Staking protocol for locking & yield generation of LINK

Protocol for locking & yield generation of LINK ERC-20 Token

The project consists of three main contracts: Protocol, LINK ERC-20, CARD ERC-721

LINK is deposited to be locked over one year and to be vested linearly every month.

CARD is issued by depositing some LINK, and protocol generates new LINK daily based on random params until the owner banish the card and withdraw LINK from protocol.

Setting up Environment

Make a copy of .env.example, and rename it to .env. Create an alchemy account and api key for deploying contracts. This rpc url is also used to fork rinkeby network to launch a local node for test purposes. Write your mnemonic to deploy contracts to live networks. Create an etherscan api key for verifying contracts on Etherscan.

RINKEBY_RPC_URL=https://eth-rinkeby.alchemyapi.io/v2/<YOUR ALCHEMY KEY>
MNEMONIC=abc123abc123abc123abc123abc123abc123abc123abc123abc123abc123abc1
ETHERSCAN_API_KEY=ABC123ABC123ABC123ABC123ABC123ABC1

Install npm packages.

npm install

Local Test

Run a local node. It forks Rinkeby Testnet by default.

npx hardhat node

Run test codes.

npm run test:local

Deploy

Deploy contracts to Rinkeby network.

hardhat run --network rinkeby scripts/deploy.js

Verify

To try out Etherscan verification, you first need to deploy a contract to an Ethereum network that's supported by Etherscan, such as Rinkeby.

copy the deployment address and paste it in to replace DEPLOYED_CONTRACT_ADDRESS in this command:

npx hardhat verify --network rinkeby DEPLOYED_CONTRACT_ADDRESS
