Description 

The core idea for this project is to have an open-source demo of Iroha 2 showing the principles of emergency preparedness through the emission of the internal currency. The concept comes from New Zealand, where the Lyttelton Tunnel crash led to the creation of quick money.

Additional Information

The proposal for this project is described in detail in a separate repo.

Learning Objectives

The mentee will learn how to make a complete mobile application and a backend interacting with Iroha 2.

Expected Outcome

We’ll have an open-source application that demonstrates the capabilities of Iroha 2.

The project will have a utility for humanity, especially the local communities.

• The local services and products would be utilised at higher rates.
• More value would be created and exchanged within the local community at an increased velocity.
• There would be a positive environmental impact: utilising local goods and services will reduce carbon footprint.
• The local communities would become more resilient. Increased engagement within such communities will result in food security and emergency preparedness.

The potential benefit of this project for humanity may lead to many people being interested in it and, in turn, other Hyperledger projects.

This project also shows the utilisation of blockchain technology in a real-world scenario.

It utilises the benefit of permissioned blockchain by using roles and permissions for the local community members.

It will also lead to further testing and API improvements of Iroha 2.

We expect to provide an MVP of the project showing its local application in 24 weeks with mentees working the dedicated time.

Relation to Hyperledger 

This project is related to the Hyperledger ecosystem by using Iroha 2 and being open-source, i.e. many communities may use it as-is.

Mentee Skills

At the very least, we’ll need the mentee to know Rust to an extent.

There are two equally valid implementation options for the frontend:

• Work with a Java / Kotlin programmer.
• Pick someone who knows Vue and TypeScript.

The experience or the desire to learn WASM smartcontract design would be helpful but isn't required.

Future plans

This project will demonstrate Iroha's capabilities and will probably attract a new community around it.
