[Nurudeen38]

Web3 Message Signer & Verifier - Full Implementation

This PR implements a complete full-stack Web3 application that allows users to authenticate with Dynamic.xyz embedded wallets, sign custom messages, and verify signatures on the backend.

📋 What's Implemented

✅ Frontend (React 18+)

• Dynamic.xyz Integration: Complete headless implementation with embedded wallet support
• Authentication Flow: Custom sign-in UI with Dynamic.xyz authentication modal
• Message Signing: User-friendly interface for signing custom messages
• Signature Verification: Real-time backend verification with visual feedback
• Message History: Persistent local storage with secure encryption
• Responsive Design: Beautiful, modern UI with glassmorphism effects

✅ Backend (Node.js + Express)

• REST API: POST /verify-signature endpoint for signature validation
• Signature Recovery: Uses ethers.js to recover signer addresses from signatures
• Input Validation: Comprehensive validation for message and signature parameters
• Error Handling: Robust error handling with detailed error responses
• Health Check: /health endpoint for monitoring
• History API: /history endpoint for message tracking

✅ Key Features

• Secure Storage: AES-encrypted local storage for message history
• Real-time Feedback: Loading states and success/error indicators
• Address Display: Formatted wallet address display in header
• Message Persistence: History persists across browser sessions
• Modern UI/UX: Gradient backgrounds, smooth animations, and responsive design

Technical Implementation

Frontend Architecture

• React Hooks: Custom hooks for state management
• Component Structure: Modular components with clear separation of concerns
