Welcome to the world of decentralized finance with Defi Minimal! This repository aims to create minimalist versions of existing DeFi primitives. However, proceed with caution – none of the contracts are audited. In this article, we’ll walk you through the essentials: what you need to know, how to deploy contracts, and even troubleshoot some common issues.

Getting Started

Before diving into Defi Minimal, it’s recommended that you’ve gone through the Hardhat Getting Started Documentation. This will help you understand the foundational tools needed for smart contract development.

Requirements

Ensure your development environment is prepped and ready by installing the following:

• Git – Confirm installation with:

git --version

• Node.js – Confirm installation with:

node --version

• Yarn – Confirm installation with:

yarn --version

Quickstart

To get started, follow these simple steps:

1. Clone the repository and install dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/smartcontractkit/defi-minimal
cd defi-minimal
yarn or npm install

2. You are ready to go – run tests with:

yarn hardhat test or npx hardhat test

Usage

To explore more tasks that can be run, use:

yarn hardhat --help

Deploying Contracts

Deploy your contracts to a local network using:

yarn hardhat deploy

Run a Local Network

To have a local test environment:

yarn hardhat node

This command sets up a local blockchain with all your contracts deployed, giving you a private key and an endpoint for an EVM wallet.

Using a Testnet or Live Network (like Mainnet or Polygon)

In your hardhat.config.js, you can specify the networks you want to work with. Refer to the Hardhat documentation for more details.

Rinkeby Ethereum Testnet Setup

Set your environment variables securely. Follow the instructions below:

1. Create a file named .env, ensuring that it is not exposed in a public repository.
2. Set the following variables:

RINKEBY_RPC_URL=[your_rpc_url]
PRIVATE_KEY=[your_private_key]

Code Formatting

Keep your code neat with the following command:

yarn format

Slither Static Analysis

Ensure your contracts are safe by using the Slither static analysis tool:

yarn slither

Common Troubleshooting Tips

If you encounter issues, consider the following:

• Verify that your environment variables are correctly set and not exposed.
• Ensure all conditions are met as outlined in the requirements section.
• If encountering errors during deployment, double-check your configuration files.
