Porter
Porter can be described as the “Infura for TACo”. Porter is a web-based service that performs TACo-based protocol operations for applications.
Its goal is to simplify and abstract the complexities surrounding the TACo protocol to negate the need for applications to interact with it via a Python client. Porter introduces the TACo protocol to cross-platform functionality, including web and mobile applications.
Any publicly available Porter can be used to interface with the Threshold Network, or some application developers opt to run their own.
- HTTPS: To run the Porter service over HTTPS, it will require a TLS key and a TLS certificate.
- Authentication: Usage restriction via authentication protocols, e.g. basic authentication etc.
Ideally, you would run Porter behind a reverse proxy (e.g. nginx) for additional functionality such as HTTPS, CORS, authentication etc.
By default, Porter runs on port
