NFT Market Place

This is a pet project to create an NFT market place. It uses Solidity to write the smart contracts, leveraging Typescript with Hardhat.

It includes a small UI written with React to display and interact with the items in the market place.

Items in the MarketPlace (Capsules) are tokens based on the ERC721 standard, which include attributes and assets stored in the IPFS.

Getting started

Once you've cloned the repository, you'd want to install the dependencies and compile the contracts using hardhat.

$ npm install
$ npx hardhat compile

That will generate the artifacts and types needed to deploy the contracts.

Inside the hardhat.config.ts are the configurations for deployment. The project is configured to be deployed through Infura to Polygon's Mumbai test network, and mainnet, but you'll need to add/update an .env file, with a project INFURA_PROJECT_ID and METAMASK_PRIVATE_KEY

using hardhat you can run a node,

$ npx hardhat node

And then deploy the contracts there, locally

$ npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.ts --network localhost

The deployment script, will output the address for each contract, which you'll need to copy and paste to update the frontend environment variables inside client/.env.local

NEXT_PUBLIC_MARKET_CONTRACT_ADDRESS=XXXXXXXXXX
NEXT_PUBLIC_NFT_CONTRACT_ADDRESS=YYYYYYYYYY

After that, you should be able to install the dependencies and start the frontend

$ cd client
$ npm install
$ npm run dev
