Buy Me a Coffee DeFi dapp

Live Site

Buy Me A Coffee is a popular website that creators, educators, entertainers, and all kinds of people use to create a landing page where anyone can send some amount of money as a thank you for their services. However, in order to use it, you must have a bank account and a credit card. Not everyone has that!

A benefit of decentralized applications built on top of a blockchain is that anyone from around the world can access the app using just an Ethereum wallet, which anyone can set up for free in under 1 minute. Let's see how we can use that to our advantage!

This project is a deployed(Goerli Testnet) decentralized "Buy Me a Coffee" smart contract that allows visitors to send you (fake) ETH as tips and leave nice messages, using Alchemy, Hardhat, Ethers.js, and Ethereum Goerli.

Getting started with the smart contract

1. Clone the repository and run yarn install or npm install

2. Compile the contract by running npx hardhat compile

3. Deploy the smart contract in the localhost network : npx hardhat run --network localhost scripts/deploy.js

You can target any network from your Hardhat config using: npx hardhat run --network <your-network> scripts/deploy.js

Congrats! You have compiled and deployed the smart contract.

Getting started with the frontend of the DeFi dapp

1. Change the directory to the clients folder : cd client

2. Install the dependencies needed to run the project: yarn install or npm install

3. Run yarn dev or npm run dev to start the project locally.

Have Fun!
