My First Ethereum Marketplace

This is a simple Ethereum-based marketplace I built while learning Web3 development. It lists products with images and lets users connect their wallet to buy them using ETH. The smart contract and wallet connection are scaffolded using Scaffold-ETH. I’m still exploring, experimenting, and learning – feedback is welcome!

This project is built using Scaffold-ETH 2, which gave me a ready-to-go Ethereum dApp development environment with smart contract integration, wallet connection, and frontend setup. I mainly worked on the frontend (Next.js + Tailwind CSS) to customize the UI and build a simple product listing interface with buy functionality. The contract and wallet logic were already scaffolded, which helped me focus on understanding how things connect.

I didn’t change much under the hood—just added product data, a pop-up modal for buying, and routed transactions to a fixed seller address. Since I’m new to Web3, this was a hands-on way to understand how smart contracts, wallets, and UI talk to each other. Nothing too hacky—just baby steps!
