Web3 Twitter

This is a decentralized social media platform inspired by Twitter, built using modern Web3 technologies. It allows users to connect their crypto wallets, post tweets, and interact with others in a censorship-resistant and blockchain-backed environment.

🚀 Features

• Wallet Authentication: Log in using your crypto wallet (e.g., MetaMask).
• Post Tweets: Publish messages securely on the blockchain.
• 140-Character Limit: Tweets are limited to 140 characters, ensuring concise communication.
• Decentralized Ownership: All user-generated content is stored on-chain, providing ownership and immutability.

🛠️ Tech Stack

Frontend

• Next.js: Server-side rendering and dynamic routing.
• TypeScript: Type-safe development for scalability.
• Tailwind CSS: Modern, responsive UI design.
• Thirdweb: Simplified Web3 integration for wallet connection and contract interaction.

Backend / Smart Contracts

• Solidity: Smart contracts for handling tweets and interactions.
• Hardhat: Development and deployment framework for Ethereum-compatible networks.

Deployment

• Smart Contracts: Deployed on an Ethereum-compatible blockchain (e.g., Polygon or Ethereum testnets).
