This repository contains two protocol layers:
Zoltar: the forkable oracle base layerAugur Statoblast: the prediction-market application layer built on top of Zoltar
The codebase is split into these main areas:
solidity/contains contracts, protocol test support, tests, and generated contract artifactsui/contains the Preact frontend, organized by application shell, feature, and protocol-client boundariesshared/contains runtime-neutral TypeScript used by Solidity tooling and the UIdocs/contains the published protocol documentationscripts/contains repository-wide build, validation, and test orchestrationbots/contains liquidator and open oracle arbitrager bots
Inside ui/ts, route-specific code belongs under features/<domain>, cross-feature UI primitives remain in components, application composition belongs in app, and contract reads and writes belong in protocol.
Protocol documentation lives in docs/documentation.html

anvilfor local chain work
On a fresh checkout, start with the root dependency install:
bun install --frozen-lockfileThen run the full bootstrap:
bun run setupInstall anvil if it is not already available:
bun run install:anvilImportant:
bun run setupis the fastest way to get to a working repo after the root install.- Standalone commands like
bun tsc,bun run tsc, andbun run testassume the root dependencies are already installed. - If you skip the initial
bun install --frozen-lockfile, fresh checkouts can fail with missing packages such asbun-types.
After completing Setup, start a local chain and launch the app:
- Start
anvil - Run
bun run app:serve
If you are iterating on the app and want rebuilds, use:
bun run app:watchThe mainnet UI read backend defaults to https://ethereum.dark.florist;
Sepolia defaults to its profile RPC at
https://ethereum-sepolia-rpc.publicnode.com. You can override the active
network's default without changing code:
- Add
?rpcUrl=https://your-rpc.exampleto the app URL - Set
localStorage['zoltar.rpcUrl'] - Set
globalThis.__ZOLTAR_RPC_URL__before bootstrapping the app - Set the
ZOLTAR_RPC_URLenvironment variable for environments that injectprocess.env
Open the application with ?network=sepolia in either the page query or route
query (for example, #/deploy?network=sepolia). The application then uses
Sepolia chain ID 11155111, its configured public RPC, Sepolia Etherscan links,
and Sepolia-specific deterministic contract addresses.
The Sepolia deployment flow includes WETH and genesis REP before the contracts
that depend on them. Initial Sepolia REP holders and exact 18-decimal balances
are defined in
shared/ts/sepoliaRepAllocations.ts.
Changing that list also changes the deterministic genesis REP address and every
dependent deployment address.
The UI also supports a walletless browser-local simulation mode for manual QA. After completing Setup:
- Run
bun run app:serve - Open
http://localhost:12345/?simulate=1
This mode does not require a wallet extension or anvil. Instead, it boots a Tevm-backed in-browser chain, seeds the QA accounts with ETH, WETH, and REP, and leaves the application contracts undeployed so the UI starts on the deploy flow.
Simulation mode details:
- The activation flag is
?simulate=1 - The flag is intentionally not restricted to localhost or development builds; production deployments may expose it as a browser-local demo and manual-QA path
- Production users should treat any
?simulate=1URL as a local sandbox. Simulated balances, deployments, blocks, quotes, and transactions are local to the browser and are not evidence of mainnet state. - Supported seeded scenarios are
simScenario=baseline,simScenario=deployed,simScenario=security-pool,simScenario=securitypoolx2, andsimScenario=securitypoolx2-auction - The live simulation chain is ephemeral and exists only in the current brow

bun run gas-costsBy default, gas-costs starts an isolated Anvil node. To measure against an existing local node instead, start Anvil in one terminal:
anvil --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8545 --chain-id 1 --block-base-fee-per-gas 0 --gas-price 0 --no-priority-feeThen run gas-costs against it from another terminal:
ANVIL_RPC=http://127.0.0.1:8545 bun run gas-costsUse ANVIL_RPC=http://host.docker.internal:8545 bun run gas-costs when the command runs from a container that reaches the host through Docker routing.
bun run tscis a pure typecheck for the app TypeScript, the Solidity-side TypeScript utilities, and the Bun build/dev scripts. It does not regenerate shared assets or vendor output.bun run testruns the TypeScript check first, then executes the test suite.bun run coverageruns every canonically discovered TypeScript test, reports weighted coverage for UI, shared, and tooling source, counts statically identified executable lines and functions in unloaded source as zero-hit coverage, and checks product TypeScript from theorigin/mainmerge base through committed, staged, unstaged, and untracked task changes. SetCOVERAGE_BASE_REFor pass--base-refto the reporter to use another comparison ref. Usebun run coverage:fullto enforce the same policy with the slower Solidity bytecode trace phase.
