Playground — Try It in the Browser

A live test network with bot community members, running abantu, iwacu, and isoko right in your browser — no install, disposable data.
This is the summer 2026 guide.
Some of it has changed since. A new guide (v1) is being written.

Playground — Try It in the Browser

Before you install anything, you can try the real apps at playground.paramira.org — no APK, no account, nothing to set up. It embeds abantu, iwacu, and a lighter isoko directly in the page, all pointed at a dedicated test network instead of the real one.

The test network

Everything you do in the playground happens on infrastructure that exists only for this purpose — its own relays, its own directory, seeded with bot community members (test-seller, test-mediator, and others) that respond to real trades, real disputes, real votes. A banner across the top reminds you: TEST NETWORK — this is not the production relay, and the data is disposable.

That trade-off is what makes the playground useful for learning: you can join a community, adopt a protocol, dispute a delivery, and watch a bot mediator actually resolve it — all real protocol behaviour, none of it touching anything that matters.

Getting started

Open the playground and create a browser identity right there — the same Ed25519 keypair mechanism the real apps use, just stored in this browser tab instead of a phone. No install, and nothing here follows you to the real network; identities and adoptions made in the playground are specific to the test relays.

From the home screen you can:

  • Watch the bot roster and live test-market listings.
  • Jump into the embedded abantu to join the seeded test community and explore protocols.
  • Jump into the embedded iwacu to build a tree and try the family-history features.
  • Open the embedded isoko web-lite for the market/deliveries/dispute loop, including switching between your own identity and any of the bot accounts to see both sides of a trade.

  • Reset the network state for your session, or export your test identity's bundle.
The embedded apps are the real apps, not simplified copies — same code, same protocol behaviour, pointed at test infrastructure instead of production. What you learn here transfers directly to abantu, iwacu, and isoko.

Tutorials

The playground's other half is a set of guided, interactive tutorials — pick one, and it walks you through a real feature step by step, right there in the embedded app, checking your progress as you go.
