## Features

- **User-Friendly Blockchain Interaction**: Allows users to manage custom tokens on XRPL with ease through a mobile-first approach using Xaman.
- **Engagement Rewards**: Users are rewarded with tokens for engaging with the platform, promoting active participation.
- **Trustline Management**: Automated checking and setting of trustlines for new users, essential for token interaction on XRPL.
- **Mining Interface**: Simulated mining interface for users to earn tokens based on interaction levels.

## Tech Stack

- **Blockchain**: XRP Ledger (XRPL) for token creation, transactions, and trustline management.
- **Mobile Authentication**: Xumm SDK for seamless mobile app-based authentication and interactions.
- **Backend**: 
  - Node.js with Express.js for server-side logic.
  - JSON files for simple data storage (to be replaced with a more robust DB in production).
- **Frontend**: 
  - HTML, CSS for static and responsive design.
  - JavaScript for client-side interactivity, leveraging Xumm and XRPL libraries.

## Getting Started

### Prerequisites

- Node.js and npm installed.
- Basic understanding of blockchain technologies, particularly the XRPL.

### Installation

1. **Clone the Repository:**
   ```bash
   git clone <repository-url>
    ```

    Install Dependencies:
    bash
    ```
npm install
     ```
Configuration:

    Set up environment variables for XRPL seed, Xumm API key, etc., in a .env file.

Start the Server:
bash
    ```
    npm start
    ```

Backend Setup

    Express Server: Handles HTTP requests, manages user data, and interacts with XRPL via the xrpl library.
    APIs: For tracking user engagement, sending tokens, and managing session data.


Frontend Experience

    Responsive Design: Optimized for both desktop and mobile with different layouts.
    User Journey: From login with Xumm, setting trustlines, to mining tokens, all guided through a user-friendly interface.
    Modal Overlays: For QR scanning to set trustlines or make transactions via Xumm.


API Endpoints

    /api/send-tokens: Distributes tokens based on user engagement.
    /api/user: Updates user session with wallet address after login.


Security Considerations

    Sensitive Data: Ensure environment variables are not pushed to version control.
    Rate Limiting: Implement to prevent DDoS attacks or excessive API usage.
    User Authentication: Utilizing Xaman for secure mobile authentication.
