Ara SmartContracts

Representing open-source projects as galaxies, while users as stars.

What is Ara?

In Ara, every open-source project is called a galaxy. Once the user's issue is resolved, galaxy distributes the stars to the user, maintainer and contributor. Your goal as the project community is to gather as much stars as possible. Once, star amount exceeds a certain threshold, open-source project in Ara changes it's owner to the star owners: users, collaborators along with the maintainers.

Getting Started

Install the package:

npm install @ara-web/smartcontracts

Using the Contract ABIs

Import the deployed contract ABIs and types in your application:

import { allStarsAbi } from '@ara-web/smartcontracts/deployed';

Use Cases

1. Reading Contract Data

import { createReadContract } from '@wagmi/core';
import { allStarsAbi } from '@ara-web/smartcontracts/deployed';
import { baseSepolia } from 'wagmi/chains';

// Read galaxy data
const galaxyData = await createReadContract({
  address: '0x70b089840FB3D567C5d618b222503d68A8ad0dAa',
  abi: allStarsAbi,
  functionName: 'galaxies',
  args: [galaxyId],
  chainId: baseSepolia.id,
});

2. Writing to Contracts

import { createWriteContract } from '@wagmi/core';
import { allStarsAbi } from '@ara-web/smartcontracts/deployed';

// Add a new galaxy (backend only)
await createWriteContract({
  address: '0x70b089840FB3D567C5d618b222503d68A8ad0dAa',
  abi: allStarsAbi,
  functionName: 'addGalaxy',
  args: [/* galaxy parameters */],
});

3. Listening to Events

import { createWatchContractEvent } from '@wagmi/core';
import { allStarsAbi } from '@ara-web/smartcontracts/deployed';

// Watch for new galaxies
createWatchContractEvent({
  address: '0x70b089840FB3D567C5d618b222503d68A8ad0dAa',
  abi: allStarsAbi,
  eventName: 'GalaxyAdded',
  onLogs(logs) {
    console.log('New galaxy added:', logs);
  },
});

4. With React and wagmi

import { useReadContract, useWriteContract } from 'wagmi';
import { allStarsAbi } from '@ara-web/smartcontracts/deployed';

function GalaxyInfo({ galaxyId }: { galaxyId: number }) {
  const { data: galaxy } = useReadContract({
    address: '0x70b089840FB3D567C5d618b222503d68A8ad0dAa',
    abi: allStarsAbi,
    functionName: 'galaxies',
    args: [galaxyId],
  });

  return <div>{galaxy?.name}</div>;
}

For Contributors

Deploy

Firstly, set the .env based on .env.example.

Then deploy the smartcontracts:

npx hardhat run ./scripts/deploy-all-stars.js --network [network_name]

Then verify the smartcontracts:

npx hardhat verify --network [network_name] [deployed_contract_address]

Generating ABIs

To regenerate the ABIs after contract changes:

1. Add the addresses and network in /wagmi.config.ts
2. Run npm run wagmi to re-generate the abi files
3. The updated ./abis.ts will be ready for publishing
