Add settlement chain smart contract overview documentation to explain system architecture and contract interactions

Creates a new README file at src/settlement-chain/README.md that documents the settlement chain smart contracts system. The documentation covers:

  • System architecture overview explaining decentralized node network management, usage tracking, fee calculation, and revenue distribution
  • Detailed descriptions of eight core contracts including SettlementChainParameterRegistry, FeeToken, NodeRegistry, PayerRegistry, PayerReportManager, DistributionManager, RateRegistry, and SettlementChainGateway
  • Contract purposes and inter-contract interactions within the settlement chain ecosystem

📍Where to Start

Start with the new documentation file at src/settlement-chain/README.md to understand the system architecture overview before reviewing the individual contract descriptions.


Macroscope summarized fbd2012.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Added a comprehensive README to the settlement chain directory, detailing system architecture, contract roles, operational flows, and cross-chain interactions for the smart contract suite.

Walkthrough

A new README file has been introduced in the src/settlement-chain directory. This documentation describes the architecture, contract roles, data flows, and operational logic of the settlement chain smart contracts, including details about parameter management, fee settlement, node registration, and cross-chain bridging. Additionally, a deprecated documentation file for the XMTP Contracts Image was deleted. Minor formatting changes were made to JSON config files and Prettier scripts were updated to expand file coverage.

Poem

In the warren, docs now gleam,
A README hops onto the scene.
Contracts described, flows unwind,
Nodes and fees all well-defined.
With every hop, clarity grows—
The chain’s story, now everyone knows!

🧹 Nitpick comments (9)
src/settlement-chain/README.md (9)

1-3: Consider adding a quick-glance index / diagram at the top

A one-line table-of-contents or an SVG sequence diagram would make it much faster for new readers to orient themselves before diving into the contract-by-contract sections.


11-18: Flow misses the “parameter update / governance” step

All contract interactions ultimately depend on up-to-date values in SettlementChainParameterRegistry, yet the happy-path list jumps straight into node registration.
Adding an explicit “0. Governance updates parameters” (or similar) clarifies where configuration originates and who is authorised to change it.


22-29: Clarify upgrade & access-control model for ParameterRegistry

Readers unfamiliar with the repo won’t know how governance or the migrator key is able to change parameters (UUPS proxy? Ownable? AccessControl?).
A short sentence describing the upgrade pattern and required roles would remove any ambiguity.


30-39: Mention FeeToken decimals & custody model

The doc calls FeeToken “wrapped stablecoin” but omits whether it preserves the underlying token’s decimals and who custodies the backing asset.
Including those two bullets prevents confusion for integrators doing on-chain accounting.


40-48: Explain how a node becomes “canonical”

The distinction is important for signature quorum checks, yet the promotion / demotion mechanism isn’t referenced here.
Pointing to the on-chain function or governance action that toggles isCanonical would make this section self-contained.


60-69: Spell out the super-majority threshold & anti-replay guarantee

Stating the exact fraction or percentage of canonical nodes required for a report to be valid, and whether report IDs are monotonic to prevent replay, will tighten this explanation.


70-79: Briefly describe the distribution formula

Readers will wonder whether fees are split pro-rata by message count, stake, equal shares, etc. One sentence here eliminates that guesswork.


81-89: Who can write to RateRegistry?

The section notes dynamic pricing but not the authority allowed to push new rates. Clarify if it is open, governed, or oracle-driven.


90-99: Minor wording repetition (“This …”) – lighten phrasing

Three consecutive sentences begin with “This”, triggering the language-tool hint. Suggested tweak:

- This contract serves as a bridge from the settlement chain (acting as an L2) to other connected blockchains...
- This is the interface for the corresponding gateway contract on the destination `appchain`.
- This is an interface for the Arbitrum-specific bridging contract that facilitates messaging and asset transfers...
+ The contract serves as a bridge from the settlement chain (acting as an L2) to connected blockchains...
+ It interacts with an `IAppChainGatewayLike` interface deployed on the destination `appchain`.
+ It also relies on the Arbitrum-specific `IERC20InboxLike` interface to pass messages and assets from L2 to L3.

49-58: Add withdrawal time-lock details

Since payer withdrawals are subject to a delay, documenting the exact parameter key (e.g. WITHDRAWAL_DELAY_SECONDS) and its rationale helps auditors and users understand the security trade-off.

Not sure if this is helpful at all, @deluca-mike - but I had gemini review the Solidity files in the settlement chain directory so I could understand the flow from payer to node operator and this is what it gave me. Thought it might provide a decent baseline? No pressure to use it!

src/settlement-chain/README.md (5)

14-15: Specify the exact “super-majority” threshold

“Supermajority” can mean ⅔, ¾, or another quorum. Stating the concrete fraction or percentage (e.g., “≥ ⅔ of canonical nodes”) removes ambiguity for auditors and implementers.


24-29: Call out the no-redundant-checks access-control pattern

The Parameter Registry description is accurate, but adding a short note that downstream contracts intentionally omit duplicate access-control modifiers because the registry is the single guarded source of truth (per the project’s defensive-programming pattern) would pre-empt reader confusion.


42-48: Clarify NFT standard and canonical-node flag

Mention that the ERC-721 implementation is enumerable (or not) and how the “canonical” flag is mutated (governance call vs. migrator). This helps readers understand how node sets evolve and how signature lists stay in sync.


72-79: Describe the distribution formula

The section states that fees are distributed but omits the algorithm (e.g., pro-rata by share of usage vs. equal split). A one-sentence summary of the formula or a reference to the relevant function (claim() or similar) would make this subsection self-contained.


92-98: Rephrase to avoid repetitive sentence starts

Three consecutive sentences begin with “This”. A minor wording tweak improves readability:

-This contract serves as a bridge from the settlement chain (acting as an L2) to other connected `blockchains`, which must be Arbitrum L3s (also known as "Orbit chains"). This is a specific requirement because the gateway is tightly coupled with Arbitrum's architecture, using an `IERC20InboxLike` interface to communicate. This interface is the standard for bridging from an Arbitrum L2 to its L3s.

Add settlement chain smart contract overview documentation and update formatting configuration to use 2-space indentation

This pull request adds comprehensive documentation for settlement chain smart contracts and standardizes formatting configuration across the project:

  • Adds new documentation file src/settlement-chain/README.md that provides system architecture overview and detailed descriptions of nine settlement chain contracts including SettlementChainParameterRegistry, FeeToken, NodeRegistry, PayerRegistry, PayerReportManager, DistributionManager, RateRegistry, SettlementChainGateway, and DepositSplitter
  • Updates .prettierrc to change markdown file tab width from 4 to 2 spaces
  • Reformats configuration files config/mainnet.json and config/testnet-dev.json with 2-space indentation
  • Extends prettier script scope in package.json to include config and environments directories
  • Removes doc/xmtp-contracts-image.md documentation file

📍Where to Start

Start with the new documentation file src/settlement-chain/README.md to understand the settlement chain smart contract system architecture and individual contract descriptions.

Changes since #116 opened

  • Corrected documentation text in settlement chain smart contract README [2d55c47]

Macroscope summarized 2d55c47.

11-13: Typo in parameter-registry bullet
"which my be a single admin""which may be a single admin".
Fix keeps the prose professional.

-    - The parameters are controlled by an account, which my be a single admin, a multi-sig, or eventually a DAO.
+    - The parameters are controlled by an account, which may be a single admin, a multi-sig, or eventually a DAO.

11-30: Markdown-lint: sub-list indentation is two spaces short
All second-level bullets are indented with 4 spaces, but MD007 expects 2.
Fixing this avoids noisy CI/style failures and renders the sub-lists consistently across GitHub and other viewers.

Example patch (apply to the whole block):

-    - the `PayerRegistry` to fund their usage of the network, and
-    - the `SettlementChainGateway` to fund their gas costs on an `app chain`.
-    - Alternatively, payers can use the `DepositSplitter` ...

35-38: Minor wording improvement
Passive phrase “managed in a predictable way” can be tightened to the adverb “predictably”.

-This allows for governance and upgrades to be managed in a predictable way.
+This allows governance and upgrades to be managed predictably.

104-112: Repetition of “This interface … This interface …”
Three successive sentences start with the same words; rephrasing improves readability.

-This contract serves as a bridge from the settlement chain (acting as an L2) to other connected `blockchains`, which must be Arbitrum L3s (also known as "Orbit chains"). This is a specific requirement because the gateway is tightly coupled with Arbitrum's architecture, using an `IERC20InboxLike` interface to communicate. This interface is the standard for bridging from an Arbitrum L2 to its L3s.

This follows a deliberate architectural pattern where parameter values are secured in a central parameter registry, and contracts can freely pull and sync with these values without additional authorization checks. The security is managed at the parameter registry level rather than in each consuming contract.

Learning: In cross-chain deployments for this smart contracts repository, factories and gateways are deployed with deterministic addresses that are the same on both settlement and app chains. When computing expected proxy addresses in tests, it's correct to use the settlement chain factory even when the proxy will be deployed on the app chain, because the factories have the same addresses and using the same deployer and salt will produce the same proxy address on both chains.

INodeRegistry extends IMigratable, which extends IERC1967, and IERC1967 exposes the implementation() function. This architecture allows calling INodeRegistry(proxy_).implementation() without compile-time issues, even though the proxy itself doesn't explicitly inherit these interfaces.

60-60: Minor wording tweak

“for the time being” can be trimmed for conciseness:

The FeeToken has 6 decimals, matching the underlying stablecoin’s 6 decimals.

Not critical, purely stylistic.


70-71: Typo: “form” → “from”

“…can add or remove a node from the canonical set.”

Learning: In the XMTP smart contracts Administration script, functions like updateGroupMessageBroadcasterStartingParameters() and updateIdentityUpdateBroadcasterStartingParameters() already include chain ID validation at the function level, so parent functions that only call these functions don't need additional chain ID validation as it would be redundant.

Learning: In the xmtp/smart-contracts codebase, functions like `updateRates()` in RateRegistry intentionally lack access control modifiers. This follows a deliberate architectural pattern where parameter values are secured in a central parameter registry, and contracts can freely pull and sync with these values without additional authorization checks. The security is managed at the parameter registry level rather than in each consuming contract.

Learning: In cross-chain deployments for this smart contracts repository, factories and gateways are deployed with deterministic addresses that are the same on both settlement and app chains. When computing expected proxy addresses in tests, it's correct to use the settlement chain factory even when the proxy will be deployed on the app chain, because the factories have the same addresses and using the same deployer and salt will produce the same proxy address on both chains.

2-7: Confirm placeholder zero-addresses before deploying

Several implementation/proxy fields are set to 0x000…0000. If this file is ever consumed by deployment or monitoring scripts, those zero-addresses will either revert transactions or silently mask missing components.
Please double-check that these are intentional placeholders and are not accidentally promoted to production configs.


44-69: maxCanonicalNodes is 0 – verify downstream assumptions

NodeRegistry.maxCanonicalNodes is configured to the string "0". Many on-chain/integration tests assume at least one canonical node exists; a zero limit could block node promotion or make fee-report signature checks fail. Make sure runtime code gracefully handles an empty canonical set, or bump this value to a sane default (e.g. “100”).
