CryptoClash

This project demonstrates a comprehensive use case of Hardhat, including an ERC20 token contract (CryptoClash), an upgradable ERC721 NFT contract (CryptoClashCat), IPFS integration, and a frontend application built with Next.js. The project showcases minting, token approval, and a simple battle game mechanic using NFTs.

Prerequisites

• Node.js
• npm or yarn
• Hardhat
• Alchemy (for Ethereum node)
• Metamask (for interacting with the deployed contracts)
• IPFS (for decentralized storage)

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Leroux63/CryptoClash.git
   cd CryptoClash

2. Install the dependencies:

   npm install
   # or
   yarn install

3. Set up environment variables: Create a .env file in the root directory and add the following:

   SEPOLIA_URL=https://eth-sepolia.alchemyapi.io/v2/your-alchemy-key
   SEPOLIA_URL_2=https://eth-sepolia.alchemyapi.io/v2/your-second-alchemy-key
   PRIVATE_KEY=your-wallet-private-key
   TOKEN_CONTRACT_ADDRESS=your-deployed-token-contract-address
   CONTRACT_NFT_ADDRESS=your-deployed-nft-contract-address
   

4. Set up frontend environment variables: Create a .env.local file in the crypto-clash-frontend directory and add the following:

   NEXT_PUBLIC_TOKEN_CONTRACT_ADDRESS=your-deployed-token-contract-address
   NEXT_PUBLIC_NFT_CONTRACT_ADDRESS=your-deployed-nft-contract-address
   NEXT_PUBLIC_RPC_URL=https://eth-sepolia.alchemyapi.io/v2/your-alchemy-key
   NEXT_PUBLIC_SEPOLIA_URL_2=https://eth-sepolia.alchemyapi.io/v2/your-second-alchemy-key
   

Usage

Compile the contracts

npx hardhat compile

Deploy the contracts

To deploy the CryptoClash contract:

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

To deploy the CryptoClashCat contract:

npx hardhat run scripts/deployNFTContract.js --network sepolia2

Make sure to update the deployment scripts to reflect the correct initialization parameters and contract addresses.

Run tests

To run the tests, ensure that your contracts are compiled and then run:

npx hardhat test

Start the frontend

1. Navigate to the frontend directory:

   cd crypto-clash-frontend

2. Install frontend dependencies:

   npm install
   # or
   yarn install

3. Start the frontend application:

   npm run dev

Copy artifacts to frontend

Copy the generated artifacts from the artifacts directory to the public directory in the frontend:

cp -r artifacts/contracts/* crypto-clash-frontend/public/
