How to build a DApp and host it on IPFS using Fleek

The tutorial outlines how to host decentralized applications (DApps) using Fleek by demonstrating the process with a sample pet adoption DApp built with React, Hardhat, and Alchemy. Fleek, described as a Netlify equivalent for Web3 applications, allows for seamless hosting on platforms like the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) or the Internet Computer by Dfinity. The guide takes users through a detailed step-by-step process, including building the DApp frontend, deploying the smart contract to the Ropsten network, and configuring Fleek for hosting. Additional considerations for deploying a production-ready DApp include integrating with a code host provider such as GitHub and managing environment variables securely. The tutorial emphasizes the use of tools like MetaMask for user interaction and LogRocket for monitoring Web3 applications, providing a comprehensive approach to building and deploying DApps with modern development practices.
