GitHub Portfolio: Smart Contracts, Decentralized Finance, Blockchain, Web3 dApp

https://github.com/Generic35

I have over 25 blockchain projects completed in this portfolio. The first 20 projects are Web3 Solidity dApp projects: decentralized finance dApps, social media dApps, Web3 game dApps, and NFT marketplace dApps. I also coded two core blockchain projects where I developed Ethereum from scratch using plain JavaScript. I did the same for the Bitcoin blockchain. Unit tests cover all.

For each of these projects, you can see the quality of my work, as each code commit is written and commented on by me.
