Usage

Install package from NPM using

npm i @maticnetwork/pos-portal

Develop

Make sure you've NodeJS & NPM installed

user:pos-portal anjan$ node --version
v12.18.1

user:pos-portal anjan$ npm --version
6.14.5

Clone repository & install all dependencies

git clone https://github.com/maticnetwork/pos-portal
cd pos-portal

npm i

Compile all contracts

npm run template:process
npm run build

If you prefer not using docker for compiling contracts, consider setting docker: false in truffle-config.js.

// file: truffle-config.js
...

127|    solc: {
128|        version: '0.6.6',
129|        docker: false,
        }
...

For deploying all contracts in pos-portal, we need to have at least two chains running --- simulating RootChain ( Ethereum ) & ChildChain ( Polygon ). There are various ways of building this multichain setup, though two of them are majorly used

1. With matic-cli
2. Without matic-cli

matic-cli is a project, which makes setting up all components of Ethereum <-> Polygon multichain ecosystem easier. Three components matic-cli sets up for you

• Ganache ( simulating RootChain )
• Heimdall ( validator node of Polygon )
• Bor ( block production layer of Polygon i.e. ChildChain )

You may want to check matic-cli.

---

1. With matic-cli

Assuming you've installed matic-cli & set up single node local network by following this guide, it's good time to start all components seperately as mentioned in matic-cli README.

This should give you RPC listen addresses for both RootChain ( read Ganache ) & ChildChain ( read Bor ), which need to updated in pos-portal/truffle-config.js. Also note Mnemonic you used when setting up local network, we'll make use of it for migrating pos-portal contracts.

matic-cli generates ~/localnet/config/contractAddresses.json, given you decided to put network setup in ~/localnet directory, which contains deployed Plasma contract addresses. We're primarily interested in Plasma RootChain ( deployed on RootChain, as name suggests aka Checkpoint contract ) & StateReceiver contract ( deployed on Bor ). These two contract addresses need to be updated here.

You may not need to change stateReceiver field, because that's where Bor deploys respective contract, by default.

Plasma RootChain contract address is required for setting checkpoint manager in PoS RootChainManager contract during migration. PoS RootChainManager will talk to Checkpointer contract for verifying PoS exit proof.

// file: migrations/config.js

module.exports = {
  plasmaRootChain: '0x<fill-it-up>', // aka checkpointer
  stateReceiver: '0x0000000000000000000000000000000000001001'
}

Now you can update preferred mnemonic to be used for migration in truffle config

// file: truffle-config.js

29| const MNEMONIC = process.env.MNEMONIC || '<preferred-mnemonic>'

Also consider updating network configurations for root & child in truffle-config.js

// make sure host:port of RPC matches properly
// that's where all following transactions to be sent

52| root: {
        host: 'localhost',
        port: 9545,
        network_id: '*', // match any network
        skipDryRun: true,
        gas: 7000000,
        gasPrice: '0'
    },
    child: {
        host: 'localhost',
        port: 8545,
        network_id: '*', // match any network
        skipDryRun: true,
        gas: 7000000,
        gasPrice: '0'
67| },

Now start migration, which is 4-step operation

Migration Step	Effect
migrate:2	Deploys all rootchain contracts, on Ganache
migrate:3	Deploys all childchain contracts, on Bor
migrate:4	Initialises rootchain contracts, on Ganache
migrate:5	Initialises childchain contracts, on Bor

# assuming you're in root of pos-portal

npm run migrate # runs all steps

You've deployed all contracts required for pos-portal to work properly. All these addresses are put into ./contractAddresses.json, which you can make use of for interacting with them.

If you get into any problem during deployment, it's good idea to take a look at truffle-config.js or package.json --- and attempt to modify fields need to be modified.

Migration files are kept here ./migrations/{1,2,3,4,5}*.js

---

2. Without matic-cli

You can always independently start a Ganache instance to act as RootChain & Bor node as ChildChain, without using matic-cli. But in this case no Heimdall nodes will be there --- depriving you of StateSync/ Checkpointing etc. where validator nodes are required.

Start RootChain by

npm run testrpc # RPC on localhost:9545 --- default

Now start ChildChain ( requires docker )

npm run bor # RPC on localhost:8545 --- default

If you ran a bor instance before, a dead docker container might still be lying around, clean it using following command:

npm run bor:clean # optional

Run testcases

npm run test

Deploy contracts on local Ganache & Bor instance

npm run migrate

This should generate ./contractAddresses.json, which contains all deployed contract addresses --- use it for interacting with those.

Production

Use this guide for deploying contracts in Ethereum Mainnet.

1. Moonwalker needs rabbitmq and local geth running

docker run -d -p 5672:5672 -p 15672:15672 rabbitmq:3-management
npm run testrpc

2. Export env vars

export MNEMONIC=
export FROM=
export PROVIDER_URL=
export ROOT_CHAIN_ID=
export CHILD_CHAIN_ID=
export PLASMA_ROOT_CHAIN=
export GAS_PRICE=

3. Compile contracts

npm run template:process -- --root-chain-id $ROOT_CHAIN_ID --child-chain-id $CHILD_CHAIN_ID
npm run build

4. Add root chain contract deployments to queue

npm run truffle exec moonwalker-migrations/queue-root-deployment.js

5. Process queue (rerun if interrupted)

node moonwalker-migrations/process-queue.js

6. Extract contract addresses from moonwalker output

node moonwalker-migrations/extract-addresses.js

7. Deploy child chain contracts

npm run truffle -- migrate --network mainnetChild --f 3 --to 3

8. Add root chain initializations to queue

node moonwalker-migrations/queue-root-initializations.js

9. Process queue (rerun if interrupted)

node moonwalker-migrations/process-queue.js

10. Initialize child chain contracts

npm run truffle -- migrate --network mainnetChild --f 5 --to 5

11. Register State Sync

• Register RootChainManager and ChildChainManager on StateSender
• Set stateSenderAddress on RootChainManager
• Grant STATE_SYNCER_ROLE on ChildChainManager

Command scripts (Management scripts)

npm run truffle exec scripts/update-implementation.js -- --network <network-name> <new-address>

---

Transfer proxy ownership and admin role

Set list of contract addresses and new owner address in 6_change_owners.js migration script
Set MNEMONIC and API_KEY as env variables

npm run change-owners -- --network <network-name>
