MechaMesh Developer Guide
Build on MechaMesh
This comprehensive guide will help you understand the MechaMesh platform architecture, APIs, and SDKs to build powerful robot-powered applications.
Getting Started with MechaMesh
Welcome to the MechaMesh developer documentation. This guide will help you get started with building applications on the MechaMesh platform, a decentralized network for robot coordination, AI swarm intelligence, and tokenized robot assets.
Prerequisites
- Basic understanding of blockchain technology and smart contracts
- Familiarity with Solana or Ethereum development
- Experience with JavaScript/TypeScript and React
- Understanding of robotics APIs (optional but helpful)
Platform Architecture
MechaMesh consists of several key components that work together to create a decentralized robotics platform:
Blockchain Layer
Built on Solana for high throughput and low transaction costs, handling token economics, robot registration, and verification.
Middleware Layer
Connects blockchain to robots through secure APIs, handles data processing and task distribution.
Robot Integration Layer
SDK and firmware components that allow robots to connect to the MechaMesh network and execute tasks.
Setting Up Your Development Environment
Follow these steps to set up your development environment for MechaMesh:
# Install MechaMesh CLI
npm install -g mechamesh-cli
# Initialize a new MechaMesh project
mechamesh init my-robot-app
# Change to project directory
cd my-robot-app
# Install dependencies
npm install
Key Concepts
Before diving into development, it's important to understand these key concepts in the MechaMesh ecosystem:
Robot Registration
The process of adding a robot to the MechaMesh network, creating a unique on-chain identity with verifiable credentials.
Task Marketplace
A decentralized marketplace where users can post tasks for robots to complete, with automatic payment and verification.
Swarm Intelligence
Coordinated AI systems that allow multiple robots to work together efficiently on complex tasks.
Insurance Pools
Decentralized insurance mechanism to protect against robot malfunctions or damages during task execution.
