# Wormhole bridge - ETH
These smart contracts allow to use Ethereum as foreign chain in the Wormhole protocol.
The `Wormhole` contract is the bridge contract and allows tokens to be transferred out of ETH and VAAs to be submitted
to transfer tokens in or change configuration settings.
The `WrappedAsset` is a ERC-20 token contract that holds metadata about a wormhole asset on ETH. Wormhole assets are all
wrapped non-ETH assets that are currently held on ETH.
### Deploying
To deploy the bridge on Ethereum you first need to compile all smart contracts:
`npx truffle compile`
To deploy you can either use the bytecode from the `build/contracts` folder or the oz cli `oz deploy <Contract>`
([Documentation](https://docs.openzeppelin.com/learn/deploying-and-interacting)).
You first need to deploy one `Wrapped Asset` and initialize it using dummy data.
Then deploy the `Wormhole` using the initial guardian key (`key_x,y_parity,0`) and the address of the previously deployed
`WrappedAsset`. The wrapped asset contract will be used as proxy library to all the creation of cheap proxy wrapped
assets.
### Testing
For each test run:
Run `npx ganache-cli --deterministic --time "1970-01-01T00:00:00+00:00"` to start a chain.
Run the tests using `npm run test`
### User methods
`submitVAA(bytes vaa)` can be used to execute a VAA.
`lockAssets(address asset, uint256 amount, bytes32 recipient, uint8 target_chain)` can be used
to transfer any ERC20 compliant asset out of ETH to any recipient on another chain that is connected to the Wormhole
protocol. `asset` is the asset to be transferred, `amount` is the amount to transfer (this must be <= the allowance that
you have previously given to the bridge smart contract if the token is not a wormhole token), `recipient` is the foreign
chain address of the recipient, `target_chain` is the id of the chain to transfer to.
`lockETH(bytes32 recipient, uint8 target_chain)` is a convenience function to wrap the Ether sent with the function call
and transfer it as described in `lockAssets`.
