v1.0.0

prepared for the launch of Exocore Testnet v3

Features

Bootstrap

contract that handles the bootstrap process of Exocore network with assets staked on EVM-compatible chains like Ethereum and validators being registered in contract.

• staker deposits ERC20 token
• staker withdraws principle balance of ERC20 token
• staker registers as operator
• staker delegates/undelegates to/from operator
• mark as bootstrapped with a message from Exocore and upgrade it to ClientChainGateway after spawn time
• Ethereum native restaking deposit before Exocore chain was spawned and Bootstrap got upgraded
• Ethereum native restaking withdrawal before Exocore chain was spawned and Bootstrap got upgraded
• Ethereum native restaking updateBalance before Exocore chain was spawned and Bootstrap got upgraded

ClientChainGateway

contract that has the most of the user-facing functions and is also an omni-chain application that communicates with Exocore with cross-chain messages(requests&response). ClientChainGateway behaves like Bootstrap in many aspects except for:

1. ClientChainGateway exists after the Exocore chain is spawned, at which time Bootstrap should stop work, thus Bootstrap should be upgraded to ClientChainGateway to continue working as the entrypoint of Exocore protocol to support staking operations.
2. ClientChainGateway would forward most requests like deposit, withdraw, delegate/undelegate to Exocore to be handled and account for balance change on Exocore chain, while Bootstrap handles these requests locally and store balances in local contract storage.

• storage consistency with Bootstrap
• staker deposits ERC20 token to Exocore
• staker withdraw principle/reward ERC20 token from Exocore to client chain and unlock the corresponding amount of assets
• staker claim unlocked assets after withdrawal
• staker delegates/undelegates to/from operator
• Ethereum native restaking deposit to Exocore after Exocore chain is spawned and Bootstrap gets upgraded
• Ethereum native restaking withdrawal from Exocore after Exocore chain is spawned and Bootstrap gets upgraded
• Ethereum beacon chain balance update after Exocore chain is spawned and Bootstrap gets upgraded(this would be implemented by using Exocore oracle instead of by client chain contracts)
