What follows is an abridged version of the full pitch deck attached to the repo in the /pitch folder. Please reference for detailed descriptions.

• The user logs in by scanning the QR code from the uPort app on their mobile phone 


• There are several different accounts or views in the App: 


  • The ISP Admin Account.

  • The Region Admin Account

  • The Public View 

  • A Demo Account

• The Accounts Smart Contract contains logic for user account management including:

  • Allowing a user to sign up with their uport DID
  • Getting a user from the Ethereum blockchain
  • Checking the user is valid against the address in the uPort DID registry
  • Allowing the owner to invite other users to have specials roles in the system

• The Donations Screen allows anyone to donate to the project in ETH

  • The Donations Smart Contract contains logic for donation management :
  • Includes functions to receive donations
  • Allows a region administrator to withdraw an amount of funds to that region.

• The Connections Screen allows anyone to interactively view the current connectivity statistics.
  • The network connectivity history can also be visualised by date
  • There is an admin page which allows the user that deployed the contracts to set up roles within the system

• The ISP Admin Screen allows ISP's to upload connectivity stats for a region for a given time period.

  • The connectivity data uploaded is stored in IPFS as it needs to be publicly available.
  • The file upload format must use a valid region id, ISP id and region admin.
  • The ISP smart contract contains functions to get the data files from IPF
  • a function to set the region for an ISP and a function to upload the data files to IPFS 

Please install all dependencies before doing anything. Use npm install or yarn

To run it locally, please remove the contracts folder in client/src/ folder, as it is there to be used on the live demo.

With Linux or OSX, just run the local_demo.sh script at the project root folder.

Please, make sure to have a local ipfs node instance running.

• ISP will upload valid data, not currepted data, neither fake

• Most imputs have not validation, be sure to write valid data, like in donation window.

The easiest way to run the demo is by running the local_demo.sh script, but in case you want to run in entirely by hand, here's a quick intro.

First of all, install all dependencies, remove the contracts folder in client/src/ folder, then go to ethereum folder and start a local ganache network by running npm run start:ganache:dev and then, without closing it, run npm run deploy:ganache.

Now, go to client folder, run npm run link-contracts to create a folder link in order to be able to use the contracts from the frontend.

Please make sure to have a ipfs node running locally or copy the .env.production to .env.development

To start the frontend just do it with npm run start from the client folder.

In case you do not want to sign up, you can see the system by using either ISP or region admin demo accounts. You can also view a working demo here: https://connect-ed.netlify.com
