Mento Whitepaper

This repository host the Mento Whitepaper - a community effort that aims to give an overview over the Mento Protocol and its usecases.

Development Setup

Prerequisites

• LaTeX distribution (TeX Live recommended)
• Inkscape (for SVG conversion)
• VS Code with LaTeX Workshop extension

Building

Open the project in VS Code. Saving any .tex file will automatically build both PDFs:

• Mento_Whitepaper.pdf - Standard version
• Mento_Whitepaper_MiCAR.pdf - MiCAR compliance version

Build artifacts are stored in .build/ and ignored by git.

Manual Build

latexmk -pdf -shell-escape -outdir=.build -jobname=Mento_Whitepaper main.tex
latexmk -pdf -shell-escape -outdir=.build -jobname=Mento_Whitepaper_MiCAR main_micar.tex
cp .build/*.pdf .

Getting involved

The Whitepaper is written in LaTeX. Own branches and pull requests are very welcome. The GitHub user pushing changes has so far often made changes on request of other (often non-technical) members of the Mento community so there is no one-to-one correspondence of changes made and GitHub accounts related.
