Ethereum to Binance Chain bridge demo

https://forum.poa.network/t/ethereum-to-binance-chain-bridge/2696

Demo info

This demo, at the beginning, consists of three validator parties, while only two are enough to sign any transaction in the Binance Chain, confirm token transfer on the Ethereum Side, or vote for state changes.

ERC20 Token is used on the Ethereum side of the bridge. All ERC20 tokens are initially located on the address associated with DEPLOY_PRIVATE_KEY.

BEP2 Token is used on the Binance Chain side.

All parts of this demo are docker containers.

Running demo:

1. Preparation
   • (1.1) Download tbnbcli from https://github.com/binance-chain/node-binary/tree/master/cli.
   • (1.2) Create several BNB accounts from console:

     ./tbnbcli keys add test_account1
     ./tbnbcli keys add test_account2
     ./tbnbcli keys add test_account3
     

   • (1.3) Register on the Binance site and fund the accounts from the testnet faucet.
   • (1.4) Re-arrange funds on the accounts as so the first account will have 550 BNB and others 10-20 BNBs to make transactions.

     ./tbnbcli send --from test_account2 --to <address of the first account> --amount 18500000000:BNB --chain-id=Binance-Chain-Nile --node=data-seed-pre-2-s1.binance.org:80 --memo "Test transfer"
     ./tbnbcli send --from test_account3 --to <address of the first account> --amount 18500000000:BNB --chain-id=Binance-Chain-Nile --node=data-seed-pre-2-s1.binance.org:80 --memo "Test transfer"
     

   • (1.5) Issue the BEP2 token from the first account

     ./tbnbcli token issue --token-name "ERC20toBEP2Bridge" --total-supply 3141500000000000 --symbol ETB0819 --from test1 --chain-id=Binance-Chain-Nile --node=data-seed-pre-2-s1.binance.org:80 --trust-node
     

   • (1.6) Get the BEP2 token ID in denom field.

     ./tbnbcli account tbnb1ack8qtpd5mm5wrjw0ajg8zpdnplw4qzeg5uuza --chain-id=Binance-Chain-Nile --node=data-seed-pre-2-s1.binance.org:80 --trust-node
     

   • (1.7) Clone the repo and initialize git submodules:

     git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/k1rill-fedoseev/eth-to-bnc-bridge.git
     

   • (1.8) Build TSS to be used in the bridge oracles:

     docker build -t tss -f ./src/tss/Dockerfile-local ./src/tss
     

2. Run test environment. (home and side ganache-cli blockchains, contracts deployment) ./demo/start-environment.sh
3. Run three validators in separate terminal sessions.
   N=1 ./demo/validator-demo.sh
N=2 ./demo/validator-demo.sh
N=3 ./demo/validator-demo.sh

Interacting with validators, sending votes, retrieving bridge information

• For each validator, a specific port is mapped outside of the docker container for listening GET requests
  • 5001 - first validator
  • 5002 - second validator
  • 5003 - third validator
• Retrieving bridge state
  • http://localhost:5001/info
• Voting for bridge state changes
  • http://localhost:5001/vote/startKeygen
    • After enough votes are collected, keygen process starts, and ends with the transfer of all remained funds in the Binance Chain to the new generated bridge account.
  • http://localhost:5001/vote/addValidator/ADDRESS
    • ADDRESS - Ethereum address of a validator.
    • After enough votes are collected, validator is added into the next validators list for the next epoch.
  • http://localhost:5001/vote/addValidator/ADDRESS
    • ADDRESS - Ethereum address of a validator.
    • After enough votes are collected, validator is removed from the next validators list for the next epoch.

Testing tools for both sides of the bridge

In this tools, run.sh file simply builds and runs a docker container for interacting with test blockchains.

• ./src/test-services/binanceSend/run.sh TO TOKENS NATIVE
  • Sends specified amount of tokens and BNBs to the bridge account.
  • TO - receiver address in the Binance Chain.
  • TOKENS - amount of tokens to send.
  • NATIVE - amount of BNB tokens to send, if present, the transaction is considered as a funding one.
• ./src/test-services/ethereumSend/run.sh TOKENS
  • Transfers specified amount of tokens to the bridge account.
  • VALUE - amount of tokens to transfer and exchange.
• ./src/test-services/binanceBalance/run.sh ADDRESS
  • Gets current BEP2 token and BNB balances of the specified account.
  • ADDRESS - account address in the Binance Chain.
• ./src/test-services/ethereumBalance/run.sh ADDRESS
  • Gets current ERC20 token balance of the specified account.
  • ADDRESS - Ethereum address of the account.
