Getting Started

What is the DARC Protocol?

Building the source

Since Hardhat and OpenZeppelin are used, the project can be built using the following commands:

1. Install dependencies

   We recommend that you use pnpm instead of npm, but npm can also work.

   pnpm is a newer package manager that has some advantages over npm. It is faster, more efficient, and disk-space friendly.

   cd darc-protocol
   npm install

2. Compile the contracts

   npx hardhat compile

3. Host a local devnet node with hardhat configuration:

   npx hardhat node

4. Test contracts

   REPORT_GAS=true npx hardhat test --network localhost

Deploy

To deploy the DARC protocol, you can use the following commands:

npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network <YOUR_NETWORK>

If you want to deploy the DARC protocol to the local devnet, you can use the following command:

npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network localhost

Make sure you have a local devnet node running before deploying the DARC protocol.

If you want to deploy the DARC protocol to the Ethereum mainnet, you can use the following command:

npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network mainnet
