## Project Overview
As Malaysia works toward its goal of increasing electric vehicle (EV) adoption, the need for a well-developed charging infrastructure becomes more urgent. With a target of 10,000 EV charging stations by 2025, **PowerStake** aims to close the gap through a community-driven approach.
**PowerStake** allows investors, developers, and the community to collaborate on funding and building EV charging stations. The platform provides a transparent, secure, and decentralized way to crowdfund EV charging stations while enabling users to view and vote for proposed projects in real-time.
---
## Project Structure
This project consists of two main parts:
- **Backend (Smart Contract)**
- **Frontend (Vite + React.js)**
### Prerequisites
Ensure you have the following installed:
- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) (v14+)
- [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/get-npm) or [yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/)
- [Metamask](https://metamask.io/download/) (For interaction with the Ethereum blockchain)
## How to Set Up the Project Locally
1. **Clone the repository**:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/JackyChung2003/My-Universiti-Hackathon-2024
cd My-Universiti-Hackathon-2024
```
### Backend Setup (Smart Contracts)
1. Navigate to the `backend-contract` directory:
```bash
cd backend-contract
```
2. Install the dependencies:
```bash
npm install
```
3. Compile the smart contracts:
```bash
npx hardhat compile
```
4. **Deploy to ThirdWeb**:
To deploy the smart contract using ThirdWeb, you’ll need an API key which can be obtained from [ThirdWeb API Key](https://thirdweb.com/dashboard/settings/api-keys). Once you have the API key, use the following command:
```bash
npx thirdweb deploy -k
```
Substitute `` with the actual API key from your ThirdWeb account.
### Frontend Setup
1. Navigate to the `frontend-vite-reactjs` directory from `backend-contract`:
```bash
cd ../frontend-vite-reactjs
```
or directly navigate into the `frontend-vite-reactjs` directory:
```bash
cd frontend-vite-reactjs
```
2. Install the dependencies:
```bash
yarn
```
3. Configure the `.env` file for frontend by creating a `.env` file in the `frontend-vite-reactjs` folder and add the following:
```bash
VITE_TEMPLATE_CLIENT_ID =
VITE_GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY =
```
client_id can be obtain from [ThirdWeb API Key](https://thirdweb.com/dashboard/settings/api-keys).
4. Start the development server:
```bash
yarn dev dev
```
5. Open the app in your browser at `http://localhost:5173/My-Universiti-Hackathon-2024/`.
## Features
- **Explore Nearby Charging Stations:**
Browse nearby EV charging stations on an interactive map, helping users find the closest available stations.
- **Suggest New Charging Stations:**
Users can suggest potential locations for new EV charging stations, adding to the community-driven development of infrastructure.
- **Vote for Proposals:**
Community members can vote on proposed EV charging station requests. This gives users the power to decide which locations are most needed.
- **Transparent Crowdfunding:**
Smart contracts ensure that all transactions are securely managed and visible on the Ethereum blockchain, promoting full transparency in the crowdfunding process.
- **Fund Allocation Tracking:**
Each campaign provides detailed information on fund allocation, deadlines, and includes voting mechanisms to approve or reject fund usage requests for project milestones.
