oasis-web3-gateway

Web3 Gateway for Oasis-SDK Paratime EVM module.

Building and Testing

Prerequisites

• Go (at least version 1.23).
• PostgreSQL (at least version 13.3).

Additionally, for testing:

• Oasis Core at least version 24.0.x.
• Emerald Paratime at least version 11.x.x.
• (or) Sapphire Paratime at least version 0.7.3.

Build

To build the binary run:

make build

Testing on Localnet

The Docker containers can be used to test changes to the gateway or run tests by bind-mounting the runtime state directory (/serverdir/node) into your local filesystem.

docker run --rm -ti -p5432:5432 -p8544-8548:8544-8548 -v /tmp/eth-runtime-test:/serverdir/node ghcr.io/oasisprotocol/sapphire-localnet:local

If needed, the oasis-web3-gateway or sapphire-paratime executables could also be bind-mounted into the container, allowing for quick turnaround time when testing the full gateway & paratime stack together.

Running tests

For running tests, start the docker network without the gateway, by setting the OASIS_DOCKER_NO_GATEWAY=yes environment variable:

docker run --rm -ti -e OASIS_DOCKER_NO_GATEWAY=yes -p5432:5432 -p8544-8548:8544-8548 -v /tmp/eth-runtime-test:/serverdir/node ghcr.io/oasisprotocol/sapphire-localnet:local

Once bootstrapped, run the tests:

make test

Localnet Docker images

You can also build emerald-dev and sapphire-dev docker images with a complete confidential and non-confidential Localnet Oasis stack respectively for development, CI and testing.

make docker

Check out docker folder for more information.

Running the Gateway on Testnet/Mainnet

The gateway connects to an Emerald/Sapphire enabled Oasis ParaTime Client Node.

In addition to the general instructions for setting up an Oasis ParaTime Client Node update the node configuration (e.g. config.yml) as follows:

# ... sections not relevant are omitted ...
runtime:
  mode: client
  paths:
    - <orc_bundle_path>

  config:
    "<paratime_id>":
      # The following allows the gateway to perform gas estimation of smart
      # contract calls (not allowed by default).
      estimate_gas_by_simulating_contracts: true
      # The following allows some more resource-intensive queries to be called
      # by the gateway (not allowed by default).
      allowed_queries:
        - all_expensive: true

Set up the config file (e.g. gateway.yml) appropriately:

runtime_id: <paratime_id>
node_address: "unix:<path-to-oasis-node-unix-socket>"
enable_pruning: false
pruning_step: 100000
indexing_start: 0

log:
  level: debug
  format: json

database:
  host: <postgresql_host>
  port: <postgresql_port>
  db: <postgresql_db>
  user: <postgresql_user>
  password: <postgresql_password>
  dial_timeout: 5
  read_timeout: 10
  write_timeout: 5
  max_open_conns: 0

gateway:
  chain_id: <chain_id>
  http:
    host: <gateway_listen_interface>
    port: <gateway_listen_port>
    cors: ["*"]
  ws:
    host: <gateway_listen_interface>
    port: <gateway_listen_websocket_port>
    origins: ["*"]
  method_limits:
    get_logs_max_rounds: 100
  oasis_rpcs: true # Enable Oasis-specific requests for confidentiality etc.

Note: all configuration settings can also be set via environment variables. For example to set the database password use:

DATABASE__PASSWORD: <postgresql_password>

environment variable.

Start the gateway by running the oasis-web3-gateway binary:

oasis-web3-gateway --config gateway.yml

Wipe state to force a complete reindex

To wipe the DB state and force a reindexing use the truncate-db subcommand:

oasis-web3-gateway truncate-db --config gateway.yml --unsafe

Warning: this will wipe all existing state in the Postgres DB and can lead to extended downtime while the Web3 Gateway is reindexing the blocks.
