niifi-token-contract

This repository contains the governance token contract for NIIFI.

Install

This project was developed and tried with Node.js v12 and v14. Other versions of Node.js have thus far not been tested with this project. Note however that @nomiclabs/hardhat-waffle was found to trigger faulty unit tests if installed with npm < 7. Thus you should most likely upgrade your npm with npm install -g npm before continuing.

Install as follows:

npm install --engine-strict

Build

The contract may compiled with

npm run build

Test

After successful build the contract may be tested with

npm run test

Deployment on localhost

Complementary to testing the contract may be deployed to a HardHat Ethereum instance on localhost, allowing for subsequent interaction with the smart contract in console or script.

In a separate terminal start the Ethereum instance

npm run node

Deploy contracts to the node

npm run deploy:localhost

The sample script at scripts/mint.js may be run to mint tokens.

npm run mint:localhost

Another sample script at scripts/transfer.js may be run to transfer tokens from the mint target to another account.

npm run transfer:localhost

Also the HardHat REPL may be started to interact with the HardHat instance

npm run console:localhost

Deployment on public testnet

For deployment on public testnet the EOA to deploy from may be derived from mnemonics. The generation of mnemonics may be done as

npx mnemonics
