Dev Junction

Overview

Dev Junction is a blockchain-based payment platform where clients can hire developers for project-based or session-based work. The platform ensures secure transactions by requiring clients to prepay developers before a session begins. This guarantees that developers are compensated fairly while providing a seamless and transparent hiring experience.

Features

• Blockchain-Powered Payments: Secure and transparent transactions using MetaMask.
• Developer Hiring System: Clients can easily find and hire developers based on their project needs.
• Escrow Payment Model: Funds are held securely until the session is completed.
• Integrated Video Call: Powered by Zigo Cloud, enabling seamless communication between clients and developers.
• Tech Stack: Built using MERN (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js) and Next.js for a scalable and efficient system.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: React.js, Next.js
• Backend: Node.js, Express.js
• Database: MongoDB
• Blockchain Integration: MetaMask
• Video Call Service: Zego Cloud

Installation & Setup

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Anan014d/Dev-Junction.git
   cd dev-junction

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Configure environment variables:

   • Create a .env file in the root directory
   • Add necessary keys for MongoDB, MetaMask, and Vigo Cloud API

How It Works

1. Client Browses & Selects a Developer: Clients can search for developers based on skills and experience.
2. Prepayment via Blockchain: Clients pay upfront using MetaMask.
3. Session Execution: The developer and client connect via Vigo Cloud’s video call service.
4. Payment Release: Upon session completion, funds are released to the developer.
