Inspiration
I was inspired by the potential of blockchain technology to facilitate secure and transparent data sharing.
How we built it
To build my project, I first researched various blockchain platforms and settled on Ethereum as the most suitable for my needs. I then designed a smart contract for storing and sharing files and developed a web-based frontend using React. I used IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) to store the files via Pinata API and integrated Metamask to facilitate transactions on the Ethereum network. Then I deployed my smart contract on Mantle as my base layer.
Challenges we ran into
One of the biggest challenge I faced was Designing the front-end. Also deploying on spheron was a bit challenging task. Thanks to the discord mentors for helping me out with the deployment process.
What we learned
During the development of my project, I learned about the IPFS network, Pinata and also how to deploy your smart contract on Mantle.
What's next for BlockShare
We plan to grow the BlockShare community by reaching out to new users.
