deeco

"deeco" is an amazing web3 e-commerce Dapp, with crypto based payment - think an Ali express | Amazon | Ebay - web3/blockchain and crypto version. "deeco" is built as my submission for the hackathon phase of the Polygon Africa Bootcamp 2022.

"deeco is an amazing" e-commerce solution that will take advantage of the many benefits of blockchain technology and web3. It is an amazing app with payments to be powered directly by crypto tokens/coins.

"deeco" has a global scope - Thanks to the borderless power of cryptocurrency and the power of blockchain payments.

The project seeks to solve two(2) main problems.

1. The problem of limits - blockings and watchings: Limits set by financial institutions, can truly be advantageous, but these limits might sometimes be exploited to the disadvantage of the customers. Deeco is a project that removes all those blocking limits like credit card deposit and transfer limits. It provides the everyday e-commerce user with the power of so much freedom, transparency, and even security - if the smart contracts are well developed and audited.

2. The problem of public exclusion: Many folks out there, have probably only been hearing about cryptocurrency, blockchain and web3, but have never had a full experience or even a basic knowledge of the many awesome benefits of these innovations. My intentional entrance into the web3 and the blockchain world, left me wowed at the many awesome super powers of web3 and blockchain technology. Being able to build a platform like deeco where public interaction can be easily enhanced, to bring more public inclusion from regular people on the streets, is truly a pleasure.

Build stack/technologies

This repository consist of both the client/front-end and blockchain/smart contract aspects of the project.

Being a one man team in this hackathon made building deeco very challenging. It was an experience of a lifetime. "deeco" was built with so much 💝 by me, below is a list of the main awesome technologies that I used.

1. NextJs/ReactJs
2. TailwindCSS
3. React contect API
