Réti Open Pooling

Welcome to the Réti Open Pooling monorepo. This README provides instructions for running the protocol and its accompanying example UI in a local environment. Detailed protocol information and its objectives can be found in the Gitbook documentation.

Overview

The Réti Open Pooling protocol enables the creation of decentralized staking pools on the Algorand network, promoting broader participation and enhancing network security through diversification. It is designed to be open-source, non-custodial, and fully decentralized, allowing for the creation and joining of staking pools to meet the minimum stake required for node rewards on Algorand.

Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure you have the following installed:

Docker: Required for running AlgoKit. Installation guide.
AlgoKit: Version 2.0 or later is required. Installation guide. Verify by running algokit --version.
PNPM: Version 8.0 or later for package management. Installation guide. Verify by running pnpm --version.

Quick Start

This section provides instructions for running the protocol and UI in a local AlgoKit sandbox environment.

Clone the repository

 git clone https://github.com/TxnLab/reti.git

Navigate to the reti directory
```
 cd reti
```
Install dependencies
```
 pnpm install
```
Start the local network
```
 algokit localnet start
```
Bootstrap the validator

This command bootstraps a new master validator and funds two new test accounts. It also sets environment variables for LocalNet that will be used by the front-end.
```
 pnpm run bootstrap
```
Launch the UI
```
 pnpm run dev
```

TestNet Development

Navigate to the ui directory
```
 cd ui
```
Create a .env.testnet file

Copy the TestNet variables from the .env.template file into a new .env.testnet file. Check back often to make sure you're using the latest master validator app ID, set to VITE_RETI_APP_ID.
Launch the UI
```
 pnpm run dev:testnet
```
