npm Build Status

Kredits Contracts

This repository contains the Solidity smart contracts and the JavaScript API wrapper for Kosmos Kredits.

Development

Installation

App dependencies

All requirements are defined in package.json.

$ npm install

Local development chain

We use hardhat as development environment for the smart contracts.

To run a local development chain run:

$ npm run devchain # or: hardhat node --network hardhat

Bootstrap

  1. Run an EVM node and ipfs

     $ npm run devchain
     $ ipfs daemon
    
  2. Compile contracts and build ABIs

     (compiled artifacts will be in `/artifacts`)
     $ npm run build
    
  3. Deploy new upgradable contract proxies

     $ npm run deploy:dao
    
  4. Execute seeds to create demo contributors, contributions, etc. (optional)

     $ npm run seeds
    

Step 2-4 is also summarized in npm run bootstrap

  1. Show contract addresses

     $ cat lib/addresses.json
    

Fund a local development account

If you need to fund development accounts with devchain coins:

$ npm run fund # or hardhat fund --network localhost

Specs / Testing

With a local development chain running:

$ hardhat test

If you add or change contract code, please make sure to add and/or adapt tests accordingly. Don't worry, it's easy! You can use existing tests as a template for new ones.

Contract architecture

We use the OpenZeppelin hardhat proxy for deploying and managing upgradeable contracts. (see scripts/create-proxy.js)

Each contract is independent and is connected to its dependencies by storing the addresses of the other contracts.

Helper scripts

scripts/ contains some helper scripts to interact with the contracts from the CLI. At some point these should be moved into a real nice CLI.

To run these scripts use hardhat run. For example: hardhat run scripts/list-contributors.js --network localhost. (NOTE: add --network localhost or the network you want to use)

Some scripts are also defined as npm script, see package.json.

repl/console

Similar to cli.js but only provides a REPL with an initialized kredits instance.

$ hardhat console --network localhost

add-{contributor, contribution, proposal}.js

Script to add a new entries to the contracts using the JS wrapper

$ hardhat run scripts/add-{contributor, contribution, proposal}.js --network localhost

list-{contributors, contributions, proposals}.js

List contract entries

$ hardhat run scripts/list-{contributors, contributions, proposals}.js --network localhost

seeds.js

Run seeds defined in config/seeds.js.

$ npm run seeds

Get the contract addresses

All contract addresses are stored in lib/addresses.json

$ cat lib/addresses.json

Upgradeable contracts

We use OpenZeppelin for an upgradeable contracts: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@openzeppelin/hardhat-upgrades

Refer to the OpenZeppelin README and scripts/create-proxy.js

OpenZeppelin Step by Step guide

For an upgrade example checkout scripts/upgrade-example.js

Deployment to other networks

Deployable networks are configured in the hardhat.config.js.

To deploy to those networks provide the --network argument to the hardhat commands, e.g. --network rsk.

Please note that some npm scripts combine multiple hardhat commands. In those cases the hardhat commands needs to be run manually with the --network argument. (=> don't use npm run bootstrap)

Set a DEPLOY_KEY environment variable with the private key (HEX) which will be used as a root/deploy account

Typical deployment flow:

$ npm run build
$ hardhat run scripts/create-proxy.js --network rsk
# OR with deploy key:
$ DEPLOY_KEY=0xsomething hardhat run scripts/create-proxy.js --network rsk
$ # commit the new addresses in the addresses.json file if needed

To run the console on one of the non localhost networks you can also just pass on the --network argument.

$ hardhat console --network rsk
