Slide 4: Applied DApp Scenario for Lab Implementation
Goal: Build and deploy one DApp on Remix using Solidity, Sepolia Testnet, and
MetaMask.
Options:
1. Attendance Management DApp
2. Property Rental DApp
3. Complaint Management DApp
4. Scholarship Distribution DApp
5. Gift Card Exchange DApp
6. Crowdsourced Legal Advice DApp
Common Requirements:
• Access control (admin restricted actions).
• Proper events.
• Testing on MetaMask.
• Clean, modular, commented code.
Example: Attendance DApp
✅ Register students. ✅ Mark attendance by admin. ✅ View attendance %. ✅ Eligibility check (≥75%). ✅
Emit events on register, mark attendance. ✅ Test with MetaMask on Sepolia.
Practical Workflow:
1. Design roles, functions, and events.
2. Code in Remix using Solidity 0.8.x.
3. Compile and deploy using Injected Web3.
4. Test functions and event logs.
5. Document screenshots for Viva.
If you confirm, I will proceed to: ✅ Generate a clean, exportable PDF with these complete notes. ✅
Include sample Solidity codes and testing instructions. ✅ Design in slide-friendly format for
presentation and Viva prep.
Let me know if you want me to generate the clean PDF now for your notes, slides, and submission.
