Welcome,

Bifrost is a Web3 derivatives protocol that provides decentralized cross-chain liquidity for staked assets. By leveraging on the cross-consensus message (XCM) it can provide cross-chain liquid staking services for multiple chains.

Our mission is to provide standardized cross-chain interest-bearing derivatives for Polkadot relay chains, parachains, and heterogeneous chains bridged with Polkadot.

👉 Discover the Bifrost at bifrost.finance.
👉 Learn to use the Bifrost with our wiki.

Testing

make test-all

Generate runtime weights

if runtime logic change we may do the benchmarking to regenerate WeightInfo for dispatch calls

Testing runtime migration

If modify the storage, should test the data migration before production upgrade.

# bifrost kusama
make try-kusama-runtime-upgrade

# bifrost polkadot
make try-polkadot-runtime-upgrade

Run development chain

make run-dev

Run local testnet with polkadot-launch

Install polkadot-launch

yarn global add polkadot-launch
cd -

Build polkadot

# replace version with your target polkadot version
cargo install --git https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot --tag <version> polkadot --locked

Launch Polkadot and the parachain

cd -
polkadot-launch ./scripts/bifrost-launch.json

It will take about 1-2 minutes for the parachain to start producing blocks.

Run local testnet with parachain-launch

Install parachain-launch

yarn global add @open-web3/parachain-launch

Generate docker files

parachain-launch generate --config=scripts/bifrost-docker-launch.yml --yes

It will pull images and generate required docker files in a folder called output in your current working directory

Start relaychain and parachain

To start the nodes, navigate to the output folder that the generated docker scripts in and start containers:

cd ./output
docker-compose up -d --build

Run full node

Create bifrost-fullnode directory, generate node-key and get bifrost.json

mkdir -p ~/node-key
subkey generate-node-key --file ~/node-key/bifrost.key

Start full node

Replace your-fullnode-name

docker pull bifrostnetwork/bifrost:latest
docker run -d \
-v ~/node-key:/node-key \
-p 9944:9944 \
-p 9933:9933 \
-p 30333:30333 \
bifrostnetwork/bifrost:latest \
  --name your-fullnode-name \
  --base-path "/data" \
  --node-key-file "/node-key/bifrost.key" \
