A re-imagined version of the traditional social media platform - Twitter, but it's decentralized. Built with blockchain technology ensuring transparency, user control and anonymity (pseudonymity) - here you control what you post using smart contracts on Ethereum, and every interaction is recorded securely on the blockchain.
Development is still under progress
Blockchain-Powered: Every tweet, like, or post is stored and verified using Ethereum smart contracts, so nobody can tamper with your data.
Anonymity First: Stay anonymous (pseudonymous) whenever you want to. No personal data is stored in this case except for the wallet address using which a UUID is generated. (Nature of Ethereum is pseudonymous because transactions and wallet address are publicly visible)
Your Data, Your Control: There are no central servers. Your posts are managed through smart contracts which means only you are in control of what you decide to post. Share images/videos through Pinata IPFS, with the IPFS hash (media CID) linked to your post on the blockchain.
Ethereum Wallet Login: Simply connect with your MetaMask wallet to go pseudonymous and continue to post, read, and engage with others. All interactions are between your wallet and the blockchain.
Clone the repository if you haven't already
git clone https://github.com/Dyslex7c/Decentralized-Twitter
Install dependencies in both the directories, client and server
Firstly, launch the database using Docker
docker compose up dev-db -d
Make sure PostgreSQL database is running in the background
After that, set up Prisma
npx prisma generate
npx prisma studio
Finally, run the server
npm run start:dev
Spin up a local blockchain node with hardhat (optional if you want to deploy the contract on a testnet)
npx hardhat node
Deploy your contract
make deploy
Finally, run npm start and you're good to go.
