Getting Started

Welcome to Muse! This guide will help you understand what Muse is, who it's for, and how to get started with evidence-based impact planning.

What is Muse?

Access Muse

Production (Mainnet)

Use the main application for real impact planning and blockchain attestations:

• URL: https://muse.beaconlabs.io
• Network: Ethereum Mainnet
• Use for: Production logic models, real Hypercerts, permanent evidence attestations

Testnet (Development)

Practice and experiment without real blockchain costs:

• URL: https://dev.muse.beaconlabs.io
• Network: Ethereum Testnet (Sepolia)
• Use for: Learning, testing features, practice minting Hypercerts

Recommended for First-Time Users

Start with the Testnet to explore Muse's features without any costs. Once you're comfortable, switch to Mainnet for your real impact work.

Quick Start: Your First 5 Minutes

Here's how to create your first evidence-based logic model:

1. Visit the App - Go to muse.beaconlabs.io or the testnet
2. Navigate to Canvas - Click on the canvas/logic model builder
3. Generate with AI - Click "Generate Logic Model" and describe your impact goal
   • Example: "OSS impact on Ethereum ecosystem"
   • Example: "Reducing food insecurity in urban communities"
4. Review Results - In ~40 seconds, see your generated logic model with:
   • Cards representing stages (Activities → Outputs → Outcomes → Impact)
   • Arrows showing causal relationships
   • Green edges indicating evidence-backed connections
5. Explore Evidence - Click on green edges to see the peer-reviewed research supporting your logic

That's it! You've created an evidence-based Theory of Change.
