Decentralized social media explored! The application lets a user post and receive images to an anonymous network of contributors with the usage of Polygon as Layer 2.

The problem dAppGram solves

Decentralized social networks operate on independently run servers, rather than on a centralized server owned by a business

A decentralized social network allows users more control. Unlike centralized social networking platforms, federated networks foster independence without a central authority. Benefits include censorship resistance, ownership over personal data, and improved control over user-generated content.

Challenges I ran into

  1. Using truffle and adding polygon as a layer 2 involved a lot of debugging. Referred to the docs. Got errors like Timeout, PollingBlockTracker, Cb not detected. Accordingly worked on these via googling.
  2. Faced issue in connecting react with ipfs, referred to youtube tutorials and resolved that
  3. Overall completed the full stack application with a future scope to add more functionalities
