🌍 Decentralized Crypto Donation Tracker

This project is a decentralized donation tracker that allows users to donate cryptocurrency to various causes and track all donations in real time. The goal is to create a transparent and easy-to-use platform where users can support charitable initiatives using cryptocurrencies like ETH. Every donation is logged and displayed for transparency, simulating blockchain-like behavior.
