Ecosystem operations on chain

Outline. The material of this module is being written by the Showcase and Certification Working Group. The objectives, outline and assessment below are the agreed scope for program version 2026.1.

8 class hours. Assessed by: lab.

Learning objectives

After this module you can:

1. Create a Corporation, authorize operators and fee grants, and explain the group policy.
2. Create an Ecosystem with its DID and governance framework digest, and anchor a credential schema.
3. Create the root participant, accredit grantors, validate applicants from pending tasks, set and change effective windows.
4. Query the indexer, the graph and the resolver, and answer a TRQP question.
5. Manage keys and accounts safely: mnemonics, hardware-backed keys, separation of duties.

Prerequisites

C1, C2, C3, C4. A terminal; test-network coins from the faucet.

Outline

1. Accounts and keys

Keyring, mnemonics, the faucet; separation between personal, operator and agent accounts; where keys must never be.

2. Corporations in practice

Creating the group and policy in the frontend and the CLI; proposals versus operators; VS operator authorization; fee grants.

3. Ecosystems and schemas

Creating the ecosystem; the DID and its control; anchoring the governance framework; defining a schema; what is immutable.

4. Participants

Root with fees; grantors; onboarding processes from the applicant and the validator side; pending tasks; discounts; windows; revocation.

5. Reading everything

Indexer entities and resolve; the trust graph; the resolver; TRQP authorization and recognition queries.

Assessment

Lab on the test network: a Corporation, an Ecosystem, a schema with ecosystem onboarding, a root, one validated issuer, one TRQP query answered. Automated check: the ecosystem exists with the expected schema and root participant.
