Dex Exchange is a cutting-edge, decentralized exchange platform designed for secure and efficient trading of ERC20 tokens across various EVM Chains. The platform integrates with MetaMask, allowing users to manage their transactions easily in a secure and familiar environment. This project represents a significant step towards innovating in the decentralized finance (DeFi) space.

Live Application: Dex Exchange

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:

• Node.js (latest stable version)
• npm (Node Package Manager)
• Git (for cloning the repository)

First, clone the repository to your local machine:

git clone https://github.com/kandekore/dex-exchange
cd dex-exchange

The project consists of two main parts: the backend (dexBack) and the frontend (dex). Dependencies for both parts need to be installed.

Run the following command to install all necessary dependencies:

npm run install

This script will navigate to both dexBack and dex directories and install the required packages.

Create a .env file in the dexBack directory with the necessary environment variables. Example:

PORT=3000
MORALIS_API_KEY=your_moralis_api_key

Replace your_moralis_api_key with your actual Moralis API key.

To run the application in development mode with both the front-end and back-end services, use:

npm run develop

This will start the backend server and the React development server concurrently.

For production, you can build the front-end application using:

npm run build:dex

Then, start the server:

npm start

• ERC20 Token Swapping: Seamless exchange of various ERC20 tokens.
• MetaMask Integration: Secure and easy transactions through MetaMask wallet.
• 1Inch Liquidity Aggregator: Ensures competitive rates for trades.
