Magmo Protocols



Welcome to the Magmo protocol mono-repo, home of the smart contracts that implement our state channel protocols. Various utilities are also found here.



On our [website](https://magmo.com) you will find links to our whitepapers and contact information.



This repository contains (i) a state channel framework capable of running 3rd-party

'applications' that conform to a simple state-machine interface and (ii) an extension to allow for large-scale state-channel networks.



# ForceMove



The ForceMove framework takes a pragmatic approach to state channels directly funded by on-chain deposits: sacrificing generality of the supported applications,

for simplicity in the on-chain and off-chain logic. In particular, the framework can't (yet) support

any applications that have state transitions whose validity depends on time, or other properties

that are external to the channel's state. For example, as it currently stands, you couldn't build

a state channel sports betting game, where bets have to be made by a deadline and the winner

is determined through an oracle feed.



A full description of the framework and it's capabilities can be found in our [whitepaper](https://magmo.com/force-move-games.pdf).



# Nitro and the nitro-adjudicator



Nitro protocol subsumes and extends ForceMove by allowing for ledger channels (which can allocate funds to other state channels) and virtual channels (which allow intermediaries to help other state-channel-network users open and close channels off-chain).



A full description of the framework and it's capabilities can be found in our second [whitepaper](https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/219).



The nitro-adjudicator supports an arbitrary number of state channels, and introduces new on-chain functions to manage state channel networks. We are currently working on an upgrading our example applications to run in ledger and virtual channels, as well as upgrading our channel wallet to help manage multiple channels in the network.



# Packages



This repository is split into packages, the first two of which are published as independent node modules.



| Package                                                     | Description                                                                     |

| ----------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| [`fmg-core`](/packages/fmg-core)                            | Contracts and js libraries for the protocols' rules and states                  |

| [`fmg-nitro-adjudicator`](./packages/fmg-nitro-adjudicator) | Implementation of on-chain adjudicator capable of supporting the Nitro protocol |

| [`fmg-payments`](./packages/fmg-payments)                   | Example: payment channel built on the framework                                 |



### TODO



This project is still a work in progress! Still to do in the short term:



- [x] Publish packages to npm.

- [x] Release [whitepaper](https://magmo.com/force-move-games.pdf)

- [x] Build out full example applications (including UI) [RPS and TTT](https://github.com/magmo/apps).

- [ ] Optimize contracts for gas consumption.

- [ ] More tests to demonstrate the simple adjudicator.

- [ ] Audit contracts.



In the medium term:



- [ ] Add support for ERC20 tokens.

- [ ] Extend the code to n-party games.

- [x] Create [nitro-adjudicator](./packages/fmg-nitro-adjudicator): capable of supporting [ledger channels and virtual channels](https://eprint.iacr.org/2019/219).

### Contributing



We welcome contributions and feedback from the community! We'll be putting together some more-comprehensive

contributing guidelines shortly. In the meantime, [issues](https://github.com/magmo/force-move-games/issues)

and PRs welcome!



### Development



We use [lerna](https://lernajs.io/) to manage the packages inside the repository and

[truffle](http://truffleframework.com/) for smart contract development.



To get started:



1. Download the repo.

2. Install lerna: `npm install -g lerna`.

3. Install truffle: `npm install -g truffle`.

4. Install [ganache](http://truffleframework.com/ganache/).

5. Run `lerna bootstrap` anywhere in the project.

6. Within a package, run `npm test` for that package's tests. Or, run it from the project root to test both `fmg-core` and `fmg-simple-adjudicator`.



NOTE: while the above instructions use globally installed `lerna` and `truffle` node modules, the tests running on circleci use dev dependencies, and may therefore produce different results.
