FundMeNow is a decentralized crowdfunding platform based on Ethereum blockchain developed using Truffle and ReactJS for the Data Security course at @Unisa. User accounts can create projects in order to raise funds (ETH) for multiple purposes. The platform is based on the All-or-Nothing model, which means that the project owner can withdraw the funds only if the campaign is successful, otherwise the funds are withdrawable by the funder whom can still fund the campaign after the deadline has passed, and the target has not been reached.
The project is divided into two main folders: client and contracts. The former contains the ReactJS application, while the latter contains the Solidity smart contracts. The migrations folder contains the migration scripts for the smart contracts.
