Practical overview
When it fits
Use aragonOS when a Solidity project needs contract components for a decentralized organization or when building a complex dApp or protocol from its reference framework.
Who it is for
- Solidity developers building contracts for decentralized organizations.
- Developers creating complex Ethereum dApps or protocols.
Documented uses
- Compose smart contracts that support a decentralized organization.
- Build a dApp or protocol using the framework’s reference implementation.
- Consult documentation about contract components and their use.
Requirements & limits
The repository is public and licensed under GPL-3.0.
- The framework is written in Solidity and targets Ethereum development.
- The documented development workflow uses Yarn to install dependencies, run tests and run linting.
- The repository identifies Ethereum mainnet as a deployment environment, but its listed workflow does not describe deploying a new project.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Install and check out the aragonOS development project
Install the project dependencies, run its test suite, and check lint.
Before you start
- Yarn
Steps
Run
yarn installto install dependencies.Run
yarn testto execute the tests.Run
yarn run lintto check lint.
Expected outcome
The documented development workflow completes dependency installation, tests, and lint checks if each command succeeds.
Guide limitations
- The README does not specify a Yarn version or additional environment requirements.
- The documented commands do not describe building or deploying contracts.
