A Sample Application for Asset Exchange across Two Besu Networks using HTLC
Deploy contracts
The following command deploys the contracts on the two test networks:
make deploy-contractsThis internally does the following:
- copies the core network contracts to the contracts folder in the truffle application.
- In future, this should be replaced by exporting the core contracts as an npm or EthPM package and the app importing this package.
- The support is also only for ERC-20 tokens right now. This will be extended to ERC-721 soon. And in this future for any asset type.
- updates truffle-config.js based on the environment variables BESU_NETWORK_HOST and BESU_NETWORK_PORT
- installs the missing packages
- compiles the contracts and migrates them to both the test networks
Run the asset exchange application
The sample application will have Alice transfer AliceERC20 tokens in Network 1 to Bob atomically with Bob transfering an equivalent amount of BobERC20 tokens to Alice in Network 2.
node app/AssetExchangeERC20.jsTroubleshoot
Check if truffle is installed: npm install -g truffle
Pay attention to the number of tokens initally owned by Alice and Bob in Networks 1 and 2 respectively, if there are other applications that use/spend their tokens in parallel to this app. Ensure that there are sufficient tokens in their accounts to lock.
