Welcome to Krypt, a Web 3.0 Blockchain application built using the power of React, Solidity, and Metamask. In this project, we explore how to create a decentralized application (DApp) from scratch, combining blockchain technologies with modern web development.
By following this guide, you will understand how to interact with a blockchain network, write smart contracts using Solidity, and connect your application to the Ethereum network with Metamask as the wallet solution. You will learn the entire development flow of a Web 3.0 app—right from setting up your local blockchain environment to deploying it for live usage.
- Smart Contract Development: Learn how to create, deploy, and interact with smart contracts using Solidity.
- React Frontend: Build the user interface with React to communicate seamlessly with the blockchain.
- Metamask Integration: Use Metamask to interact with the Ethereum blockchain and sign transactions securely.
- Decentralization: Understand the concept of decentralized applications (DApps) and how they operate on a blockchain.
- Transaction Management: Learn how to send and receive transactions on the Ethereum network directly from your web application.
These instructions will guide you through the process of setting up the project on your local machine for development and testing purposes.
Before starting, make sure you have the following installed:
- Node.js (version 14 or higher)
- npm or yarn (package managers)
- Metamask browser extension (for wallet and Ethereum network management)
- Truffle Suite or Hardhat (for smart contract development)
-
Solidity: The core of the app’s logic is implemented in Solidity smart contracts, which define the rules and functions of our blockchain application. These smart contracts are deployed to the Ethereum network, where they handle transactions, user data, and other operations securely and transparently.
-
React: The React frontend communicates with the Ethereum blockchain through web3.js or ethers.js, which acts as a bridge between the smart contracts and the React application. React provides a dynamic interface that updates in real-time as users interact with the blockchain.
-
Metamask: Metamask is the wallet extension that allows users to securely sign transactions and manage their private keys. It is the entry point to the Ethereum network for the app, enabling users to send and receive cryptocurrency and interact with decentralized applications.
-
Web 3.0: The next generation of the internet, where decentralization and blockchain technologies play a central role. Web 3.0 apps do not rely on centralized servers but instead use distributed ledger technologies to store data and execute functions.
-
Smart Contracts: These are self-executing contracts with the terms of the agreement directly written into code. They run on blockchain networks like Ethereum, ensuring security, transparency, and immutability.
-
DApps (Decentralized Applications): These are applications that run on a decentralized network, making them more resilient, secure, and user-centric. They typically interact with smart contracts to execute business logic.
