Using a Digital Signature Algorithm to facilitate transfers between addresses.

ECDSA Node

🛑 NOTE: This is an academic exercise for Alchemy University to gain familiarity with the ethereum-cryptography library.

No app should EVER request a private key.

---

This project is an example of using a client and server to facilitate transfers between different addresses. Since there is just a single server on the back-end handling transfers, this is clearly very centralised.

🖥️ Client

The client folder contains a react app using vite. To get started, follow these steps:

1. Open up a terminal in the /client folder
2. Run npm install to install all the depedencies
3. Run npm run dev to start the application
4. Now you should be able to visit the app at http://127.0.0.1:5173/

💽 Server

The server folder contains a node.js server using express. To run the server, follow these steps:

1. Open a terminal within the /server folder
2. Run npm install to install all the depedencies
3. Run node index to start the server

The application should connect to the default server port (3042) automatically!
