[Music]
uh hello my name is Tim Coulter uh I'm a
developer at consensus um one of the
projects that I've been working on is uh
as you can see the DAP store U I'm going
to start this off with a leading
question how many people here have a
smartphone great so you you pretty much
know what I'm going to be presenting on
today um so the daap store uh what is
it it's uh very basic it's a Marketplace
for distributed applications just like
the uh Apple App Store Android App Store
um but uh when you get a little bit more
uh detailed it's also a registry so it's
a place to find
things uh why make the DAP store uh the
general reasons are to promote a Dap
economy so people who are creating daps
or creating value for the network uh uh
have a way to uh get reimbursed for
their value um uh a way to distribute
apps and uh uh or daps excuse me and
provide publicity for them and then
developer support for various um
features that uh every developer may not
want to write themselves and I'll get
into those in a second so uh some of the
features that you might that that the
DAP store have or has uh is all the
things um the first ones are the basic
features obviously listings of daps
search uh purchases reviews
um other features that it comes with or
that uh that provides value to
Developers for instance is um onboarding
and user acquisition to make that
process easy for instance a find in the
DAP store button or as you might see in
the you know with with iOS apps find in
the App Store um one the the one thing
that makes this DB store different than
uh the normal app stores that you're
used to is that you're not actually
downloading anything so what this is
actually providing is instead of a uh
economy where you're buying something
specific you're instead uh buying a
license and so if you get a license for
uh a Dap and they don't have there's no
end date for that license then it's it's
basically U you're you're buying a uh
free to use not free to use a license uh
that you can use to the end of time or
at least so the apps available um but if
you add an end dat then that provides uh
or creates a rental economy uh which is
uh possibly beneficial to some dap
developers um a feature might be type
dap or excuse me tight dap integration
so when you have this license
economy uh your dap can then check the
registry check the license registry and
see does this user have a license for my
dap and if so then you you um you either
let them use the app or you don't so you
can find some access controls across the
whole network um some other things that
might be in the future is currency tools
so it's great if you can buy a Dap in
ether but uh if you're trying to to make
your dap attractive to the general
public maybe you want them to buy in USD
so uh one possible way that uh we might
provide some value is uh do do that
conversion or at least make that easy um
another one might be company stores so
if you have a company with many daps you
might want to Brand uh the daap store or
a portion of the daap store to uh your
store um and be able to advertise your
daps that way uh another source of uh
Revenue might be uh ad opportunities so
maybe you want to promote your dap if
the DAP store becomes a place where
anybody or where everybody goes to
purchase daps then um it might be very
useful to you to play for instance place
a an ad on the front page um there's we
have more ideas um very short
presentation I have 15 minutes uh so the
DB source so so there was uh uh what
what is it and why and so now where and
when um I'm happy to announce that the
DAP store is live now uh that we uh
released it today at Devcon so you can
find it at dap
store.io
um thank
[Applause]
you uh what you need right now you're
going to need uh an ethereum node to
check it out uh we're going to be
working on that um
to make it easier to access uh a little
bit later but what I'm going to do is
I'm going to go ahead and click on this
um I know I was told oops let's full
screen that I was told that I wasn't
supposed to be running an ethereum a go
ethereum node but right now I am and so
this is actually the live Network um we
have currently have four apps on it
these are all consensus apps uh for
instance I'm going to go ahead and click
into BTC relay and you can see that BTC
relay has a description and has some
screenshots um what I'm not what I'm
going to do is instead of using the live
Network to demo this I will use uh a
local network and I'm
GNA oops this went away I full screened
it excuse me
um no that's
wrong exit full
screen so uh I'm going to go ahead and
turn off this go ethereum
node and start up uh ether Sim uh erri
and and I have worked uh pretty hard
together to uh make either Sim better so
that's that's um I'm really happy about
that and so uh what I'm going to do the
DAP store is a truffle dap so I'm going
to go ahead and deploy it to Ether Sims
so truffle deploy and what's going to
happen
is uh it's going to deploy the contracts
oh you know what I don't want to compile
them I'm not going to wait for that um
no compile
so it's going to deploy the contract to
that ether Sim that you just spun up
it's going to run some uh post
deployment scripts uh for the
development environment uh it runs a uh
script that uh adds in some demo data
and that's going to finish up here in a
second Let's uh wait for that if you
notice either Sim is processing all the
calls and transactions uh so great now
we're just going to do we're going to
serve that on Local Host check it out
over
here
perfect and then we
have if it loads
up our DB store on either of him so uh
what I have is I have uh four or excuse
me um SE seven of the eight daps that
are live right now I'm going to go ahead
and add one uh for this demo so uh go
ahead this right here is will soon be
Persona integration and uh right now so
right now it's just an anonymous user
but uh add a new DB you get um
information about the DB so what I'm
going to the DAP I am going to add right
now is called Dow Wars It's a uh
distributed Peter how do how do you say
that
distributed smart contract program game
um so Dow Wars right we're going to give
it a unique ID which is not really used
right now but we hope that to be used uh
I have the logo over here which is a
pretty sweet logo um we're just going to
go ahead and put that in smart contract
programming game and uh the D or Dow
Wars currently lives um at a GitHub
repository now it's not a Dap that you
can use yet but at least it could
benefit from the publicity of the DAP
store at least being in it so I'm going
to go ahead and take the description
from the GitHub repository go ahead and
uh hit next submitting a transaction now
we got to talk now we got to uh add a
version that uh people can start using
so this version is going to be
0.2.0 again the place that uh you can
find downwards right now is at this
location uh there's nothing I'm not
going to write anything new about this
version that's optional um but I'm going
to add a couple screenshots uh or
actually one screenshot and I have it
right here so right now as you'll see
screenshots are host hosted elsewhere
eventually we hope for them to be hosted
uh on ipfs um go ahead and finish up
with that and and what you'll see is you
have your page for the DAP store and you
can begin uh perhaps selling your DB so
uh one more thing uh that this this user
is right um is a developer I suppose is
registered as a developer in the system
but obviously this user could purchase
daps I'm going to and Get It Free
purchasing it for $0 of course and uh
you can open it up it brings you to
exactly where you want to go if I wanted
to go see which purchases I made and go
click over here and you'll notice a dow
War shows up so uh that's where we're at
now we have uh uh oh five minutes great
we have a lot of things we want to do
but um I'm I'm going to go ahead and use
those five minutes for any
questions
yeah sorry I guess I didn't alert you
about that thanks
question questions okay
so how how do you is it on how do you
open uh so you're linking just to the
dab how you when it's in another context
context of another domain how you make
sure that it's like openable so how like
you running the normal browser yeah yeah
so so the dab itself has to check a
specific contract to check if this
current user is allowed to use it yeah
yeah so uh the way that it would work uh
is your dap would integrate or know
where the the license registry is and
you would you would have your own key or
um uh address for your dap and then you
go look at the registry and say does
this user does this address have a
license for my dap and if so uh is the
license valid and then you would uh res
either restrict if if it is valid you
would let them use the DAP and if not
you would restrict RCT them from access
so so you would use web 3 e accounts to
check what identity the user has uh yeah
right now we're using um addresses yeah
this is all this is all web three um it
should run in missed although I probably
need to do uh one or two tweaks to the
code um but uh but that's the idea uh
it's
uh yeah well I guess I was going to say
should run the Miss yeah
awesome okay we got time for one more
question
so
um when you mean you you're going to
purchase the app yeah why why why is the
purchase coming via VIA your app and why
not why won't the app simply use you as
a catalog and then you are because what
what the dep gets from the dep store is
just exposure because the whole micro
payment and and selling something to the
user in the end can be perfectly done VI
eum doesn't need to go through the dep
store so what's the purpose of of having
the purchase
concept um well some of the features
that might be interesting to provide is
uh well let me just make sure I
understand your
question why why am I purchasing the app
via the dep store why I'm not just using
the dep store as a catalog to see
something and then inside the app
completely separated from your dep store
uh the the transaction of purchasing is
just between the dep and the dep user
yeah well let me let me um put it this
way what if you wanted
to uh make your dap available to people
who want to use different currencies who
don't who don't want to use say uh
ethereum or or want to use your app but
don't know too much about the
uh uh about ethereum
uh to be exposed to it like they don't
want to run a node or maybe they don't
want to run a wallet but you want to
expose them VI the browser um one thing
that the DAP store could do is is
provide that conversion for you now if
you're just asking where this button
should be that's uh if you're just
saying that maybe I can have a Dap store
button says buy it on my own website
well that's a feature that's definitely
a feature we can provide and that can
integrate directly to the store
right sorry um yeah so it it was
intended um like Miss um like the DAP
store that we all have discussed in the
past as a catalog first um where people
can select bookmark decentralized apps
that they're interested in uh certainly
not pay for those um but there may be
some business models in which people
would want to pay or developers would
want to be paid upfront or would want to
lease their daps or something like that
so Tim made that a use case as well it's
a it's a way to organize your your daps
as well uh that's a good point if you if
you put an app in the or a Dap in the
DAP store today uh you cannot sell it
it's uh released currently free so uh
those features will be added later uh
looks like my time's up uh thank you
[Applause]
