TaskBounty

A decentralized, blockchain-based platform that allows users to post tasks, set bounties, and complete tasks to earn rewards without relying on a central authority. This project leverages Web3 technologies to provide a secure, user-owned task management system. Currently, the app is still under beta testing, which is why it has been deployed on Devnet for development and testing purposes.

Introduction

This project is a decentralized application (DApp) that enables users to create tasks, set bounties, and complete tasks for rewards. The decentralized nature of this platform ensures that users have full ownership of their tasks and rewards, with no central entity controlling the platform.

Features

Decentralized User Authentication: Secure and private user authentication using wallets (e.g., MetaMask).
Post Tasks: Users can create, edit, and delete their tasks stored on the blockchain.
Set and Claim Bounties: Users can set bounties for tasks, and other users can claim them upon completion.
Censorship Resistance: Task and bounty data is stored on a decentralized network, making it resistant to censorship.
User-Owned Data: Users have full ownership of their data, including tasks and bounties.

Technology Stack

Blockchain: Solana
Frontend: Next.js, Web3.js
Backend: Node.js, Express.js
Database: PostgreSQL
Wallet Integration: MetaMask, Phantom, Solflare, Alpha

Prerequisites

Node.js and npm installed
Phantom, Solflare, or Alpha wallet extensions for Solana

Contributing

Thank you for your interest in contributing to TaskBounty! To set up the project for development and start contributing, follow the steps below:

Step 1: Fork and Clone the Repository

Fork the repository on GitHub to your account.
Clone your forked repository locally using the command:
```
git clone git@github.com:Parvsharma04/TaskBounty.git
```
Navigate into the project directory:
```
cd TaskBounty
```

Step 2: Set Up the Backend

Navigate to the backend directory:
```
cd backend
```
Install dependencies and run the app:
```
npm install
npm run dev
```
The backend should now be running on http://localhost:3000.

Step 3: Set Up the Frontend

Navigate to the frontend client directories:
```
cd ../parent
```
Install dependencies and run the app:
```
npm install
npm run dev
```
The frontend app should be running on http://localhost:3001.
Similarly, navigate to the Client directory:
```
cd ../client
```
Install dependencies and run the app:
```
npm install
npm run dev
```
The secondary frontend app should be running on http://localhost:3002.
Similarly, navigate to the Worker/Tester directory:
```
cd ../tester
```
Install dependencies and run the app:
```
npm install
npm run dev
```
The secondary frontend app should be running on http://localhost:3003.

Step 4: Set Up Wallet and Connect to Devnet

Install any of the wallets on your browser and create a wallet if you haven't already.
Shift the netork from Mainnet to Devnet.
Connect your wallet to the DApp after running the frontend.

Step 5: Testing

Run tests using:
```
npm run build
```
Make sure there are no errors in the build before pushing changes.

Step 6: Submitting Changes

Create a new branch for your feature or bug fix:
```
git checkout -b feature-branch
```
