Crypto Portfolio Management System

I built a Django project that allows users to manage their cryptocurrency portfolios by utilizing API calls to the CoinGecko cryptocurrency API. This application was built with a TDD (Test Driven Approach), The following features are implemented:

User Authentication

• Users can sign up, log in, and log out of the system.
• Passwords are securely stored and hashed using Django's built-in authentication system.

Referral System

• Users can invite other users to join the platform using a referral link
• Referral links are tracked and the referrer receives a bonus when a new user signs up using their link

Crypto-Currency Wallets

• Users can Sell or delete cryptocurrencies to their wallet

• Each cryptocurrency has a name, current price, and quantity which the user can add to their portfolio

• Users can see a detail view of their portfolio, which shows the value of each cryptocurrency in their wallet and the total value of their portfolio

• Users can search for new Cryptocurrencies to add to their portfolio

• Users can View their Previous Holdings

Homepage

• The homepage shows the 24-hour price and percentage change of the top 10 ranked cryptocurrencies
• It also displays the 24-hour price and percentage change of the currencies
