Developer Setup

Ocean Protocol uses Foundry for smart contract development with a comprehensive testing and deployment framework.

Prerequisites

Core Requirements

• Foundry: Latest version for contract compilation and testing

• Node.js: v18+ for tooling and scripts

• Git: For repository management

• Code Editor: VS Code with Solidity extensions recommended

Optional Tools

• bun: Fast package manager and script runner

• Docker: For containerized development

• Hardhat: Alternative testing framework (if needed)

Environment Setup

1. Clone Repository

git clone https://github.com/ocean-finance/ocean-contract.git
cd ocean-contract

2. Install Dependencies

# Install Foundry dependencies
forge install

# Install Node.js dependencies (if using bun)
bun install
# OR with npm
npm install

3. Environment Configuration

# Copy environment template
cp .env.example .env

# Configure required variables
MNEMONIC="your bip39 mnemonic phrase"
ETHERSCAN_API_KEY="your etherscan api key"
ALCHEMY_API_KEY="your alchemy api key"

Development Commands

Contract Development

# Compile all contracts
forge build

# Clean build artifacts
forge clean

# Format Solidity code
forge fmt

# Check Solidity style
forge fmt --check

Testing Framework

# Run all tests
forge test

# Run tests with gas reporting
forge test --gas-report

# Run specific test file
forge test --match-path test/unit/BaseHandler.t.sol

# Run tests with verbosity
forge test -vvv

# Generate coverage report
forge coverage

# HTML coverage report (with bun)
bun run test:coverage:report

Linting and Quality

# Lint Solidity files
bun run lint

# Fix linting issues
bun run lint:fix

# Run security analysis
slither .

# Static analysis
mythril analyze contracts/

Testing Strategies

Unit Testing

# Test individual contract functions
forge test --match-path test/unit/

# Test specific function
forge test --match-test testStakeUsds

Integration Testing

# Test cross-contract interactions
forge test --match-path test/integration/

# Test handler integration with StrategyAllocator
forge test --match-test testHandlerIntegration

Fork Testing

# Test against mainnet fork
forge test --fork-url https://eth-mainnet.alchemyapi.io/v2/$ALCHEMY_API_KEY

# Test specific handler against live protocols
forge test --match-path test/fork/EthenaHandler.t.sol --fork-url $MAINNET_RPC

Deployment

Local Development

# Start local Anvil node
anvil

# Deploy to local network
forge script script/Deploy.s.sol --broadcast --fork-url http://localhost:8545

Testnet Deployment

# Deploy to Sepolia
forge script script/Deploy.s.sol \
  --broadcast \
  --verify \
  --fork-url https://sepolia.infura.io/v3/$INFURA_KEY \
  --etherscan-api-key $ETHERSCAN_API_KEY

Mainnet Deployment

# Deploy to Ethereum mainnet
forge script script/Deploy.s.sol \
  --broadcast \
  --verify \
  --fork-url https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/$INFURA_KEY \
  --etherscan-api-key $ETHERSCAN_API_KEY \
  --gas-estimate-multiplier 120

Debugging and Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. Compilation Errors

   # Clear cache and rebuild
   forge clean && forge build

2. Test Failures

   # Run with maximum verbosity
   forge test -vvvv --match-test testFailingFunction

3. Gas Optimization

   # Generate gas report
   forge test --gas-report > gas-report.txt

Development Tools

• Foundry Debugger: Step-through debugging for failed transactions

• Trace Analysis: Detailed execution traces for complex transactions

• Storage Layout: Analyze contract storage for optimization

Best Practices

Code Quality

• Follow Ocean's coding standards

• Use consistent naming conventions

• Implement comprehensive error handling

• Add detailed natspec documentation

Security

• Always inherit from BaseHandler for handlers

• Use OpenZeppelin's security libraries

• Implement proper access controls

• Add reentrancy protection where needed

Testing

• Aim for >95% test coverage

• Test both success and failure cases

• Include edge case testing

• Use fuzz testing for parameter validation

Gas Optimization

• Use efficient data structures

• Minimize external calls

• Batch operations when possible

• Profile gas usage regularly

Contributing

Pull Request Process

1. Fork the repository

2. Create feature branch

3. Implement changes with tests

4. Ensure all tests pass

5. Submit pull request with description

Code Review Requirements

• All tests must pass

• Code coverage must be maintained

• Security review for handler changes

• Documentation updates where needed

This development environment provides everything needed to build, test, and deploy Ocean Protocol contracts and handlers efficiently.
