# Kredits Contracts
This repository contains the Solidity smart contracts and the JavaScript API wrapper for [Kosmos
Kredits](https://wiki.kosmos.org/Kredits).
## Development
### Installation
#### App dependencies
All requirements are defined in `package.json`.
$ npm install
### Local development chain
We use [hardhat](https://hardhat.org/) 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 Ethereum 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`**
5. 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
## Contract architecture
We use the [OpenZeppelin hardhat proxy](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@openzeppelin/hardhat-upgrades) 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](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@openzeppelin/hardhat-upgrades)
Refer to the OpenZeppelin README and `scripts/create-proxy.js`
[OpenZeppelin Step by Step guide](https://forum.openzeppelin.com/t/openzeppelin-upgrades-step-by-step-tutorial-for-hardhat/3580)
For an upgrade example checkout `scripts/upgrade-example.js`
## Known Issues
When resetting ganache Metamask might have an invalid transaction nonce and
transactions get rejected. Nonces in Ethereum must be incrementing and have no
gap.
To solve this reset the metamask account (Account -> Settings -> Reset Account)
