anthill

intro

Disclaimer: Demo app.

Anthill is a liquid democracy inspired reputation system, people are organised into a binary tree, and everyone is assigned a reputation (number).

The position does not directly affect the reputation. You get reputation by collecting secondary value votes. You can give anyone value votes above you in the tree, within a certain proximity. Similarly, you can receive value votes form anyone under you, in a certain proximity.

To emphasise: value votes, and not position determines your reputation.

Also you can leave the tree, or move to unoccupied spots in the tree.

Finally: if you have higher reputation than your parent in the binary tree, you can change positions with them, thus climbing the tree.

This is the repo for the smart contracts.

development

To build and test use forge. For local development with backend and frontend deploy the smart contract on anvil with:

anvil --chain-id 1337

forge script script/Anthill.s.sol:SmallScript --broadcast --verify --rpc-url http://localhost:8545

After this the backend can be launched with:

npm run start:dev

And the frontend can be launched with:

npm start

If using metamask you have to clear metamask activity between different anvil sessions, as nonce and other things might change. Do this is setting-> advanced -> reset account

deployment

smart contract need to be deployed, and the address has to be set in the frontend, backend heroku builds backend based on github's main branch firebase frontend does not build on github yet, I should do that. But currently npm run build and npx firebase deploy deploys the frontend.

zksync specific development

Warning! Adding to AnthillInner address to foundry.toml will make normal forge tests break.

Anthill original:

• install forge
• start zksync dockerized local setup (check that this works). If only testing contracts local node is enough.
• remove compiled foler, AnthillInner address from foundry.toml
• to detect missing libraries ../../zksync/fzksync/foundry-zksync/target/release/forge build --zksync --contracts-to-compile src/AnthillInner.sol --avoid-contracts "script/Anthill.s.sol:AnthillScript1"
• To deploy missing libraries: ../../zksync/fzksync/foundry-zksync/target/release/forge create --zksync --deploy-missing-libraries --private-key 0x7726827caac94a7f9e1b160f7ea819f172f7b6f9d2a97f992c38edeab82d4110 --rpc-url http://localhost:3050 --chain 270 --verifier-url localhost:3010
• To compile everything: ../../zksync/fzksync/foundry-zksync/target/release/forge build --zksync
• To run tests: ../../zksync/fzksync/foundry-zksync/target/release/forge test --zksync --rpc-url http://localhost:3050 --chain 270
• To run scripts: ../../zksync/fzksync/foundry-zksync/target/release/forge script --zksync --slow script/Anthill.s.sol:SmallScript --broadcast --rpc-url http://localhost:3050 --chain 270

Anthill:

To compile everything the old Anthill has to be compiled, i.e. follow the steps above.

• To run scripts: ../../zksync/fzksync/foundry-zksync/target/release/forge script --zksync --slow script/Anthill.s.sol:SmallScript --broadcast --rpc-url http://localhost:3050 --chain 270

• Testnet deployment, if for first time: ../../zksync/fzksync/foundry-zksync/target/release/forge script --zksync --slow script/Anthill.s.sol:JustDeploy --broadcast --rpc-url https://sepolia.era.zksync.dev --chain 300 --private-key

• To debug a single tx that happened on testnet/mainnet:

  • start era-test node before the tx
  • save data: forge script --zksync --slow script/Anthill.s.sol:ReadAndSave --rpc-url localhost:8011

• Testnet migration to new contract:

Run replay test: - launch era-test node: era_test_node fork https://sepolia.era.zksync.dev --fork-at 3074373

- Testnet loadblock: 
`forge script --zksync --slow script/Anthill.s.sol:ReadAndSave --broadcast --rpc-url localhost:8011 --chain 300`

- save all logs: 
`echo '{ "logs" :' > script-out/logs.json && cast logs -j --rpc-url https://sepolia.era.zksync.dev --address 0xe42923350EF3a534f84bb101453D9B442d42Bf0c --from-block 3074373 >> script-out/logs.json && echo '}' >> script-out/logs.json && yarn encodeLogs`

- run replay test: 
`forge test --match-test  test_deployAndReexecute -vvvv --ffi`
