContext` provides a global state for managing transactions
- `offlineTransactions.ts` utility handles transaction creation, storage, and syncing
- QR code generation ensures secure transaction information exchange while offline
- Each transaction receives a unique reference code for tracking and verification
