Motivation

As the cryptocurrency market continues to grow, it becomes increasingly important for users to have quick and easy access to accurate exchange rates. Traditional methods of checking cryptocurrency prices and manually calculating conversions can be time-consuming and prone to errors.

This project was also inspired by the need to improve my skills in working with real-time data, API integration, and Web3.js. By developing this application, I aim to contribute to the broader crypto ecosystem and make cryptocurrency trading and management more accessible to everyone.
