The library simplifies development of dApps that interact with smart contracts in SKALE infrastructure.
- resolving of addresses of SKALE contracts on different networks
- providing up to date ABI for SKALE contracts (they may change over time due to upgradeable nature of some contracts)
- the library does not depend on any library for interaction with Ethereum (like ethers or web3)
- there are child packages that support:
- ethers v5
- ethers v6
yarn add @skalenetwork/skale-contractsMain abstractions used by the library is provided below:
Represents blockchain where smart contracts are deployed.
It could be Ethereum mainnet, goerli, SKALE chain or similar ethereum compatible chains
SKALE smart contracts grouped into projects to serve particular purpose.
Examples of projects are IMA, skale-manager or etherbase.
An instance is a particular project deployed to a particular network.
For example IMA on Ethereum mainnet or etherbase on some of SKALE chains.
An alias is a textual name of an instance.
The object that performs interaction with Ethereum network.
The library provides master object skaleContracts.
This object is used to provide desired network, project and instance using it's alias or direct address.
To get network an implementation of abstract class Adapter has to be provided.
When target instance is received it can be queried for information (address, ABI or Contract object) about a particular contract by it's name.
