Overview¶
1. Project Repository¶
Github Url: https://github.com/stabilaprotocol
java-stabila is the source code of the MainNet.
protocol is the definition of the api and data structure.
wallet-cli is the official command line wallet.
MainNet Configuration: https://github.com/stabilaprotocol/StabilaDeployment/blob/master/main_net_config.conf
2. GOVs and Committee¶
2.1 How to Become a Governor¶
In STABILA network, any account can apply to become a governor candidate. Every account can vote for executives. The top 21 candidates with the most votes are Governors. Governors can produce blocks. The votes will be counted every 6 hours, so governors may also change every 6 hours.
To prevent vicious attack, STABILA network burns 9999 STB from the account that applies to become a governor candidate.
2.2 Governors Election¶
To vote, you need to have STABILA Power(SP). To get STABILA Power, you need to stake STB. Every 1 staked STB accounts for one STABILA Power(SP). Every account in STABILA network has the right to vote for a governor candidate. After you unstake your staked STB, you will lose the responding STABILA Power(SP), so your previous vote will be invalid.
Note: Only your latest vote will be counted in STABILA network which means your previous vote will be over written by your latest vote.
Example (Using wallet-cli):
cdbalance 10,000,000 3 // stake 10 STB to get 10 STABILA Power(SP) voteexecutive executive1 4 executive2 6 // Vote 4 votes for executive1, 6 votes for executive2 voteexecutive executive1 3 executive2 7 // Vote 3 votes for executive1, 7 votes for executive2
The final output above is: Vote 3 votes for executive1, 7 votes for executive2
2.3 Reward for Governors¶
The top 21 Executives (Gs) that are elected every round (6 hours) will divide around 1,596 STB as mined, also known as Governor Reward. The prize will be distributed evenly among the 21 Gs.
Total reward per round = 221,714 Unit/block x 20 block/min x 60 mins/hr x 6 hrs/round .
A total of 2,330,657 STB will be awarded annually to the 21 Gs. It should be noted that every two years the reward for mining Stabila is halved.
2.4 Committee¶
2.4.1 What is Committee¶
Committee can modify the STABILA network parameters, like transaction fees, block producing reward amount, etc. Committee is composed of the current 21 governors. Every governor has the right to start a proposal. The proposal will be passed after it gets more than 15 approves from the governors and will become valid in the next maintenance period.
2.4.2 Create a Proposal¶
Only the account of a governor can create a proposal. The network parameters can be modified([min,max]):

Note: In STABILA network, 1 STB = 1000_000 UNIT
2.4.3 Vote for a Proposal¶
Proposal only support YES vote. Since the creation time of the proposal, the proposal is valid within 3 days. If the proposal does not receive enough YES votes within the period of validity, the proposal will be invalid beyond the period of validity. Yes vote can be cancelled.
Example (Using wallet-cli):
approveProposal id is_or_not_add_approval id: proposal id is_or_not_add_approval: YES vote or cancel YES vote
2.4.4 Cancel Proposal¶
Proposal creator can cancel the proposal before it is passed.
Example (Using wallet-cli):
deleteProposal id id: proposal id
2.4.5 Query Proposal¶
- Query all the proposals list (ListProposals)
- Query all the proposals list by pagination (GetPaginatedProposalList)
- Query a proposal by proposal id (GetProposalById)
For more api detail, please refer to Stabila HTTP API
3. Account Model¶
3.1 Introduction¶
STABILA uses account model. An account's identity is address, it needs private key signature to operate an account. An account has many attributes, like STB balance, tokens balance, bandwidth, etc. STB and tokens can be transferred from account to account and it costs bandwidth. An account can also issue a smart contract, apply to become a governor candidate, vote, etc. All STABILA's activities are based on account.
3.2 How to Create an Account¶
1. Use a wallet to generate the address and private key. To activate the account, you need to transfer STB or transfer token to the new created account.
2. Use an account already existed in STABILA network to create an account
3.3 Key-pair Generation Algorithm¶
Stabila signature algorithm is ECDSA, curve used is SECP256K1. Private key is a random bumber, public key is a point in the elliptic curve. The process is: first generate a random number d to be the private key, then calculate P = d * G as the public key, G is the elliptic curve base point.
3.4 Address Format¶
Use the public key P as the input, by SHA3 get the result H. The length of the public key is 64 bytes, SHA3 uses Keccak256. Use the last 20 bytes of H, and add a byte of 0x3f in front of it, then the address comes out. Do basecheck to address, here is the final address. All addresses start with 'S'.
basecheck process: first do sha256 calculation to address to get h1, then do sha256 to h1 to get h2, use the first 4 bytes as check to add it to the end of the address to get address||check, do base58 encode to address||check to get the final result.
Character map: ALPHABET = "123456789ABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyz"
3.5 Signature¶
3.5.1 Signing Steps for GRPC¶
- Convert the transaction’s raw data to byte[].
- Hash the raw data using sha256. This gives you the Transaction ID.
- Sign the results of sha256 with the private key.
- Add the signed result to transaction.
3.5.2 Signing Steps¶
- Use the transaction ID included in the return data of an http request.
- Sign the transaction ID with the private key.
- Add the signed result to transaction.
3.5.3 Signature algorithm¶
-
ECDSA algorithm, SECP256K.
-
Example of signature data
priKey:::8e812436a0e3323166e1f0e8ba79e19e217b2c4a53c970d4cca0cfb1078979df pubKey::04a5bb3b28466f578e6e93fbfd5f75cee1ae86033aa4bbea690e3312c087181eb366f9a1d1d6a437a9bf9fc65ec853b9fd60fa322be3997c47144eb20da658b3d1 hash:::159817a085f113d099d3d93c051410e9bfe043cc5c20e43aa9a083bf73660145 r:::38b7dac5ee932ac1bf2bc62c05b792cd93c3b4af61dc02dbb4b93dacb758123f s:::08bf123eabe77480787d664ca280dc1f20d9205725320658c39c6c143fd5642d v:::0 Note: the signed result should be 65 byte in size—r 32 bytes, s 32 bytes and v 1 byte.
- Signature verification
When a full node receives the transaction, it will verify the signature, comparing an address calculated with hash, r, s and v with the address of the contract. Signature is successfully verified if the two addresses match.
3.5.4 Example of code¶
public static Transaction sign(Transaction transaction, ECKey myKey) { Transaction.Builder transactionBuilderSigned = transaction.toBuilder(); byte[] hash = sha256(transaction.getRawData().toByteArray()); List<Contract> listContract = transaction.getRawData().getContractList(); for (int i = 0; i < listContract.size(); i++) { ECDSASignature signature = myKey.sign(hash); ByteString bsSign = ByteString.copyFrom(signature.toByteArray()); //Each contract may be signed with a different private key in the future. transactionBuilderSigned.addSignature( bsSign ); }
4. Network Node¶
4.1 Governor¶
4.1.1 Governor Introduction¶
Governor(abbr: GOV) is the block producer in STABILA network, there are 21 GOV. They verify the transactions and write the transactions into the blocks, they take turns to produce blocks. The governors' information is public to everyone in STABILA network. The best way to browse is using stabilascan.
4.1.2 Governor Deployment¶
4.1.3 Recommended Hardware Configuration¶
minimum requirement: CPU: 16 cores, RAM: 32G, Bandwidth: 100M, Disk: 1T
Recommended requirement: CPU: > 64 cores RAM: > 64G, Bandwidth: > 500M, Disk: > 20T
4.2 FullNode¶
4.2.1 FullNode Introduction¶
FullNode has the complete block chain data, can update data in real time. It can broadcast the transactions and provide api service.
4.2.2 FullNode Deployment¶
For Docker installation and deployment please refer to STABILA-Deployment
4.2.3 Recommended Hardware Configuration¶
Minimum requirement: CPU: 16 cores, RAM: 32G, Bandwidth: 100M, Disk: 1T Recommended requirement: CPU: > 64 cores RAM: > 64G, Bandwidth: > 500M, Disk: > 20T
4.3 STABILA Network Instructure¶
STABILA network uses Peer-to-Peer(P2P) network instructure, all nodes status equal. There are two types of node: Governor and FullNode. Governor produces blocks, FullNode synchronizes blocks and broadcasts transactions. Any device that deploy the java-stabila code can join STABILA network as a node.
4.4 MainNet¶
4.4.1 FullNode Deployment¶
1. Download main_net_config.conf
wget https://github.com/stabilaprotocol/stabila-deployment/blob/master/main_net_config.conf
2. set seed.node ip.list with GOV's ip and port
3. set p2p.version the same as Governor's p2p.version
4. set genesis.block the same as genesis.block
5. set needSyncCheck true
6. set node.discovery.enable true
7. run the script
nohup java -Xmx6g -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -jar FullNode.jar -c main_net_config.conf
command lines parameters
--log-config: specify the log configuration file path, i.e.: --log-config logback.xml
-c: specify the configuration file path, i.e.: -c config.conf
The usage of the log file:
You can change the level of the module to control the log output. The default level of each module is INFO, for example: only print the message with the level higher than warn:
p2p.version:
genesis.block:
needSyncCheck:
node.discovery.enable:
4.5 DB Engine¶
4.5.1 Rocksdb¶
4.5.1.1 Configuration
Use rocksdb as the data storage engine, need to set db.engine to "ROCKSDB"
Note: rocksdb only support db.version=2, do not support db.version=1
The optimization parameters rocksdb support:
4.6.1.2 Use rocksdb's data backup function
Choose rocksdb to be the data storage engine, you can use it's data backup function while running
Note: FullNode can use data backup function. In order not to affect Governor's block producing performance, Governor does not support backup service, but Governor's backup service node can use this function.
4.6.1.3 Convert leveldb data to rocksdb data
The data storage structure of leveldb and rocksdb is not compatible, please make sure the node use the same type of data engine all the time. We provide data conversion script which can convert leveldb data to rocksdb data.
Usage:
cd to the source code root directory ./gradlew build #build the source code java -jar build/libs/DBConvert.jar #run data conversion command
Note: If the node's data storage directory is self-defined, before run DBConvert.jar, you need to add the following parameters:
src_db_path: specify LevelDB source directory, default output-directory/database dst_db_path: specify RocksDb source directory, default output-directory-dst/database
Example, if you run the script like this:
nohup java -jar FullNode.jar -d your_database_dir &
Then, you should run DBConvert.jar this way:
java -jar build/libs/DBConvert.jar your_database_dir/database output-directory-dst/database
Note: You have to stop the running of the node, and then to run the data conversion script.
If you do not want to stop the running of the node for too long, after node is shut down, you can copy leveldb's output-directory to the new directory, and then restart the node. Run DBConvert.jar in the previous directory of the new directory, and specify the parameters: src_db_path
and dst_db_path
.
Example:
cp -rf output-directory /tmp/output-directory cd /tmp java -jar DBConvert.jar output-directory/database output-directory-dst/database
All the whole data conversion process may take 10 hours.
4.5.1.4 rocksdb vs leveldb
5. Smart Contract¶
5.1 STABILA Smart Contract Introduction¶
Smart contract is a computerized transaction protocol that automatically implements its terms. Smart contract is the same as common contract, they all define the terms and rules related to the participants. Once the contract is started, it can run in the way it is designed.
STABILA smart contract support Solidity language in (Ethereum). Currently recommend Solidity language version is 0.8.0. Write a smart contract, then build the smart contract and deploy it to STABILA network. When the smart contract is triggered, the corresponding function will be executed automatically.
5.2 STABILA Smart Contract Features¶
STABILA virtual machine is based on Ethereum solidity language, it also has STABILA's own features.
5.2.1 Smart Contract¶
STABILA VM is compatible with Ethereum's smart contract, using protobuf to define the content of the contract:
message SmartContract { message ABI { message Entry { enum EntryType { UnknownEntryType = 0; Constructor = 1; Function = 2; Event = 3; Fallback = 4; } message Param { bool indexed = 1; string name = 2; string type = 3; // SolidityType type = 3; } enum StateMutabilityType { UnknownMutabilityType = 0; Pure = 1; View = 2; Nonpayable = 3; Payable = 4; } bool anonymous = 1; bool constant = 2; string name = 3; repeated Param inputs = 4; repeated Param outputs = 5; EntryType type = 6; bool payable = 7; StateMutabilityType stateMutability = 8; } repeated Entry entrys = 1; } bytes origin_address = 1; bytes contract_address = 2; ABI abi = 3; bytes bytecode = 4; int64 call_value = 5; int64 consume_user_resource_percent = 6; string name = 7; int64 origin_ucr_limit = 8; }
origin_address: smart contract creator address
contract_address: smart contract address
abi: the api information of the all the function of the smart contract bytecode: smart contract byte code
call_value: STB transferred into smart contract while call the contract consume_user_resource_percent: resource consumption percentage set by the developer
name: smart contract name
origin_ucr_limit: ucr consumption of the developer limit in one call, must greater than 0. For the old contracts, if this parameter is not set, it will be set 0, developer can use updateUcrLimit api to update this parameter (must greater than 0)
Through other two grpc message types CreateSmartContract and TriggerSmartContract to create and use smart contracts.
5.2.2 The Usage of the Function of Smart Contract¶
1. constant function and inconstant function
There are two types of function according to whether any change will be made to the properties on the chain: constant function and inconstant function Constant function uses view/pure/constant to decorate, will return the result on the node it is called and not be broadcasted in the form of a transaction Inconstant function will be broadcasted in the form of a transaction while being called, the function will change the data on the chain, such as transfer, changing the value of the internal variables of contracts, etc.
Note: If you use create command inside a contract (CREATE instruction), even use view/pure/constant to decorate the dynamically created contract function, this function will still be treated as inconstant function, be dealt in the form of transaction.
2. message calls
Message calls can call the functions of other contracts, also can transfer STB to the accounts of contract and none-contract. Like the common STABILA triggercontract, Message calls have initiator, recipient, data, transfer amount, fees and return attributes. Every message call can generate a new one recursively. Contract can define the distribution of the remaining ucr in the internal message call. If it comes with OutOfUcrException in the internal message call, it will return false, but not error. In the meanwhile, only the gas sent with the internal message call will be consumed, if ucr is not specified in call.value(ucr), all the remaining ucr will be used.
3. delegate call/call code/libary
There is a special type of message call, delegate call. The difference with common message call is the code of the target address will be run in the context of the contract that initiates the call, msg.sender and msg.value remain unchanged. This means a contract can dynamically load code from another address while running. Storage, current address and balance all point to the contract that initiates the call, only the code is get from the address being called. This gives Solidity the ability to achieve the 'lib' function: the reusable code lib can be put in the storage of a contract to implement complex data structure library.
4. CREATE command
This command will create a new contract with a new address. The only difference with Ethereum is the newly generated STABILA address used the smart contract creation transaction id and the hash of nonce called combined. Different from Ethereum, the definition of nonce is the contract sequence number of the creation of the root call. Even there are many CREATE commands calls, contract number in sequence from 1. Refer to the source code for more detail. Note: Different from creating a contract by grpc's deploycontract, contract created by CREATE command does not store contract abi.
5. built-in function and built-in function attribute (Since Odyssey-v3.1.1, SVM built-in function is not supported temporarily)
1)SVM is compatible with solidity language's transfer format, including: - accompany with constructor to call transfer - accompany with internal function to call transfer - use transfer/send/call/callcode/delegatecall to call transfer
Note: STABILA's smart contract is different from STABILA's system contract, if the transfer to address does not exist it can not create an account by smart contract transfer.
2)Different accounts vote for Governor (Since Odyssey-v3.1.1, SVM built-in function is not supported temporarily) 3)Governor gets all the reward (Since Odyssey-v3.1.1, SVM built-in function is not supported temporarily) 4)Governor approves or disapproves the proposal (Since Odyssey-v3.1.1, SVM built-in function is not supported temporarily) 5)Governor proposes a proposal (Since Odyssey-v3.1.1, SVM built-in function is not supported temporarily) 6)Governor deletes a proposal (Since Odyssey-v3.1.1, SVM built-in function is not supported temporarily) 7)STABILA byte address converts to solidity address (Since Odyssey-v3.1.1, SVM built-in function is not supported temporarily) 8)STABILA string address converts to solidity address (Since Odyssey-v3.1.1, SVM built-in function is not supported temporarily) 9)Send token to target address (Since Odyssey-v3.1.1, SVM built-in function is not supported temporarily) 10)Query token amount of target address (Since Odyssey-v3.1.1, SVM built-in function is not supported temporarily) 11)Compatible with all the built-in functions of Ethereum
Note: Ethereum's RIPEMD160 function is not recommended, because the return of STABILA is a hash result based on STABILA's sha256, not an accurate Ethereum RIPEMD160.
5.2.3 Contract Address Using in Solidity Language¶
Ethereum VM address is 20 bytes, but STABILA's VM address is 21 bytes.
1. address conversion
Need to convert STABILA's address while using in solidity (recommended):
/** * @dev convert uint256 (HexString add 0x at beginning) stabila address to solidity address type * @param stabilaAddress uint256 stabilaAddress, begin with 0x, followed by HexString * @return Solidity address type */ function convertFromStabilaInt(uint256 stabilaAddress) public view returns(address){ return address(stabilaAddress); }
This is similar with the grammar of the conversion from other types converted to address type in Ethereum.
2. address judgement
Solidity has address constant judgement, if using 21 bytes address the compiler will throw out an error, so you should use 20 bytes address, like:
function compareAddress(address stabilaAddress) public view returns (uint256){ // if (stabilaAddress == 0x3fca35b7d915458ef540ade6068dfe2f44e8fa733c) { // compile error if (stabilaAddress == 0xca35b7d915458ef540ade6068dfe2f44e8fa733c) { // right return 1; } else { return 0; } }
But if you are using wallet-cli, you can use 21 bytes address, like 0000000000000000000041ca35b7d915458ef540ade6068dfe2f44e8fa733c
3. variable assignment
Solidity has address constant assignment, if using 21 bytes address the compiler will throw out an error, so you should use 20 bytes address, like:
function assignAddress() public view { // address newAddress = 0x3fca35b7d915458ef540ade6068dfe2f44e8fa733c; // compile error address newAddress = 0xca35b7d915458ef540ade6068dfe2f44e8fa733c; // do something }
If you want to use STABILA address of string type (SLLM21wteSPs4hKjbxgmH1L6poyMjeTbHm) please refer to (2-4-7,2-4-8).
5.3 Ucr Introduction¶
Each command of smart contract consume system resource while running, we use 'Ucr' as the unit of the consumption of the resource.
5.3.1 How to Get Ucr¶
Stake STB to get ucr.
Example (Using wallet-cli):
cdBalance cded_balance cded_duration [ResourceCode:0 BANDWIDTH,1 UCR]
Stake STB to get ucr, ucr obtained = user's STB staked amount / total amount of staked STB in STABILA * 50_000_000_000.
Example:
If there are only two users, A stakes 2 STB, B stakes 2 STB the ucr they can get is: A: 25_000_000_000 and ucr_limit is 25_000_000_000 B: 25_000_000_000 and ucr_limit is 25_000_000_000 when C stakes 1 STB: the ucr they can get is: A: 20_000_000_000 and ucr_limit is 20_000_000_000 B: 20_000_000_000 and ucr_limit is 20_000_000_000 B: 10_000_000_000 and ucr_limit is 10_000_000_000
Ucr Recovery
The ucr consumed will reduce to 0 smoothly within 24 hours.
Example:
at one moment, A has used 72_000_000 Ucr if there is no continuous consumption or STB stake one hour later, the ucr consumption amount will be 72_000_000 - (72_000_000 * (60*60/60*60*24)) Ucr = 69_000_000 Ucr 24 hours later, the ucr consumption amount will be 0 Ucr
5.3.2 How to Set Fee Limit (Caller Must Read)¶
Within the scope of this section, the smart contract developer will be called "developer", the users or other contracts which call the smart contract will be called "caller"
The amount of ucr consumed while call the contract can be converted to STB or UNIT, so within the scope of this section, when refer to the consumption of the resource, there's no strict difference between Ucr, STB and UNIT, unless they are used as a number unit.
Set a rational fee limit can guarantee the smart contract execution. And if the execution of the contract cost great ucr, it will not consume too much ucr from the caller. Before you set fee limit, you need to know several conception:
1. The legal fee limit is a integer between 0 - 10^9, unit is UNIT.
2. Different smart contracts consume different amount of ucr due to their complexity. The same trigger in the same contract almost consumes the same amount fo ucr[1]. When the contract is triggered, the commands will be executed one by one and consume ucr. If it reaches the fee limit, commands will fail to be executed, and ucr is not refundable.
3. Currently fee limit only refers to the ucr converted to UNIT that will be consumed from the caller[2]. The ucr consumed by triggering contract also includes developer's share.
4. For a vicious contract, if it encounters execution timeout or bug crash, all it's ucr will be consumed.
5. Developer may undertake a proportion of ucr consumption(like 90%). But if the developer's ucr is not enough for consumption, the rest of the ucr consumption will be undertaken by caller completely. Within the fee limit range, if the caller does not have enough ucr, then it will burn equivalent amount of STB [2].
To encourage caller to trigger the contract, usually developer has enough ucr.
Example
How to estimate the fee limit:
Assume contract C's last execution consumes 18000 Ucr, so estimate the ucr consumption limit to be 20000 Ucr[3]
According to the staked STB amount and ucr conversion, assume 1 STB = 400 ucr.
When to burn STB, 1 STB = 10000 ucr[4]
Assume developer undertake 90% ucr consumption, and developer has enough ucr.
Then the way to estimate the fee limit is:
1). A = 20000 ucr * (1 STB / 400 ucr) = 50 STB = 50_000_000 UNIT, 2). B = 20000 ucr * (1 STB / 10000 ucr) = 2 STB = 2_000_000 UNIT, 3). Take the greater number of A and B, which is 50_000_000 UNIT, 4). Developer undertakes 90% ucr consumption, caller undertakes 10% ucr consumption,
So, the caller is suggested to set fee limit to 50_000_000 UNIT * 10% = 5_000_000 UNIT
Note:
[1] The ucr consumption of each execution may fluctuate slightly due to the situation of all the nodes. [2] STABILA may change this policy. [3] The estimated ucr consumption limit for the next execution should be greater than the last one. [4] 1 STB = 10^4 ucr is a fixed number for burning STB to get ucr, STABILA may change it in future.
5.3.3 Ucr Calculation (Developer Must Read)¶
1. In order to punish the vicious developer, for the abnormal contract, if the execution times out (more than 50ms) or quits due to bug (revert not included), the maximum available ucr will be deducted. If the contract runs normally or revert, only the ucr needed for the execution of the commands will be deducted.
2. Developer can set the proportion of the ucr consumption it undertakes during the execution, this proportion cna be changed later. If the developer's ucr is not enough, it will consume the caller's ucr.
3. Currently, the total ucr available when trigger a contract is composed of caller fee limit and developer's share
Note: - If the developer is not sure about whether the contract is normal, do not set caller's ucr consumption proportion to 0%, in case all developer's ucr will be deducted due to vicious execution[1]. - We recommend to set caller's ucr consumption proportion to 10% ~ 100%[2].
Example 1
A has an account with a balance of 90 STB(90000000 UNIT) and 10 STB staked for 100000 ucr.
Smart contract C set the caller ucr consumption proportion to 100% which means the caller will pay for the ucr consumption completely.
A triggers C, the fee limit set is 30000000 (unit UNIT, 30 STB)
So during this trigger the ucr A can use is from two parts: - A's ucr by staking STB; - The ucr converted from the amount of STB burning according to a fixed rate;
If fee limit is greater than the ucr obtained from staking STB, then it will burn STB to get ucr. The fixed rate is: 1 Ucr = 40 UNIT, fee limit still has (30 - 10) STB = 20 STB available, so the ucr it can keep consuming is 20 STB / 100 UNIT = 200000 ucr.
Finally, in this call, the ucr A can use is (100000 + 200000) = 300000 ucr.
If contract executes successfully without any exception, the ucr needed for the execution will be deducted. Generally, it is far more less than the amount of ucr this trigger can use.
If Assert-style error come out, it will consume the whole number of ucr set for fee limit.
Example 2
A has an account with a balance of 90 STB(90000000 UNIT) and 10 STB staked for 100000 ucr.
Smart contract C set the caller ucr consumption proportion to 40% which means the developer will pay for the rest 60% ucr consumption.
Developer D stakes 50 STB to get 500000 ucr.
A triggers C, the fee limit set is 200000000 (unit UNIT, 200 STB).
So during this trigger the ucr A can use is from three parts: - A's ucr by staking STB -- X; - The ucr converted from the amount of STB burning according to a fixed rate -- Y; If fee limit is greater than the ucr obtained from staking STB, then it will burn STB to get ucr. The fixed rate is: 1 Ucr = 40 UNIT, fee limit still has (200 - 10) STB = 190 STB available, but A only has 90 STB left, so the ucr it can keep consuming is 90 STB / 100 UNIT = 900000 ucr; - D's ucr by staking STB -- Z;
There are two situation: if (X + Y) / 40% >= Z / 60%, the ucr A can use is X + Y + Z if (X + Y) / 40% < Z / 60%, the ucr A can use is (X + Y) / 40%
If contract executes successfully without any exception, the ucr needed for the execution will be deducted. Generally, it is far more less than the amount of ucr this trigger can use.
Note: when developer create a contract, do not set consume_user_resource_percent to 0, which means developer will undertake all the ucr consumption. If Assert-style error comes out, it will consume all ucr from the developer itsef.
To avoid unnecessary lost, 10 - 100 is recommended for consume_user_resource_percent.
5.4 Smart Contract Development Tool¶
Start a 21
Make sure the fullnode code has been deployed locally, you can check if 'Produce block successfully' log appears in FullNode/logs/stabila.log
Write your first smart contract
pragma solidity <=0.8.0; contract DataStore {
mapping(uint256 => uint256) data; function set(uint256 key, uint256 value) public { data[key] = value; } function get(uint256 key) view public returns (uint256 value) { value = data[key]; }
}

get the contract address
Your smart contract address will be: <contract address> # in this example Your smart contract address will be: STWq4vMEYB2yibAbPV7gQ4mrqTyX92fha6
call the contract to store data, query data
Shell # call contract command triggercontract <contract_address> <method> <args> <is_hex> <fee_limit> <value> # parameters contract_address: Contract address, like STWq4vMEYB2yibAbPV7gQ4mrqTyX92fha6 method: The method called, like set(uint256,uint256) or fool(), use ',' to split the parameters.

Do not leave space between parameters is_hex: whether the input parameters is Hex, false or true fee_limit: The STB consumption limit for the trigger, unit is UNIT(1 UNIT = 10^-6 STB) value: The amount of STB transfer to the contract when trigger # trigger example ## set mapping 1->1 triggercontract STWq4vMEYB2yibAbPV7gQ4mrqTyX92fha6 set(uint256,uint256) 1,1 false 1000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 ## get mapping key = 1 triggercontract STWq4vMEYB2yibAbPV7gQ4mrqTyX92fha6 get(uint256) 1 false 1000000 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
If the function called is constant or view, wallet-cli will return the result directly. If it contains library, before deploy the contract you need to deploy the library first. After you deploy library, you can get the library address, then fill the address in library:address,library:address,...
# for instance, using remix to get the bytecode of the contract, like: 608060405234801561001057600080fd5b5061013f806100206000396000f300608060405260043610610041576000357c0100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000900463ffffffff168063f75dac5a14610046575b600080fd5b34801561005257600080fd5b5061005b610071565b6040518082815260200191505060405180910390f35b600073<b>__browser/oneLibrary.sol.Math3__________<\b>634f2be91f6040518163ffffffff167c010000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000002815260040160206040518083038186803b1580156100d357600080fd5b505af41580156100e7573d6000803e3d6000fd5b505050506040513d60208110156100fd57600080fd5b81019080805190602001909291905050509050905600a165627a7a7230582052333e136f236d95e9d0b59c4490a39e25dd3a3dcdc16285820ee0a7508eb8690029
The address of the library deployed before is: SSEJ29gnBkxQZR3oDdLdeQtQQykpVLSk54 When you deploy, you need to use browser/oneLibrary.sol.Math3:SSEJ29gnBkxQZR3oDdLdeQtQQykpVLSk54 as the parameter of deploycontract.

7. Resource Model¶
7.1 Resource Model Introduction¶
STABILA network has 4 types of resources: Bandwidth, CPU, Storage and RAM. Benefit by STABILA's exclusive RAM model, STABILA's RAM resource is almost infinite.
STABILA network imports two resource conceptions: Bandwidth points and Ucr. Bandwidth Point represents Bandwidth, Ucr represents CPU and Storage.
Note: - Ordinary transaction only consumes Bandwidth points - Smart contract related transaction not only consumes Bandwidth points, but also Ucr
7.2 Bandwidth Points¶
The transaction information is stored and transmitted in the form of byte array, Bandwidth Points consumed = the number of bytes of the transaction * Bandwidth Points rate. Currently Bandwidth Points rate = 1
Such as if the number of bytes of a transaction is 200, so this transaction consumes 200 Bandwidth Points.
Note: Due to the change of the total amount of the staked STB in the network and the self-staked STB amount, the Bandwidth Points an account possesses is not fixed.
7.2.1 How to Get Bandwidth Points¶
1. By staking STB to get Bandwidth Points, Bandwidth Points = the amount of STB self-staked / the total amount of STB staked for Bandwidth Points in the network * 43_200_000_000
2. Every account has a fixed amount of free Bandwidth Points every day, it is defined in #61 network parameter, user can check the value on stabilascan(https://stabilascan.org/representatives).
7.2.2 Bandwidth Points Consumption¶
Transactions other than queries consume Bandwidth points.
A special scenario: When transferring STB or SRC-10 tokens to an account that does not yet exist, this procedure creates the account prior to the transfer.
To create an account, a flat charge of 1 STB is required. If there are insufficient Bandwidth points obtained by STB staking, an additional 0.1 STB will be spent.
Bandwidth points consumption sequence for SRC-10 transfer:
-
Free Bandwidth points.
-
SRC-10 issuer's Bandwidth points(if possible.)
-
Bandwidth points STB staking.
-
Bandwidth points obtained by STB burning, the rate = the number of bytes of the transaction * 1_000 UNIT;
Bandwidth points consumption sequence for other transactions:
-
Free Bandwidth points.
-
Bandwidth points STB staking.
-
Bandwidth points obtained by STB burning, the rate = the number of bytes of the transaction * 1_000 UNIT;
7.2.3 Bandwidth Points Recovery¶
Every 24 hours, the amount of the usage of Bandwidth points of an account will be reset to 0.
7.3 Ucr¶
7.4 Resource Delegation¶
In STABILA network, an account can stake STB for Bandwidth or Ucr for other accounts. The primary account owns the staked STB and STABILA power, the recipient account owns the Bandwidth or Ucr. Like ordinary staking, resource delegation staking is also at least 3 days.
- Example(Using wallet-cli)
cdBalance cded_balance cded_duration [ResourceCode:0 BANDWIDTH,1 UCR] [receiverAddress] cded_balance: the amount of STB to stake (unit UNIT) cded_duration: the staking period (currently a fixed 3 days) ResourceCode: 0 for Bandwidth, 1 for Ucr receiverAddress: recipient account address
7.5 Other Fees¶
Type | Fee |
---|---|
Create a executive | 9999 STB |
Issue a SRC-10 token | 1024 STB |
Create an account | 1 STB |
Create an exchange | 1024 STB |
8. Wallet Introduction¶
8.1 wallet-cli Introduction¶
Please refer to: https://github.com/stabilaprotocol/wallet-cli/blob/master/README.md
8.2 Get Transaction ID¶
Hash.sha256(transaction.getRawData().toByteArray())
8.3 Get Block ID¶
private byte[] generateBlockId(long blockNum, byte[] blockHash) { byte[] numBytes = Longs.toByteArray(blockNum); byte[] hash = blockHash; System.arraycopy(numBytes, 0, hash, 0, 8); return hash; }
8.4 How to Build a Transaction Locally¶
According to the definition of the transaction, you need to fill up all the fields of the transaction.
You need to set reference block and expiration time information, so you need to connect to the Mainnet. We recommend to use the latest block on fullnode as the value of reference block, use the latest block time plus N minutes as the value of expiration time.
The network judgment condition is if (expiration > latest block time and expiration < latest block time + 24 hours) means the transaction is in period of validity. Otherwise, it will be an overdue transaction, will not be accepted by the Mainnet.
Way to set reference block: set RefBlockHash the bytes from the 8 to 16(not included) of the hash of the latest block, set BlockBytes the bytes from 6 to 8(not included) of the height of the latest block.
public static Transaction setReference(Transaction transaction, Block newestBlock) { long blockHeight = newestBlock.getBlockHeader().getRawData().getNumber(); byte[] blockHash = getBlockHash(newestBlock).getBytes(); byte[] refBlockNum = ByteArray.fromLong(blockHeight); Transaction.raw rawData = transaction.getRawData().toBuilder() .setRefBlockHash(ByteString.copyFrom(ByteArray.subArray(blockHash, 8, 16))) .setRefBlockBytes(ByteString.copyFrom(ByteArray.subArray(refBlockNum, 6, 8))) .build(); return transaction.toBuilder().setRawData(rawData).build(); }
Way to set expiration time and transaction timestamp:
public static Transaction createTransaction(byte[] from, byte[] to, long amount) { Transaction.Builder transactionBuilder = Transaction.newBuilder(); Block newestBlock = WalletClient.getBlock(-1); Transaction.Contract.Builder contractBuilder = Transaction.Contract.newBuilder(); Contract.TransferContract.Builder transferContractBuilder = Contract.TransferContract .newBuilder(); transferContractBuilder.setAmount(amount); ByteString bsTo = ByteString.copyFrom(to); ByteString bsOwner = ByteString.copyFrom(from); transferContractBuilder.setToAddress(bsTo); transferContractBuilder.setOwnerAddress(bsOwner); try { Any any = Any.pack(transferContractBuilder.build()); contractBuilder.setParameter(any); } catch (Exception e) { return null; } contractBuilder.setType(Transaction.Contract.ContractType.TransferContract); transactionBuilder.getRawDataBuilder().addContract(contractBuilder) .setTimestamp(System.currentTimeMillis()) //in the form of millisecond .setExpiration(newestBlock.getBlockHeader().getRawData().getTimestamp() + 10 * 60 * 60 * 1000); Transaction transaction = transactionBuilder.build(); Transaction refTransaction = setReference(transaction, newestBlock); return refTransaction; }
