Ethereum based Decenteralised Application, to ensure a secure fundraising platform/website and to ensure zero frauds on name of crowd funding, like kickstart.com, using smart contracts and Next.Js on frontend. An entrepreneur has to create a campaign then raise a request for a meaningful funding. The request gets approved by atleast half of approvers to recieve funding for that request only. (Both approver and manager of a campaign has to pay in ethers to create/donate a campaign). The amount does not reside in entrepreneur's account, it directly goes to recipent who provides resources. Which ensures no fundraising scams.

To run this project, you will need to add the following environment variables to your .env file

MNEUMONIC : Your metamask mnemonic. RINKEBY: Link of where you have deployed your smart contract on rinkeby. PRIVATE_KEY: Private key of your MetaMask. DEPLOYED_ADDRESS: Address where your contract is deployed using remix.

Install my-project with npm Following dependencies with the given version only should be installed before running the project on local.

Run: "npm i" In root directory.

"dependencies": { "dotenv": "^16.0.1", "express": "^4.18.1", "fs-extra": "^10.1.0", "ganache": "^7.3.1", "mocha": "^10.0.0", "module": "^1.2.5", "next": "^12.2.1", "nodemon": "^2.0.19", "react": "^18.2.0", "react-dom": "^18.2.0", "semantic-ui-css": "^2.4.1", "semantic-ui-react": "^2.1.3", "solc": "^0.8.15", "truffle-hdwallet-provider": "0.0.3", "web3": "^1.7.4", "web3-eth-contract": "^1.7.4" }

Make sure to add "dev": "nodemon server.js" in "scripts" in package.json "scripts": { "test": "mocha", "dev": "nodemon server.js" },

Clone the project

  git clone https://github.com/prayas7102/Blockchain-Secure-Fundraising-Platform/

Go to the project root directory

Install dependencies

  npm install

Start the server

  nodemon server.js

Client: React, Semantic-ui, HTML, Next.js

Server: Smart Contract in Solidity and Express.Js

1. While making any changes in contract, do consider running:: "nodemon compile.js" -> "nodemon deploy.js".

2. To run tests on smart contract, Go to :: /test/Campaign.test.js Run npm run test

3. Also add/remove "type" : "module" in package.json if there's an error for es2016 import statements.

1. Better UI.
2. Separate login for approvers and entrepreneurs.
3. Discussuion forums like reddit for approvers to decide whether to contribute or not.
4. Images for requests using IPFS.
5. Profile page for entrepreneurs and approvers, on which there will be listed various businesses campaign created by them and which one turned to be successful/unsuccessful, which will reflect their credibility whenever they create new request.
6. Users can report spam if they feel an entrepreneur is a fraud. If more than half of the users report it, that entrepreneur will be restricted from creating new business campaign in future.
7. Rewards to be distributed amongst the sponsors if the business campaign turns to be very successful.

Blockchain technology is changing rapidly everyday, so it's important to keep the project updated in accordance to the recent documentation. I faced a lot of challenge while using web3.js and solidity, because of the same reason.
