Ethbnb 🏡⛓

Ethbnb is an Airbnb-like decentralised application (DApp) that runs on the Ethereum blockchain.

Its smart-contract is written in Solidity and the application frontend component in JavaScript. A backend component written in NodeJS is leveraged to support search and filter operations for listings.
