Tools to Install

This repository is under development and this section may become outdated. Please open a GitHub issue if you believe some tools are missing.

The following are the developer tools that you should install on your local machine in order to build and run the sources in this repository.

• Cargo - Installation Guide - Builds rust packages.
• Cargo-lambda - Installation Guide - Compile the package for AWS Lambda.
• pnpm - Installation guide - Manages node packages
• Make - Development task runner; natively present on nearly every system.
• Docker - Installation Guide. This is used for running integration tests.
• protoc - Installation Guide. Compiles protobuf files.

Developer shell through nix

If you have nix and flakes installed (e.g. through the DeterminateSystems installer), running the following command will enter a shell with all dependencies installed:

$ nix develop

Tool Versions

This command should check the version of the dependencies required for the sBTC resources to be built and tested.

echo "\n--- sBTC tool versions ---" \
    && cargo --version \
    && cargo lambda --version \
    && echo "pnpm $(pnpm --version)" \
    && make --version | head -n 1

Below is the output on a machine that is able to build and run all the sources and tests.

--- sBTC tool versions ---
cargo 1.77.2 (e52e36006 2024-03-26)
cargo-lambda 1.2.1 (12f9b61 2024-04-05Z)
pnpm 8.15.4
GNU Make 3.81

Building

To build the sources we recommend you use the Makefile commands; they'll build the dependencies in the right order.

• make install - Installs node dependencies
• make build - Builds packages
• make lint - Lints packages
• make clean - Cleans workspace
• make test - Run non-integration tests
• make integration-test - Run integration tests.
  • Before running integration tests you must run make integration-env-up
  • After running integration tests you must run make integration-env-down

For other commands read the Makefile at repository root.

Local devenv

A local development network is managed through a Docker Compose file in ./docker/docker-compose.yml. make commands for starting and stopping it are:

• make devenv-up: Start the network
• make devenv-down: Stop the network and remove containers and networks

Once running, the following services are available:

• Stacks node at localhost:20443
• Stacks API at localhost:3999
• Bitcoin node at devnet:devnet@localhost:18443
• 3 Nakamoto signers at localhost:30000, localhost:30001, and localhost:30002
• Stacks explorer at localhost:3020
• Mempool.space Bitcoin explorer at localhost:8083

Update local docker builds

To rebuild the containers from your current branch you can use:

# Build signers + emily (~2m, if `sbtc-build` was already built)
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml --profile default --profile bitcoin-mempool --profile sbtc-signer build
# Build bridge-website (~2m)
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml build --no-cache sbtc-bridge-website

Note: you may need to disable buildkit (prefixing the commands above with DOCKER_BUILDKIT=0) if you get pull access denied when building the containers on MacOS.

Play with devenv

To interact with the local devenv, ensure you have built latest version (see above) and run devenv with make devenv-up.

Then, wait for everything to be ready:

• Wait for Nakamoto: check the stacks explorer and wait for Nakamoto (usually around block #30). Explorer links:
  • Stacks: http://localhost:3020/?chain=testnet&api=http://localhost:3999
  • Bitcoin: http://localhost:8083/
• Wait for sBTC signers bootstrap: on stacks explorer, check the deployer account (SN3R84XZYA63QS28932XQF3G1J8R9PC3W76P9CSQS) for contract deployment and the first rotate key transaction.

Once you see the rotate key transaction, everything is ready! Now you can create a deposit request in two ways.

To programmatically fund the signers aggregate key and create a new deposit request, you can run:

./signers.sh demo

To use the bridge webapp, you can go to (http://localhost:3010). You will need to get signers info using ./signers.sh info, then ensure that on the settings tab you have the correct settings:

• bitcoin: http://bitcoin:18443/
• emily: http://emily-server:3031
• signers pubkey: the pubkey from the command above.

Now go to transfer and fund (eg, sending 1 btc) the signers aggregate key bitcoin address (from the command above). You can use the transfer tab to fund the wallet you want to use for the deposits as well.

Finally, go to the deposit tab and issue a new deposit.

Once you submitted a deposit request (either ways), you can follow it:

• First, on the bitcoin explorer, you can see the deposit tx, and a block later the sweep tx from the signers consuming its output
• Then, on the stacks explorer, you can see the complete-deposit contract call (to SN3R84XZYA63QS28932XQF3G1J8R9PC3W76P9CSQS), minting the net sBTC to the recipient account.

Git hooks

./devenv/hooks contains Git hooks you can install to run pre-commit checks. You can (optionally) run make install-git-hooks to install them. Be advised: under the hood, the hooks will run make lint, which relies on clippy and rust fmt and might need to download and compile dependencies.

Operating Systems

This project currently supports development on UNIX-based operating systems but does not support development on Windows or z/OS.
