## General Information



The [Avalon Blockchain](https://github.com/dtube/avalon/) is a social media blockchain focusing on video sharing. The usual client for this blockchain is [DTube](https://d.tube) which is a javascript based website ([DTube repo here on github](https://github.com/dtube/dtube))

This is a flutter based DTube client to interact with the Avalon blockchain. It includes most of the functionalities a user can do on the website but on a mobile device. 



## App Preview

Below a list of a few features to give you an idea about how DTubeGo looks:

| **Feature** | **Example** | **Additional Information** |

|-------------|-------------|----------------------------|

| **5 different feeds**        |   ![](https://i.imgur.com/AZdMcqL.png)          |             DTubeGo currently offers 5 different feeds aiming for different target audiences. **Original Dtubers** (Only content posted by verified accounts) **New Feed** (all the recently posted content) **Following** (Only content of accounts the user follows) **Hot** (Content ranked by the [Avalon built in "Hot-Algorithm"](https://github.com/dtube/avalon/blob/012713ca0729d2fe452b978fa2b51016402da324/src/rankings.js#L11)) **Trending** (Content ranked by the [Avalon built in "Trending-Algorithm"](https://github.com/dtube/avalon/blob/012713ca0729d2fe452b978fa2b51016402da324/src/rankings.js#L15))

| **Genre explorer**        |      ![](https://i.imgur.com/HP4CAI2.png)       |     As alternative to the basic feeds, the user can filter by several main tags to explore the Avalon Blockchain based on the user's interests. This list will continue to grow over time.                       |

| **Video details**        |        ![](https://i.imgur.com/bSQBpG9.png)     |            DtubeGo uses 2 different video players ([better_player](https://github.com/jhomlala/betterplayer) for videos stored on ipfs/sia and [youtube_player_iframe](https://github.com/sarbagyastha/youtube_player_flutter) for videos stored on youtube. Of course the user can read the markdown description, comment, vote and tip the content from here as well.                |

| **User details**        |       ![](https://i.imgur.com/9aQE1YS.png)      |     Here you can see all posts made by the account, follow and tip the creator. Additionally, we have implemented a  list of suggested users which is calculated by several factors. For example, tags used in the most recent videos compared with other content using those tags as well.                      |

| **Leaderboard**        |      ![](https://i.imgur.com/wZ6wpra.png)       |                 The leaderboard defines which node operating users are counting as block producers and earn rewards for their hosting.          |

| **Rewards**        |       ![](https://i.imgur.com/MJmk1JM.png)       |       The user can claim rewards within the app                     |

| **The DAO of Avalon**        |     ![](https://i.imgur.com/6E4xY9o.png)         |                    The DAO (decentralized autonomous organization) space of DTubeGo currently only supports voting and funding of proposals. Creating proposals can be done on [https://avalonblocks.com/#/governance](https://avalonblocks.com/#/governance).        |



## Technologies

This client is based on various api functions of the [avalon blockchain](https://github.com/dtube/avalon/). The blockchain is maintained by several independent `node leaders` on Avalon. They host one or more of the following components:

- block producing nodes

- observer nodes and 

- api nodes supplying the endpoints to interact with the blockchain.



The token of the Avalon blockchain is called DTube Coin. You can find more about the tokenomics and aspects of avalon on the [Token page of DTube](https://token.d.tube/).



DTubeGo is created with:

* [Flutter](https://github.com/flutter/flutter) basic framework

* [flutter_bloc](https://github.com/felangel/bloc/tree/master/packages/flutter_bloc) state management

* [better_player](https://github.com/jhomlala/betterplayer) player for videos stored on ipfs / sia 

* [youtube_player_iframe](https://github.com/sarbagyastha/youtube_player_flutter) player for videos stored on youtube

* [cached_network_image](https://github.com/Baseflow/flutter_cached_network_image) image caching for thumbnails and account avatars

* [video_compress](https://github.com/jonataslaw/VideoCompress) we compress videos uploaded with the app

* [flutter_secure_storage](https://github.com/mogol/flutter_secure_storage) the way we store application related settings

* [flutter_markdown](https://github.com/flutter/packages/tree/main/packages/flutter_markdown) displaying markdown

* various other cryptography and UI related packages (see pubspec.yaml)

* 

## Future plans

You can find more planned changes in the [issues](https://github.com/dtube/DTubeGo/issues) of this repository.



## Source Compilation

We have a few files we can not push into this repository because they contain sensitive and secret values like API keys, decryption methods and such. So if you clone this repo you will run into compilation issues and you will have to ask us for these files. We can give you those without the information manually via discord (see [Communication](#communication)).



## Contribution

There is a [DAO for the Avalon Blockchain](https://avalonblocks.com/#/governance) on which every user can create proposals to get backing for their planned work by the community. Of course you can also contribute as a volunteer.



## Communication

You can reach the developers, node leaders and the community by joining the [DTube Discord Server](https://discord.gg/s6Z4UCb45k).
