Web3 Ticket Booking as NFTs

Project-Preview.mov

This project implements an NFT ticketing system inspired by Ticketmaster! 🎟️ Leveraging blockchain technology, this feature enhances security, authenticity, and fan engagement by providing verifiable NFT tickets 🔒, leveraging smart contracts written in Solidity and interacting with the blockchain using Ethers.js. Thanks to DAPP University for the great learning resources! 🙌

Technology Stack & Tools

• Solidity: Writing Smart Contracts & Tests (Version: ^0.8.9)
• Javascript: React & Testing
• Hardhat: Development Framework (Version: ^2.12.7)
• Ethers.js: Blockchain Interaction (Version: ^5.7.2)
• React.js: Frontend Framework (Version: ^18.2.0)
• MetaMask: Browser Extension for Blockchain Interaction
• Node.js: JavaScript runtime (Version: v18.20.5)

Requirements For Initial Setup

1. Install Node.js: Recommended to use the LTS version (v18.20.5).
2. Install MetaMask: Add MetaMask extension to your browser for interacting with the Ethereum network.

Setting Up

1. Clone/Download the Repository

   Clone this repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/your-username/ticketmaster-web3.git

2. Install Dependencies

   Navigate to the project folder and install the required dependencies:

   cd ticketmaster-web3
   npm install

3. Run Tests

   Execute the tests to ensure everything is set up correctly:

   npx hardhat test

4. Start Hardhat Node

   Start the local Hardhat network for deployment:

   npx hardhat node

5. Run Deployment Script

   In a separate terminal, run the deployment script to deploy the smart contract to the local Hardhat network:

   npx hardhat run ./scripts/deploy.js --network localhost

6. Start Frontend

   Start the React frontend to interact with the deployed smart contract:

   npm run start

Features

• NFT Ticket Booking: Users can book tickets as NFTs on the blockchain.
• Equal Ticket Distribution: Tickets are distributed fairly to prevent hoarding.
• MetaMask Integration: MetaMask is used for wallet connection and transactions.
• Smart Contract Testing: Comprehensive tests are written in Solidity to ensure security and functionality.
