NFT Market

Welcome to the NFT Marketplace project, a decentralized marketplace for NFTs built with Hardhat, Ether, Solidity, Next.js, IPFS, and The Graph.

Overview

This repository contains the smart contracts, frontend application, and deployment scripts for a decentralized NFT marketplace. It supports the creation, buying, selling, and trading of NFTs securely on the Ethereum blockchain.

Features

• Smart Contracts: Implemented using Solidity, with Hardhat for development and testing.
• Frontend Application: Built with Next.js, providing a responsive and interactive user interface.
• IPFS Integration: Store and retrieve NFT metadata securely using IPFS.
• Event Listening: Utilized The Graph for efficient event indexing and querying.
• Test NFT Token: Included example ERC721 token for testing purposes.

   • Add the following variables:

     NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=<backend_api_url>

   • No need to add env if page is hosted on ipfs

4. Run the frontend app:

   npm run dev

5. Access the app at:

   http://localhost:3000.
