Blockchain-Based Decentralized Social Media Platform Virtual Internship
In this virtual internship, students will learn to build a decentralized social media platform using Ethereum, IPFS, and Solidity. They will gain hands-on experience with blockchain technology, smart contract development, and decentralized application (dApp) architecture. The goal is to create a censorship-resistant, privacy-preserving, and user-owned content sharing platform.
