Proof of Contract Stake - Substrate Node

Proof of Contract Stake (W3F Grant Project)

Abstract

Proof of Contract Stake (PoCS) is a staking system utilizing contract gas history introducing code-mining by incentivizing developers to secure the network. Contracts’ stake scores depend on age, reputation, and gas use, deterring collusion attacks. Further information on PoCS Protocol Design are detailed in the PoCS Research Page

Substrate Implementation

This Substrate Node is an adaptation of the substrate-stencil to integrate PoCS protocol, which includes modified pallet_contracts and pallet_staking that supports Contract Staking Feature interoperable with current Substrate NPoS-BABE-GRANDPA public node infrastructure.

Build & Run PoCS Node

1. Clone the repository from GitHub:

   git clone https://github.com/auguth/pocs

2. Run the Rust Setup Script

   chmod +x setup.sh && ./setup.sh

3. Build the project in release mode:

   cargo build --release

4. Run the executable with the specified configuration:

   ./target/release/pocs --dev

5. Use Polkadot-JS-App and Contracts UI to interact with the Node. Refer to Testing Guide.md for extended information.
