🚀 CrossChain Rebase Token Protocol

🎯 Advanced DeFi Protocol: Cross-Chain Rebase Tokens with Vault-Based Yield Generation

Features • Architecture • Quick Start • Contracts • Testing

🌟 What is CrossChain Rebase Token?

CrossChain Rebase Token (RBT) is a sophisticated DeFi protocol that revolutionizes yield farming through:

📈 Rebase Mechanics - Automatic token supply adjustments based on accrued yield
🌐 Cross-Chain Interoperability - Seamless bridging across multiple blockchains (Ethereum, zkSync, Arbitrum, Polygon)
💰 Vault-Based Yield - Users deposit ETH and earn interest through smart contract mechanics
🔒 Interest Rate Protocol - Dynamic, monotonically decreasing interest rates protecting early depositors

Contract Relationships

User Interaction Flow:
─────────────────────

Step 1: Deposit ETH
  User ──► Vault.deposit()

Step 2: Mint RBT Token
  Vault ──► RebaseToken.mint(user, amount)
         ├─ Records interest rate at deposit time
         ├─ Stores deposit timestamp
         └─ Updates user balance

Step 3: Earn Yield
  RebaseToken ──► Automatic rebase calculation
                ├─ Time elapsed since deposit
                ├─ User's locked interest rate
                └─ New balance = old balance × (1 + rate × time)

Step 4: Redeem (Optional)
  User ──► Vault.redeem(amount)
        ──► RebaseToken.burn(user, amount)
        ──► Return ETH to user

📝 Smart Contracts Details

1. RebaseToken.sol 🎪

Main ERC20 token contract with rebase mechanics

contract RebaseToken is ERC20, Ownable, AccessControl

Key Variables:

- s_interestRate: Current global interest rate (default: 5%)
- s_userInterestRate[user]: Each user's locked rate
- s_userLastUpdatedTimestamp[user]: Last rebase timestamp
- MINTER_BURN_ROLE: Permission role for vault

Core Functions:

Function	Purpose	Access	Gas
`setInterestRate(uint256 newRate)`	Update global rate (must decrease)	Owner	~25K
`mint(address to, uint256 amount)`	Create tokens (called by vault)	MINTER	~85K
`burn(address from, uint256 amount)`	Destroy tokens (called by vault)	MINTER	~75K
`grantMinterRole(address minter)`	Assign minting permission	Owner	~45K
`balanceOf(address)`	Get user balance with rebase applied	Public	View

Key Events:

event InterestRateUpdated(uint256 indexed newInterestRate);
event Mint(address indexed to, uint256 amount);
event Burn(address indexed from, uint256 amount);

Interest Rate Mechanism:

Initial Rate: 5.0e10 (5%)
├─ User deposits → Rate LOCKED (immutable per user)
├─ Global rate ↓ 4% → ✅ Allowed
├─ Global rate ↓ 3% → ✅ Allowed
└─ Global rate ↑ 6% → ❌ BLOCKED (monotonic decrease only)

2. Vault.sol 💳

Handles user deposits and redemptions

contract Vault {
    IRebaseToken private immutable i_rebaseToken;
}

Core Functions:

Function	Purpose	Input	Payable	Output
`deposit()`	Deposit ETH, receive RBT	ETH value	✅ Yes	RBT tokens
`redeem(uint256 amount)`	Burn RBT, receive ETH	Amount	❌ No	ETH
`receive()`	Accept ETH transfers	-	✅ Yes	-

Transaction Flow Example:

User sends 1 ETH to deposit():
│
├─► i_rebaseToken.mint(user, 1e18)
│   ├─ Creates 1 RBT token
│   ├─ Records s_userInterestRate[user] = 5%
│   └─ Sets s_userLastUpdatedTimestamp[user] = now
│
└─► emit Deposit(user, 1e18)

After 1 year at 5% interest:
├─ Balance becomes: 1 RBT × (1 + 0.05 × 1 year) = 1.05 RBT
└─ User profits 0.05 RBT worth of yield

Events:

event Deposit(address indexed user, uint256 amount);
event Redeem(address indexed user, uint256 amount);

3. RebaseTokenPool.sol 🏊

Pool management and liquidity operations

Provides additional functionality for token pool management and aggregated operations.

4. IRebaseToken.sol 📋

Interface definition for RebaseToken

interface IRebaseToken {
    function mint(address to, uint256 amount) external;
    function burn(address from, uint256 amount) external;
    function balanceOf(address account) external view returns (uint256);
}

Example Test Scenario

// Test: User deposits and earns interest
function testDepositAndRebase() public {
    // 1. User deposits 10 ETH
    vault.deposit{value: 10 ether}();
    
    // 2. Check RBT balance (should be 10 RBT)
    assertEq(rebaseToken.balanceOf(user), 10e18);
    
    // 3. Wait 365 days
    vm.warp(block.timestamp + 365 days);
    
    // 4. Check new balance with interest
    // Expected: 10 * (1 + 0.05) = 10.5
    assertEq(rebaseToken.balanceOf(user), 10.5e18);
}

📊 Key Mechanics Explained

Rebase Formula

The core yield calculation uses this formula:

New Balance = Original Balance × (1 + Interest Rate × Time Elapsed / 1 year)

Where:
- Original Balance: Tokens at deposit time
- Interest Rate: User's locked rate (e.g., 5% = 5e10)
- Time Elapsed: Seconds since deposit
- Precision Factor: 1e18 (for safe math)

Example Calculation:

User deposits: 10 RBT at 5% interest rate
After 6 months (183 days):
├─ Time elapsed = 183 days = 15,811,200 seconds
├─ Annual seconds = 31,536,000 seconds
├─ Interest accrued = 10 × 0.05 × (183/365) = 0.25 RBT
└─ New balance = 10.25 RBT

After 1 year:
└─ New balance = 10 × 1.05 = 10.5 RBT

🐛 Debugging & Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Error	Cause	Solution
`InterestRateCanOnlyDecrease`	Tried to increase interest rate	Rates must only decrease or stay same
`ReddemFailed`	ETH transfer failed	Check vault balance and recipient
`AccessControlUnauthorizedAccount`	Not MINTER role	Grant MINTER_BURN_ROLE to account
`InsufficientBalance`	Trying to redeem more than owned	Check user balance first

Debug Logging

# Run tests with detailed traces
forge test -vvv

# See console output from contract
forge test --match-test "testName" -vv

# Use Foundry debugger (interactive)
forge test --match-test "testFunction" --debug
