## Deposit Contract A validator will deposit 32 ETH to the deposit contract. The contract will generate a log showing the validator as a qualified validator. The deposit is considered to be burned. As you burn the 32 ETH to participate, the beacon chain will see it and will credit the validator with the validator bond, At some point in the future, after a hard fork, the original deposit + interest can be withdrawn back on one of the shards. To call the `registration` function, it takes arguments of `pubkey`, `proof_of_possession`, `withdrawal_credentials`. If the user wants to deposit more than `DEPOSIT_SIZE` ETH, they would need to make multiple `deposit` calls. When the contract publishes the `ChainStart` log, beacon nodes will start off the beacon chain with slot 0 and last recorded `block.timestamp` as beacon chain genesis time. The registration contract generate logs with the various arguments for consumption by beacon nodes. It does not validate `proof_of_possession` and `withdrawal_credentials`, pushing the validation logic to the beacon chain. ## How to generate bindings for vyper contract This requires that you have vyper and abigen installed in your local machine. Vyper: https://github.com/ethereum/vyper Abigen: https://github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/tree/master/cmd/abigen To generate the abi using the vyper compiler, you can use ``` docker run -v $(pwd):/code ethereum/vyper:0.1.0b12 -f abi /code/depositContract.v.py > abi.json ``` Then the abi will be outputted and you can save it in `abi.json` in the folder. To generate the bytecode you can then use ``` docker run -v $(pwd):/code ethereum/vyper:0.1.0b12 /code/depositContract.v.py > bytecode.bin ``` and save the bytecode in `bytecode.bin` in the folder. Now with both the abi and bytecode we can generate the go bindings. ``` bazel run @com_github_ethereum_go_ethereum//cmd/abigen -- -bin $(pwd)/bytecode.bin -abi $(pwd)/abi.json -out $(pwd)/depositContract.go --pkg depositcontract --type DepositContract ``` ## How to execute tests ``` bazel test //contracts/deposit-contract:go_default_test ``` Run with `-v` option for detailed log output ``` bazel test //contracts/deposit-contract:go_default_test --test_arg=-test.v --test_output=streamed === RUN TestSetupRegistrationContract_OK --- PASS: TestSetupRegistrationContract_OK (0.07s) === RUN TestRegister_Below1ETH --- PASS: TestRegister_Below1ETH (0.02s) === RUN TestRegister_Above32Eth --- PASS: TestRegister_Above32Eth (0.02s) === RUN TestValidatorRegister_OK --- PASS: TestValidatorRegister_OK (0.08s) === RUN TestDrain --- PASS: TestDrain (0.04s) PASS ok contracts/deposit-contract 0.633s ```
