When you create a project using Create-web3-dapp, it sets up two main folders: "Frontend" and "Backend."

Frontend: The "Frontend" folder contains the client-side code of your application, built using Next.js. Here, you'll find the Next.js app with all the necessary files and configurations for creating a powerful and interactive user interface.

  1. Backend: This is where you'll find the smart contract code, typically written in Solidity, along with deployment scripts, testing files, and other necessary components for managing the backend logic of your application.

The separation of the frontend and backend folders allows for a clean and organized project structure.
