This is an experiment in "gating" online videos with a Solana paywall. Users can unlock videos by paying the fee set by the video's creator.
The repo is broken up into two parts:
- Vue frontend in the
/app
directory - Solana program in the
/programs
directory
- Anchor Framework (instructions include installing Solana and Rust)
- NodeJS + Yarn/Npm
Right now this program can only be deployed on devnet because it uses a chainlink oracle that's on devnet.
$: solana config set --url https://api.devnet.solana.com
$: solana-keygen new
After generating a wallet, update Anchor.toml
with the path to the generated wallet
$: solana address // outputs wallet pubkey
$: solana airdrop 2 <SOLANA pubkey> // airdrop 2 SOL to address
$: anchor build
After building the program, run solana address -k target/deploy/sol_vod-keypair.json
. This will generate the Program ID. Replace the above Program Id in these two files:
Anchor.toml
(under programs.localnet)/programs/sol-vod/src/lib.rs
(inside declare_id!())
Building the program should also generate an IDL file in target/idl/sol_vod.json
. It should have a metadata.address
key with the value of the Program ID above. If not, add that key. E.g.:
// sol_vod.json
{
...
"metadata": {
"address": <PROGRAM ID>
}
}
$: anchor deploy
// alternatively, to build + test + deploy in one command
$: anchor test
In a seperate terminal:
$: cd app/
// install dependencies
$ yarn
// run app
$ yarn serve
