`eth` 0.5 tracker

[q9f]

ultimate goals:

• long-term support for ruby 3.0+
• reduce external dependencies of unmaintained and abandoned gems
• move all crypto dependencies to native ruby if possible (secp256k1, openssl) to ensure no breakage by OS

essential components

• keys pairs, accounts
  • https://github.com/etscrivner/rbsecp256k1
  • addresses, checksums (eip 55)
  • encryption, decryption
  • sign, verify/recover
  • hd wallets (money tree?)
• rlp encoding/decoding
  • https://github.com/cryptape/ruby-rlp (archived? fork?)
• transaction composition, signing, and verification
  • chain ID, replay protection (eip 155)
  • types, envelopes (eip 2718, eip 1599)
• message signatures and recovery (raw messages and structured signatures)
  • typed structured data hashing and signing (eip 712)
• implement ethereum tests where applicable https://github.com/ethereum/tests

constraints

• spec-driven, 100% coverage
• fully documented (auto-generate HTML docs)
• ruby-first, low-dependencies, if possible

considerations

• cherry-pick ethereum.rb features or consider merging both gems https://github.com/EthWorks/ethereum.rb
  • client, http client, ws client
  • contracts (?)
