This demo project is a collection of smart contracts that implements business logic for running a pension fund on blockchain.

It is a legacy project that represents the 1.0 Iteration of the MVP

The Akropolis project is building the largest alternative pensions infrastructure in the world. We are creating decentralised pensions on the blockchain, built by and for the people, creating a safer financial future for humanity.

This project requires node-js runtime and uses truffle as the Ethereum smart contract development framework. You will need to have node installed first, in order to use the node package manager (npm). We also recommend installing yarn to effectively manage dependencies.

In order to run the project, install the truffle suite:

npm install -g truffle

Then install all of the node-js dependencies from within the git directory.

npm install

The connection to the blockchain node is defined in truffle.js, and as default is configured to be used locally:

module.exports = {
    networks: {
        development: {
            host: 'localhost',
            port: 8545,
            network_id: '*' // Match any network id
        }
    }
}

We recommend using popular Ethereum test client Ganache as a default local testing node:

npm install -g ganache-cli

Note: For Windows users, you may need to change the truffle.js filename in repository to truffle-config.js

To run all of the smart contract tests, execute the testing script:

yarn test

Alternatively, you may also call the truffle command directly:

truffle test

This project uses gulp to serve files. Before calling gulp you can ensure truffle files are compiled if they haven't been already

truffle compile

Install gulp via command

sudo npm install --global gulp

Npm Modules of course are installed via

npm install

You can run the service using

gulp serve

Note that the output will be by default on port :8080 and index.html page-> e.g. localhost:8080/index.html

You can use the following to inject a secret string in the URL so that it is distinct

gulp serve:dist
