# NFT Marketplace
## Introduction
This project aims to develop a decentralized marketplace for trading Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs). NFTs represent unique digital assets, such as digital art, collectibles, and virtual real estate, and are typically traded on blockchain platforms. The marketplace provides a platform for users to create, buy, sell, and trade NFTs securely and transparently.
## Technology Stack & Tools
- **Solidity**: Solidity is a high-level programming language used for writing smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain.
- **Javascript (React & Testing)**: React is a popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces. It is used here for the frontend development of the marketplace. Testing frameworks are also implemented in JavaScript.
- **[Ethers](https://docs.ethers.io/v5/)**: Ethers is a JavaScript library used for interacting with the Ethereum blockchain. It provides a simple and efficient way to interact with smart contracts.
- **[Hardhat](https://hardhat.org/)**: Hardhat is a development environment for Ethereum projects. It facilitates tasks such as compiling, deploying, testing, and debugging smart contracts.
- **[IPFS](https://ipfs.io/)**: IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) is a decentralized storage protocol used for storing metadata associated with NFTs. It ensures data integrity and availability without relying on a central server.
- **[React Router](https://v5.reactrouter.com/)**: React Router is a library used for routing in React applications. It enables navigation between different components of the frontend application.
## Requirements For Initial Setup
To set up and run the NFT marketplace locally, follow these steps:
### 1. Clone/Download the Repository
Clone or download the project repository from the source.
### 2. Install Dependencies
Navigate to the project directory and install the required dependencies using npm:
```bash
$ cd nft_marketplace
$ npm install
```
### 3. Boot up local development blockchain
Start a local Ethereum blockchain for development using Hardhat:
```bash
$ cd nft_marketplace
$ npx hardhat node
```
### 4. Connect development blockchain accounts to Metamask
- Copy the private keys of the generated accounts from the local blockchain and import them into MetaMask.
- Connect MetaMask to the Hardhat blockchain network (127.0.0.1:8545).
### 5. Migrate Smart Contracts
Deploy the smart contracts to the local blockchain:
```bash
$ npx hardhat run src/backend/scripts/deploy.js --network localhost
```
### 6. Run Tests
Execute tests to ensure the functionality of smart contracts:
```bash
$ npx hardhat test
```
### 7. Launch Frontend
Start the frontend application:
```bash
$ npm run start
```
