GAME OF BLOCKS

This is the repository for the SnT Council's project 'Game of blocks'.

In this project we were taught about :

• Basics of blockchains
• Consensus mechanisms
• Ethereum and smart contracts
• Solidity - a programming language
• Game theory
• Decentralization in auctions, voting, school choice mechanisms etc

Mentor: Atharv Singh Patlan

This repository contains all the assignments that we were supposed to do. Along with each assignment, there is a corresponding README.md file explaining what it is about.

Assignment 1: Making Nonce less than the target

Input a string and give the output as the nonce such that the hash is less than the target hash, which is 0x00000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.

---

Assignment 2: Making a basic smart Contract

Implemented with Solidity, User has to, preferably, either use Remix IDE or Truffle with npm.
Two contracts implemented are MetaCoins and Loans which acts as a loan deposit and settling contract.

---

Assignment 3: Implementing a Voting Mechanism

Implemented in Solidity, the contract implements a voting mechanism Single Non-Transferable Vote (SNTV). Through this contract, we have ensured that the process of voting is decentralized.

---

Assignment 4: Implementing an Auction Mechanism.

Implemented in Solidity, this is a smart contract which is based on the school choice mechanism Columbus Student Assignment Mechanism.

EXTRA

A webpage which takes in a wallet address on ethereum cryptocurrency chain. Link

• It works using Web3 and focusses on the ethereum cryptocurrency chain.
• It gives you the metadata of all the NFTs owned by a particular address.
• It can also take in a user address and give you the account balance or the history of transactions.
