Project Description

This project was initially supposed to be an app that connects to a user's wallet and show their assets, tracking their assets, but due to time constraint I switched a more front end and less backend techy web app that just allows users to see the price changes of various crypto currency.

How it's Made

For this project, I built the front-end application with Next.js as the framework. Next.js is a React-based framework that supports server-side rendering, making it ideal for displaying dynamic data. I used the Binance API to get cryptocurrency updates for my Next.js app. The Binance API provides real-time information on cryptocurrency prices, market trends, and other pertinent data. I was able to obtain the necessary data for displaying cryptocurrency changes in my application by utilising this API. In terms of how these technologies were put together, I used Next.js to build the application's overall structure and routing. I used React components within the Next.js components to create the UI elements and render the data retrieved from the Binance API. Since I worked on this project independently, I did not use any sponsor technologies. Instead, I relied on open-source tools and libraries to streamline development. Attending a workshop by XDC provided me with valuable knowledge on utilizing Next.js effectively.
