What is a MiniDapp?
A MiniDapp (Minima Decentralised Application) is a lightweight web application that runs locally on your own Minima node. Unlike conventional web applications, a MiniDapp does not rely on a central server. Instead, it communicates directly with your own node through Minima’s JavaScript API and JSON/RPC interface.
Think of a MiniDapp as the equivalent of an app on your smartphone—but instead of running on Apple or Google infrastructure, it runs on your own blockchain node.
MiniHub
MiniHub is the application launcher and management interface for installed MiniDapps.
For Satomotive users it becomes the starting point for vehicle dashboards, wallet tools, messaging applications and engineering utilities.
Security
Security provides node back-up, restoration and protection functions.
A Satomotive node may contain wallet keys, tokens, vehicle identities and service permissions. Back-up and recovery are therefore fundamental, particularly for permanently installed vehicle or fleet nodes.
Wallet
Wallet provides balances, transaction history and the transfer of Minima and custom tokens.
It supports future Satomotive functions such as:
- Mobility rewards
- Charging credits
- Parking payments
- Fleet incentives
- Data payments
- Vehicle-triggered transactions
Health
Health reports the Minima version, block status and overall node condition. This is particularly valuable for Raspberry Pi, vehicle and unattended fleet installations. (docs.minima.global)
A Satomotive-specific dashboard should eventually surface these health indicators alongside CAN, GNSS and communications status.
Dapp Store
The Dapp Store provides straightforward application discovery and installation.
For Satomotive, it offers a future distribution route for driver, vehicle, fleet and developer MiniDapps without requiring a conventional mobile application store.
MaxContacts
MaxContacts manages the addressing required for Maxima-based communication.
Satomotive contacts might represent:
- Drivers
- Vehicles
- Fleet managers
- Workshops
- Chargers
- Roadside devices
- Service providers
MaxSolo
MaxSolo demonstrates secure one-to-one messaging over Maxima.
Its main value to Satomotive is not ordinary chat, but the underlying model for:
- Diagnostic alerts
- Vehicle-to-owner notifications
- Fleet instructions
- Charging messages
- Payment and token attachments
- Links to vehicle data
- Images from vehicle systems
Maxima uses relay hosts selected from previously connected nodes, but message content remains encrypted for its intended recipient. (docs.minima.global)
Token Studio
Token Studio demonstrates accessible creation of fungible and non-fungible tokens.
Relevant Satomotive uses include:
- Sustainable-mobility rewards
- Charging credits
- Vehicle identities
- Infrastructure identities
- Access rights
- Battery passports
- Data-provenance records
It is useful both as an end-user application and as a demonstration of token operations that future Satomotive MiniDapps can automate.
Terminal
Terminal exposes the Minima command set directly.
It is indispensable for:
- Inspecting node state
- Testing token operations
- Querying balances and transactions
- Testing Maxima
- Debugging application behaviour
- Investigating RPC responses
- Prototyping before building a user interface
It should remain hidden from ordinary driver workflows but readily available through a developer mode.
Block
Block provides a visual blockchain explorer for inspecting blocks and transactions.
It is valuable for validating:
- Token creation
- Reward transfers
- Vehicle-triggered payments
- Data-access transactions
- Identity or entitlement operations
