Welcome to ADABlobs! The cutest and most adorable NFT collection on Cardano. There are 300 Blob NFTs to collect with 1 new Blob being available each week until all 300 are released. ADA Blobs is the first auction marketplace on the Cardano Blockchain by leveraging Cardano's Plutus Smart Contract capability. This repository contains the full Plutus Smart Contract implementation for ADA Blobs. The repository for the full front end website implementation can be found here

A NFT Auction Smart Contract

This repo contains the source for a Plutus NFT auction smart contract. The source for the smart contract is located in src/Auction/Auction.hs.

The repo also contains an executable for compiling the smart contract in app/Main.hs.

Building

The compile the code to a Plutus smart contract, run:

cabal run

This will write a file to scripts/auction.plutus

A shell.nix is also providing for nix users.

Creating the Script Address

After compiling the smart contract, it is necessary to make a script address.

First source either the testnet or mainnet environment variables.

For testnet

$ source scripts/envars/testnet-env.envvars

For mainnet

$ source scripts/envars/mainnet-env.envvars

The environment variable files set CARDANO_NODE_SOCKET_PATH to the path of the appropriate Daedalus socket file (either Testnet Daedalus or the regular mainnet Daedalus). It you run a cardano-node on your own you should set this environment variable to your socket file location after sourcing the environment variable file.

Next, run:

scripts/hash-plutus.sh

This will make the files testnet/auction.addr or mainnet/auction.addr.

Example Transactions

Example transactions can be found in scripts/core. The scripts are used by other scripts in scripts/happy-path which demonstrates how to start, bid and close the auction.

Example Redeemers and Datums

Example redeemers are found in scripts/testnet/redeemers and example datums are found in scripts/datums.

Full System Testing Prerequistes

Before testing you need to make sure you have cardano-cli installed and on your path, and it must be version 1.31.0 or greater. You will also need the json utility jq as well as cardano-cli helper cardano-cli-balance-fixer which can be downloaded here: https://github.com/Canonical-LLC/cardano-cli-balance-fixer

Init (only done once)

First create the wallets and get the protocol parameters.

$ ./scripts/wallets/make-all-wallets.sh
$ ./scripts/query-protocol-parameters.sh

Manual Testing

We will walk through the process of manually testing a start, bid, outbid and close flow.

After following the setup steps above, first make sure that the ~/$BLOCKCHAIN_PREFIX/seller.addr has Ada.

Start by minting a token for the auction:

$ scripts/mint-0-policy.sh

Wait for the next slot:

$ scripts/wait/until-next-block.sh

You can now view the minted token in the seller's wallet:

$ scripts/query/seller.sh

Now start the auction by calling:

$ scripts/happy-path/lock-tx.sh 400000 0

This will create a auction that expires in 400 seconds. The 0 is namespace so we can have more than one auction going at a time.

Wait for the next slot:

$ scripts/wait/until-next-block.sh

You can now view the token at the smart contract address:

$ scripts/query/sc.sh

Make sure that the ~/$BLOCKCHAIN_PREFIX/seller.addr has over 11 Ada.

Now create a bid:

$ scripts/happy-path/bid-1-tx.sh

Wait for the next slot, and query the script address

$ scripts/query/sc.sh

It should show the additional 10 Ada bid is now stored there.

Make sure that the ~/$BLOCKCHAIN_PREFIX/buyer1.addr has over 33 Ada.

Now create a bid, that replaces the first bid:

$ scripts/happy-path/bid-2-tx.sh

Wait for the next slot, and query the script address

$ scripts/query/sc.sh

This should show the new bid's Ada.

Query the buyer address:

$ scripts/query/buyer.sh

This should show the old bid Ada has been returned.

At this wait for the auction to expire.

Make sure that the ~/$BLOCKCHAIN_PREFIX/marketplace.addr has over 3 Ada.

When the time is right, call close:

$ scripts/happy-path/close-tx.sh

Wait for the next slot, and then check that the token is in buyer1's wallet:

$ scripts/query/buyer-1.sh

and the bid is in the sellers wallet:

$ scripts/query/seller.sh

and the marketplace:

$ scripts/query/marketplace.sh

and

$ scripts/query/royalty.sh

Full System Tests

There are three large system tests that cover the main use cases and potential vulnerabilities we are aware of. The tests can be run on mainnet or testnet.

They take a long time to run, around 20 minutes, and can fail if the testnet is overloaded.

Luckily running them is easy:

$ ./scripts/tests/all.sh

The tests will start running. If the script errors one of the tests has failed.

If the scripts pass one must still verify that assets were transfered correctly at each step.

In the temp/accounts/diff directory, there will be subdirectories for each test flow. Within these directories are folders for each test step. If assets were transfer, there will be json files the account difference.

For instance after the first step to lock assets at the script address, the following json files are written:

$ cat temp/accounts/diffs/start-bid1-bid2-close.sh/0-1/sc.json
{"":{"":1758582},"d6cfdbedd242056674c0e51ead01785497e3a48afbbb146dc72ee1e2":{"123456":1}}
$ cat temp/accounts/diffs/start-bid1-bid2-close.sh/0-1/seller.json
{"":{"":-1942827},"d6cfdbedd242056674c0e51ead01785497e3a48afbbb146dc72ee1e2":{"123456":-1}}

This shows that the smart contract (sc), received a non-native token (d6cfdbedd242056674c0e51ead01785497e3a48afbbb146dc72ee1e2.123456) and 1758582 lovelaces.

As expected, the seller lost at least this much. Notice it lost more Ada, because of fees.
