Build your own network and send cross-chain transactions

1. Running atlas

Going atlas -h can get help infos.

2. Deploy contract to ethereum and atlas

(1). Deploy USDT

(2). Deploy MapERC20

The constructor of this contract receives 3 parameters namely name, symbol and tokenBinding. specify name and symbol assign the USDT contract address obtained in the previous step to tokenBinding

(3). Deploy MapRouter

The constructor of this contract receives 2 parameters, mpcAddress and verify. mpcAddress is the address of the relayer that listen and verifies cross-chain transactions. This will be described in detail below. assign the TxVerify contract address to verify

(4). Set Authentication

Call the setAuth method of the MapERC20 contract and pass in the address of the MapRouter contract to add authentication so that the MapRouter contract can call the MapERC20 contract。

3. Send cross chain transactions on the ethereum

Call the swapOut method of the MapRouter contract to send a cross chain transaction. The swapOut method receives four parameters, namely token, to, amount, toChainID. token: token contract address, here can be MapERC20 contract address, to: the address of the recipient of the transaction, amount: transaction amount, toChainId: the target chain of cross-chain transactions, see supported chain list.

4. Register as a relayer and synchronize the block header to atlas

Atlas uses light client verification to verify on-chain transactions on the opposite chain to achieve the purpose of cross-chain transaction data (assets). So this requires you to synchronize the block header to atlas to achieve cross-chain transaction verification.

For how to register as a relayer and synchronize the block header, please refer to the document linked below.

Sync Block Header

5. Listen cross chain transaction events and verify transactions

In this step, you need to implement a simple program to listen cross-chain transaction events on ethereum. When cross-chain transactions are monitored, cross-chain transaction verification data needs to be constructed, and then the sawpIn method of the MapRouter contract deployed on atlas is mobilized. The sawpIn method will call the pre-compiled contract of atlas to verify whether the cross-chain transaction exists and is legal. If the verification is passed, the transfer amount will be sent to the recipient of the cross-chain transaction.

How to construct cross-chain transaction verification data

6. Query whether the cross-chain transaction has arrived

After the above steps, you have completed a cross-chain transaction. Now let's verify whether the transaction amount has arrived. To check the balance of the account, we can call the balanceOf of the MapERC20 contract deployed on atlas.

Use our existing network to send cross-chain transactions

Atlas address:

network address chainid networkid
mainnet https://rpc-poc-1.maplabs.io 177 177

Contract address:

contract address
Atlas MapRouter 0xC8EBb59E097148399D67601038a6c6Aaa6416aF9
Ropsten MapRouter 0x23dd5A89C3ea51601b0674a4fA6eC6B3B14d0B7a

Now that we have deployed a cross-chain transaction contract on Ropsten, you can directly call. Let's take a look at how to send a cross-chain transaction in Ropsten.

The address of the MapRouter contract on the Ropsten testnet is 0x23dd5A89C3ea51601b0674a4fA6eC6B3B14d0B7a. Using this address, you can use the remix or Go program to call sawpOut to send cross-chain transactions. After sending a cross-chain transaction, you do not need to synchronize block headers, monitor cross-chain events, verify cross-chain transactions, etc., just wait for the transaction amount to arrive. The premise is that cross-chain transactions exist and are legal.

The Atlas main network address is https://rpc-poc-1.maplabs.io, and the address of the MapERC20 contract deployed on Atlas is 0xC8EBb59E097148399D67601038a6c6Aaa6416aF9. Using the above address, you can use the remix or Go program to call the balanceOf of the MapERC20 contract to check the balance.
