Virto Node

Virto.Network, is the implementation of the Local Incentives Protocol, a decentralized payments infrastructure for local communities with social impact.

Before Virto there is Kreivo, a token-less parachain for Kusama focused on real-world use cases such as bridging Fiat money with decentralized on&off-ramps, d-commerce or any marketplace communities that transact with day-to-day life goods and services.

As part of our decentralized technology stack we tightly integrate with Matrix, the decentralized communications protocol that we extend with our plugin runtime Valor that allows the creation of high-level and convenient decentralizable APIs.

Running the parachain

virto-node is a parachain, which means it needs to connect to a relay chain to finalize blocks. To ease the pain of setting up the different nodes required to test the network we use zombienet to set-up a test network to try out the different features of the parachain.

You will need just and Nushell to run our different build and test recipes. Check just for a list of available commands.

Running local setup with zombienet

If you haven't already, run just get-zombienet-dependencies to get the zombienet binary plus the required polkadot and polkadot-parachain.

Then, just zombienet.

Structure

Core Pallets

• Payments pallet is the core payments primitive used by the network that enables secure reversible payments and configurable fees that allow for the contributions to local communities.
