• Project Showcase – Add and display your projects with title + demo/live link.
• Direct Tipping System – Wallet-to-wallet tipping (no withdrawal needed).
• Leaderboard – Track top tippers, total tips, and community stats.

Roadmap

Phase 1 – Planning & Setup

• Repo init, UI wireframes, basic React + Tailwind setup.

Phase 2 – Smart Contract ⚡

• Tipping contract with tipDeveloper(address) function.
• Event logging + minimum tip enforcement.
• Deploy on Sepolia testnet.

Phase 3 – Frontend Integration 🎨

• Wallet connect (MetaMask, Wagmi).
• Developer signup & project showcase.
• Tipping modal with contract call.

Phase 4 – Leaderboard & Dev Chat 💬

• Fetch contract logs + Firebase for display.
• Build public leaderboard.
• Add real-time dev chat page.

Phase 5 – Testing 🧪

• End-to-end tests on Sepolia.
• Cross-browser + mobile wallet tests.

Phase 6 – Deployment 🌍

• Deploy frontend to Vercel.
• Launch contract on Ethereum mainnet (or Polygon for lower fees).

Crypto Handling

• MVP Token: ETH or MATIC
• $5 minimum tip enforced via price feed (e.g., Chainlink).
• Example: If ETH = $2,000 → $5 = 0.0025 ETH

solidity require(msg.value >= 0.0025 ether, "Minimum tip is $5");

•	Future Support: ERC-20 tokens (USDC/DAI), multi-chain expansion.
