Start2Impact Blockchain Final Project

This is my Blockchain Final project for Start2Impact.

The main purpose of this project is to build an auction platform to sell limited edition shoes for an eco-friendly footwear company using Django, Redis and Web3PY.

BlockSneakers is an auction platform designed to sell limited edition shoes for an eco-friendly footwear company. The platform allows users to register and log into the platform and gives a welcome bonus of 5000€ to every new user to start making bids. Customers can place bids on open auctions and easily monitor their wallet balance and won auctions. When an auction concludes, BlockSneakers sends an Ethereum Sepolia transaction containg the sha256 hash of the auction JSON report. BlockSneakers embraces transparent auctions, empowering users to independently verify results using the secure and immutable blockchain technology.

Django is a powerful and popular Python based web framework for building web applications.
Redis is an in-memory NoSQL database used for fast data storage and retrieval.
Web3PY is a Python library that provides developers easy interaction with Ethereum blockchain.
