Description

Goal: Pick the best tech stack for integrating blockchain into chamaa.api.

Explanation: You must decide whether your backend will communicate with blockchain using:

  • Ethers.js (Node-based) – great for TypeScript/Node APIs.

  • Nethereum (.NET) – fits better if you’re using C#.

You also decide the blockchain network:

  • Polygon (testnet: Mumbai) — ideal for low-cost testing.

  • Ethereum Sepolia — for Ethereum-native testing.

Deliverables:

  • Decision document (framework + reason).

  • API keys for node provider (Alchemy, Infura, QuickNode).

  • .env entries for BLOCKCHAIN_RPC_URL, PRIVATE_KEY.

Contributor guide

Research direction
