No README, purpose and setup steps are undocumented, you'd need to read the code directly.

So what is it?

The README for this repository is essentially empty, so I can only work with the limited information available in the repo name and description. Based on the name and context, this appears to be a Python project created for the ETHOxford hackathon, a competitive event where developers build software prototypes in a short time frame. The "fow" part of the repository name isn't explained in the README, so it's unclear what specific problem the project tackles or what it does. Without a populated README, it's hard to tell what the actual user-facing benefit is or how the code works. Typically, hackathon projects are experimental or proof-of-concept solutions built around themes like blockchain, decentralized applications, or other Web3 technologies (given the "Ethereum Oxford" context), but the README doesn't confirm this. To understand what this project does, you'd need to look at the code files themselves or contact the authors directly. If you're considering using or contributing to this repository, I'd recommend asking the maintainers to add a README that explains what the project aims to solve, how to run it, and why it was built.
