💻Verra Redd_3 User Journey Demo UI Guide

In this Demo Guide we will describe the user journey for the Verra policy workflow, including the users that are involved within the creation of the Verra policy.

Here are the users that will be involved within this Verra policy demo UI:

1. Standard Registry

2. VVB

3. VVB 2

4. Project Proponent

You will need to run the installation commands, open a tab on your browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000/.

In this demo we will import the Verra REDD Policy.

Verra REDD_3 for the Standard Registry

Here in this demo from the standard registry we are creating an account, importing the REDD_3 policy, approving the submission from other users and minting the policy.

Step 1

The first step is that you will need to either login in to your account that you have previously created or create a new account.

To create a new account you will need to click on “Create new” which will then lead you to the page to add the necessary information.

Note: You can also access the ‘Demo Admin Panel’ where you can just select the ‘Verra’ for demo purposes.

Step 2

Once you have added the correct details to configure your account, you will need to either use your own Hedera credentials or, if you do not have them, press the “Generate” button to generate a Hedera Operator ID and an Operator Key. This will create your Hedera Consensus Service Topic, show your hBar balance, DID document and a Verifiable Credential etc. Then click on “Next”.

You will need to follow the step below to Configure your account. Here you will need to configure your account. You will need to enter the details shown in the image below.

Step 3

Once you have completed the previous steps you can see the navigation menu and select “Policies” . After you have selected “Policies” you will have the two options to either “Create Policy” or “Import” a policy.

In this case we want to “import” a policy which will also import all schemas and tokens, which will be automatically populated.

Step 4

Once you have decided that you want to import a specific Verra Policy, you will need to choose one of the following Hedera message IDs.

For this demo we will use the Verra REDD 3.

Once you have chosen one, you will add this to the ‘Hedera message Timestamp’ pop up which will then allow you to preview the policy. If you intend to import this policy as a new version of another that you have already been using, just select which policy you wish to refer to under the “Version of”. Once you have done your preview you can click on “Import”.

Step 5

Once the policy has been imported successfully, you can see the options to either “Publish” or “Dry Run” (test run of the policy) .

Step 6

We will then want to add the version of the REDD 3 policy, we will just add this policy as the 1st version and then click on “Publish”.

After we have clicked on “publish” we see the policy is now with the status “Published”.

Step 7 ( only continue once the VVB name is submitted)

Under the “Policies” menu, click on “Go” for the desired policy name row and “Instance” column in order to access the various operations that are possible within. Once the VVB name is submitted for approval you will need to review the document and either “Approve” or “Reject”.

In this case we will approve the submission

Step 8 ( only continue once the Project Proponent is waiting to be added)

Once the Project Proponent has completed their details regarding the Project, you will need to view their document and add them to the project. To do this you will select the “Policies” on the navigation menu, select the REDD_3 policy and then the “Project Pipeline”. You can then see the Project Proponent waiting to be added.

Once you have clicked on the “Add” button you will have to wait for Validation.

Step 9 ( only continue once the VVB 2 has verified the report)

Once the project has been verified by the VVB 2, you can now click on the “Mint” button where you will mint the policy.

Step 10

Once the minting has been completed you will see the project on the “Token History” with the ability to click on to view the TrustChain.
