Intro to Collab19: NodeRed based DAO Ops bot system

Spin up your own Aragon DAO system inside of telegram using Abridged account contracts and an Aragon DAO framework! See Collab19 here as an example of what to anticipate: https://t.me/collab19_bot

The Collab19 DAO template uses Node-Red, an open source visual development environment.

Web3 components include Aragon OS for the decentralized organization and the Abridged SDK for the Ethereum account and transactions. See the docs here and find an interface for the SDK here

Pre-requisites (30 mins)

1. Make sure you are running a supported version of node.js.

2. Use this link to create a decentralized organization with Aragon. Use the "Company Template".

3. You will need an Airtable account to manage the DAO userbase, and you will need to create a bot in Telegram.

4. An AWS account is necessary to encrypt user private keys.

Step 1: Download Node-Red (5 mins)

We recommend you run an instance locally first.

For Mac:

  sudo npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-red

For Windows:

  npm install -g --unsafe-perm node-red
