SKALE Interchain Messaging Agent

SKALE Interchain Messaging Agent (IMA)

A critical note about production readiness

The IMA is still in active development and therefore should be regarded as alpha software. The development is still subject to further security hardening, testing, and breaking changes.

The proxy contracts have been reviewed and audited by a third-parties for security. Please see SECURITY.md for audit reports and reporting policies.

Software Architecture

IMA consists of the following three parts:

1. Mainnet smart contracts.
2. SKALE Chain smart contracts.
3. A containerized Agent application.

Smart contracts are interfaces for any software working with Mainnet and SKALE Chain like other smart contracts deployed there or software connecting these Ethereum networks. The Agent is a Node JS application connecting the smart contracts on Mainnet with SKALE Chains.

Components Structure

Proxy

IMA proxy is the Solidity part of IMA containing Mainnet and SKALE Chain smart contracts.

Agent

IMA Agent is the main application implementing connectivity and message transfer between Mainnet and SKALE Chains. The Agent also provides an easy way to perform ETH, ERC20, and ERC721 transfers between Main Net and S-Chain nevertheless, this can be done without it.

NPMs

The npms folder contains helper modules implementing parts of IMA functionality:

SKALE-IMA
