Skoop is a decentralized news platform built on the Ethereum blockchain. It allows users to access news articles securely and transparently without relying on a centralized authority. This README provides instructions on setting up the Skoop project locally.

• Node.js installed on your machine
• Metamask extension installed in your browser
• Solidity development environment (e.g., Hardhat)
• Truffle for deploying contracts (optional)

git clone https://github.com/sushilpandeyy/skoop.git
cd skoop

cd client
npm install

cd ../SmartContract
npm install

To interact with the Sepolia testnet, you will need some test Ether in your wallet. You can obtain test Ether from a Sepolia faucet or any other Ethereum testnet faucet.

cd client
npm run dev

No need to redeploy as the contracts are already deployed on the Sepolia testnet.

• Once the contracts are deployed and the frontend server is running, open your browser and navigate to the URL where the frontend is hosted (usually http://localhost:3000).
• Connect your Metamask wallet to the Sepolia testnet.
• Use the platform to access news articles. Note that adding as a user might require spending some test Ether.
