In today’s ever-evolving digital world, protecting and managing intellectual property (IP) has become a critical challenge. From journalists to art collectors, new technologies are making it safer and more efficient to tokenize IP, enabling licensing, trading, distributing royalties, and more.

Mediolano offers an innovative platform that empowers content creators, from authors to journalists and publishers, to participate in the global information marketplace. Our mission is to transform the industry by providing transparency, immutability, security, optimization, and a range of innovative features to build, manage, and monetize IP.

Important

This repository uses Scaffold Stark as a framework in the development of smart contracts in Cairo that integrate the Mediolano platform with Starknet, allowing the user to tokenize their intellectual property.

Getting Started

Before you begin, you need to install the following tools:

• Node (>= v18.17)
• Yarn (v1 or v2+)
• Git
• Rust
• asdf
• Cairo 1.0 extension for VSCode

Starknet-devnet version

To ensure the proper functioning of scaffold-stark, your local starknet-devnet version must be 0.0.4. To accomplish this, first check your local starknet-devnet version:

starknet-devnet --version

If your local starknet-devnet version is not 0.0.4, you need to install it.

cargo install starknet-devnet --version 0.0.4

Scarb version

To ensure the proper functioning of scaffold-stark, your local Scarb version must be 2.6.5. To accomplish this, first check your local Scarb version:

scarb --version

If your local Scarb version is not 2.6.5, you need to install it.

• Install Scarb 2.6.5 via asdf (instructions).

Starknet Foundry version

To ensure the proper functioning of the tests on scaffold-stark, your Starknet Foundry version must be 0.27.0. To accomplish this, first check your Starknet Foundry version:

snforge --version

If your Starknet Foundry version is not 0.27.0, you need to install it.

• Install Starknet Foundry 0.27.0 via asdf (instructions).

Compatible versions

• Starknet-devnet - v0.0.4
• Scarb - v2.6.5
• Snforge - v0.27.0
• Cairo - v2.6.4
• Rpc - v0.7.0

Make sure you have the compatible versions otherwise refer to Scaffold-Stark Requirements

Then download the your computer and install dependencies by running:

git clone https://github.com/mediolano-app/mediolano-stark.git mediolano-stark
cd mediolano-stark

yarn install

in the same terminal, start your local network (a local instance of a blockchain):

yarn chain

in a second terminal window, 🛰 deploy your contract (locally):

cd mediolano-stark
yarn deploy

in a third terminal window, start your 📱 frontend:

cd mediolano-stark
yarn start

📱 Open http://localhost:3000 to see the app.

---

Deploy your NextJS App

yarn vercel

Follow the steps to deploy to Vercel. Once you log in (email, github, etc), the default options should work. It'll give you a public URL.

If you want to redeploy to the same production URL you can run yarn vercel --prod. If you omit the --prod flag it will deploy it to a preview/test URL.

⚠️ Run the automated testing function to make sure your app passes

yarn test

Configuration of Third-Party Services for Production-Grade Apps

By default, Scaffold-Stark provides predefined Open API endpoint for some services such as Blast. This allows you to begin developing and testing your applications more easily, avoiding the need to register for these services.

For production-grade applications, it's recommended to obtain your own API keys (to prevent rate limiting issues). You can configure these at:

🔷 RPC_URL_SEPOLIA variable in packages/snfoundry/.env and packages/nextjs/.env.local. You can create API keys from the Alchemy dashboard.

💬 Hint: It's recommended to store env's for nextjs in Vercel/system env config for live apps and use .env.local for local testing.
