# Project Name
**Contributor:** YourGitHubUsername
**Domain:** Blockchain
**Difficulty:** [Beginner/Intermediate/Advanced]
## Description
Brief description of the blockchain project and its purpose.
## Features
- Smart contract functionality
- Token/NFT mechanics
- dApp interface
- [Other features]
## Tech Stack
- **Blockchain**: Ethereum / Polygon
- **Smart Contracts**: Solidity 0.8.x
- **Framework**: Hardhat / Truffle

## Smart Contracts
### Token.sol
\`\`\`solidity
// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.0;
contract Token {
// Contract code
}
\`\`\`
## Setup
### Prerequisites
\`\`\`
Node.js 16+
MetaMask wallet
Testnet ETH (from faucet)
\`\`\`
### Installation
\`\`\`bash
# Install dependencies
npm install
# Compile contracts
npx hardhat compile
# Run tests
npx hardhat test
# Deploy to testnet
npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network goerli
\`\`\`

\`\`\`bash
cd frontend
npm install
npm start
\`\`\`
## Environment Variables
\`\`\`
PRIVATE_KEY=your-private-key
INFURA_KEY=your-infura-key
ETHERSCAN_API_KEY=your-api-key
\`\`\`
## Contract Addresses
**Goerli Testnet:**
- Token: 0x1234...
- NFT: 0x5678...
**Mainnet:** (if deployed)
- Token: 0xabcd...
## Testing
\`\`\`bash
# Run all tests
npx hardhat test
# Check coverage
