Solution

This project uses MetaMask wallet as a Signer. The frontend is developed using Next.js and styled by Tailwind.css. For file storage(posts and media) IPFS is used as a decentralised storage system and each NFT is stored in nft.storage. The backend is developed in Solidity and Hardhat is used for local development and deployed on polygon mumbai testnet. IPFS is the crucial part of the Dapp because any social media requires a large amount of data storage and IPFS was the best option available. All the metadata related to profile, posts are stored in IPFS.
