ideal-lab5/contracts

A smart contract toolkit for using verifiable randomness in ink! smart contracts

Ideal Labs Contracts Toolkit

Tools and examples for building ink! smart contracts that use publicly verifiable on-chain randomness.

Usage

Follow the ink! documentation for a complete guide on getting started.

To use this library, you must be running a node that supports:

• arkworks host functions
• the drand bridge pallet
• ink! smart contracts

You can find an example node here.

All contracts under the examples folder are outdated and under construction.

Configuration

To use in a smart contract, at idl-contract-extension to the cargo.toml

[dependencies]
idl-contract-extension = { git = "https://github.com/ideal-lab5/contracts.git", default-features = false, features = ["ink-as-dependency"] }

[features]
std = [
    ...
    "idl-contract-extension/std",
]

and configure the contract environment to use the DrandEnvironment

use idl_contract_extension::ext::DrandEnvironment;
#[ink::contract(env = DrandEnvironment)]
mod your_smart_contract {
    use crate::DrandEnvironment;
    ...
}

Chain Extension

self.env()
    .extension()
    .random();

Build

cargo +nightly contract build

Testing

Unit Tests

Unit tests can be run with

cargo +nightly test

E2E tests

End-to-end tests reequires that you run a node locally and provide it's absolute path (e.g. /home/.../substrate/target/release/node-template).

export CONTRACTS_NODE="YOUR_CONTRACTS_NODE_PATH"
cargo +nightly test --features e2e-tests

Note on Binaryen/wasm-opt

If your package manager doesn't have binaryen versions >= 99, then:

• Download the latest version here: https://github.com/WebAssembly/binaryen/releases

• follow these instrutions to install:

# unzip the tarball
sudo tar xzvf binaryezn-version_100-x86_64-linux.tar.gz
# update permissions
chmod +x binaryen-version_100
# move to /opt
sudo mv binaryen-version_100 /opt/
# navigate to /opt
cd /opt
# make it executable
chmod +x binaryen-version_100
# add symbolic link to /usr/bin
sudo ln -s /opt/binaryen-version_100/bin/wasm-opt /usr/bin/wasm-opt

Verify the installation by running wasm-opt --version. If the command executes and the printed version matches the downloaded version, then the installation is complete.
