LotteryForge

This repository contains the smart contract code and front-end application for a decentralized lottery application built on Ethereum. Participants can enter the lottery by paying an entry fee, and a winner is randomly selected to receive the prize amount when the lottery ends.

Project Structure

• contracts/: Solidity smart contracts for the lottery system.
  • Lottery.sol: Main contract for the lottery logic.
• artifacts/: Contains build artifacts and contract ABIs generated by Hardhat.
• lottery-dapp/: Front-end application for interacting with the lottery contract.
  • src/: Source code for the React application.
  • public/: Public assets like icons and manifest files.
• scripts/: Deployment scripts for deploying the contracts to a network.
• test/: Contains tests for the smart contracts.
• typechain-types/: TypeScript typings for the smart contracts, generated by TypeChain.

Features

• Smart Contract Interaction: Users can participate in the lottery, view current participants, and see the winner once the lottery ends.
• Metamask Integration: The front-end application integrates with Metamask for Ethereum transactions.
• Localization Support: The application supports multiple languages, enhancing accessibility for a wider audience.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js
• Yarn
• Metamask extension installed in your browser.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone <repository-url>

2. Change to the project directory:

cd lottery-dapp
yarn install

3.Compile the smart contracts:

npx hardhat compile

4. Deploy the contracts to a network (e.g., testnet):

npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.ts --network <network-name>

5. Start the front-end application:

yarn start

6. Testing To run the tests for the smart contracts, use:

npx hardhat test
