This is a Buildspace project.
During a two-week sprint, I coded and deployed an Ethereum smart contract with an interactive web app using Solidity and React amongst 200+ developers. As a Buildspace hackathon, a live "kick-off" showcased an intro to the project scope. There were scheduled, hour-long co-working sessions where lo-fi beats played as we individually worked alongside the developer community.
For this project, I created a movie forum. Users post prompted movie recommendations to the blockchain by connecting their Metamask wallet to the free Rinkeby testnet. Once users' Metamask wallets are connected to the web app, the movie portal is enabled and movie recommendations from other users can be seen!
- Smart Contract: a piece of code that lives on the blockchain
- Blockchain: a public place where anyone can securely read and write data for a fee
- Metamask Wallet: a crypto wallet & secure gateway to connect blockchain apps
- Rinkeby Testnet: a free Ethereum test network
- Install node/npm
- Install Hardhat
- Install Hardhat Dependencies: Waffle & Ethers
- Install Metamask Browser Extension
I earned an NFT for being a part of the first 200 developers to complete the 2-week sprint.
