CryptoGive - Empowering Giving, Transforming Lives
Inspiration
The inspiration behind CryptoGive came from a desire to revolutionize the way people contribute to charitable causes. We saw the need for a modern and efficient donation platform that leverages the power of cryptocurrency to enable seamless and impactful giving.
What it does
CryptoGive is a MERN stack project that empowers users to make effortless donations using the USD Coin (USDC) cryptocurrency. It offers a user-friendly interface where users can browse and select from various charitable causes. The platform utilizes Auth0 for secure authentication and Circle for swift and transparent transaction processing.
How we built it
We built CryptoGive using the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, Node.js) to create a seamless user experience. We integrated Auth0 for robust and secure user authentication, ensuring data privacy and protection. Circle's API was integrated to facilitate efficient and transparent cryptocurrency transactions for donations.
Challenges we ran into
Integrating multiple technologies posed challenges during the development process. Ensuring seamless communication between MERN components, Auth0, and Circle required careful planning and implementation. We also faced some learning curves while working with cryptocurrency transactions.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Every step of the project made us learn more. Every challenge taught us a new lesson. Every problem has a solution
What we learned
We started the project as developers who had FrontEnd experience, none of us knew anything in particular about UI/UX, Authentication, or Crypto. Throughout the project, we learned everything necessary for our work, we learned sharing work and working together can create anything. Our app is not fully functional now, as we could not complete it in time, but we are determined to complete it in the future.
What's next for CryptoGive
Looking ahead, there are a few features that are yet to be implemented and we are looking into it. We aim to expand the reach of CryptoGive by collaborating with more charitable organizations and integrating additional cryptocurrencies. We will continue enhancing the platform's features based on user feedback, ensuring that CryptoGive remains at the forefront of empowering giving and transforming lives globally.
