Welcome to the NFT Marketplace repository! This project is an Ethereum marketplace built with Truffle for interacting with smart contracts and deploying them. It also uses Moralis for seamless interaction with web3 on the React DApp. This repository serves as a foundation for creating your own NFT marketplace or any DApp on EVM-compatible blockchains like Polygon, Avalanche, and Binance Smart Chain.

To deploy the application to a live environment, follow these steps:

1. Build the React Application: Create a production build of your application:

   npm run build

2. Choose a Hosting Service: You can host your DApp on platforms like Vercel, Netlify, or GitHub Pages.

3. Upload the Build: Follow the instructions of your chosen hosting service to upload the contents of the build directory.

4. Configure Domain: If you want a custom domain, configure it through your hosting provider.

Once the application is running, users can:
