Step-by-Step Guide: Off-Chain Code

Create an amazing guide for off-chain computation in Plutus that has working templates and a step-by-step walk-through for creating dApps.

Astrophysicist turned frontend and smart contract developer. Lead Developer for Logical Mechanism and contributor to the NFTDAO Marketplace.

A detailed, step-by-step, and thorough guide with usable templates for off-chain computation using Plutus.

Please read for a detailed explanation of the off-chain example:

Roadmap

This proposal will be written over the next three months while I attend the Plutus pioneer program. I want to contribute to the ecosystem with a very unique idea that will greatly help new developers looking for off-chain solutions using Plutus. The guide will be a great introduction to off-chain computations and a jumping-off point for developers using the templates in their own projects. It will be written for developers with some previous Haskell knowledge but little to no Plutus knowledge.

Goal

The goal of this proposal is to be the de facto guide and template for off-chain code written in Plutus.

Benefits to Cardano Ecosystem

The key benefit will be the amazing examples of smart contracts for off-chain computations. These examples can be used as a template or a guide to creating new applications in the ecosystem. The examples will be a combination of text, video, and images conveniently located in a GitBook space.

Deliverables

1. Full off-chain implementation of a D.F.B. on Cardano. (See GitBook)
2. Modeling of smart contracts in Plutus with fully functional playground files.
3. Fully open-sourced ReactJS components and Plutus smart contracts.
4. Well-written guides for Plutus smart contract development.
5. Full analysis of DFBs and their application as a token redistribution machine.
