Decentralized Meeting Scheduler

Decentralized Meeting Scheduler is a blockchain-based application designed to facilitate scheduling meetings in a secure, transparent, and tamper-proof manner using smart contracts. This project leverages the power of decentralization to ensure that meeting details are immutable and accessible only by authorized participants.

Features

• Decentralized and Secure: Utilizes blockchain technology to store meeting details securely and ensure immutability.
• Smart Contracts: Automates the scheduling process and enforces meeting rules without the need for intermediaries.
• Transparency: All participants can verify meeting details stored on the blockchain.
• Privacy: Only authorized participants can access the meeting details.

Technologies Used

• Solidity: Smart contract development.
• Ethereum: Blockchain platform for deploying smart contracts.
• Web3.js: Interacting with the Ethereum blockchain.
• React: Frontend framework for building the user interface.
• Node.js: Backend server to manage interactions with the blockchain.

Installation

Prerequisites

• Node.js
• npm
• Truffle
• Ganache (for local blockchain development)
• MetaMask (for browser-based Ethereum wallet)

Steps

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/decentralized-meeting-scheduler.git
   cd decentralized-meeting-scheduler

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Compile smart contracts:

   truffle compile

4. Deploy smart contracts to the local blockchain:

   truffle migrate --network development

5. Run the development server:

   npm start

6. Connect MetaMask to your local blockchain (e.g., Ganache):

   • Open MetaMask.
   • Select "Custom RPC" and enter the Ganache RPC server details.

Usage

1. Create a new meeting:

   • Navigate to the "Create Meeting" page.
   • Enter meeting details such as title, date, time, and participants.
   • Confirm the transaction in MetaMask to save the meeting details on the blockchain.

2. View scheduled meetings:

   • Navigate to the "Scheduled Meetings" page.
   • View the list of meetings you are authorized to see.

3. Join a meeting:

   • Click on a meeting in the "Scheduled Meetings" list.
   • Confirm your participation and access meeting details.
