## Elastos.ELA.SideChain.ESC

Elastos Sidechain implementation based on Go Ethereum.


## Building the source

For prerequisites and detailed build instructions please read the
[Installation Instructions](https://github.com/elastos/Elastos.ELA.SideChain.ESC/wiki/Building-Ethereum)
on the wiki.

Building `geth` requires both a Go (version 1.16.5 or later) and a C compiler. You can install
them using your favourite package manager. Once the dependencies are installed, run

```shell
export GO111MODULE=off
make geth
```

or, to build the full suite of utilities:

```shell
export GO111MODULE=off
make all
```

## Executables

The Elastos.ELA.SideChain.ESC project comes with several wrappers/executables found in the `cmd`
directory.

| Command    | Description |
|:----------:|-------------|
| **`geth`** | Our main ELA-Ethereum CLI client. It is the entry point into the ELA-Ethereum  network (main-, test- or private net), capable of running as a full node (default), archive node (retaining all historical state) or a light node (retrieving data live). It can be used by other processes as a gateway into the Ethereum network via JSON RPC endpoints exposed on top of HTTP, WebSocket and/or IPC transports. `geth --help` and the [CLI Wiki page](https://github.com/elastos/Elastos.ELA.SideChain.ESC/wiki/Command-Line-Options) for command line options. |
| `abigen` | Source code generator to convert Ethereum contract definitions into easy to use, compile-time type-safe Go packages. It operates on plain [Ethereum contract ABIs](https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Ethereum-Contract-ABI) with expanded functionality if the contract bytecode is also available. However it also accepts Solidity source files, making development much more streamlined. Please see our [Native DApps](https://github.com/elastos/Elastos.ELA.SideChain.ESC/wiki/Native-DApps:-Go-bindings-to-Ethereum-contracts) wiki page for details. |
| `bootnode` | Stripped down version of our Ethereum client implementation that only takes part in the network node discovery protocol, but does not run any of the higher level application protocols. It can be used as a lightweight bootstrap node to aid in finding peers in private networks. |
| `evm` | Developer utility version of the EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) that is capable of running bytecode snippets within a configurable environment and execution mode. Its purpose is to allow isolated, fine-grained debugging of EVM opcodes (e.g. `evm --code 60ff60ff --debug`). |
| `gethrpctest` | Developer utility tool to support our [ethereum/rpc-test](https://github.com/ethereum/rpc-tests) test suite which validates baseline conformity to the [Ethereum JSON RPC](https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/JSON-RPC) specs. Please see the [test suite's readme](https://github.com/ethereum/rpc-tests/blob/master/README.md) for details. |
| `rlpdump` | Developer utility tool to convert binary RLP ([Recursive Length Prefix](https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/RLP)) dumps (data encoding used by the Ethereum protocol both network as well as consensus wise) to user friendlier hierarchical representation (e.g. `rlpdump --hex CE0183FFFFFFC4C304050583616263`). |
| `puppeth`    | a CLI wizard that aids in creating a new Ethereum network. |

## Running `geth`

Going through all the possible command line flags is out of scope here (please consult our
[CLI Wiki page](https://github.com/elastos/Elastos.ELA.SideChain.ESC/wiki/Command-Line-Options)),
but we've enumerated a few common parameter combos to get you up to speed quickly
on how you can run your own `geth` instance.

### Full node on the main Ethereum network

By far the most common scenario is people wanting to simply interact with the Ethereum
network: create accounts; transfer funds; deploy and interact with contracts. For this
particular use-case the user doesn't care about years-old historical data, so we can
fast-sync quickly to the current state of the network. To do so:

```shell
$ geth console
```

This command will:
 * Start `geth` in fast sync mode (default, can be changed with the `--syncmode` flag),
   causing it to download more data in exchange for avoiding processing the entire history
   of the Ethereum network, which is very CPU intensive.
 * Start up `geth`'s built-in interactive [JavaScript console](https://github.com/elastos/Elastos.ELA.SideChain.ESC/wiki/JavaScript-Console),
   (via the trailing `console` subcommand) through which you can invoke all official [`web3` methods](https://github.com/elastos/wiki/wiki/JavaScript-API)
   as well as `geth`'s own [management APIs](https://github.com/elastos/Elastos.ELA.SideChain.ESC/wiki/Management-APIs).
   This tool is optional and if you leave it out you can always attach to an already running
   `geth` instance with `geth attach`.

### A Full node on the Ethereum test network

Transitioning towards developers, if you'd like to play around with creating Ethereum
contracts, you almost certainly would like to do that without any real money involved until
you get the hang of the entire system. In other words, instead of attaching to the main
network, you want to join the **test** network with your node, which is fully equivalent to
the main network, but with play-Ether only.

```shell
$ geth --testnet console
```

The `console` subcommand has the exact same meaning as above and they are equally
useful on the testnet too. Please see above for their explanations if you've skipped here.

Specifying the `--testnet` flag, however, will reconfigure your `geth` instance a bit:

 * Instead of using the default data directory (`~/.ela_ethereum` on Linux for example), `geth`
   will nest itself one level deeper into a `testnet` subfolder (`~/.ela_ethereum/testnet` on
   Linux). Note, on OSX and Linux this also means that attaching to a running testnet node
   requires the use of a custom endpoint since `geth attach` will try to attach to a
   production node endpoint by default. E.g.
   `geth attach <datadir>/testnet/geth.ipc`. Windows users are not affected by
   this.
 * Instead of connecting the main Ethereum network, the client will connect to the test
   network, which uses different P2P bootnodes, different network IDs and genesis states.

*Note: Although there are some internal protective measures to prevent transactions from
crossing over between the main network and test network, you should make sure to always
use separate accounts for play-money and real-money. Unless you manually move
accounts, `geth` will by default correctly separate the two networks and will not make any
accounts available between them.*

### Full node on the Rinkeby test network

The above test network is a cross-client one based on the ethash proof-of-work consensus
algorithm. As such, it has certain extra overhead and is more susceptible to reorganization
attacks due to the network's low difficulty/security. Go Ethereum also supports connecting
to a proof-of-authority based test network called [*Rinkeby*](https://www.rinkeby.io)
(operated by members of the community). This network is lighter, more secure, but is only
supported by Elastos.ELA.SideChain.ESC.

```shell
$ geth --rinkeby console
```

### How to topup ELA to ETH
* use compile [ELA-Client](https://github.com/elastos/Elastos.ELA.Client)
* create topup transaction: `./ela-cli wallet -t create --deposit eth_address(ETH address) --amount recharge_value(amount ela units) --fee recharge_fee(fee ela units)`
* sign transaction: `./ela-cli wallet -t sign --file to_be_signed.txn -p yourpassword(your keystore password)`
* send transaction: `./ela-cli wallet -t send --file ready_to_send.txn`

### How to withdraw ETH to ELA
* use node console: `node`
* use contract code:

```
Web3 = require("web3");
// set web3 uri
web3 = new Web3("http://127.0.0.1:20636");
// set withdraw contract
contract = new web3.eth.Contract([{"constant":false,"inputs":[{"name":"_addr","type":"string"},{"name":"_amount","type":"uint256"},{"name":"_fee","type":"uint256"}],"name":"receivePayload","outputs":[],"payable":true,"stateMutability":"payable","type":"function"},{"payable":true,"stateMutability":"payable","type":"fallback"},{"anonymous":false,"inputs":[{"indexed":false,"name":"_addr","type":"string"},{"indexed":false,"name":"_amount","type":"uint256"},{"indexed":false,"name":"_crosschainamount","type":"uint256"},{"indexed":true,"name":"_sender","type":"address"}],"name":"PayloadReceived","type":"event"},{"anonymous":false,"inputs":[{"indexed":true,"name":"_sender","type":"address"},{"indexed":false,"name":"_amount","type":"uint256"},{"indexed":true,"name":"_black","type":"address"}],"name":"EtherDeposited","type":"event"}]);
// set eth account address
contract.options.address = deploy_contract_address;
// set account contract keystore info
acc = web3.eth.accounts.decrypt(keystore_content, ketstore_password);   
// call receivePayload function，params：(ELA main chain address，amount(In ela up to convert wei 10000000000)，fee)
cdata  = contract.methods.receivePayload(ELA_address, withdraw_amount, fee).encodeABI();
// gas minimum is 3000000，gasPrice is any value
tx = {data: cdata, to: contract.options.address, from: acc.address, gas: "3000000", gasPrice: "20000000000"};
// send transaction amount(use receivePayload function amount)
tx.value = withdraw_amount;
acc.signTransaction(tx).then((res)=>{
   console.log("coming");
   stx = res;
   console.log(stx.rawTransaction);
   web3.eth.sendSignedTransaction(stx.rawTransaction).then(console)});
```
*Note: ELA testnet server Deploy Contract Address: `0x491bC043672B9286fA02FA7e0d6A3E5A0384A31A`
ELA mainnet server Deploy Contract Address: `0xC445f9487bF570fF508eA9Ac320b59730e81e503`*

### Configuration

As an alternative to passing the numerous flags to the `geth` binary, you can also pass a
configuration file via:

```shell
$ geth --config /path/to/your_config.toml
```

To get an idea how the file should look like you can use the `dumpconfig` subcommand to
export your existing configuration:

```shell
$ geth --your-favourite-flags dumpconfig
```

*Note: This works only with `geth` v1.6.0 and above.*

### Programmatically interfacing `geth` nodes

As a developer, sooner rather than later you'll want to start interacting with Geth and the Ethereum
network via your own programs and not manually through the console. To aid this, Geth has built-in
support for a JSON-RPC based APIs ([standard APIs](https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/JSON-RPC) and
[Geth specific APIs](https://github.com/elastos/Elastos.ELA.SideChain.ESC/wiki/Management-APIs)). These can be
exposed via HTTP, WebSockets and IPC (unix sockets on unix based platforms, and named pipes on Windows).

The IPC interface is enabled by default and exposes all the APIs supported by Geth, whereas the HTTP
and WS interfaces need to manually be enabled and only expose a subset of APIs due to security reasons.
These can be turned on/off and configured as you'd expect.

HTTP based JSON-RPC API options:

  * `--rpc` Enable the HTTP-RPC server
  * `--rpcaddr` HTTP-RPC server listening interface (default: "localhost")
  * `--rpcport` HTTP-RPC server listening port (default: 20636)
  * `--rpcapi` API's offered over the HTTP-RPC interface (default: "eth,net,web3")
  * `--rpccorsdomain` Comma separated list of domains from which to accept cross origin requests (browser enforced)
  * `--ws` Enable the WS-RPC server
  * `--wsaddr` WS-RPC server listening interface (default: "localhost")
  * `--wsport` WS-RPC server listening port (default: 20635)
  * `--wsapi` API's offered over the WS-RPC interface (default: "eth,net,web3")
  * `--wsorigins` Origins from which to accept websockets requests
  * `--ipcdisable` Disable the IPC-RPC server
  * `--ipcapi` API's offered over the IPC-RPC interface (default: "admin,debug,eth,miner,net,personal,shh,txpool,web3")
  * `--ipcpath` Filename for IPC socket/pipe within the datadir (explicit paths escape it)

You'll need to use your own programming environments' capabilities (libraries, tools, etc) to connect
via HTTP, WS or IPC to a Geth node configured with the above flags and you'll need to speak [JSON-RPC](http://www.jsonrpc.org/specification)
on all transports. You can reuse the same connection for multiple requests!

**Note: Please understand the security implications of opening up an HTTP/WS based
transport before doing so! Hackers on the internet are actively trying to subvert
Ethereum nodes with exposed APIs! Further, all browser tabs can access locally
running web servers, so malicious web pages could try to subvert locally available
APIs!**

### Operating a private network

Maintaining your own private network is more involved as a lot of configurations taken for
granted in the official networks need to be manually set up.

#### Defining the private genesis state

First, you'll need to create the genesis state of your networks, which all nodes need to be
aware of and agree upon. This consists of a small JSON file (e.g. call it `genesis.json`):

```json
{
  "config": {
    "chainId": <arbitrary positive integer>,
    "homesteadBlock": 0,
    "eip150Block": 0,
    "eip155Block": 0,
    "eip158Block": 0,
    "byzantiumBlock": 0,
    "constantinopleBlock": 0,
    "petersburgBlock": 0
  },
  "alloc": {},
  "coinbase": "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000",
  "difficulty": "0x20000",
  "extraData": "",
  "gasLimit": "0x2fefd8",
  "nonce": "0x0000000000000042",
  "mixhash": "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000",
  "parentHash": "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000",
  "timestamp": "0x00"
}
```

The above fields should be fine for most purposes, although we'd recommend changing
the `nonce` to some random value so you prevent unknown remote nodes from being able
to connect to you. If you'd like to pre-fund some accounts for easier testing, create
the accounts and populate the `alloc` field with their addresses.

```json
"alloc": {
  "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000001": {
    "balance": "111111111"
  },
  "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000002": {
    "balance": "222222222"
  }
}
```

With the genesis state defined in the above JSON file, you'll need to initialize **every**
`geth` node with it prior to starting it up to ensure all blockchain parameters are correctly
set:

```shell
$ geth init path/to/genesis.json
```

#### Creating the rendezvous point

With all nodes that you want to run initialized to the desired genesis state, you'll need to
start a bootstrap node that others can use to find each other in your network and/or over
the internet. The clean way is to configure and run a dedicated bootnode:

```shell
$ bootnode --genkey=boot.key
$ bootnode --nodekey=boot.key
```

With the bootnode online, it will display an [`enode` URL](https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/enode-url-format)
that other nodes can use to connect to it and exchange peer information. Make sure to replace the
displayed IP address information (most probably `[::]`) with your externally accessible IP to get the
actual `enode` URL.

*Note: You could also use a full fledged Geth node as a bootnode, but it's the less recommended way.*

#### Starting up your member nodes

With the bootnode operational and externally reachable (you can try
`telnet <ip> <port>` to ensure it's indeed reachable), start every subsequent `geth`
node pointed to the bootnode for peer discovery via the `--bootnodes` flag. It will
probably also be desirable to keep the data directory of your private network separated, so
do also specify a custom `--datadir` flag.

```shell
$ geth --datadir=path/to/custom/data/folder --bootnodes=<bootnode-enode-url-from-above>
```

*Note: Since your network will be completely cut off from the main and test networks, you'll
also need to configure a miner to process transactions and create new blocks for you.*

#### Running a private miner

Mining on the public Ethereum network is a complex task as it's only feasible using GPUs,
requiring an OpenCL or CUDA enabled `ethminer` instance. For information on such a
setup, please consult the [EtherMining subreddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/EtherMining/)
and the [Genoil miner](https://github.com/Genoil/cpp-ethereum) repository.

In a private network setting, however a single CPU miner instance is more than enough for
practical purposes as it can produce a stable stream of blocks at the correct intervals
without needing heavy resources (consider running on a single thread, no need for multiple
ones either). To start a `geth` instance for mining, run it with all your usual flags, extended
by:

```shell
$ geth <usual-flags> --mine --miner.threads=1 --etherbase=0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000
```

Which will start mining blocks and transactions on a single CPU thread, crediting all
proceedings to the account specified by `--etherbase`. You can further tune the mining
by changing the default gas limit blocks converge to (`--targetgaslimit`) and the price
transactions are accepted at (`--gasprice`).
