Praise Board is a decentralized application built to help independent creators receive direct support from their community without relying on third-party platforms.

The application allows users to connect their MetaMask wallet, send a small amount of Sepolia ETH along with a personalized appreciation message, and instantly have that message displayed on a live on-chain praise wall.

The smart contract is deployed on the Ethereum Sepolia testnet using Hardhat, while the frontend is built with Next.js, Wagmi, and Viem for seamless wallet integration and blockchain interaction. Transactions are verified on-chain, funds are transferred directly to the recipient wallet, and every appreciation message is permanently recorded through blockchain events.

Key Features: • MetaMask wallet connection • Direct ETH tipping without intermediaries • Live on-chain supporter wall • Ethereum Sepolia smart contract • Real-time event updates • Secure and transparent blockchain transactions
