Race Ronin Chain

An (almost) on-chain game where you race the Ronin chain based on block hashes using the Foundry framework.

See the full details in the Chainstack Developer Portal — Ronin: On-Chain meta racing game

Prerequisites

Before you start, ensure you have the following:

• Chainstack account: Needed to deploy a Ronin node. Start for free.
• Foundry: Used for compiling, testing, and deploying the contract. Follow the installation instructions here.
• web3.py: Necessary for participation and winner calculation & submission scripts. Installation can be done via pip: pip install web3.

Quick Start

1. Clone the repository: Access all necessary files for the game.

   git clone https://github.com/Chainstacklabs/race-ronin-chain.git
   cd race-ronin-chain
   

2. Add your Chainstack RPC node: Add your Chainstack RPC node URL to the foundry.toml file.

   [profile.default]
   version = "0.8.19"
   src = "src"
   out = "out"
   libs = ["lib"]
   eth_rpc_url = "CHAINSTACK_NODE_ENDPOINT"
   

3. Generate the contract ABI: If you modify the contract, generate a new ABI with:

forge build --silent && jq '.abi' ./out/RaceRoninChain.sol/RaceRoninChain.json > ./abi/RaceRoninChain.abi

3. Deploy the contract: Ronin does not support EIP-1559, so use legacy transactions.

forge create src/RaceRoninChain.sol:RaceRoninChain --private-key YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY --constructor-args TREASURY_ADDRESS --legacy

Replace YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY with your deployer private key and TREASURY_ADDRESS with the address to receive the house fees.

4. Interact with the contract: Use the provided Python scripts to enter races and compute & submit winners.

• enter_race.py: For generating predictions and entering races.
• compute_stats_and_submit_winner.py: For calculating and submitting race winners.

Ensure to provide necessary variables like private keys, addresses, and Chainstack

endpoints within the scripts.
