# Crypto Exchange Platform

This project is a cryptocurrency exchange platform built with modern web technologies. Users can connect their crypto wallets, view live cryptocurrency prices, and send crypto assets across the blockchain. The platform includes a responsive frontend, a smart contract backend, and live crypto price updates.

## Features

- **Wallet Connection**: Connect your crypto wallet to initiate transactions.
- **Live Price Updates**: View real-time prices for popular cryptocurrencies.
- **Blockchain Transactions**: Send crypto securely to any address on the blockchain.
- **Interactive UI**: Built with React and styled with Tailwind CSS for a smooth user experience.

## Project Structure

- `client`: The frontend React application where users interact with the platform.
- `smart_contract`: Contains the Solidity smart contracts deployed on the Sepolia Testnet.

## Prerequisites

Before running this project, ensure you have the following installed:

- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/)
- [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/)
- [Hardhat](https://hardhat.org/)
- [Metamask](https://metamask.io/) (for wallet integration)

## Getting Started

```

### Step 2: Install Client Dependencies

Navigate to the `client` directory and install dependencies:

```bash
cd client
npm install
```

### Step 3: Install Smart Contract Dependencies

Navigate to the `smart_contract` directory and install dependencies:

```bash
cd ../smart_contract
npm install
```

### Step 4: Compile the Smart Contracts

Compile the Solidity contracts with Hardhat:

```bash
npx hardhat compile
```

### Step 5: Start the Local Blockchain

Run a local blockchain instance with Hardhat:

```bash
npx hardhat node
```

### Step 6: Deploy Contracts (Optional)

You can deploy contracts to the Sepolia Testnet or any local network:

```bash
npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network sepolia
```

### Step 7: Start the Client

Open a new terminal, navigate to the `client` folder, and start the frontend:

```bash
cd client
npm start
```

## Tools and Technologies Used

- **React**: JavaScript library for building the user interface.
- **Tailwind CSS**: CSS framework for styling.
