CryptoDevsDAO - A DAO for Crypto Developers

A DAO for holders of CryptoDevs NFTs. From the ETH that was gained through an ICO, a DAO Treasury has been built up. CryptoDevs NFT holders can create and vote on proposals to use that ETH for purchasing other NFTs from an NFT marketplace, and speculate on price. This app was built for the Sophomore track at LearnWeb3DAO.

This version's smart contracts have been deployed to the Goerli testnet. You can check out the deployed testnet app here: https://crypto-devs-dao-beige.vercel.app/

How to interact with the deployed testnet app

The contract has been deployed to Ethereum Goerli for testing purposes. You can find out more about it here. You need test funds to interact with the app. There are several faucets you can use to get Goerli testnet Ether for free. Here’s one example that has worked well for me in the past: https://goerlifaucet.com/

If you’re brand new to web3: To get started, you first need a wallet such as Metamask to receive testnet funds and start interacting with the app.

Installing / Getting started with the project

To install the Whitelist-Dapp, you will need to install the necessary dependencies for both the “backend” (= the blockchain part) and the frontend. Once all of the dependencies are installed and you're done editing, you can deploy the whitelist smart contract to the Ethereum (test) network and deploy the frontend to a hosting service of your choice, e.g. Vercel.

1.) Fork and clone this repository to your local machine

Fork this repo, then clone it to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/CryptoDevsDAO.git

2.) Blockchain Part

Run the following commands in your CLI:

cd CryptoDevsDAO/blockchain-pt
npm init --yes
npm install --save-dev hardhat
npx hardhat
npm install dotenv

Create an endpoint on QuickNode, or any other provider of your choice, and copy the HTTP-URL. Create a .env file and follow the structure of the .env-example file to add your QuickNode URL and your private key. DO NOT upload this file to GitHub! It is already included in .gitignore but better double-check. 🙂

Once you’re done editing, run:

npx hardhat compile 
npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network goerli 

3.) The Frontend Part

The frontend is built with Next.js. You need to have Node.js installed.

Run the following commands to set-up your project and start the development server:

cd frontend
rm package-lock.json
npm install
npm run dev

You should now be able to open the frontend in your browser on localhost:3000.

Possible errors & fixes

This project is built with node ^18. If you get an error message, you might have to update Node.js. To check your Node version, run:

node -v

If you find a yarn-lock.json file, this might cause problems with installing npm in your project. Remove it and install npm again, then start your development server:

rm yarn-lock.json
npm install
npm run dev

Once you’re done with the above, run:

npm install web3modal
npm install ethers

Open constants.js and change the value of the CRYPTODEVS_DAO_CONTRACT_ADDRESS variable to the address of the contract you deployed via hardhat earlier. Then change the value of the abi variable to your own ABI array. You can find it here: `blockchain-pt/artifacts/contracts/CryptoDevsDAO.sol/CryptoDevsDAO.json
