Deposit Backend

This is a "temporary" solution for a backend for the deposit app. Eventually, this will be implemented on the EmpowerChain, but we want to test the Deposit App in different scenarios before we get that far. So we are starting with Plastic Credits on the EmpowerChain, and nailing down the specifics of the Deposit Schemes through this repo.

Take a look at the White Paper for more details: https://github.com/empowerchain/empowerchain

Usage documentation

1. SETUP: Admin

Many of the setup functions are currently admin-only. This means you need to either seed the admin database with an admin public key or manually add it:

$ encore db shell admin --env staging # Example env
admin=> insert into admin VALUES('YOURPUBKEYGOESHERE');

2. SETUP: Organization

Schemes needs an organization, so create one using the organization.CreateOrganization API.

3. Voucher Definition / Token Definition

Schemes also need a reward definition id, so use for instance deposit.CreateVoucherDefinition API.

4. SETUP: Scheme

Create scheme with scheme.CreateScheme

5. SETUP: Add collection point

Add collection point(s) to the scheme with scheme.AddCollectionPoint

6. Make deposit

As the collection point, make a new deposit with deposit.MakeDeposit

7. Optional: Claim

If user pub key is not added in the initial deposit, the user needs to claim the deposit reward with: deposit.Claim
