  • Experience Type: Intermediate - Motoko;

Description

This motoko class is allows for canisters to hold assets on other EVM based chains.

This bounty gives the opportunity to

  • learn motoko

  • learn about signing transactions

  • learn about evm transactions

  • learn about t-ecdsa

  • learn about managing nonces

The NoKey wallet is a stable class that any Motoko canister can add that will allow it to act as a wallet for Evm-based chains. It should implement the following features:

  • Derive a t-ecdsa key according to a consistent derivation scheme.

  • Save that derivation for the user in a (Nat,Text) pair.

  • Sign Evm-based transactions with a t-ecdsa key selected by the wallet owner. The transaction will be passed in as part of the sign function sign(rawtrx, {#derivation([Nat], #named(id)}, nonce, other Info?, saveHistory)

  • Keep a history of signed transactions.

  • Enable clearing the history

  • Provide an upgrade strategy, preferably using stable vars.

  • Suggest and follow a safe nonce generation/management scheme that protects the user.

To apply for this bounty you should:

  • Include links to previous work writing tutorials and any other open-source contributions(ie. your github).

  • Include a brief overview of how you will complete the task. This can include things like which dependencies you will use, how you will make it self-contained, the sacrifices you would have to make to achieve that, or how you will make it simple. Anything that can convince us you are taking a thoughtful and expert approach to this design.

  • Give an estimated timeline on completing the task.

  • Post your application text to the Bounty Thread

Selection Process

The ICDevs.org developer’s advisors will propose a vote to award the bounty and the Developer Advisors will vote.

Bounty Completion

Please keep your ongoing code in a public repository(fork or branch is ok). Please provide regular (at least weekly) updates. Code commits count as updates if you link to your branch/fork from the bounty thread. We just need to be able to see that you are making progress.

The balance of the bounty will be paid out at completion.

Once you have finished, please alert the dev forum thread that you have completed work and where we can find that work. We will review and award the bounty reward if the terms have been met. If there is any coordination work(like a pull request) or additional documentation needed we will inform you of what is needed before we can award the reward.

Bounty Abandonment and Re-awarding

If you cease work on the bounty for a prolonged(at the Developer Advisory Board’s discretion) or if the quality of work degrades to the point that we think someone else should be working on the bounty we may re-award it. We will be transparent about this and try to work with you to push through and complete the project, but sometimes, it may be necessary to move on or to augment your contribution with another resource which would result in a split bounty.

Funding

The bounty was generously funded by the DFINITY Foundation. If you would like to turbocharge this bounty you can seed additional donations of ICP to 6e8afebab59f703356e189297e3f49fbe18ace5150ccc43f74f30ceb3f6b5ece. ICDevs will match the bounty $40:1 ICP for the first 125 ICP out of the DFINITY grant and then 0.25:1 after that. All donations will be tax deductible for US Citizens and Corporations. If you send a donation and need a donation receipt, please email the hash of your donation transaction, physical address, and name to donations@icdevs.org. More information about how you can contribute can be found at our donations page.

FYI: General Bounty Process

Discussion

The draft bounty is posted to the DFINITY developer’s forum for discussion

Ratification

The developer advisor’s board will propose a bounty be ratified and a vote will take place to ratify the bounty. Until a bounty is ratified by the Dev it hasn’t been officially adopted. Please take this into consideration if you are considering starting early.

Open for application

Developers can submit applications to the Dev Forum post. The council will consider these as they come in and propose a vote to award the bounty to one of the applicants. If you would like to apply anonymously you can send an email to austin at icdevs dot org or sending a PM on the dev forum.

Assigned

A developer is currently working on this bounty, you are free to contribute, but any splitting of the award will need to be discussed with the currently assigned developer.

We just applied for the Rust version of this bounty on ICDevs.org Bounty #27b - NoKeyWallet - Rust - up to $10k - #2 by LiveDuo.

This bounty is of potential interest for us too as it’s very similar. If not assigned elsewhere we will apply when we are closer to complete #27b (assuming we are assigned to #27b).

Hi @skilesare, is this up for grabs? If yes and @LiveDuo is not available for this anymore, then I would like to work on it.

I have submitted it to be assigned. I expect it to pass:

Good luck. I’d advise using the EVM utility canister for the actual EVM based stuff and keep the wallet management and nonce stuff in motoko:

Thanks @skilesare!

I’ve started the implementation in the following repository: GitHub - darkdrag00nv2/ic_no_key_wallet.mo: A stable class exposing wallet funtionalities for EVM based chains.

Added the basic structure of the project and support for creating address. Will keep you posted on future upates.

Status update: I am ~75% done.

Actually, now I am a bit confused about the scope of this bounty and #32.

@skilesare Did we want to do this as this would mean that I make inter-canister calls from my library?

In #32, it is mentioned that we want to avoid async calls to a utility canister and the library from #32 is supposed to use this library for signing transactions. So if this library makes inter-canister calls, then how would the library from #32 avoid them? :thinking:

@skilesare Gentle ping about my questions.

Basically, I have the following questions:

  1. Am I correct in using the evm-util library for signing the transaction?
  2. It seems like in #32 also, we are implementing signing transaction as well. So not sure why we want to repeat the same in here.

I’m parking this one up for now. Most of the work is done but I don’t know if it aligns with what was expected in the bounty. Will pick it up once you’re able to respond.

Hi, any updates on this? Thx :slight_smile:

@darkdrag00n I completely missed this message and it just bubbled up. What do we need to get settled? You should be able to use #32 as a resource and there is no reason for you rewrite it.

As far as signing goes, I’d imagine you would use t-ecda. To the extent that evm-utils uses tecdsa you can use it.
