## Introduction
This project showcases a full-stack blockchain application, including a smart contract for a token (ERC-20) and a React frontend for interacting with the contract. The smart contract is deployed using Hardhat, and the frontend is built with Create React App.
## Features
- **ERC-20 Token**: A custom token with minting, transferring, and allowance functionalities.
- **Deployment Scripts**: Automated deployment scripts using Hardhat.
- **Frontend Integration**: A React application to interact with the deployed smart contract.
- **Testing**: Comprehensive unit tests for the smart contract.
