Athena - Decentralized Cloud Storage

Athena is a decentralized cloud storage solution that leverages React.js and Ether.js frameworks. Built on blockchain technology, Athena provides a secure, transparent, and decentralized storage platform for digital assets.

Features

• Decentralized Architecture: Uses blockchain to distribute data across a network of nodes, ensuring security and availability without a central server.
• User-Friendly Interface: Crafted with React.js for an intuitive experience in uploading, downloading, and managing files.
• Smart Contracts with Ether.js: Transactions and interactions are managed using smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain.
• End-to-End Encryption: Ensures only authorized users can access their stored files.
• Immutable Data: Tamper-proof storage for reliable data integrity.

Tech Stack

• Frontend: Next.js @13, Tailwind CSS
• Blockchain: Ether.js @5, Solidity
• Development Tools: Hardhat, Pinata (for IPFS)
• Other Requirements: Metamask Wallet, Ethereum-based Blockchain
