Simple Summary

A new software architecture for Klaytn development environment which is shared by all Klaytn SDKs (also known as ‘caver’ series).

Abstract

The following standard allows Klaytn’s SDK, Caver, to implement a common architecture regardless of programming languages.

Motivation

Klaytn SDKs (caver-js and caver-java) do not share common terminology and software architecture. It makes it difficult to implement blockchain applications using multiple programming languages. For example, if the server program is implemented in Java and the client is implemented in Javascript, the developer should learn two different SDKs that have different terminology and software architecture, even if those programs utilize a single blockchain platform, Klaytn.
The common architecture is designed to unify the terminology used in the SDKs and easily extend to other languages by establishing a language-independent common architecture.
With the common architecture, we want to achieve two goals:

  • Developers can easily implement their application using another language if they have implemented it in any Klaytn SDK before.
  • An SDK in another programming language can be implemented relatively easily because the software architecture is commonly defined.

Specification

Terminology

Term Description
Account A data structure representing a Klaytn Account. It contains information like balance, nonce, public key(s), etc. Note that the public key(s) of the account can be changed in Klaytn because the public key(s) and the account address are decoupled. Please refer to klaytn account for more detail.
Account key A data structure representing various Klaytn account key types. Please refer to accountkey for more detail.
Keyring A data structure containing Klaytn’s account address and private key(s). It is used to sign a transaction.
Keyring container A data structure containing multiple keyrings.
Wallet A synonym of the keyring container. A wallet is a data structure containing multiple keyrings.
Transaction A data structure sent between nodes that changes the state of the blockchain. Klaytn provides multiple transaction types that empower Klaytn with new capabilities and optimizations for memory footprint and performance.
Raw transaction An RLP-encoded string of a transaction.
JSON-RPC A stateless, light-weight remote procedure call (RPC) protocol. It uses JSON as a data format.
Contract A computer program or a transaction protocol which is intended to automatically execute, control or document legally relevant events and actions according to the terms of a contract or an agreement. You can deploy a smart contract or execute a smart contract that has already been deployed to Klaytn through a transaction.
ABI The Application Binary Interface(ABI) to communicate between two binary program modules.
KCT (Klaytn Compatible Token) A special type of a smart contract that implements token specifications defined in the KCT section of Klaytn Improvement Proposals.

Layer Diagram of the Common Architecture

Below diagram shows the layers of the common architecture. Components belonging to each layer are represented inside the layer box.

layerDiagram

The KCT layer allows you to interact with Klaytn compatible token (KCT) contracts (e.g., KIP-7 or KIP-17). This is implemented by extending the Contract class in the Contract layer.

The Contract layer allows you to interact with smart contracts on the Klaytn.

The ABI layer provides the functions to encode and decode parameters based on ABI.

The Transaction layer contains classes of Klaytn transaction types, TransactionDecoder, and TransactionHasher. The TransactionDecoder class decodes the RLP-encoded transaction string. The TransactionHasher class calculates the hash of the transaction.

The Wallet layer contains keyring classes (SingleKeyring, MultipleKeyring, and RoleBasedKeyring) and KeyringContainer class that contains multiple keyrings. The KeyringContainer class acts as an “in-memory wallet” that stores the Keyring instances.

The Account layer contains an Account class that stores information needed when updating the AccountKey of the account in the Klaytn.

Also, the RPC layer includes the Klay class, which is responsible for rpc calls of the klay namespace, and the Net class, which is responsible for rpc calls of the net namespace.

Finally, the Utils layer contains the Utils class that provides utility functions.

In the next chapter, each layer is described in detail.

Account Layer

The Account layer provides functionality related to updating the AccountKey of the Klaytn account.

accountLayer

Account is a class that represents a Klaytn account. It contains information needed to update the AccountKey of the account in the Klaytn. It has address and accountKey as member variables. The accountKey can be an instance of AccountKeyLegacy, AccountKeyPublic, AccountKeyFail, AccountKeyWeightedMultiSig, and AccountKeyRoleBased depending on the key.

An Account instance is injected into the account field of the AccountUpdate transaction types (AccountUpdate, FeeDelegatedAccountUpdate, and FeeDelegatedAccountUpdateWithRatio). When an AccountUpdate transaction is successfully processed in Klaytn, the account key of the Klaytn account is updated with the accountKey defined in the Account instance.

Interface for AccountKey is defined as IAccountKey, and account key classes (AccountKeyLegacy, AccountKeyPublic, AccountKeyFail, AccountKeyWeightedMultiSig and AccountKeyRoleBased) implement IAccountKey.

AbstractTransaction defines variables and methods commonly used in all transactions. In addition, abstract methods that must be implemented in classes that extend this class are also defined. AbstractFeeDelegatedTransaction extends AbstractTransaction, and it defines variables and methods commonly used in fee delegation and partial fee delegation transactions. AbstractFeeDelegatedWithRatioTransaction extends AbstractFeeDelegatedTransaction, and it defines variables commonly used in partial fee delegation transactions.

Among the transaction types used in Klaytn, Basic transactions are implemented by extending AbstractTransaction. Fee delegation transactions are implemented by extending AbstractFeeDelegatedTransaction, Partial fee delegation transactions are implemented by extending AbstractFeeDelegatedWithRatioTransaction.

The TransactionDecoder class decodes the RLP-encoded string using the decode method implemented in each transaction class.

Contract, ABI, KCT Layer

The Contract layer provides the functions to interact with smart contracts on Klaytn. This Contract layer uses the function of the ABI layer that provides the functions to encode and decode parameters with the ABI (Application Binary Interface). KCT is a layer that provides the functions to interact with KCT token contracts (i.e., KIP-7 or KIP-17) on Klaytn.

contractkctabi

The Contract class makes it easy to interact with smart contracts based on ABI. If you have the byte code and constructor parameters, you can use the Contract instance to deploy the smart contract to Klaytn. The class can process the ABI so that the user can easily call the smart contract function through a member variable called methods.

The ABI class provides functions to encode and decode parameters. The Contract class encodes and decodes the parameters required for smart contract deployment and execution using the functions provided by the ABI. To create a transaction to deploy or execute a smart contract, the required data can be filled with ABI.

The KIP7 class provides the functions to interact with KIP-7 token contracts on Klaytn. This class allows users to easily deploy and execute KIP-7 token contracts on Klaytn. KIP7 maps all functions defined in KIP-7 and provides them as class methods.

The KIP17 class provides the functions to interact with KIP-17 token contracts on Klaytn. This class allows users to easily deploy and execute KIP-17 token contracts on Klaytn. KIP17 maps all functions defined in KIP-17 and provides them as class methods.

More token standards defined in KCT can be implemented here. For other KCT implementations can be found in the SDK references (caver-js, caver-java).

Contract

Contract is a class that allows users to easily interact with smart contracts on Klaytn. It can deploy a smart contract to Klaytn or execute a smart contract deployed on Klaytn.

Variables
Variable Description
address: String The address of the smart contract to call. If the smart contract has already been deployed to Klaytn, users can specify the address of the smart contract to be called. This value is set after the contract deployment is successfully performed.
abi: List<Object> The abi of the smart contract to interact with.
methods: Map<String:ContractMethod> The methods of the smart contract. When a contract receives an abi from the user, it parses the abi, makes functions that can be called into ContractMethod, and stores them into this variable.
events: Map<String:ContractEvent> The events of the smart contract. When a contract receives an abi from the user, it parses the abi, makes events that can be fired into ContractEvent, and stores them into this variable.
defaultSendOptions: SendOptions An object that contains information to be used as default values when a user sends a transaction that changes the state of a smart contract. The values (from, gas, and value) can be optionally defined in SendOptions. When a user calls a method to send a transaction, the user can optionally define sendOptions. If the user defines sendOptions separately when calling the function, the parameter in the function call has the higher priority. The conflicting attributes in this variable will be ignored in that case.
Methods
Method Description
create(String abi): Contract Creates an instance of Contract.
create(String abi, String contractAddress): Contract Creates an instance of Contract with the given deployed address.

Example Usage of the Common Architecture

In this chapter, the pseudocode for sending a transaction using the SDK that implements the common architecture is explained.

input: keystore.json, password, from, to, value, gas
output: receipt of value transfer transaction

// Read keystore json file and decrypt keystore
keystore <- readFile('./keystore.json')
keyring <- decryptKeystore(keystore, password)

// Add the keyring to the in-memory wallet
addToTheWallet(keyring)

// Create a value transfer transaction
vt <- createValueTransferTransaction(from, to, value, gas)

// Sign the transaction
signed <- sign(from, vt)

// Send the transaction to Klaytn
receipt <- sendRawTransaction(signed)
print receipt

Rationale

While designing the common architecture, we tried to use the concept used in Klaytn as much as possible.

Backward Compatibility

The backward compatibility is preserved. That is, the previous implementation using Klaytn SDKs will work without any changes.

Test Cases

  1. All of the functions defined in the above common architecture diagram should be provided.
  2. The existing functions in caver-js and caver-java can be used.

Implementation

PRs related to common architecture are linked to the issues below. The common architecture is implemented in caver-js v1.5.0 and caver-java v1.5.0.
