Ethereum Voting App

This project is a decentralized voting application built using the Ethereum blockchain. It leverages Web3.js, Truffle, Ganache, and MetaMask to provide a secure and transparent voting system with a user-friendly interface built with Bootstrap.

Features

• Decentralized Voting: Secure and transparent voting on the Ethereum blockchain.
• Smart Contracts: Utilize Ethereum smart contracts for managing votes.
• MetaMask Integration: Users can connect their MetaMask wallets to participate in voting.
• Truffle Framework: Develop, test, and deploy smart contracts.
• Ganache: Local blockchain for development and testing.

Technologies Used

• Ethereum: Blockchain platform for decentralized applications.
• Solidity: Programming language for writing smart contracts.
• Truffle: Development framework for Ethereum.
• Ganache: Personal Ethereum blockchain for development.
• Web3.js: JavaScript library for interacting with the Ethereum blockchain.
• MetaMask: Browser extension for interacting with Ethereum.
• Bootstrap: CSS framework for responsive and mobile-first web development.
• JavaScript/HTML/CSS: Frontend technologies for building the user interface.

Installation

• Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/your-username/ethereum-voting-app.git

• Navigate to the project directory:

cd ethereum-voting-app

• Install Truffle globally if you haven't already:

npm install -g truffle

• Install dependencies:

npm install

• Start Ganache:

  • Open Ganache and create a new workspace.
  • Copy the RPC server address (usually http://127.0.0.1:7545).

• Compile and migrate the smart contracts:

truffle compile
truffle migrate

• Start the development server:

npm run start

• Open your web browser and visit http://localhost:3000 to view the application.

Usage

• Ensure MetaMask is installed in your web browser.
• Connect MetaMask to the Ganache local blockchain by adding a custom RPC network with the Ganache RPC server address.
• Import one of the Ganache accounts into MetaMask using the private key.
• Open the application and participate in the voting process.

Smart Contract Details

• Voting.sol: Solidity smart contract that manages the voting process.
• Migration.sol: Solidity contract used by Truffle for migrations.
