ECDSA Node

This project 🚀 serves as an example for implementing a client-server architecture to facilitate transfers 🔄 between various addresses. As there is only a single server 🖥️ in the background managing the transfers, it is evidently a highly centralized project. For the scope of this project, we won't be focusing on distributed consensus 🌐.

Integration of public key cryptography 🔐 has been achieved! Leveraging elliptic curve digital signatures 🔏, we ensure that the server only permits transfers authorized by the rightful owner of the associated address, thereby enhancing security and authenticity ✅.

Client

The client folder contains a react app using vite. To get started, follow these steps:

1. Open up a terminal in the /client folder
2. Run npm install to install all the depedencies
3. Run npm run dev to start the application
4. Now you should be able to visit the app at http://127.0.0.1:5173/

Server

The server folder contains a node.js server using express. To run the server, follow these steps:

1. Open a terminal within the /server folder
2. Run npm install to install all the depedencies
3. Run node index to start the server

The application should connect to the default server port (3042) automatically!

Hint - Use nodemon instead of node to automatically restart the server on any changes.
