DCarbon Program

DCarbon is a blockchain-based solution designed to tackle carbon emissions through a decentralized approach. The project aims to incentivize carbon reduction by providing a transparent and trustless platform for tracking and trading carbon credits.

Below is the initial structuring of the DCarbon project repository with the first commit details.

Repository Structure

• migrations/: Contains database migration files.
• programs/dcarbon-program/: Houses the core logic for the DCarbon blockchain program.
• tests/: Includes tests for validating the functionality of the DCarbon program.
• .env_txt: Placeholder for environment variables required for the project.
• .gitignore: Specifies untracked files that Git should ignore.
• Anchor.toml: Configuration file for Anchor, a framework for Solana's Sealevel runtime providing several conveniences for developing Solana programs.
• Cargo.lock: Autogenerated file ensuring a consistent build by locking dependencies to specific versions.
• Cargo.toml: Manifest file for Rust, specifying package information and dependencies.
• package.json: Lists the dependencies and scripts for Node.js necessary for the project.
• tsconfig.json: Configuration file for Typescript compiler options.

Getting Started

To get started with the DCarbon program, please follow the steps below:

Prerequisites

• Install Rust programming language: https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install
• Install Node.js and npm: https://nodejs.org/
• Install Anchor framework: https://project-serum.github.io/anchor/getting-started/installation.html

Setup

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/your-org/dcarbon.git
cd carbon

2. Install JavaScript dependencies:

npm install

3. Build the program:

anchor build

4. Test the program:

anchor test

Configuration

• Copy .env_txt to .env and fill in the required environment variables:

cp .env_txt .env
# Edit the .env file with your environment-specific values

Running the Program

• After setting up and testing, you can deploy the program to a localnet, devnet, or mainnet-beta (assuming you have the Solana CLI installed):

solana program deploy /path/to/your/compiled/program.so
