Arena (prototype phase)

Arena is the platform component of the Convergent ecosystem. It facilitates the creation and discovery of personal economies.

Features

This is an MVP which will contain the essential features of a personal economy platform:

• display existing personal economies and offered services
• request offered services
• invest in existing personal economies
• customize and deploy your own personal economy (personal cryptocurrency + menu of services to back it with)
• view your personal economy and investment portfolio in a dashboard
• chat with verified identities to transact service delivery

Install

First install dependencies and compile the contracts in the root directory.

$ yarn

Start ganache from the command line in one window (alternatively using the UI application):

$ yarn ganache

In another window run to compile and deploy the contracts:

$ yarn deploy:dev

Run

$ yarn start

Connect MetaMask to your private ganache blockchain and import your account to make sure you have enough funds for transactions.

If re-deploying the contracts within the same dev session, you might have to reset your MetaMask account (click on the MetaMask extension, then on your account/gravatar, and then go all the way down to the second last button).
