Mainnet Access
In order to use TACo in production – i.e. the fully decentralized version of TACo, with independent nodes managing private material – adopting developers must be furnished with their own cohort of nodes which can subsequently be used by the application for encryption/decryption and signing.
The cohort along with the authority of the cohort will be exclusively controlled by the developer until they decide to devolve that power to a DAO, multisig, or any kind of contract. Developers interested in their own cohort must follow these steps:
(1) Make a request fin the TACo discord server, which will be answered by TACo's core development team.
(2) Provide the Polygon wallet address you wish to designate as cohortAdmin. This address will exclusively control the cohort of nodes.
(3) Prepare the funds (in DAI) to pay mainnet usage fees. A single payment is made upfront, before the cohort is formed, and covers both parts of the fee model (duration & per-user). The total sum in DAI depends on:
a. the number of nodes required (min. 30)
b. the duration of node rental required (min. 12 months)
c. (*only for decryption) the number of unique/reusable encryptors credits required (min. 100)
For more details, see the Mainnet Fees section. (4) Complete the payment into a proxy contract, which will escrow the funds until the cohort formation is complete. Once completed, the payment will be transferred.
In TACo's genesis era, the proxy contract will act as an temporarysponsorof the cohort. Note that the sponsor role does not have any power over the cohort. Rather, the designated Polygon address – thecohortAdminrole – will have complete control.
(4) Complete the set-up by following the instructions in the TACo Mainnet Deployment.
