Delegative Democracy DAO

Overview

This project is a Delegative Democracy DAO implemented using Hardhat, TypeScript, and deployed on the Sepolia test network. It allows participants to delegate their voting power in a democratic manner.

Prerequisites

• Node.js
• Yarn or npm
• An Ethereum wallet with Sepolia testnet ETH
• An Infura or Alchemy account for Sepolia RPC URL
• An Etherscan account for API access (for contract verification)

Installation

1. Clone the Repository

   git clone https://github.com/Winter9998/delegativeDemocracy.git
   cd delegativeDemocracy
   

yarn install
# or
npm install

Environment Setup

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

    SEPOLIA_RPC_URL='https://sepolia.infura.io/v3/your_infura_project_id'
    PRIVATE_KEY='your_wallet_private_key'
    ETHERSCAN_API_KEY='your_etherscan_api_key'

Replace the placeholders with your actual Sepolia RPC URL, private key, and Etherscan API key.

npx hardhat compile

Testing
