Hyperchains Contract

Proxy lib for the AEternity project. When used as a dependency, provides compiled and ready to use StakingContract.json

The source code (in Sophia programming language) for the contract is in /contracts/Election.aes

The contract can be included in a rebar project (as described in section A of this README) or built and tested manually (section B).

Usage

There are two ways to use the contract provided.

A. Automatic building as a rebar3 dependency

In a basic case there is no need to build it specifically, just dep it in the rebar.config:

{deps, [{hyperchains_contract, {git, "git://github.com/aeternity/hyperchains-contract.git",}}]}

Make sure NOT to use ref or tag tuple (as it will be updated in due time).

The contract compilation target is /data/aehyperchains/StakingContract.json, so make sure the dir exists.

Globally registered rebar3 used; if a project defined one is preferred (which generally is not a good idea), change the {compile, "rebar3 ... line in rebar.config to {compile, "./rebar3 ...

B. Manual building when developing locally

Dependencies:

• Docker;
• aeproject: npm install -g aeproject.

A typical dev cycle would go like this:

# start environment
$ aeproject env

# compile contract
$ aeproject compile

# run tests
$ aeproject test
