Getting Started

Option 1: Docker (Fastest)

docker pull codila125/foedus-blockchain:latest
docker run -p 3000:3000 codila125/foedus-blockchain

Your blockchain is now running at http://localhost:3000

Option 2: From Source

git clone https://github.com/codila125/foedus-blockchain.git
cd foedus-blockchain
go build -o foedus
./foedus

Step 1: Create a Wallet

Your wallet is your identity on Foedus. It holds your tokens and signs your transactions.

curl http://localhost:3000/blockchain/createwallet

Step 2: Create a Contract

Post a project with milestones and invite collaborators.

curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/blockchain/createcontract/{your_address} \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "title": "Logo Design",
    "description": "Design a professional company logo",
    "milestones": [
      {
        "title": "Concept Sketches",
        "value": 500,
        "due_date": 1762329600
      },
      {
        "title": "Final Designs",
        "value": 1500,
        "due_date": 1764921600
      }
    ],
    "parties": [{"address": "contractor_address", "role": "CONTRACTOR"}]
  }'

Step 3: Complete Milestones

As work is completed, submit evidence. Once approved, payment is released automatically.
