Project Overview

Web3 Crowdfunding is a platform that allows users to create and participate in crowdfunding campaigns using cryptocurrency. It eliminates the need for intermediaries, such as banks or payment processors, by leveraging smart contracts deployed on the Ethereum blockchain. With this application, campaign creators can set funding goals and deadlines, while contributors can send their contributions directly to the smart contract. Once a campaign reaches its funding goal within the specified deadline, the funds are released to the creator.

Demo

Features

• Create and manage crowdfunding campaigns.
• Contribute to campaigns using Ethereum or compatible tokens.
• Track the progress of campaigns in real-time.
• Automatic fund release when the funding goal is reached.
• Refund contributors if the campaign fails to reach its goal within the deadline.

Technologies Used

• Vite: Fast, opinionated web application build tool for React.js.
• React.js: A JavaScript library for building user interfaces.
• Hardhat: A development environment for Ethereum that allows writing, testing, and deploying smart contracts.
• ThirdWeb: A library that simplifies the interaction with smart contracts using Web3.js and ethers.js.
• Solidity: A contract-oriented programming language for writing smart contracts on the Ethereum platform.

Getting Started

To set up the project locally, please follow the steps below:

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/your-username/web3-crowdfunding.git

2. Install the dependencies:

cd web3-crowdfunding npm install

3. Configure your Ethereum network settings by creating a .env file in the root directory. You can use the .env.example file as a template.

4. Configure the deployment parameters for the smart contracts in the hardhat.config.js file.

5. Customize the application by modifying the React components in the src directory.

Running the Application

To start the development server, run the following command:

npm run dev

This will start the Vite server, and the application will be accessible at http://localhost:3000.

Running Tests

To run the smart contract tests, use the following command:

npx hardhat test
