Disclaimer: This is experimental work in progress. Do not use this in any production ICOs yet.

Moonfish API

Moonfish is an open source platform for doing Token Sales and Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs).

• ICO portal with marketing placeholders
• Whitelist signup and management
• Applicant communication
• Token sale controls (deadlines, limits)
• Token sale monitoring (projected funds raised, etc.)
• KYC workflow
• Legal templates for KYC compliance
• Security best practices: Not storing passwords, Magic Tokens, SSL, strong hashes, expiring JWT, etc.
• Full test coverage, quality code
• Deployable on any containerized environment

Security & Reliability Features

• No user passwords are solicited or stored.
• No private keys or ethereum wallets are managed by the system.
• Uses temporary "magic tokens" to authenticate. Tokens are generated with a 512 random byte seed and SHA512
• Admin passwords are stored using BCRYPT
• Email verification using Postmark (DKIM and SPF)
• Unique mnemonic phrase to combat phishing (Using Bitcore BIP39 standard)
• Full unit test coverage of business logic and APIs
• AirBnB ES lint standard enforced
• CI integration of unit tests and linting
• Auto check for misconfiguration (default keys) when running in production mode
• Client-server authentication is done using JSON Web Tokens. Different keys are used for admin accounts.
• Both JWT and and magic tokens expire within short time period (2h and 1h respectively)
• All solicited input fields are validated and that validation is unit tested
• Planned: Solicited information from users is stored in an encrypted way in DB
• Planned: Each user gets two secret words to authenticate official communication (anti-phishing)
• Planned: Strict CORS configuration to prevent cross-site contamination

Directory Structure

• package.json - Configure dependencies
• config/defaults.json - Default configuration, all values can be controlled via env vars
• src - All source code
• src/*/__tests__ - Unit tests
• src/run.js - Entrypoint for running and binding API
• src/lib - Library files like utils etc
• src/api - Express routes
• src/middlewares - Middleware libs
• src/models - Models for ORM (Mongoose)
• src/index.js - Entrypoint into API (does not bind, so can be used in unit tests)

API Routes

All routes are name spaced with a v1 version:

GET     /1/info                        # Get tokensale details and status
POST    /1/info/configuration          # Admin: Configure tokensale
POST    /1/applicants                  # Applicants: Apply to participate
POST    /1/applicants/sessions         # Applicants: Exchange `magicToken` for temp JWT token
POST    /1/applicants/register         # Applicants: Complete registration (finishes KYC)
POST    /1/applicants/participate      # Applicants: Store account info
POST    /1/users/sessions              # Admin: Create session / jwt (login)
GET     /1/users/self                  # Admin: Get my user info
DELETE  /1/users/self                  # Admin: Delete my account
POST    /1/users/self                  # Admin: Update my account
GET     /1/users/:user_id              # Admin: Admin: Get user
DELETE  /1/users/:user_id              # Admin: Admin: Delete user
POST    /1/users/:user_id              # Admin: Admin: Update user

Install Dependencies

yarn install

Testing & Linting

yarn test
yarn lint

Running in Development

Code reload using nodemon:

yarn dev

Configuration

All values in config/defaults.json can be overwritten using environment variables. For example bind.host becomes can be overwritten using the API_BIND_HOST environment variable.

• API_BIND_HOST - Host to bind to, defaults to "0.0.0.0"
• API_BIND_PORT - Port to bind to, defaults to 3005
• API_MONGO_URI - MongoDB URI to connect to, defaults to mongodb://localhost/skeleton_dev
• API_ADMIN_EMAIL - Default root admin user admin@moonfish.one
• API_ADMIN_PASSWORD - Default root admin password [change me]
• API_JWT_SECRET - Secret key for generating JWT tokens [change me]
• API_JWT_ADMINSECRET - Secret key for generating admin JWT tokens [change me]
• API_APP_NAME - Application name Moonfish
• API_APP_DOMAIN - Domain of token sale web interface localhost
• API_POSTMARK_APIKEY - Postmark API key - used for email communication
• API_POSTMARK_FROM - From address used for mail communication
