Attendify XRPL API 2.0

Inspired by its predecessor https://github.com/XRPLBounties/Proof-of-Attendance-API.

Setup

Create a Xumm Application

• Login to the Xumm Developer Console here
• Create a new application. Ensure you set the OAuth2 redirect URIs in the Origin/Redirect URIs field to specify the location where the frontend app is hosted. This URL must be whitelisted to enable the initiation of the frontend Xumm SDK. Explained in detail here.
  • For a local testing environment that is typically http://localhost:3000
  • For a private network it might be something like http://192.168.1.5:3000 (reachable with mobile devices from a local WLan)
  • In production it might be something like https://www.poap.io
• Save the API Key as well as API Secret (later used for XUMM_API_KEY and XUMM_API_SECRET)

Configuration

Rename .env.example to .env, update the values:

• Configure networks (only use websocket URLs, preconfigured default values generally work):
  • MAINNET_URL
  • TESTNET_URL
  • DEVNET_URL
  • AMM_DEVNET_URL
• Configure vault wallets (a seed value can be empty, but the backend won't be able to process requests on that network):
  • MAINNET_VAULT_WALLET_SEED
  • TESTNET_VAULT_WALLET_SEED (create a funded wallet here)
  • DEVNET_VAULT_WALLET_SEED (create a funded wallet here)
  • AMM_DEVNET_VAULT_WALLET_SEED (create a funded wallet here)
• Configure IFPS provider (one is sufficient):
  • IPFS_INFURA_ID and IPFS_INFURA_SECRET (create account here)
  • IPFS_WEB3_STORAGE_API_TOKEN (login with github account, see here)
• Configure XUMM App (needs to match the key embedded in the frontend app)
  • XUMM_API_KEY and XUMM_API_SECRET (create account here)
• Configure JSON Web Token (used for server side authentication)
  • JWT_SECRET (use something like node -e "console.log(require('crypto').randomBytes(32).toString('hex'))")
• Configure hashids (used to mask/scramble event IDs)
  • HASHID_SALT (use something like node -e "console.log(require('crypto').randomBytes(32).toString('hex'))")
• Configure event minting/burning
  • MAX_TICKETS (between 2 and 250, see here)
  • MAX_EVENT_SLOTS (maximum number of allowed participants per event)

Important: You can verify the correctness of your .env variables configuration with yarn run check.

Reserve Requirements

A platform (vault wallet) account needs a minimum balance of 62 XRP to function correctly:

• 10 XRP base reserve (account activation)
• 50 XRP owner reserve for tickets, used for batch minting/burning (configurable, should be at least 2 * MAX_TICKETS)
• 2 XRP as a safety buffer

Run

• Install dependencies with yarn install
• Run the server api with yarn run start
• Run the daemon with yarn run start:daemon in a separate terminal

Administration

Users with admin permissions have the capability to monitor and manage the platform through the frontend:

• View curent vault account balances and reserve requirements
• List all events hosted on the platform
• List active organizers on the platform
• Cancel active events

Note: It is advisable to configure at least one admin account.

Manage Admins

Any platform user can be given admin privileges. Use the yarn run console admin script to add or remove the admin account flag in the database.

Examples:

yarn run console admin --help
yarn run console admin add r3drY2fHEEzFiU1EHpw2Qjpa2EHGs8cMHo
yarn run console admin add r3drY2fHEEzFiU1EHpw2Qjpa2EHGs8cMHo true
yarn run console admin remove r3drY2fHEEzFiU1EHpw2Qjpa2EHGs8cMHo
Copy
