Zeppelin Solidity

Zeppelin is a library for writing secure Smart Contracts on Ethereum.

With Zeppelin, you can build distributed applications, protocols and organizations:

• using common contract security patterns (See Onward with Ethereum Smart Contract Security)
• in the Solidity language.

Getting Started

Zeppelin integrates with Truffle, an Ethereum development environment. Please install Truffle and initialize your project with truffle init.

npm install -g truffle
mkdir myproject && cd myproject
truffle init

To install the Zeppelin library, run:

npm i zeppelin-solidity

After that, you'll get all the library's contracts in the contracts/zeppelin folder. You can use the contracts in the library like so:

import "./zeppelin/Ownable.sol";

contract MyContract is Ownable {
  ...
}

NOTE: The current distribution channel is npm, which is not ideal. We're looking into providing a better tool for code distribution, and ideas are welcome.

Truffle Beta Support

We also support Truffle Beta npm integration. If you're using Truffle Beta, the contracts in node_modules will be enough, so feel free to delete the copies at your contracts folder. If you're using Truffle Beta, you can use Zeppelin contracts like so:

import "zeppelin-solidity/contracts/Ownable.sol";

contract MyContract is Ownable {
  ...
}

For more info see the Truffle Beta package management tutorial.

Security

Zeppelin is meant to provide secure, tested and community-audited code, but please use common sense when doing anything that deals with real money! We take no responsibility for your implementation decisions and any security problem you might experience.

If you find a security issue, please email security@openzeppelin.org.

Contracts

Ownable

Base contract with an owner.

Ownable( )

Sets the address of the creator of the contract as the owner.

modifier onlyOwner( )

Prevents function from running if it is called by anyone other than the owner.

transfer(address newOwner) onlyOwner

Transfers ownership of the contract to the passed address.

---

Stoppable

Base contract that provides an emergency stop mechanism.

Inherits from contract Ownable.

emergencyStop( ) external onlyOwner

Triggers the stop mechanism on the contract. After this function is called (by the owner of the contract), any function with modifier stopInEmergency will not run.

modifier stopInEmergency

Prevents function from running if stop mechanism is activated.

modifier onlyInEmergency

Only runs if stop mechanism is activated.

release( ) external onlyOwner onlyInEmergency

Deactivates the stop mechanism.

---

Killable

Base contract that can be killed by owner.

Inherits from contract Ownable.

kill( ) onlyOwner

Destroys the contract and sends funds back to the owner.

---

Claimable

Extension for the Ownable contract, where the ownership needs to be claimed

transfer(address newOwner) onlyOwner

Sets the passed address as the pending owner.

modifier onlyPendingOwner

Function only runs if called by pending owner.

claimOwnership( ) onlyPendingOwner

Completes transfer of ownership by setting pending owner as the new owner.

---

Migrations

Base contract that allows for a new instance of itself to be created at a different address.

Inherits from contract Ownable.

upgrade(address new_address) onlyOwner

Creates a new instance of the contract at the passed address.

setCompleted(uint completed) onlyOwner

Sets the last time that a migration was completed.

---

SafeMath

Provides functions of mathematical operations with safety checks.

assert(bool assertion) internal

Throws an error if the passed result is false. Used in this contract by checking mathematical expressions.

safeMul(uint a, uint b) internal returns (uint)

Multiplies two unisgned integers. Asserts that dividing the product by the non-zero multiplicand results in the multiplier.

safeSub(uint a, unit b) internal returns (uint)

Checks that b is not greater than a before subtracting.

safeAdd(unit a, unit b) internal returns (uint)

Checks that the result is greater than both a and b.

---

LimitBalance

Base contract that provides mechanism for limiting the amount of funds a contract can hold.

LimitBalance(unit _limit)

Constructor takes an unisgned integer and sets it as the limit of funds this contract can hold.

modifier limitedPayable()

Throws an error if this contract's balance is already above the limit.

---

PullPayment

Base contract supporting async send for pull payments. Inherit from this contract and use asyncSend instead of send.

asyncSend(address dest, uint amount) internal

Adds sent amount to available balance that payee can pull from this contract, called by payer.

withdrawPayments( )

Sends designated balance to payee calling the contract. Throws error if designated balance is 0, if contract does not hold enough funds ot pay the payee, or if the send transaction is not successful.

---

StandardToken

Based on code by FirstBlood: FirstBloodToken.sol

Inherits from contract SafeMath. Implementation of abstract contract ERC20 (see https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/issues/20)

approve(address _spender, uint _value) returns (bool success)

Sets the amount of the sender's token balance that the passed address is approved to use.

###allowance(address _owner, address _spender) constant returns (uint remaining) Returns the approved amount of the owner's balance that the spender can use.

###balanceOf(address _owner) constant returns (uint balance) Returns the token balance of the passed address.

###transferFrom(address _from, address _to, uint _value) returns (bool success) Transfers tokens from an account that the sender is approved to transfer from. Amount must not be greater than the approved amount or the account's balance.

###function transfer(address _to, uint _value) returns (bool success) Transfers tokens from sender's account. Amount must not be greater than sender's balance.

---

BasicToken

Simpler version of StandardToken, with no allowances

balanceOf(address _owner) constant returns (uint balance)

Returns the token balance of the passed address.

###function transfer(address _to, uint _value) returns (bool success) Transfers tokens from sender's account. Amount must not be greater than sender's balance.

---

CrowdsaleToken

Simple ERC20 Token example, with crowdsale token creation.

Inherits from contract StandardToken.

createTokens(address recipient) payable

Creates tokens based on message value and credits to the recipient.

getPrice() constant returns (uint result)

Returns the amount of tokens per 1 ether.

---

Bounty

To create a bounty for your contract, inherit from the base Bounty contract and provide an implementation for deployContract() returning the new contract address.

import {Bounty, Target} from "./zeppelin/Bounty.sol";
import "./YourContract.sol";

contract YourBounty is Bounty {
  function deployContract() internal returns(address) {
    return new YourContract()
  }
}

Next, implement invariant logic into your smart contract

At contracts/YourContract.sol

import {Bounty, Target} from "./zeppelin/Bounty.sol";
contract YourContract is Target {
  function checkInvariant() returns(bool) {
    // Implement your logic to make sure that none of the invariants are broken.
  }
}

Next, deploy your bounty contract along with your main contract to the network.

At migrations/2_deploy_contracts.js

module.exports = function(deployer) {
  deployer.deploy(YourContract);
  deployer.deploy(YourBounty);
};

Next, add a reward to the bounty contract

After deploying the contract, send reward funds into the bounty contract.

From truffle console

bounty = YourBounty.deployed();
address = 0xb9f68f96cde3b895cc9f6b14b856081b41cb96f1; // your account address
reward = 5; // reward to pay to a researcher who breaks your contract

web3.eth.sendTransaction({
  from: address,
  to: bounty.address,
  value: web3.toWei(reward, "ether")
})

If researchers break the contract, they can claim their reward.

For each researcher who wants to hack the contract and claims the reward, refer to our test for the detail.

Finally, if you manage to protect your contract from security researchers, you can reclaim the bounty funds. To end the bounty, kill the contract so that all the rewards go back to the owner.

bounty.kill();
