Decentralized Payment Processor

Welcome to the Decentralized Payment Processor project! This project allows users to send and receive payments using a cryptocurrency with a Flask API backend that interacts with both MongoDB and the XRPL (XRP Ledger).

Overview

This project consists of a Flask API that handles user accounts, transactions, and integration with the XRPL network for cryptocurrency transactions. Users can register, log in, check their account balance, send payments to others using both MongoDB and the XRPL.

Prerequisites

Before running the project, make sure you have the following prerequisites installed:

• Python 3
• Flask
• Flask-JWT-Extended
• Flask-PyMongo
• Flask-Bcrypt
• XRPL Python Library
• MongoDB
• Git (for cloning the project)
