# SafeBit
SafeBit is a Web3-based file-sharing DApp built using React and Solidity.
It lets users upload files and securely share access to them via the blockchain.
Everything runs on smart contracts and IPFS (no centralized server needed).
## About
This is a college-level project made for learning and demonstration purposes. It allows users to:
- Connect their MetaMask wallet
- Upload files to IPFS
- Store and share access via smart contracts
- View personal and shared files
- Use a simple and modern UI with React and TailwindCSS
Currently, only local-host is supported. Working on deploying it on polygon.
> You’ll need MetaMask installed and connected to a testnet like Goerli.
Here’s a preview of the dApp:
## Tech Stack
### Frontend
- React
- Vite
- TailwindCSS
- Ethers.js
### Backend
- Solidity Smart Contract (`Upload.sol`)
- Hardhat for deployment
- IPFS (via Lighthouse(NFT.storage) As well as Pinata)
## Pre-requisites
```bash
Initialize metamask account with hardhat testnet
Then Initialize a .env file with API token and secret
```
## Installation
```bash
npm install
```
#### To deploy the smart contract (in Hardhat):
```bash
npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network localhost
```
```bash
npx hardhat node
```
## Local Development
To run the frontend:
```bash
npm run dev
```
### Notes
- You need to configure .env with your Pinata API keys and contract addresses.
- For testing, use Hardhat local network or Goerli.
