Newlife Template

Newlife is a cloneable project that allows you to create a social network on Newcoin. It is a fully-functional social network for networks that allow users to create profiles, post content, support and power-up other creators' content using GNCO, stake into creator projects, and join creator DAOs. It is a great starting point for building your own social or creator network on Newcoin, and comes preloaded with features that make use of all the SDK has to offer.

Steps to create a Newlife Cloneable​

1. Authenticate​

You can authenticate multiple ways using the SDK, including using our SDKs, NewSafe, or by signing in to your Newlife account.

  • Navigate to the developer console.
  • Authenticate using Newsafe.

2. Navigate or redirect the developer console, and create a new app​

Usually you will be redirected to your app page automatically after authenticating. If you are not, you can navigate yourself to the developer console. Once there you will have the option to create your app.
