Tech stack Used

At Instanft, we've pieced together a dream team of technologies that work together seamlessly to create the ultimate cross-chain NFT gallery experience. First up, we've got React.js - a JavaScript library known for its speed and flexibility. With React, our platform is lightning fast and super responsive, so you can browse and interact with all your favorite NFTs without any delays.

We've also added some Next.js magic to take things to the next level. This framework makes it easy for us to build server-rendered React apps, which means your pages will load faster and be easier for search engines to crawl - it's like having a superhero on your side!

We've utilized TypeScript to give our platform an extra layer of security. This programming language is a superset of JavaScript, which means it's compatible with all the JavaScript libraries we've already used. But it also adds in some extra features that make it easier to write bug-free code.

And to add some extra flair to our platform, we've used Framer Motion to animate different elements. This library makes it easy to add animations that can trigger on hover, click, or scroll, giving our platform a dynamic and engaging feel.

For our database, we've turned to firebase - a cloud-based database that's easy to use and great for storing and retrieving data. We've also incorporated Chakra UI, a React component library that helps us build beautiful and responsive interfaces.

Of course, we can't forget about web3.js, an essential component for interacting with the Ethereum blockchain. And to top it all off, we've added some HTML and CSS to give our platform that extra shine.

To ensure our platform is always up and running smoothly, we've deployed it on Vercel, a top-notch hosting service. All of these technologies work together seamlessly to create the ultimate NFT gallery experience for you.

Tech Stack Used:

  • Next.JS
  • TypeScript
  • Firebase

This project gave me a chance to learn a lot of new technologies and frameworks. It helped me brush up on my React skills and learn some new ones. I also got to learn about TypeScript, Chakra UI, and Framer Motion, which were all new to me. I also got to learn about web3.js, which was a lot of fun to work with.

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to reach out to me on Twitter or LinkedIn. I'd love to hear from you!
