The problem CRYPTSTORE solves

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) give you ownership of artwork, music, videos, and other online collectibles. They exist on blockchains, the innovative technology that underlies cryptocurrencies like Ethereum. Our application provides a reliable and safe marketplace for profitable NFT transactions. On the bright side, Cryptstore is very user-friendly for beginners. You can set up an account for free within minutes and start browsing NFTs immediately. At its core, Our NFT marketplace matches buyers and sellers of NFT Tokens. Most essential functions like executing transactions and releasing funds are controlled by a smart contract or program instead of a person. In short, Cryptstore is a solid choice for beginners looking to get started with a straightforward marketplace and who want as many options as possible for NFTs. Since NFT marketplaces are still nowhere near the size, scale, and usage of their centralized counterparts, the challenge for nearly all of them is to get more buyers and sellers on their platforms. As with the rest of the crypto industry, adoption is key

Challenges we ran into

Cryptstore is a decentralized application that we built in this hackathon. To start with we choose React.js as the frontend framework. React has a lot of libraries and we chose mantine.dev as a supportive library for building the application. We went across some errors which we eventually resolved. API and its usage in the backend part of the application is one of the most crucial as it has some drawbacks, Most important time is the loading time the application takes. We went deep into APIs and came up with a better one. The functioning of contracts is the core of blockchain applications and building the required contract took some work. The connection of crypto wallets and establishing a secure transaction was very important. We used ether.js for establishing safe transactions. We were new to replicit and deployment of the application in replicit was a challenge indeed. Working in team and building applications is always fun. Hoping for the best
