Next Steps

You’ve now built a full Metanet 3D-Marketplace where users can upload and purchase files! This includes:

• A frontend with Upload, Store, Details, and Account pages
• A backend overlay that admits objects and facilitates secure querying and lookups
• A key server managing encryption keys, payments, balances, and withdrawals

Deploying Your Marketplace

We’ve been running all three services locally with LARS (and Node for the key server), but moving them to production is quite simple!

1. Frontend & Overlay

   • Configure your deployment-info.json for CARS
   • Update frontend/src/constants.ts to point keyServer at your production key-server URL
   • Run cars build 1 and cars release now 1 (replace 1 with your production CARS configuration index)

2. Key Server

   • Push key-server/ to your preferred cloud provider (GCP, AWS, etc.)
   • Set environment variables from your .env (MongoDB URI, private keys, network preset, etc.)
   • Start the server

Once deployed, users can browse, purchase, and manage files in your live marketplace!

2. What’s Next?

This demo can be the foundation for any Web-3 ecommerce site and can be built upon to become:

• Sell digital art, ebooks, music, or tickets
• Add search filters, ratings, comments, or subscriptions
• Integrate analytics, email notifications, or multi-chain support

Make it yours!
