A web-based transaction editor, inspired after building Cardano.el, this web
app allows you to craft complex transactions without the need to set up your own
node. It integrates with your personal web wallet to manage transaction signing.
You can now participate in collaborative transactions, collectively creating a
transaction for asset swaps, pooling resources, pledging resources and anything
you want to do with other people.
Give it a try!
Executive Summary. Why do we need this?
To do anything interesting on the Cardano blockchain you need to have your own
node and work with the cardano-cli. This locks away every non-technical user,
and delays the technically skilled because they cannot try their ideas right
away.
Even when committed to go over all the pain or even if not, using the
cardano-cli is too cumbersome, it is not a scalable user interface, it is
error-prone and you waste countless hours in the discord or forums asking for
help trying to figure out why your token mint or your swap contract does not
work. The cli has a high mental load, not worth for common simple tasks.
I want a tool that lets me declare what I want and it figures out how to do it.
I couldn’t find such a tool, thus I started building it myself. A text editable
interface as a wallet for Cardano to craft my transactions, that is the
cardano.el
project. It works and already does a lot, yet it is still for the
technical user and requires setting up your node. I want to open its
possibilities to a larger audience by offering this editor as a web application,
letting anyone have access to crafting complex transactions, without even
needing to set up a node.
The approach to do it is by relying on the web wallet ecosystem. Using your
favorite web wallet, which manages your funds and your secrets, the transaction
editor is there to enhance the transaction building capabilities. It allows you
to mint your Cardano native tokens and distribute them on the same transaction.
Its latest feature are collaborative transactions(a trade table). You can
connect multiple participants into crafting a single transaction. How you use it
is your choice, you can trade your assets with your peers in the same
transaction, no smart contract needed, you personally sign the full transaction.
You can use collaborate in a payment, pool resources from multiple wallets, so
you know you pay if everyone has paid and all at the same time.
