Have you been wanting to experiment with the wonders of the public blockchain but don’t know where to start? Maybe you know solidity, but you’d like to prototype your ideas faster?

*Disclaimer: NO CODING REQUIRED🤩*

Below you’ll find the steps to create a Ethereum dApp in about 10 minutes.

Making a decentralized application is as easy as a few clicks with the Atra platform. Atra Blockchain Services, a web services platform based out of Seattle, WA, launched a platform on the Ethereum Rinkeby testnet in April this year. Atra’s mission is simple: make blockchain development easy. With Atra you can create, deploy, maintain and share an Ethereum application without the burden of creating and maintaining the infrastructure.

Now, here’s how to make one:

Step 1: Pick one of the following scenarios

  1. Prototyping Proof of Insurance on Ethereum
  2. Prototyping Property Management on Ethereum
  3. Prototyping Inventory Management on Ethereum
  4. Prototyping Supply Chain Shipments on Ethereum
  5. Prototyping Social Feed on Ethereum
  6. Or, something new that you’ve been wanting to build!

Step 2: Get your phone or laptop out and go to console.atra.io

Yes — it’s mobile friendly!!

No coding. No wallet required. No crypto required.

Step 3: Create an account

No billing required, just an email and password.

Everything is FREE! Play around.

Step 4: Start Prototyping

If you want to try on your own, go ahead! It’s easy. You’ll be surprised at how fast you can have a fully functioning dApp, sleek interface included 😎.

If you want more detailed instructions follow along with Atra’s My First dApp tutorial to create your own decentralized social media site!

Within minutes you’ll be able to complete a simple social media dApp you can use and share with friends, or attract new users in the Atraverse!

Quick tip: use the Status Mobile Wallet to have the best mobile experience. You can build the full dApp on Chrome, Safari, etc., but with the Status wallet you can interact with your dApp as the user. [Atra handles all transactions for the creator of the dApp, allowing you to create and deploy smart contracts with no crypto form your end.]
