• Backend: Nodejs, Express
• Database: MongoDB
• File Storage Network: IPFS
• Blockchain: Tron (Shasta Testnet)
• Other Tools/Libraries: TronWeb, Infura, etc.

Setup

First clone the repo:

git clone https://www.github.com/Ronak-59/CertiFi

Blockchain:

Deploy the smart contract on Shasta Blockchain and use the contract address and ABI with TronWeb library in the frontend.

Backend:

Run the following commands:

cd backend
npm install

Then copy .env.example to .env and set/update the values in the file. After setting the environment variables, run the following command to start the server:

npm run start

Now, the backend should be live at http://localhost:5544

Frontend:

Go to the root of the folder and install node modules:

npm install

Now, set the backend API base url i.e. http://localhost:5544 to /src/utils/api.js and then run the following command:

npm run start

Now, the frontend should be live at http://localhost:3000

Requirements:

• TronLink Extension with Tron account enabled on the browser
• TronLink should be on Shasta Testnet and optionally have some test TRX to issue/revoke credentials
