GitHub - ltfschoen/XCMTemplate: Building Cross-chain (XCM) DApps with Docker

Smart Contracts using XCM

Setup

Setup Docker Container

Note:
- The docker/Dockerfile and its dependencies in docker/utility are modified copies of files in https://github.com/paritytech/scripts/blob/master/dockerfiles to have the flexibility to develop locally using ink! in a Docker container that uses Linux without any dependency issues, and where changes replicated on the host machine.
- This is useful if you're on an old macOS Catalina and Apple won't allow you to do further software updates, so you cannot install brew install protobuf to install necessary dependencies.
Install and run Docker
Generate .env file from sample file with cp .env.example .env
- Generate a Substrate-based account on an air-gapped machine using Subkey or by installing Subkey in Docker on an air-gapped machine
- Add the mnemonic phrase of the Substrate-based account to the value of LS_CONTRACTS in the .env file.
- Obtain testnet tokens from faucet at https://use.ink/faucet/
- Obtain testnet Shibuya from faucet at https://portal.astar.network/shibuya-testnet/assets
Check versions used in Dockerfile:
- Rust nightly version
- Node.js version
- Cargo Contract
- Substrate Contracts Node
Configure amount of CPUs and memory of the host machine the Docker container should use in ./docker/docker.sh. Use docker update to change the configuration https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/commandline/container_update/
Run Docker container and follow the terminal log instructions.
- Note: Optionally exclude installing substrate-contracts-node by running time ./docker/docker.sh "without_contracts_node" since including it will increase build time substantially and may not be necessary if you are deploying to remote testnets.
- Important Note: If you are on a Mac OS with Rosetta (e.g. M1, M2, M3) then run with: time ./docker/docker.sh "" "linux/amd64" (where 2nd argument is "linux/amm64" x86_64 and 1st argument could be "use_contracts_node" or "without_contracts_node") (otherwise on macOS it may use "linux/arm64" by default). Check what you are using by running uname -a on your host machine.
  - Note: If you are using it this way on Rosetta (Apple Silicon) it will work but it will run much slower than directly on your host without Docker or with Docker container on an x86 machine, if that is possible to you.
```
 touch .env && cp .env.example .env
 time ./docker/docker.sh "use_contracts_node"
```
Check Memory & CPU usage. Update memory limits in docker-compose.yml
```
 docker stats
```
Enter Docker container
```
 docker exec -it ink /bin/bash
```
Optional Attach to Container in Visual Studio Code (VSCode)
- Open folder /app with cd /app
Check versions. Note:

rustup toolchain list
rustup update
rustup show
cargo-contract --version

Check if substrate-contracts-node was installed if you used the "with-node" argument

substrate-contracts-node --version

Optionally update dependencies in ./dapps/ink-rust/wasm-flipper/package.json https://stackoverflow.com/a/70588930/3208553
```
 cd ./dapps/ink-rust/wasm-flipper/
 yarn upgrade
```
Optionally update dependencies in ./dapps/ink-rust/wasm-flipper/contract/flipper/Cargo.toml
```
 cd ./dapps/ink-rust/wasm-flipper/contract/flipper/
 cargo update
```

Run Cargo Contracts Node in Docker Container

Important This is only available if you did not run ./docker/run.sh using "without_contracts_node" argument

Run Node

Run Cargo Contract Node
- Note: Use either --tmp or --base-path "/tmp/ink"
- Note: Delete chain database rm -rf /tmp/ink.
- Note: Check disk space used by database du /tmp/ink
Note: Refer to debugging docs https://use.ink/basics/contract-debugging

./docker/run-scn.sh

Leave that terminal tab running the node. Enter the terminal again in a new tab with docker exec -it ink /bin/bash
Attach to the running terminal with VSCode if necessary. See here
Restart the node and delete the chain database by running ./docker/reset.sh inside the Docker container or docker exec -it ink /app/docker/reset.sh from outside the Docker container and waiting 15 seconds

Interact with Node

Verify that you are able to connect from websites like:
- https://contracts-ui.substrate.io/?rpc=ws://127.0.0.1:9944, and;
- https://polkadot.js.org/apps/?rpc=ws://127.0.0.1:9944
Note: It is necessary to use --unsafe-rpc-external and --unsafe-ws-external instead of just --rpc-external and --ws-external, otherwise you will get an error API-WS: disconnected from ws://127.0.0.1:9944: 1006:: Abnormal Closure if you try to connect to the local node at https://contracts-ui.substrate.io/?rpc=ws://127.0.0.1:9944
Note: It is also necessary if using the Brave browser to disable Advertisement blocker shields to avoid that error as mentioned in my response here https://substrate.stackexchange.com/a/8648/83

Demo Quickstart Build & Upload ink! Rust Flipper Smart Contract to Local Testnet (using Cargo Contract)

First run a Cargo Contracts Node, by following the steps in the section "Run Cargo Contracts Node in Docker Container"

Option 1: Run from host machine

SCN_PORT=$(docker exec -it ink lsof -ti:30333) && \
docker exec -it ink echo $(kill -9 $SCN_PORT) && \
docker exec -it ink /app/docker/reset.sh && \
docker exec -it ink /app/docker/quickstart.sh

Option 2: Run from shell inside Docker container

* Enter shell of Docker container
	```bash
	docker exec -it ink /bin/bash
	```
* Run quickstart
	```bash
	./docker/reset.sh
	./docker/quickstart.sh
	```

Note: This may be run repeatedly since it automatically:
- Kills any existing substrate-contracts-node on port 30333
- Empties the chain database with rm -rf /tmp/ink so we can redeploy the Flipper contract to the same address
- Run substrate-contracts-node again
- Redeploys the Flipper contract
- Interacts with the Flipper contract

Demo Quickstart Build & Upload ink! Rust "Basic Contract Caller" Smart Contract to Local Testnet (using Cargo Contract)

First run a Cargo Contracts Node, by following the steps in the section "Run Cargo Contracts Node in Docker Container"

Run from shell inside Docker container

* Enter shell of Docker container
	```bash
	docker exec -it ink /bin/bash
	```
* Run in terminal tab 1
	```bash
	./docker/reset.sh
	```
* Run in terminal tab 2
	```
	./docker/quickstart-basic-contract-caller.sh
	```

Demo Quickstart Build & Upload ink! Rust "IPSP22" Smart Contract to Local Testnet (using Cargo Contract)

First run a Cargo Contracts Node, by following the steps in the section "Run Cargo Contracts Node in Docker Container"

Run from shell inside Docker container

* Enter shell of Docker container
	```bash
	docker exec -it ink /bin/bash
	```
* Run in terminal tab 1
	```bash
	./docker/reset.sh
	```
* Run in terminal tab 2
	```bash
	cd /app
	./docker/quickstart-ipsp22.sh
	```

Demo Quickstart Build & Upload ink! Rust "Unnamed" Smart Contract to Local Testnet (using Cargo Contract)

Run from shell inside Docker container

* First run a Cargo Contracts Node, by following the steps in the section "Run Cargo Contracts Node in Docker Container"

* Enter shell of Docker container
	```bash
	docker exec -it ink /bin/bash
	```
* Run in terminal tab 1
	```bash
	./docker/reset.sh
	```
* Run in terminal tab 2
	````
	./docker/quickstart-unnamed.sh
	```

Build & Upload Moonbeam VRF Randomness Precompile Solidity Smart Contract to Moonbase Alpha Testnet (using Truffle)

Follow the instructions in the VRF example README and install necessary dependencies then run the following from this directory

./docker/quickstart-moonbeam-vrf-precompile.sh

Build & Upload Chainlink VRFD20 Randomness Solidity Smart Contract to Ethereum Sepolia Testnet (using Truffle)

Follow the instructions in the VRF20 example README

Build & Upload ink! Rust Flipper Smart Contract to Local Testnet (using Cargo Contract)

First run a Cargo Contracts Node, by following the steps in the section "Run Cargo Contracts Node in Docker Container"
Create Rust project with template. Note that the flipper folder may already exist

cd dapps/ink-rust/wasm-flipper/contract
cargo contract new flipper
cd flipper

Optionally build with VSCode by adding the project "dapps/ink-rust/wasm-flipper/contract/flipper" to the list of members in the Cargo.toml file in the project root, and running "Terminal > Run Task > Build Contract" to build all the contract using the configuration in ./.vscode/launch.json
Generate .contract, .wasm, and metadata.json code. Note: Use --release to deploy in "release" mode (without debug logs) instead of "debug" mode
- Note: If you get error ERROR: Cannot read /app/target/ink/flipper/.target then run rm -rf /app/target
```
 cargo contract build --manifest-path /app/dapps/ink-rust/wasm-flipper/contract/flipper/Cargo.toml
```
Copy ./target/ink/flipper/flipper.json
- Paste this as the ABI value of const abi = ./dapps/ink-rust/wasm-flipper/ui/components/abi.ts
- Note: Refer to ./docker/quickstart.sh that shows how to do this programmatically
Upload Contract (note: prefer to use contracts-ui to avoid exposing private key)

cargo contract upload --suri //Alice

Actual output:

Terminal #1

 Result Success!
 Code hash "0xec3a66a8f99674ecf25d180fc39ee8e620d45e8de459277e353ece20753d6c53"

Upload and Execute it. Optionally --skip-dry-run

cargo contract upload --suri //Alice \
	--execute \
	--skip-confirm

Copy the "Code hash" that is output since you can query the contract by pasting it at https://contracts-ui.substrate.io/hash-lookup?rpc=ws://127.0.0.1:9944 and pasting its ABI as the Metadata using the contents of ./target/ink/flipper/flipper.json
Note: The output format should be:
```
 CodeStored event
 code_hash: 0x......
```
- Note: only one copy of the code is stored, but there can be many instance of one code blob, differs from other EVM chains where each node has a copy

Actual output:

UNSUPPORTED Build & Upload ink! Rust Flipper Smart Contract to Local Testnet (using Swanky CLI)

WARNING: Swanky CLI is not supported by this repository using Docker until this issue is resolved inkdevhub/swanky-cli#222 (comment) WARNING: Swanky CLI only supports older versions of ink!, cargo-contract, and rustc, so you might need to downgrade to the following versions to get it to work, as mentioned here inkdevhub/swanky-cli#222 (comment)

ink v4.2.1 or v5 to ink 4.0.0
cargo-contract v4.1.0 to v2.1.0
rustc 1.77.2 (25ef9e3d8 2024-04-09) to rustc to 1.69 (2023-03-21)

The versions that are used in the Docker container are specified in ./docker/Dockerfile.

Enter the Docker container shell in a new terminal window if necessary:
```
 docker exec -it ink /bin/bash
```

Create New Flipper template

Add Flipper smart contract template (only if that folder does not exist yet) to generate https://github.com/AstarNetwork/wasm-flipper.

swanky init flipper

Note: Choose ink as a contract language and flipper as template and a chosen contract name. Optionally choose from Y/N when asking to download the Swanky Node (NOT required if already using Substrate Contracts Node).

If you chose to download the Swanky Node then run it in your local environment:

cd ./flipper
yarn
yarn run run-node

Note: The command yarn run run-node runs swanky node start

Use Existing wasm-flipper Example

Warning: It is old and outdated and may not work

Init

cd ./wasm-flipper
cd contract

Start the local node

If you chose to download the Swanky Node then run it in your local environment:

cd flipper
swanky node start

Compile Contract

Build the contract

Build the contract in a new tab

swanky contract compile flipper

Note: Try rustup update if you face error

Deploy the contract

Local Testnet

swanky contract deploy flipper --account alice -g 1000000000000 -a true

Shibuya Testnet

swanky contract deploy flipper --account alice --gas 1000000000000 --args true --network shibuya

Copy paste the contract address.

Update WS_PROVIDER to check if it connects to Shibuya or localhost in ./dapps/ink-rust/wasm-flipper/ui/components/app.tsx
View in block explorer if deploy on Astar https://astar.subscan.io/wasm_contract_dashboard?tab=contract Note: If you deployed on Shibuya then go to https://shibuya.subscan.io/

Interact with ink! Python Smart Contract

Run the steps in the Setup section (if you want to connect to a local node)
Enter the Docker container with docker exec -it ink /bin/bash
Run the following inside the Docker container

cd ./dapps/ink-python/example
pip3 install --no-cache-dir -r requirements.txt
python3 ./src/app.py

Note: If you get error DuplicateContract', 'docs': ['A contract with the same AccountId already exists then restart the substrate-contracts-node and reset the database by simply running the following on the host machine from outside the Docker container and waiting for approx. 15 seconds before running your commands again. Or run /app/docker/reset.sh from within the Docker container.
```
 docker exec -it ink /app/docker/reset.sh
```
Note: If you get error ValueError: Invalid mnemonic: invalid word in phrase then you needed to set account mnemonic phrase as the value of LS_CONTRACT in the .env file and obtain testnet tokens for it from faucet at https://use.ink/faucet/

Obtain Shibuya from faucet at https://portal.astar.network/shibuya-testnet/assets

Interact with ink! Rust Flipper Smart Contract using Polkadot.js API

Enter the Docker container shell in a new terminal window if necessary:
```
 docker exec -it ink /bin/bash
```

Cargo Contracts

Instantiate Contract

cargo contract instantiate \
	--suri //Bob \
	--constructor new \
	--args true \
	--execute \
	--skip-confirm

Wait for response

...
Event System => NewAccount
	account: 5G...
...
Event Contracts + Instantiated
	deployer: 5F...
	contract: 5G.... (new contract account address to interact with contract)
...

Store the response in an environment variable for reuse. Replace the example value below of 5G.... with the actual contract account address provided in the event response above.

CONTRACT_ADDR=5G....
echo "stored in variable CONTRACT_ADDR the contract address value ${CONTRACT_ADDR"

Interact to flip the boolean value, not a dry run so no response but we get a gas limit response

cargo contract call \
	--suri //Charlie \
	--contract $CONTRACT_ADDR \
	--message flip \
	--execute \
	--skip-confirm

Check it flipped the boolean value (dry run only)

cargo contract call \
	--suri //Charlie \
	--contract $CONTRACT_ADDR \
	--message get \
	--execute \
	--skip-confirm

Check the outputs:
- Emitted events in the terminal where you run cargo contract ... comments
- Debug logs in the substrate-contracts-node terminal
- Optionally go to https://contracts-ui.substrate.io/hash-lookup?rpc=ws://127.0.0.1:9944 and paste the "Code hash" from when you initially uploaded the contract, and pasting its ABI as the Metadata using the contents of ./target/ink/flipper/flipper.json
Note: If you don't build in "debug" mode with cargo contract build ... instead of cargo contract build --release ... and you run it using dry run by running extra options like the following, or if you execute as a transaction, then you won't be able to see node terminal debug logs like tokio-runtime-worker runtime::contracts Execution finished with debug buffer... from your use of ink::env::debug_println! in the smart contract

	--skip-dry-run \
	--gas 1000000000000 \
	--proof-size 1000000000000

Notes

Strategy:
- Why use smart contract instead of blockchain?
  - Faster iterations of design, development, testing, and release of applications to market
  - Provide core functionality for the base layer of a general purpose blockchain that is being built
  - Allow smart contracts to interact with an application-specific blockchain pallet logic and use them to expose some logic to users since smart contracts treat all user input as untrusted and potentially adversarial
  - Example:
    - Building an application where most logic in Substrate pallets
      - Allow users to upload their own trading algorithms using smart contracts
      - Smart contracts require gas fees to execute so users would pay for the execution time of those trading algorithms
      - Expose relevant primitives similar to the Chain extension primitive of the Contracts pallet
- What types of smart contracts may be deployed on Substrate runtime?
  - WebAssembly
  - EVM-compatible
- What is a smart contract?
  - Instructions that are instantiated and executed on a host platform using a specific smart contract chain account address
  - Instructions written in a language
- What Substrate pallet is best to use when building a runtime to host smart contracts that are being built?
  - Contracts pallet allows deployment and execution of WebAssembly-based smart contracts
- What trait do smart contract accounts used in the Contracts pallet of Substrate extend?
  - Currency trait
- How to resolve ERROR: This contract has already been uploaded with code hash
  - It may be because you ran a Substrate contract node on your host machine and then tried running another one in your Docker container. So it may be necessary to run kill -9 $(lsof -ti:30333) on both the host machine and inside the Docker container. Or just restart Docker.
