ICCO - Initial Cross-Chain Offerings

Objective

To use the Wormhole message passing protocol to enable trustless cross-chain token sales.

Background

Token sales are one of the major applications of today's blockchains. Currently they are either conducted on a single chain in a trustless fashion or in a centralized fashion with support to contribute tokens from multiple chains. Using wormhole we can bridge this gap - Allow users to contribute assets on all supported chains and issue a token that we can bridge to all chains for them to claim after the sale has been concluded.

Goals

We want to implement a generalized, trustless cross-chain mechanism for token sales.

  • Allow contributions of whitelisted assets on all supported chains
    • Users don't need to maintain multiple wallets, but can conveniently participate from their native environment.
  • Issue a token on wormhole chain and leverage the wormhole token bridge to distribute them to all participants on their chains.

Non-Goals

  • Automatically relay messages across chains. The design assumes there is always a party interested in synchronizing the data across chains, let it be the token issuer or an investor who wants to claim its tokens.

Overview

There are two programs needed to model this.

  • A TokenSaleConductor, which lives on one chain (It can exist on all chains, however it only needs to be invoked on one to initiate a sale).
    • It holds the tokens that are up for sale and maintains and collects the state around the sale.
  • TokenSaleContributor contracts live on all chains.
    • Collects contributions, distributes tokens to TokenSaleContributor contracts after the sale has ended and the token allocation has been bridged.

These contracts are upgradable with a single key (see Owner Only section of each program for relevant methods). We encourage the implementor to use a multisig wallet for deployment at the very least.

Detailed Design

To create a sale, a user invokes the createSale() method on the sale TokenSaleConductor. It takes the following set or arguments:

  • A Raise struct with the following arguments:
    • Boolean to determine if the sale is a fixed-price sale
    • Offered token native address
    • Offered token native chain
    • Offered token amount
    • A start time for when contributions can be accepted
    • An end time for when contributions will no longer be accepted
    • A time for when allocations can be distributed to contributors
    • A minimum USD amount to raise
    • A maximum USD amount to raise
    • The address that can claim the proceeds of the sale
    • The address that should receive the offered tokens in case the minimum raise amount is not met
    • The KYC authority public key
  • An array of accepted tokens on each chain + the USD conversion rate which they are accepted at

The createSale() method deposits the offered tokens, assigns an ID which identifies the sale and attests a SaleInit packet over the wormhole. This packet contains all the information from above. It will also attest a SolanaSaleInit packet over the wormhole if any Solana tokens are accepted as collateral in the sale. The sale information is also stored locally.

The attested SaleInit packet (or the SolanaSaleInit) is submitted to the TokenSaleContributor contracts. The TokenSaleContributor contract stores the sale information locally which is relevant to its chain.

The TokenSaleConductor contract can terminate the sale by calling abortSaleBeforeStartTime() before the sale period begins. Only the wallet that called createSale() can invoke this method.

During the start and end timestamp the TokenSaleContributor contracts accept contributions in the specified tokens. The contribute() method takes an argument bytes memory sig which is a third party signature stating that KYC was performed for a particular contribution. The TokenSaleContributor calls verifySignature to recover a public key from the passed signature. If the public key matches the authority address in the TokenSaleContributor state, the contribution is permitted. In the case where the KYC authority key is compromised, the contract deployer can invoke the updateSaleAuthority() method on the TokenSaleConductor. An AuthorityUpdated packet will be attested over the wormhole, and the TokensSaleContributor contracts will update the known authority for the specified sale by calling saleAuthorityUpdated().

After the sale duration, anyone can call the attestContributions() method on the TokenSaleContributor, which attests a ContributionsSealed packet over the wormhole. If the sale accepts Solana tokens, the Solana TokenSaleContributor will send the solanaTokenAccount in the ContributionsSealed packet. This tells the TokenSaleConductor which account to send the sale tokens to on Solana after the sale is completed.

The TokenSaleConductor now collects the Contributions packets from all chains & tokens.

After all contributions have been collected, anyone can call the sealSale() method on the TokenSaleConductor. The method evaluates whether the minimum raise amount has been met using the conversion rates specified initially (a later version could use rates from an oracle at closing). The conversion rates are scaled based on the accepted token decimals on the TokenSaleConductor chain relative to the token decimals on the native chain. It is crucial that the conversion rates are scaled properly in order to correctly calculate token allocations. In case it was successful it:

  • Calculates allocations and excess contributions (if total contributions sum to a value larger than the maximum raise amount)
    • Excess contributions are calculated by taking the difference between the maximum raise amount and the total contributions. Each contributor receives excess contributions proportional to their contribution amount (individualContribution / totalContributions * totalExcessContributions)
  • Emits a SaleSealed packet - indicated to the TokenSaleContributor contracts that the sale was successful
  • Emits another SaleSealed packet if the sale accepts Solana tokens as collateral. The message is in the same format as the original SaleSealed packet, but only contains information regarding Solana token allocations. This is necessary due to VAA size contraints on Solana.
  • Bridges the relevant share of offered tokens to the TokenSaleContributor contracts.
  • Refunds the refundRecipient sale tokens during a fixed-price sale if the maxRaise parameter is not exceeded.

Or in case the goal was not met, it:

  • Emits a SaleAborted packet.
  • Refunds the sale tokens to the refundRecipient

The TokenSaleContributor contracts has two functions to consume the relevant attestations:

  • saleSealed()
    • Starts to accept claims of users acquired tokens via claimAllocation()
    • Starts to accept claims of users excess contributions via claimExcessContribution()
    • Bridges the raised funds over to the recipient
  • saleAborted()
    • Starts to accept refund claims via claimRefund()
