EnergyPro - Decentralized Energy Trading Platform

EnergyPro is an open source, decentralized marketplace for peer-to-peer energy trading. Built with Next.js, MongoDB, and Solana blockchain integration, EnergyPro empowers individuals and organizations to buy and sell renewable energy directly, securely, and transparently.

Why EnergyPro?

Traditional energy markets are centralized and often inaccessible to small producers and consumers. EnergyPro leverages blockchain technology to democratize energy trading, enabling a greener and more efficient energy ecosystem.

Features

• Unified Dashboard: Seamlessly list energy for sale, browse available offers, and purchase energy—all from a single, intuitive dashboard.
• Secure Authentication: Powered by Civic Auth for enterprise-grade security and seamless user experience.
• Blockchain-Powered Transactions: All trades are recorded on the Solana blockchain for transparency and security.
• Solana Wallet Integration: Connect your Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare, etc.) for direct, trustless payments.
• Scalable Seller Support: Currently, the seller address is hardcoded for demonstration. The architecture is designed to easily support multiple sellers in the future.
• Open Source: Built for the community, by the community. Contributions are welcome!

How It Works

1. Sign in with Civic Auth to access the platform securely.
2. Connect your Solana wallet to enable blockchain transactions.
3. List energy for sale or browse available energy on the dashboard.
4. Buy or sell energy—all transactions are securely processed and recorded on-chain.
