Deploy ERC20 to ERC677 AMB bridge extension

How to deploy an erc20-to-erc20 Arbitrary Message Bridge extension

Instructions for deploying bridge mediator contracts on top of the Arbitrary Message Bridge (AMB) between the Ethereum Mainnet and the xDai chain.

An AMB bridge extension is a pair of mediator contracts associated with a specific pair of Arbitrary Message Bridge contracts.

The steps below assume you will use an existing ERC20 or an ERC677/827 token on Ethereum when creating the new ERC677 token contract on xDai. The AMB mediator will have rights to mint new tokens for any request to relay tokens through this AMB extension. More details about the extension internals are available here: "How to develop a cross-blockchain application using the AMB".

The mediators developed by the TokenBridge team will be used during deployment. If customizations are required for the mediators, additional steps will be needed to prepare the docker image with modified contracts.

Prerequisites

The following pre-requisites are required to deploy the AMB extension:

The private key of an account used to deploy the contracts. The account must be funded before performing the deployment steps.
An account address that will be given rights to update the extension parameters. Different accounts may be used for different chains.
An account address that will be given rights to upgrade the extension contracts. Different accounts may be used for different chains.
A JSON RPC url to send deployment transaction to the Ethereum Mainnet. URL provided by INFURA with the API key can be used here.
The existing Ethereum ERC20/ERC677/ERC827 token contract address.
The Etherscan API key which allows contracts to be verified automatically during the deployment process.

Instructions

Pull the docker image containing the compiled contracts and deployment script.

 docker pull poanetwork/tokenbridge-contracts:latest

Prepare a configuration file (e.g. erc-to-erc.config) which specifies the deployment process parameters and the initial extension configuration:

 # The type of bridge. Defines set of contracts to be deployed.
 BRIDGE_MODE=AMB_ERC_TO_ERC

 # The private key hex value of the account responsible for contracts
 # deployments and initial configuration. The account's balance must contain
 # funds from both networks.

Run the deployment process by specifying the path to the configuration file:

 docker run -ti --rm --env-file erc-to-erc.config \
     poanetwork/tokenbridge-contracts:latest deploy.sh

Output will look similar to this:

 {
     "homeBridge": {
         "homeBridgeMediator": {
             "address": "0xFaD73D79952041332554e11d896F430a2ecA1Fa8"
         },
         "bridgeableErc677": {
             "address": "0xAFb605e4463D1326249075b3367A3353DeA34a6D"
         }
     },
     "foreignBridge": {
         "foreignBridgeMediator": {
             "address": "0x1a2546B27293e127fF9a3d0D71A43Dd3733fa1F7"
         }
     }
 }

Check on Etherscan and BlockScout that the contracts with addresses listed above are verified. Mark the mediator contract on the Ethereum Mainnet side as a proxy contract in Etherscan so you can read the extension parameters here.

Verify that tokens can be transferred in both directions through the bridge. See the the sUSD bridge AMB extension for an example process.
