Challenges I ran into

Initially, It was a little challenging to adopt to a new Blockchain like Mantle, but after going through their documentation, most of the hiccups were cleared. Coming to the implementation of the app, there were great resources available on internet for building crowdfunding platforms. Deploying Smart Contract to Mantle Network and leveraging the existing frameworks to implement this idea required quite some time. Also, fetching and parsing data from Mantle testnet took a while but had it done finally.
