RareRedirect

RareRedirect is an experiment that allows users to decide where a website should redirect based on whether they are willing to pay more than the previous redirect purchaser. The contract is very simple. None of the code is audited, so proceed at your own risk. If you notice any bugs or have suggestions for improvements, please open an issue. I'm always open to feedback.

Validation for URL correctness occurs on the frontend site. The current site to implement this experiment is janetyellen.com.

Development

Install dependencies

npm i

Build Contracts and Generate Typechain Typeings

npm run compile

Run Contract Tests & Get Callstacks

In one terminal run npx hardhat node

Then in another run npm run test

Notes:

• The gas usage table may be incomplete (the gas report currently needs to run with the --network localhost flag; see below).

Run Contract Tests and Generate Gas Usage Report

In one terminal run npx hardhat node

Then in another run npm run test -- --network localhost

Notes:

• When running with this localhost option, you get a gas report but may not get good callstacks
• See here for how to configure the gas usage report.

Run Coverage Report for Tests

npm run coverage

Notes:

• running a coverage report currently deletes artifacts, so after each coverage run you will then need to run npx hardhat clean followed by npm run build before re-running tests

Deploy to Ethereum

Create/modify network config in hardhat.config.ts and add API key and private key, then run:

npx hardhat run --network <NETWORK> scripts/deploy.ts

Verify on Etherscan

Using the hardhat-etherscan plugin, add Etherscan API key to hardhat.config.ts, then run:

npx hardhat verify --network <NETWORK> <DEPLOYED ADDRESS>
