RAmonka Studio developed an advanced marketplace that facilitates transactions using cryptocurrencies. The project required a full-stack solution incorporating the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React, and Node.js), along with smart contract integration for secure, trustless transactions. The platform enables buyers and sellers to interact seamlessly while leveraging blockchain technology for enhanced security and transparency. The development included frontend and backend implementations, an administrative panel, and smart contract deployment on the blockchain.
Web Development Objectives
