6. Test the Contributor Flow

Now that everything’s set up, let’s test the full flow from a data contributor’s perspective.

  1. Open the Contributor UI at localhost:3000.
  2. Click Sign in with Google to authorize access to your Drive
  3. Click Connect Wallet → choose any wallet with Moksha testnet support + some testnet $VANA
  4. Click Contribute Google Data
  5. The app will:
    • Encrypt your data client-side
    • Store it in your Google Drive
    • Trigger your Proof of Contribution
    • Register the result onchain
    • Send the data to your refiner for processing
  6. Track each stage in the UI — from upload to onchain registration and reward confirmation
  7. To verify tx onchain, search your wallet or DataDAO contract on Vanascan (Moksha)
  8. Once complete, the data contributor will receive a reward in your VRC-20 token — the token you deployed earlier — directly in their wallet.

🎉 Done

Your DataDAO is now live on the Moksha testnet — you’ve deployed the contracts, registered the DataDAO, wired up PoC and refinement, and confirmed that contributors are rewarded onchain with your VRC-20 token.


What’s Next?

  1. Customize the UI and dataset structure
  2. Update PoC logic to enforce your real contribution criteria
  3. Prepare for Mainnet launch
  4. Join the #data-dao channel on Vana Discord to connect with other builders
  5. Apply to the next batch of Vana Academy (applications close May 28)
