Wasm Zone

This repository hosts Wasmd, the first implementation of a cosmos zone with wasm smart contracts enabled.

This code was forked from the cosmos/gaia repository and the majority of the codebase is the same as gaia.

Note: Requires Go 1.13+

Compatibility: Last merge from cosmos/gaia was 090c545347b03e59415a18107a0a279c703c8f40 (Jan 23, 2020)

The v0.7.2 release is based on cosmos-sdk v0.38.3 and should be used in any public networks (as that fixed a security issue).

Supported Systems

The supported systems are limited by the dlls created in go-cosmwasm. In particular, we only support MacOS and Linux. Even for Linux, we only support glibc 2.12+. This includes all known supported distributions using glibc (CentOS 7 uses 2.12, obsolete Debian Jessy uses 2.19). We do not currently support muslc systems, such as Alpine Linux, which is popular in docker distributions.

There is some work done in go-cosmwasm to extend support, but it is rather tricky with Rust build flags.

Stability

This is alpha software, do not run on a production system. Notably, we currently provide no migration path not even "dump state and restart" to move to future versions. At beta we will begin to offer migrations and better backwards compatibility guarantees.

With the v0.6.0 tag, we are entering semver. That means anything with v0.6.x tags is compatible with each other, and everything with v0.7.x tags is compatible with each other. We will have a series of minor version updates prior to v1.0.0, where we offer strong backwards compatibility guarantees. In particular, work has begun in the cosmwasm library on v0.8, which will change many internal APIs, in order to allow adding other languages for writing smart contracts. We hope to stabilize much of this well before v1, but we are still in the process of learning from real-world use-cases

Encoding

We use standard cosmos-sdk encoding (amino) for all sdk Messages. However, the message body sent to all contracts, as well as the internal state is encoded using JSON. Cosmwasm allows arbitrary bytes with the contract itself responsible for decodng. For better UX, we often use json.RawMessage to contain these bytes, which enforces that it is valid json, but also give a much more readable interface. If you want to use another encoding in the contracts, that is a relatively minor change to wasmd but would currently require a fork. Please open in issue if this is important for your use case.

Quick Start

make install
make test

if you are using a linux without X or headless linux, look at this article or #31.

To set up a single node testnet, look at the deployment documentation.

If you want to deploy a whole cluster, look at the network scripts.

Dockerized

We provide a docker image to help with test setups. There are two modes to use it

Build: docker build -t cosmwasm/wasmd:latest . or pull from dockerhub

Dev server

Bring up a local node with a test account containing tokens

This is just designed for local testing/CI - do not use these scripts in production. Very likely you will assign tokens to accounts whose mnemonics are public on github.

docker volume rm -f wasmd_data

# pass password (one time) as env variable for setup, so we don't need to keep typing it
# add some addresses that you have private keys for (locally) to give them genesis funds
docker run --rm -it \
    -e PASSWORD=xxxxxxxxx \
    --mount type=volume,source=wasmd_data,target=/root \
    cosmwasm/wasmd:latest ./setup.sh cosmos1pkptre7fdkl6gfrzlesjjvhxhlc3r4gmmk8rs6

# This will start both wasmd and wasmcli rest-server, only wasmcli output is shown on the screen
docker run --rm -it -p 26657:26657 -p 26656:26656 -p 1317:1317 \
    --mount type=volume,source=wasmd_data,target=/root \
    cosmwasm/wasmd:latest ./run_all.sh

# view wasmd logs in another shell
docker run --rm -it \
    --mount type=volume,source=wasmd_data,target=/root,readonly \
    cosmwasm/wasmd:latest ./logs.sh

CI

For CI, we want to generate a template one time and save to disk/repo. Then we can start a chain copying the initial state, but not modifying it. This lets us get the same, fresh start every time.

# Init chain and pass addresses so they are non-empty accounts
rm -rf ./template && mkdir ./template
docker run --rm -it \
    -e PASSWORD=xxxxxxxxx \
    --mount type=bind,source=$(pwd)/template,target=/root \
    cosmwasm/wasmd:latest ./setup.sh cosmos1pkptre7fdkl6gfrzlesjjvhxhlc3r4gmmk8rs6

sudo chown -R $(id -u):$(id -g) ./template

# FIRST TIME
# bind to non-/root and pass an argument to run.sh to copy the template into /root
# we need wasmd_data volume mount not just for restart, but also to view logs
docker volume rm -f wasmd_data
docker run --rm -it -p 26657:26657 -p 26656:26656 -p 1317:1317 \
    --mount type=bind,source=$(pwd)/template,target=/template \
    --mount type=volume,source=wasmd_data,target=/root \
    cosmwasm/wasmd:latest ./run_all.sh /template

# RESTART CHAIN with existing state
docker run --rm -it -p 26657:26657 -p 26656:26656 -p 1317:1317 \
    --mount type=volume,source=wasmd_data,target=/root \
    cosmwasm/wasmd:latest ./run_all.sh

# view wasmd logs in another shell
docker run --rm -it \
    --mount type=volume,source=wasmd_data,target=/root,readonly \
    cosmwasm/wasmd:latest ./logs.sh
