Rosetta Generic go-ethereum-based SDK

Build once. Integrate your blockchain everywhere.

Overview

The rosetta-geth-sdk repository provides a collection of packages used for interaction with the Rosetta API specification. The goal of this SDK is to help accelerate Rosetta API implementation on go-ethereum based chains.

Rosetta is an open-source specification and set of tools that makes integrating with blockchains simpler, faster, and more reliable. The Rosetta API is specified in the OpenAPI 3.0 format.

Quick Examples

Complete SDK Example

This ethereum example provides a reference implementation of the Rosetta API for Ethereum in Golang. This example highlights how to load a configuration, load supported operation types and errors, create a new Ethereum client, and start the Rosetta server.

package main

import (
	"log"

	"github.com/coinbase/rosetta-geth-sdk/examples/ethereum/client"
	"github.com/coinbase/rosetta-geth-sdk/examples/ethereum/config"
	sdkTypes "github.com/coinbase/rosetta-geth-sdk/types"
	"github.com/coinbase/rosetta-geth-sdk/utils"
)

func main() {
	// Load configuration using the ENVs in the environment.
	cfg, err := config.LoadConfiguration()
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalln("unable to load configuration: %w", err)
	}

	// Load all the supported operation types, status
	types := sdkTypes.LoadTypes()
	errors := sdkTypes.Errors

	// Create a new ethereum client by leveraging SDK functionalities
	client, err := client.NewEthereumClient()
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalln("cannot initialize client: %w", err)
	}

	// Bootstrap to start the Rosetta API server
	err = utils.BootStrap(cfg, types, errors, client)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalln("unable to bootstrap Rosetta server: %w", err)
	}
}

The LoadConfiguration file loads all the Blockchain metadata and Rosetta configuration.

The NewEthereumClient file creates a new service client, which leverages SDK functionalities, and implements a few gas related interfaces.

Valid Tokens

See (examples/tokenList.json) for a list of supported ERC20 tokens.

SDK Packages

• Client: Low-level communication with any go-ethereum based blockchain
• Services: Rosetta RESTful services for Data and Construction APIs
• Utils: Bootstrap code for starting up a Rosetta API server
• Examples: Examples of how to build your Rosetta integration with the SDK

Configuring the SDK

See the Configuration file for more information on how to configure the SDK.

SDK interfaces and method overriding

The SDK defines a list of Client interfaces, which allows the Rosetta service to interact with a go-ethereum based blockchain.

The SDK provides a default implementation of the client module for a quick start. However, these interfaces require custom integration to override:

1. GetBlockReceipts
2. GetTransactionReceipt
3. GetNativeTransferGasLimit

Development

Helpful commands for development:

Install dependencies

make deps

Run tests

make test

Lint the source code

make lint

Check for security concerns

make salus

Generate a coverage report

make coverage-local

Testing

To validate rosetta-geth-sdk, install rosetta-cli and run one of the following commands:

• rosetta-cli check:data --configuration-file rosetta-cli-conf/testnet/config.json - This command validates that the Data API implementation is correct, using the ethereum testnet node. It also ensures that the implementation does not miss any balance-changing operations.
• rosetta-cli check:construction --configuration-file rosetta-cli-conf/testnet/config.json - This command validates the Construction API implementation. It also verifies transaction construction, signing, and submissions to the testnet network.
• rosetta-cli check:data --configuration-file rosetta-cli-conf/mainnet/config.json - This command validates that the Data API implementation is correct, using the ethereum mainnet node. It also ensures that the implementation does not miss any balance-changing operations.

When you've finished an implementation for a blockchain, share your work in the ecosystem category of the community site. Platforms looking for implementations for certain blockchains will be monitoring this section of the website for high-quality implementations they can use for integration. Make sure that your implementation meets the expectations of any implementation.

You can also find community implementations for a variety of blockchains in the rosetta-ecosystem repository.
