Build a full stack NFT Marketplace using Solidity & Next js

Are you interested in the world of NFTs? This comprehensive course guides you through building a fully functional NFT marketplace on the Ethereum blockchain, adhering to the widely adopted ERC721 standard. Learn how to create a platform where users can seamlessly buy and sell NFTs using Ether.

This hands-on tutorial takes you from the ground up, starting with a brand new Hardhat project and installing all necessary dependencies. You'll master the art of writing and rigorously testing smart contracts with Solidity. Then, you'll develop the user-friendly front-end using Next.js to connect with your smart contracts. Crucially, discover how to store rich NFT metadata securely using Pinata, an IPFS-based storage solution.

Here's what you'll learn:

• Full-Stack NFT Marketplace Development: Build a complete marketplace application.
• Solidity Smart Contracts: Write, test, and deploy smart contracts for NFT management.
• Ethereum Blockchain Integration: Interact with the Ethereum network using Ethers.js.
• Front-End Development with Next.js: Create a responsive and intuitive user interface.
• IPFS Storage with Pinata: Securely store NFT metadata.
• Hardhat Development Environment: Utilize Hardhat for efficient smart contract development and testing.

Prerequisites:

To get the most out of this course, you should have:

• Node.js and VS Code installed.
• MetaMask wallet extension installed in your browser with test Goerli ethers.
• Basic understanding of Solidity, Hardhat, and Next.js.

The Tech Stack:
