About The Project

An Ethereum Online Marketplace application with web user-interface and smart contract deployed on Rinkeby testnet.

Built With

• Truffle
• Ganache-CLI
• Web3.js
• jQuery

Getting Started

This project was made using Truffle and has a common file structure including a contracts folder, migrations folder, test folder and other main project files.

To get a local copy up and running follow these simple steps.

Prerequisites

• npm

npm install npm@latest -g

You may also need to install python3 for using 'python3 -m http.server'.

Installation

1. Clone the repo

gh repo clone ortegarod/consensys-academy-final-project

2. Install NPM packages

npm install

3. Run python local web server (localhost:8000)

python3 -m http.server

4. Open Firefox or Chrome (localhost:8000)

*The project can also be deployed on a local test blockchain such as Ganache-CLI. To deploy to Ganache-CLI, run 'ganache-cli' and then use command 'truffle migrate --network development' and edit abi.js to update the deployed contract address. Open the browser and connect Metamask to Ganache-CLI.

Usage

This project aims to replicate the experience of an online e-commerce marketplace by using only a smart contract on Ethereum acting as an intemediary between the buyer and seller. The UI is served using simple HTML/JavaScript web pages and web3 to make contract calls.

The user must have a web3 enabled web browser and Metamask installed (connect to Rinkeby testnet). The smart contract is deployed and functional on the Rinkeby testnet (Rinkeby testnet Ether required).

Contract Address (Rinkeby Testnet): 0x6487a3ce399561674976F933676c0ed40Ec5Bb19
