Long-Duration Grant Simulation Implementation

Issue #19: Testing Long-Duration Simulation

This implementation addresses the requirement to simulate a grant that runs for 10 years, ensuring timestamp math doesn't overflow or drift significantly.

Implementation Overview

Grant Contract (lib.rs)

The GrantContract implements a vesting grant system with the following key features:

  1. Grant Initialization: initialize_grant() sets up a grant with:

    • Recipient address
    • Total amount (using U256 for large numbers)
    • Duration in seconds
    • Automatic start/end timestamp calculation

  2. Claimable Balance Calculation: claimable_balance() calculates vested tokens using:

    • Linear vesting formula: total_amount * elapsed_time / total_duration
    • Protection against timestamp overflow
    • U256 arithmetic for precision with large numbers

  3. Claim Functionality: claim() allows recipients to withdraw vested tokens

  4. Grant Information: get_grant_info() returns grant details for testing

Key Features for Long-Duration Testing

  • U256 Arithmetic: Uses 256-bit integers to handle large amounts and prevent overflow
  • Timestamp Safety: Validates timestamp calculations to prevent overflow
  • Linear Vesting: Simple, predictable vesting schedule
  • Precision: Maintains accuracy over long periods

Test Suite (test.rs)

1. Basic Functionality Test

  • Verifies basic grant creation and vesting over short periods

2. Long-Duration Simulation Test (Main Requirement)

test_long_duration_simulation_10_years()

Test Parameters:

  • Duration: 315360000 seconds (exactly 10 years)
  • Total Amount: 100,000,000 tokens
  • Verification points: Year 5 and Year 10

Verification at Year 5:

  • Expected: ~50% of total amount vested
  • Tolerance: ±1 token for rounding precision
  • Formula: total_amount * 157680000 / 315360000

Verification at Year 10:

  • Expected: 100% of total amount vested
  • Tolerance: ±1 token for rounding precision
  • Tests beyond end time to ensure no additional vesting

3. Claim Functionality Test

  • Tests claiming at year 5 and year 10
  • Verifies total claimed equals total amount
  • Ensures claimable balance resets to 0 after claiming

4. Timestamp Overflow Test

  • Tests with high timestamps near u64::MAX
  • Verifies no overflow in timestamp calculations
  • Uses large amounts to stress test U256 arithmetic

5. Grant Information Test

  • Verifies proper storage and retrieval of grant parameters

Acceptance Criteria Fulfillment

✅ Test case with duration = 315360000 (10 years)

  • Implemented in test_long_duration_simulation_10_years()
  • Uses exact 10-year duration in seconds

✅ Verify claimable_balance is accurate at year 5 and year 10

  • Year 5: Verifies ~50% vesting with ±1 token tolerance
  • Year 10: Verifies 100% vesting with ±1 token tolerance
  • Includes detailed assertions and error messages

Technical Considerations

Overflow Prevention

  • Uses U256 for amount calculations
  • Validates timestamp bounds
  • Tests edge cases with maximum timestamps

Precision Handling

  • Linear vesting formula minimizes rounding errors
  • Tolerance-based assertions for floating-point precision
  • Uses integer arithmetic where possible

Long-Duration Stability

  • Tests with 10-year timespans
  • Verifies no timestamp drift
  • Validates mathematical accuracy over long periods

Running the Tests

Once Rust and Visual Studio Build Tools are installed:

cargo test

The test suite will run all 5 test functions, with the main long-duration simulation being the primary focus.
