Arbitrum Chain: Harvest Strategy Development

This Hardhat environment is configured to use Mainnet fork by default and provides templates and utilities for strategy development and testing.

Installation

1. Run npm install to install all the dependencies.
2. Sign up on Alchemy. We recommend using Alchemy over Infura to allow for a reproducible Mainnet fork testing environment as well as efficiency due to caching.
3. Create a file dev-keys.json:

  {
    "alchemyKey": "<your-alchemy-key>"
  }

Run

All tests are located under the test folder.

1. Run npx hardhat test [test file location]: npx hardhat test ./test/balancer/wsteth-usdc.js (if for some reason the NodeJS heap runs out of memory, make sure to explicitly increase its size via export NODE_OPTIONS=--max_old_space_size=4096). This will produce the following output:

Develop

Under contracts/strategies, there are plenty of examples to choose from in the repository already, therefore, creating a strategy is no longer a complicated task. Copy-pasting existing strategies with minor modifications is acceptable.

Under contracts/base, there are existing base interfaces and contracts that can speed up development.

Contribute

When ready, open a pull request with the following information:

1. Instructions on how to run the test and at which block number

2. A mainnet fork test output (like the one above in the README) clearly showing the increases of share price

3. Info about the protocol, including:

   • Live farm page(s)
   • GitHub link(s)
   • Etherscan link(s)
   • Start/end dates for rewards
   • Any limitations (e.g., maximum pool size)
   • Current pool sizes used for liquidation (to make sure they are not too shallow)

   The first few items can be omitted for well-known protocols (such as curve.fi).

4. A description of potential value for Harvest: why should your strategy be live? High APYs, decent pool sizes, longevity of rewards, well-secured protocols, high-potential collaborations, etc.

A more extensive checklist for assessing protocols and farming opportunities can be found here

Deployment

If your pull request is merged and given a green light for deployment, the Harvest team will take care of on-chain deployment.
