Too Long; Didn't Read
Launching a dapp may not be as hard as launching a rocket… but it’s no moonwalk, either. A dapp, portmanteau of “decentralized app,” is any app that runs on decentralized infrastructure, like on Ethereum. For your coding pleasure, our team is happy to present Muttniks, a friendly Ethereum space doggo “kernel” (or kennel) that you can build from the comfort of your spacecraft. Muttniks is an open source sample dapp, built to guide you through our exciting journey with Astro Ledger. Like the real stars and planets featured on <a href="https://www.astroledger.org">astroledger.org</a>, you can securely adopt, name, and trade Ethereum space doggos with Muttniks (and then donate your testnet ETH to build more <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laika">Laika</a> monuments). The following is a step-by-step technical exploration of the inner workings of Astro Ledger, which you can recreate on your local machine with Muttniks.
