Raise funds for your project through a Crowdsale

Using your governance token, you can create a crowdsale contract to raise funds to bring your project to life.

Write a Crowdsale smart contract

It turns out that writing the Crowdsale smart contract is very simple. Here is a basic contract to provide decentralized crowdfunding on Bitcoin Virtual Machine.

// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.17;

interface IERC20 {
    function transfer(address, uint) external returns (bool);

    function transferFrom(address, address, uint) external returns (bool);
}

contract CrowdSale {
    event Launch(
        uint id,
        address indexed creator,
        uint goal,
        uint32 startAt,
        uint32 endAt
    );
    event Cancel(uint id);
    event Pledge(uint indexed id, address indexed caller, uint amount);
    event Unpledge(uint indexed id, address indexed caller, uint amount);
    event Claim(uint id);
    event Refund(uint id, address indexed caller, uint amount);

    struct Campaign {
        // Creator of campaign
        address creator;
        // Amount of tokens to raise
        uint goal;
        // Total amount pledged
        uint pledged;
        // Timestamp of start of campaign
        uint32 startAt;
        // Timestamp of end of campaign
        uint32 endAt;
        // True if goal was reached and creator has claimed the tokens.
        bool claimed;
    }

    IERC20 public immutable token;
    // Total count of campaigns created.
    // It is also used to generate id for new campaigns.
    uint public count;
    // Mapping from id to Campaign
    mapping(uint => Campaign) public campaigns;
    // Mapping from campaign id => pledger => amount pledged
    mapping(uint => mapping(address => uint)) public pledgedAmount;

    constructor(address _token) {
        token = IERC20(_token);
    }

    function launch(uint _goal, uint32 _startAt, uint32 _endAt) external {
        require(_startAt >= block.timestamp, "start at < now");
        require(_endAt >= _startAt, "end at < start at");
        require(_endAt <= block.timestamp + 90 days, "end at > max duration");

        count += 1;
        campaigns[count] = Campaign({
            creator: msg.sender,
            goal: _goal,
            pledged: 0,
            startAt: _startAt,
            endAt: _endAt,
            claimed: false
        });

        emit Launch(count, msg.sender, _goal, _startAt, _endAt);
    }

    function cancel(uint _id) external {
        Campaign memory campaign = campaigns[_id];
        require(campaign.creator == msg.sender, "not creator");
        require(block.timestamp < campaign.startAt, "started");

        delete campaigns[_id];
        emit Cancel(_id);
    }

    function pledge(uint _id, uint _amount) external {
        Campaign storage campaign = campaigns[_id];
        require(block.timestamp >= campaign.startAt, "not started");
        require(block.timestamp <= campaign.endAt, "ended");

        campaign.pledged += _amount;
        pledgedAmount[_id][msg.sender] += _amount;
        token.transferFrom(msg.sender, address(this), _amount);

        emit Pledge(_id, msg.sender, _amount);
    }

    function unpledge(uint _id, uint _amount) external {
        Campaign storage campaign = campaigns[_id];
        require(block.timestamp <= campaign.endAt, "ended");

        campaign.pledged -= _amount;
        pledgedAmount[_id][msg.sender] -= _amount;
        token.transfer(msg.sender, _amount);

        emit Unpledge(_id, msg.sender, _amount);
    }

    function claim(uint _id) external {
        Campaign storage campaign = campaigns[_id];
        require(campaign.creator == msg.sender, "not creator");
        require(block.timestamp > campaign.endAt, "not ended");
        require(campaign.pledged >= campaign.goal, "pledged < goal");
        require(!campaign.claimed, "claimed");

        campaign.claimed = true;
        token.transfer(campaign.creator, campaign.pledged);

        emit Claim(_id);
    }

    function refund(uint _id) external {
        Campaign memory campaign = campaigns[_id];
        require(block.timestamp > campaign.endAt, "not ended");
        require(campaign.pledged < campaign.goal, "pledged >= goal");

        uint bal = pledgedAmount[_id][msg.sender];
        pledgedAmount[_id][msg.sender] = 0;
        token.transfer(msg.sender, bal);

        emit Refund(_id, msg.sender, bal);
    }
}

Crowdsale ERC20 token:

1. User creates a campaign.

2. Users can pledge, transferring their token to a campaign.

3. After the campaign ends, campaign creator can claim the funds if total amount pledged is more than the campaign goal.

4. Otherwise, campaign did not reach it's goal, users can withdraw their pledge.

Clone the smart contract examples

We've prepared a few different examples for you to get started.

git clone https://github.com/trustlesscomputer/smart-contract-examples.git

Compile the contracts

To compile your contracts, use the built-in hardhat compile task.

cd smart-contract-examples
npm install
npx hardhat compile

Deploy the contracts

Review config file hardhat.config.ts. The network configs should look like this.

  networks: {
    mynw: {
      url: "<your layer 2's RPC url>",
      accounts: {
        mnemonic: "<your mnemonic with funds>"
      },
      timeout: 100_000,
    },
    blockscoutVerify: {
      blockscoutURL: "<your layer 2's explorer url>",
      ...
    }
  }

Run the deploy scripts using hardhat-deploy.

npx hardhat deploy --tags CrowdSale

Make sure the accounts in hardhat.config.ts have some TC in your Layer 2 that are bridged from Trustless Computer Layer 1.

Interact with the contracts

Once the contracts are deployed, you can interact with them. We've prepared a few hardhat tasks to make it easy for you to interact with the contracts.

npx hardhat launch --goal <goal-amount> --start <start-time-in-second> --end <end-time-in-second>
npx hardhat pledge --id <id> --amount <pledge-amount>
npx hardhat claim --id <crowdsale-id>
