How to navigate the open alpha version of GoCrypto 2.0

The open alpha version of the GoCrypto 2.0 decentralized payments protocol is now live! We welcome all crypto enthusiasts to try it out and experience how smart contract-driven payments will work in real life.

Access the GoCrypto dApp through the link https://dapp.gocrypto.com/ and discover the future of payments. The open alpha version currently supports the Payments section. 

We also invite you to share your feedback, software bugs and discuss the dApp features through the following form.

Adding BSC Testnet to MetaMask

Before we start, make sure to add BSC Testnet to your MetaMask wallet. Open your Metamask, go to Networks, and add a custom network.

Use the following information to add BSC Testnet to your wallet:

Network Name: BSC Testnet

New RPC URL: https://data-seed-prebsc-1-s1.binance.org:8545

ChainID: 97

Symbol: BNB

Block Explorer URL: https://explorer.binance.org/smart-testnet

Adding test BNB and test GoC tokens for testing GoCrypto 2.0 payments

In order to test the new decentralized payments protocol you will first need to add test BNB coins and test GoC tokens to your MetaMask wallet. 

• For test BNB coins, visit the following website: https://testnet.bnbchain.org/faucet-smart. (Please note that this is a third-party solution and GoCrypto takes no liability for any of the services provided on the relevant website.)
• For test GoC tokens, add the test GoC token address to your MetaMask wallet. Fill out the following form and you will receive 100 test GoC tokens to your MetaMask address shortly.

Creating a company account in GoCrypto dApp

1. Choose Payments on the GoCrypto dApp home screen.

2. You will first need to create an account. Choose Web 3.0 login. Connect your MetaMask (make sure your MetaMask wallet is set to the BSC Testnet network).

3. First time users need to create a company profile. Choose the Add new company option. 

4. You are promped to choose an account type - currently only the Web 3.0 Login is enabled. Select Web 3.0 Login.

5. The GoCrypto 2.0 dApp currently works only on BNB Smart Chain Testnet. Select the testnet option from the drop-down list and confirm the selection.

6. Fill out the company profile information. Please note that this information is only relevant for the invoice generation and will not be shown anywhere else. 

If you already have a company profile created, it will be shown on the list in step 3.

7. Once you fill out the company profile information and click Submit, the protocol generates a smart contract linked to your company. The smart contract is activated once you confirm the transaction in your MetaMask wallet. 

Make sure to always review the transaction details before confirming the transaction.

8. After the transaction is successfully completed, your account is created and you can start issuing invoices. Click on Go to dashboard and get the first feel of the GoCrypto decentralized payments. 

‍Payments dashboard overview

Log in to dApp and open your company account.

The payments dashboard has several tabs: 

‍

Payments are only one of the four larger services that the protocol will support. The Tokenomics, DAO and Bridge features are already in development and will soon be available for general use.
