Smart Contract

The NFTMinting.sol contract allows users to register, mint NFTs, and includes features like blacklisting. It's deployed on the Sepolia testnet at address: 0xb874b8d0165212a840Ac41d92866b1d7a4a50196.

Key features:

• User registration
• NFT minting
• Blacklist functionality
• Owner-only functions for managing fees and blacklist

Frontend

The frontend is built with React and TypeScript. It provides a user interface for connecting wallets, registering users, minting NFTs, and viewing NFT collections.

Key components:

• Wallet connection
• User registration
• NFT minting

Backend

The backend is a Node.js application that listens to events from the smart contract and stores them in a MongoDB database. It provides an API for querying events related to specific addresses.

Key features:

• Event listening and storage
• API for retrieving events by address

Setup and Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/your-username/NFT-Ceres-Task.git
cd NFT-Ceres-Task

2. Install dependencies:

Smart Contract

npm install

Frontend

cd frontend
npm install

Backend

cd ../backend
npm install

3. Set up environment variables:

• Create a .env file in the contracts directory with your private key and Alchemy project ID:

PRIVATE_KEY=your_private_key
ALCHEMY_API_KEY=your_alchemy_api_key

• Create a .env file in the backend directory with the following:

MONGODB_URI=your_mongodb_connection_string
CONTRACT_ADDRESS=contract_address
RPC_URL=your_ethereum_node_url

4. Compile, test, and deploy the smart contract:

npx hardhat compile
npx hardhat test
npx hardhat ignition deploy ignition/modules/NFTMinting.ts --network sepolia

5. Start the applications:

Frontend

cd frontend
npm start

Backend

cd ../backend
npm start

Usage

1. Connect your wallet (MetaMask recommended) to the Sepolia testnet.
2. Register as a user by paying the registration fee.
3. Mint NFTs by paying the minting fee.
4. Use the backend API to retrieve event data for specific addresses.
