Abstract:

This project introduces an innovative E- Commerce platform leveraging blockchain technology, specifically built on the Ethereum blockchain. The system employs a decentralized architecture, integrating Smart Contracts written in Solidity for secure and transparent transactions. Key technologies such as Metamask, React, Solidity, HardHat, and NodeJS are utilized, with Ethereum’s native cryptocurrency, Ether, serving as a primary component. The decentralized nature of the blockchain ensures immutability and transparency, fostering trust between buyers and sellers. Smart Contracts automate and secure business logic, enabling seamless transactions without intermediaries. The user-friendly interface, developed with React, enhances the overall user experience. Metamask integration provides secure wallet management, facilitating seamless user interaction with the Ethereum blockchain. The backend, powered by NodeJS, ensures scalability and efficiency for various aspects of the E- Commerce platform. Adhering to best practices, the development process utilizes the HardHat environment for Ethereum smart contracts, ensuring a robust and reliable codebase for enhanced security. In summary, this project exemplifies the transformative potential of blockchain technology in decentralizing and creating trust in traditional E-Commerce. By combining

Ethereum, Smart Contracts, and a modern tech stack, including React, Metamask, Solidity, HardHat, and NodeJS, the resulting platform offers users a secure, transparent, and efficient online shopping experience.
