Practical overview
When it fits
Use Palisade when you need a Compound Ethereum interface or are working on a configurable front end for that protocol, and can supply the network and API configuration it requires.
Who it is for
- People seeking a web interface for Compound protocol interactions on Ethereum.
- Developers maintaining, configuring or adapting a Compound-facing web front end.
Documented uses
- Use a web front end to interact with Compound on Ethereum.
- Configure the interface for an Ethereum network and its JSON-RPC data provider.
- Build the interface as static assets for a hosting target.
Requirements & limits
The repository is public and specifies a GPL-3.0 license. The documented primary application setup requires configuration files; a WalletConnect project ID is conditional on enabling that wallet type.
- The project is an application front end, not a blockchain node or protocol implementation.
- The README requires development and production JSON configuration under config/env, including network and data-provider mappings.
- The documented stack is Elm with Yarn-based setup and build commands.
- The repository documents static deployment; its IPFS script may need changes for pinning services other than Infura IPFS.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Prepare Palisade for local development
Install the project and start its documented local front-end development server.
Before you start
- Git and Yarn
- Development configuration JSON at config/env/development.json
- Ethereum JSON-RPC data provider and network settings
Steps
Clone the Palisade repository and enter its directory.
Create the required development configuration file under config/env, including the relevant API, data-provider, network and default-network settings.
Install dependencies with
yarn install --lock-file.Run
yarn watch-i18nandyarn watch-css, then start the front end separately withyarn start.
Expected outcome
The README identifies http://localhost:3000 as the local address for viewing the development application.
Guide limitations
- The README says Elm may take time to fetch dependencies on the first run.
- A WalletConnect project ID is required only when enabling WalletConnect.
- This documents setup steps and does not verify a successful run.
Build static assets for deployment
Generate the static application files that the repository documents as deployment input.
Before you start
- A configured Palisade project with dependencies installed
- A production configuration JSON at config/env/production.json
Steps
Run
yarn run build-css.Run
yarn run build.Use the resulting
/builddirectory as the static-site files for a hosting provider.
Expected outcome
The README states that `/build` should contain the files needed to serve the application; it names IPFS and Google Cloud Storage as supported deployment targets.
Guide limitations
- This guide covers asset generation, not completing a hosting-provider deployment.
- Deployment configuration and provider requirements vary by target.
