Decentralized E-commerce Platform

This project was developed during Hacker House Goa, where we built a decentralized e-commerce platform that integrates Web3 technologies to enhance transparency, security, and user control. The platform leverages blockchain to redefine the online shopping experience with crypto-based transactions and smart contract automation.

Project Overview

Our platform is designed to offer a secure, transparent, and decentralized shopping experience. Key features include:

Web3 Wallet Integration

• Users authenticate via Web3 wallets like MetaMask for decentralized access.
• Eliminates traditional sign-ups, ensuring data privacy and user control.

Cryptocurrency Transactions

• Enables product purchases using multiple cryptocurrencies.
• All transactions are immutable and recorded on the blockchain for transparency.

Smart Contract-Driven Order Management

• Automates transactions and fund release upon order confirmation.
• Reduces fraud and removes reliance on third parties.

Blockchain-Based Payment Gateway

• Facilitates fast, decentralized payments.
• Supports currency conversion for seller convenience.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React.js, Web3.js
• Blockchain: Ethereum, Solidity
