Jared Flatow - How to Build a Starport (starts at 38:20)

• Jared walked listeners through a guide entitled How to Build a Starport, which enables peer chains to upload/download assets to/from Gateway. The first step is to build the Starport and Cash Token on the peer chain, which can either be separate contracts or the same contract (the guide shows separate contracts). The next step is to add support to the runtime of Gateway, so that Gateway will know how to read events and sign notices from this new Starport. Developers should determine whether Gateway will need to undergo a soft or hard upgrade to support the new Starport. Lastly, a governance proposal on Ethereum can be created to upgrade Gateway to the new runtime. Interested peer chain developers should feel free to post questions in the gateway-chat channel in Discord, and are welcome to apply for a grant to fund the development work!
