Technologies Used

• Blockchain: Ethereum, Solidity
• Frontend: React.js
• Backend: Node.js (Express Framework)
• Database: Ethereum Blockchain
• Smart Contracts: Solidity

Deployment Details

The TicketHive Dapp is deployed on the Ethereum test network using Remix IDE and MetaMask for wallet integration. The smart contract code is written in Solidity and deployed to the test network using Remix. The contract address and ABI (Application Binary Interface) are then updated in the frontend code for interaction with the deployed contract.

Remix IDE Deployment Steps:

1. Open Remix IDE (https://remix.ethereum.org/) in your web browser.
2. Copy the smart contract code from solidity/ticket.sol and paste it into the Remix editor.
3. Compile and deploy the contract using the appropriate compiler version.
4. After deployment, copy the contract address and update it in the src/Details.js file.
5. Obtain the ABI from Remix and update it in the src/contractABI.js file.

SepoliaETH Usage:

SepoliaETH is used as the Ethereum test network for deploying and testing the smart contract. It provides a sandbox environment for developers to interact with Ethereum blockchain without using real Ether.

Additional Configurations

To make the TicketHive Dapp work seamlessly, ensure the following configurations:

• Change the ABI in Remix IDE and update it in the src/contractABI.js file.
• Update the contract address in the src/Details.js file after deployment.
• Modify the MySQL database connection details in the src/server.js file to match your environment.

Files Overview

• Smart Contract: solidity/ticket.sol
• MySQL Database Schema: database/schema.sql

Technologies Used

The TicketHive Dapp leverages a variety of technologies to provide a seamless and secure ticket booking experience:

• Node.js: Node.js is used for the backend server environment, providing a runtime environment for executing JavaScript code outside the browser.
