HackaSphere

The Hackathon Sponsorship Platform is a decentralized application (dApp) designed to connect hackathon organizers with potential sponsors, enabling secure and transparent funding for hackathon events using blockchain technology. Built with React and Web3, this platform offers a streamlined interface where users can either host or sponsor hackathons by interacting with the AIA blockchain.

Key Features: Host Hackathons: Organizers can initiate hackathons by filling out a form with details like event name, description, and funding wallet address. Sponsor Hackathons: Potential sponsors can view available hackathons and sponsor them directly in HACKSP tokens, transferring funds securely through a smart contract on the blockchain. Wallet Integration: The platform integrates with MetaMask, allowing users to connect their wallets and manage sponsorship transactions securely. Real-time Account Updates: The application listens for account changes in MetaMask, updating the connected wallet address dynamically. Technology Stack: Frontend: React for the user interface, allowing dynamic tab switching between "Host" and "Sponsor" views. Blockchain Interaction: Web3.js and Ethers.js are used to connect with the Ethereum blockchain, manage wallet connections, and handle HACKSP token transfers. Smart Contracts: Sponsorship transactions are processed on-chain using a custom smart contract deployed on Ethereum, ensuring transparency and traceability. This platform simplifies the process of hackathon sponsorship, creating a seamless and secure way to support innovation in the blockchain community.
