🐘 ethnotary

Designed with decentralization in mind for the worldwide community. 🌐

ethnotary helps users secure funds or treasuries for their on-chain activities. We take accepted standards from Ethereum to provide easy-to-use interfaces where users can customize smart contracts to fit their needs and manage their assets on the blockchain. We do not collect any user data. We provide our interface in a sufficiently distributed architecture that ensures robust and reliable operation globally on the World Wide Web.

As such, we suggest a one-time donation for the use of the ethnotary tools. This donation helps support the maintenance, upkeep, and continuous improvements for our community of users.

✨ Features

• Double authentication for extra security. Add multiple wallet approvals to send transactions.
• Support for various layer 2 networks like Polygon, BNB Chain, OP, and Base.
• Available globally on the World Wide Web.
• Decentralized architecture: our interface does not collect any user data. All user data is stored on-chain!

📍 Roadmap

We’re continually working to improve ethnotary and expand its capabilities. Here’s what’s coming next:

• Multi-Signature Approvals for enhanced security
• Layer 2 Network Support for Polygon, BNB Chain, and Base
• Interoperability between Layer 2 Networks for easier user experience
• Mobile-Optimized Interface for seamless access on the go
• Multi-Language Support to better serve our global community
• Third-Party Security Audit for increased reliability and trust
• Customizable Dashboard for personalized user experience
• Integration with DeFi Tools like DEXes and yield farms
• Support for ERC-721 contracts to enable commmerce of media

🔒 Security

ethnotary has not been audited by a third party; a security audit is pending. ethnotary does not collect any user data or hold any user funds. ethnotary contracts are backed by the security of the EVM-compatible blockchains. Please use ethnotary at your own risk, as the application is still in active developmen

🚀 Getting Started

This guide will walk you through the steps required to run ethnotary on your local machine. You can also access the dApp on the web at ethnotary.io.

✅ Prerequisites

Before getting started, ensure you have the following:

• Web3-Enabled Browser Web3-Enabled Browser: Use a browser with Web3 capabilities.
• ethnotary Smart Contract Address If you do not have a contract address, you can create one on the wizard page.
• Etherscan API Key Get a free API key at Etherscan.
• RPC Provider API Key Get a free RPC provider API key at Infura or use another provider.
• Python 3.x (Only if running locally): Download and install Python if it's not already installed.

Accessing via the web @ ethnotary.io

You can access ethnotary in your web3-enabled browser by navigating to:

http://ethnotary.io?YOUR_ACCOUNT_ADDRESS

Replace YOUR_ACCOUNT_ADDRESS in the URL with your account address. If you do not have an account, you can create one online at wizard page. Make sure your Web3-enabled browser that is connected to the appropriate network.

Running ethnotary locally

If you prefer to run ethnotary on your local machine, follow the steps below:

1. Clone the Repository

   First, clone the repository to your local machine using Git.

2. Set Up RPC API Provider Keys

   Create a file named keys.js in the root directory and add your keys:

   const ENV = {ETHERSCAN_API_KEY: 'your-etherscan-api-key',RPC_NODE_KEY: 'your-infura-project-id'};

   Replace 'your-etherscan-api-key' and 'your-infura-project-id'with your API keys. Users can obtain a free Etherscan API key by signing up at Etherscan.io and a free Infura API key by creating an account at Infura.io.

3. Navigate to the ethnotary directory & start a local HTTP server

   To run ethnotary on your local machine, you need to start a simple HTTP server. Run the following command in the terminal:

   python -m http.server 8000

4. Open the dApp in a Web3 Enabled Browser

   Once the server is running, open your Web3-enabled browser and navigate to the following URL:

   http://localhost:8000/?YOUR_ACCOUNT_ADDRESS

   Replace YOUR_ETH_ADDRESS in the URL with your account address.

5. Creating an account

   If you do not have a contract address, you can create one using the wizard page by opening your web3 browser and navigating to: http://localhost:8000/wizard.html

   Make sure your Web3-enabled browser is connected to the appropriate network.

Notes

• Ensure your browser has Web3 integration. You can do this by installing a wallet such as MetaMask or by using a browser that natively supports Web3.
• The dApp will not function properly without connecting to a Web3 network, so double-check that your Web3 provider (MetaMask or similar) is working as expected.

Troubleshooting

• If you encounter any issues while running the dApp, please check the following:
• Make sure you are in the correct directory when running the Python HTTP server.
• Ensure your web browser has Web3 enabled and is connected to the correct network.
• If you encounter port-related issues, ensure that port 8000 is not in use by another application.
