Cardano Mendix Plugin by Landano

Overview

The Cardano Mendix Plugin integrates the Cardano blockchain with the Mendix low-code platform, enabling developers to build decentralized applications (dApps) on the Cardano network directly within Mendix. This plugin provides a seamless way to interact with Cardano smart contracts, manage transactions, and handle blockchain data.

Features

Initial Prototype

• Secure Integration: Leverage the security and scalability of the Cardano blockchain in your Mendix applications.
• Wallet creation: Create
• Transaction Management: Create, sign, and submit transactions on the Cardano network.
• Blockchain Data Access: Retrieve information from the Cardano blockchain, such as block data, transaction history, and more.
• Adding Metadata to Transactions: Attach metadata to transactions to include additional information that can be stored and retrieved from the blockchain.

Roadmap for September

• Support for Multi-Sig Transactions: Create and manage multi-signature transactions, ensuring that multiple parties authorize a transaction before it is processed.
• Creation of Native Tokens: Mint and manage native tokens on the Cardano blockchain, enabling custom assets within your Mendix applications.
• Smart Contract Interaction: Execute and interact with smart contracts on the Cardano blockchain.

Prerequisites

Before you can use the Cardano Mendix Plugin, ensure that you have the following:

• Mendix Studio Pro installed.
• A Mendix project where the plugin will be integrated.
• Access to a Cardano node or a Cardano API service (e.g., Blockfrost).

Installation

1. Download the Plugin:
   • Clone or download the repository from GitHub.

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/Cardano-Mendix-Plugin.git

2. Add to Mendix Project:

   • Open your Mendix project in Mendix Studio Pro.
   • Import the downloaded plugin into your project.

3. Configure Plugin:

   • Navigate to the plugin settings in Mendix and configure the Cardano node or API endpoint.
   • Set up necessary credentials and access tokens.

Usage

Managing Transactions

1. Create a Transaction:

   • Utilize the plugin to create a transaction object with the necessary parameters.

2. Sign the Transaction:

   • Use your private key (stored securely) to sign the transaction within the Mendix environment.

3. Submit the Transaction:

   • Submit the signed transaction to the Cardano network and handle any returned transaction IDs or errors.
