⚙️ Setup Instructions

1️⃣ Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/dg-2805/Gasless_Transactions.git
cd aether

### 2. Install Dependencies

Run the following command in the project root directory:

```bash
npm install

3. Configure Environment Variables

Create a .env file in the root directory and add the following:

NEXT_PUBLIC_ALCHEMY_API_KEY=your_alchemy_api_key
PRIVATE_KEY=your_wallet_private_key
CONTRACT_ADDRESS=deployed_contract_address

4. Compile and Deploy Smart Contracts

Navigate to the contracts directory and compile the smart contracts:

npx hardhat compile

To deploy the contracts, use:

npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network <network_name>

Replace <network_name> with your target blockchain (e.g., goerli, mainnet, or polygon).
