Environment Setup

tip

🙌🏻 The "Use" section is Work in Progress! A Verana Frontend is under active development. In the meantime, it is required to use the command line in order to interact with the Verana Verifiable Trust Network testnet.

Using the CLI​

Use the CLI to query the ledger, and execute transactions that modify the ledger.

Prerequisite: Ensure the veranad binary is installed and up-to-date.
See Install or Update Veranad Binary.

Set the following environment variables in order to be able to interact with the Verana Verifiable Trust Network:

USER_ACC="mat-test-acc"
USER_ACC_LIT=verana1sxau0xyttphpck7vhlvt8s82ez70nlzw2mhya0
CHAIN_ID="vna-testnet-1"
NODE_RPC=http://node1.testnet.verana.network:26657

These variables are required to target the correct environment (testnet, mainnet, or local). Adjust values accordingly.

Using the API​

Use the API to query the ledger only.

For querying the ledger, you can use the API. An openapi.yml is available with its swagger-ui for all network environments. Example, for testnet: https://api.testnet.verana.network/

info

You cannot use the API with the swagger-ui to execute transactions that modify the ledger state. These actions require signing the messages using wallet software which is not possible using the API with the swagger-ui.

Using the Indexer​

Use the Indexer to perform advanced queries that cannot be done with the API.

Using the Frontend​

Use the frontend to query the ledger, and execute transactions that modify the ledger.

The frontend is experimental and, for the testnet, is available here https://app.testnet.verana.network/.

If you prefer, you can deploy your own instance of the frontend. See the frontend deployment documentation for more information.

tip

This is pre-alpha software and not all features are implemented yet.
