Swap is a decentralized cross-chain swap application developed as part of the Chainlink Hackathon. The platform leverages Chainlink technology to enable seamless and secure swapping of assets across different blockchain networks.

• Cross-Chain Compatibility: Swap supports the exchange of tokens/assets across various blockchain networks, providing users with flexibility and interoperability.
• User-Friendly Interface: An intuitive interface designed to simplify the swapping process for both novice and experienced users.
• **Security:**Swap prioritizes security, employing industry best practices and smart contract audits to ensure a safe swapping environment.

• Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP): Implementing a robust Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol posed significant challenges. Ensuring compatibility and efficient communication between disparate blockchain networks required intricate protocol design and careful consideration of various consensus mechanisms and token standards.
• Standardization Hurdles: Overcoming the lack of standardized formats for data transmission and transaction execution across multiple blockchains was a persistent challenge. Achieving seamless interaction and asset transfer between distinct protocols required extensive research and implementation efforts.
• Protocol Security and Consistency: Maintaining security while ensuring consistent transactional behavior across different chains introduced complexities. Addressing potential vulnerabilities and ensuring the reliability of cross-chain transactions demanded rigorous testing and analysis.

• CCIP Dynamics: Navigating the complexities of Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocols provided invaluable insights into the intricacies of blockchain communication and interoperability. Understanding CCIP standards and their impact on decentralized applications deepened our knowledge base.
• Standardization Efforts: Overcoming hurdles related to non-standardized formats enhanced our appreciation for the significance of protocol standardization. Exploring interoperability solutions helped identify best practices for seamless data transmission and transaction execution.
• Security in Cross-Chain Environments: Addressing security concerns and maintaining transactional consistency across different chains enriched our understanding of secure cross-chain interactions. Implementing measures to mitigate risks in decentralized cross-chain environments became a priority focus area.

• Smart Contracts: Solidity, Chainlink CCIP, Ethers, Javascript, Typescript, Hardhat, Avalanche, Polygon
• Frontend: Next.js, Redux,Tailwind
• Backend: Node.js (or relevant backend technology)
• Blockchain Networks: Right now for hackathon purpose we have completed all chains from and to sepolia

The frontend code resides in the frontend folder of this repository.

1. Navigate to the Frontend Directory:

   cd frontend 

   cd weaveswap-master

2. Install Dependencies:

   npm install

3. Run the Development Server:

   npm run dev

   This command starts the development server, allowing you to access the Swap interface at http://localhost:3000.

For accessing and working with the smart contracts, follow these steps:

1. Hardhat Configuration Files:

   • Smart contracts are located in the contracts directory.
   • Hardhat configuration files can be found in the hardhat directory.

2. Install Hardhat and Dependencies:

   Ensure you have Hardhat installed globally:

   npm install -g hardhat

3. Compile Smart Contracts:

   Run the following command to compile the smart contracts:

   npx hardhat compile

4. Run Tests (Optional):

   To execute tests, if available:

   npx hardhat test

5. Deployment and Interaction:

   Use Hardhat scripts or deploy scripts provided in the repository to deploy contracts to your preferred network (local, testnet, or mainnet). Update the Hardhat configuration files (hardhat.config.js) with the necessary network details.

   For instance, to deploy on a local network:

   npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network localhost

   Consult the respective documentation or scripts provided in the repository for specific deployment and interaction commands.

• Access the Swap platform through the provided interface.
• Connect your wallet (MetaMask, etc.) to the supported blockchain network.
• Select the tokens/assets you want to swap and initiate the transaction.
• Confirm the transaction details and complete the swap.
