Vomia is a decentralized peer-to-peer exchange built by Africans for Africa and the world. The motivation behind creating Vomia is the growing need for decentralized off-ramping and on-ramping services, especially following issues between Binance and some governments.
- Order Types: There are two types of orders -
SellandBuyorders. - Seller Actions: A seller places a sell order.
- Contract Interaction: This triggers the
transferof the corresponding amount ofcUSDto thecontract address. - Buyer Actions: A buyer marks the order as active, preventing other potential buyers from accessing it.
- Fiat Transfer: The buyer makes a fiat transfer of the equivalent amount held in the contract escrow to the seller's bank details.
- Completion: The seller then calls the paid function, triggering the transfer of the funds from the
contract addressto thebuyer's wallet.
- Smart Contract: The smart contract was written in Solidity, compiled, tested, and deployed on both the Celo mainnet and Alfajores testnet via Remix.
- Frontend: The frontend was bootstrapped with the
Celo Composerboilerplate code. UsingTypeScriptandTailwind CSSmade the development process enjoyable. - Interaction: Smart contract interaction was facilitated through Wagmi, Viem, and BrowserProvider.
- Deployment Issues: Initially, Vercel was rejecting the deployment despite successfully running yarn build locally, likely due to a node version discrepancy.
- Lack of Backend: There is no backend yet, especially to store messages.
- UI Design: Choosing the right UI colors was challenging. I joked with a friend that this site is the second most beautiful thing I've ever built, after my mindset.
- Build the offchain backend as we prepare for the next accelerator phase.
- MVP: This is our Minimum Viable Product (MVP).
- Backend Development: Build the backend by September.
- Smart Contract Audit: Conduct a smart contract audit by October.
- Full Launch: Fully launch on Minipay before December.
