Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when the task is development or review of AXONE network contracts, rather than ordinary wallet or end-user network interaction.
Who it is for
- Developers inspecting or extending Rust-based CosmWasm contracts for AXONE.
- Teams exploring programmable governance or on-chain verifiable-credential functionality tied to Abstract Accounts.
Documented uses
- Inspect contract code and technical documentation for AXONE protocol components.
- Develop governance rules for resources represented by Abstract Accounts using Prolog constitutions.
- Work with credential lifecycle functions for RDF dataset-based credentials.
- Build contract WebAssembly artifacts or generate JSON schemas using the repository's listed tasks.
Requirements & limits
The repository is public and specifies the BSD-3-Clause license.
- The implementation is Rust-based and targets CosmWasm on AXONE, with the Abstract SDK also identified as a foundation.
- The README identifies axone-gov as intermediate maturity and axone-vc as initial maturity.
- The listed deployment setup uses network-specific wallet mnemonics; the README calls for keeping the mainnet mnemonic private.
- The task list includes Docker-based local chain management as well as contract build and code-quality tasks.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Prepare deployment environment configuration
Create the environment file and identify the wallet credential fields used for testnet or mainnet deployment.
Before you start
- Access to the repository and its .env.example file.
Steps
Copy .env.example to .env.
Edit .env and set TEST_MNEMONIC for testnet deployments or MAIN_MNEMONIC for mainnet deployments.
Expected outcome
An environment file configured with the mnemonic field corresponding to the intended deployment network.
Guide limitations
- This covers configuration only; it does not document deploying a contract.
- The README warns that the mainnet mnemonic must be kept private.
