About the Project

This repository provides an educational and practical journey into Web3 development, covering the following key areas:

• Blockchain fundamentals.
• Smart contract development with Solidity.
• Frontend integration with Web3 libraries (e.g., ethers.js).
• Deploying dApps on platforms like Ethereum, Polygon, and more.

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer,
this guide is tailored to take you from the basics to advanced Web3 concepts with real-world projects.

Tech Stack

This project utilizes the following tools and frameworks:

• Frontend: React, Next.js, Tailwind CSS
• Blockchain: Ethereum, Solidity
• Libraries: ethers.js, web3.js
• Backend: Node.js, Express
• Smart Contract Testing: Hardhat, Chai
• Deployment: Alchemy, Infura, Vercel

Features

• Comprehensive tutorials for Web3 development.
• Hands-on projects, including NFT minting, decentralized exchanges, and DAO creation.
• Integration of smart contracts with a React-based frontend.
• Optimized for learning with detailed comments and modular code structure.

Installation

Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/Great187520/Road-to-Web3.git
cd Road-to-Web3

Install Dependencies

Navigate into the appropriate directories (frontend/backend) and install dependencies:

npm install

Set Up Environment Variables

Create a .env file in the root directory and configure the following variables:

ALCHEMY_API_KEY=your-alchemy-api-key
INFURA_PROJECT_ID=your-infura-project-id
WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY=your-private-key

(Ensure your private key is secure and avoid exposing it publicly.)

Start the Development Server

npm run dev

Usage

Running the Frontend

Navigate to the frontend directory and start the application:

cd frontend
npm start

Deploying Smart Contracts

Navigate to the contracts directory and use Hardhat to deploy the smart contracts:

npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network <network-name>

Testing Contracts

Run unit tests to verify smart contract functionality:

npx hardhat test
