pymaker

Python API for Maker contracts.

Build Status

https://chat.makerdao.com/channel/keeper

Introduction

The DAI Stablecoin System incentivizes external agents, called keepers, to automate certain operations around the Ethereum blockchain. In order to ease their development, an API around most of the Maker contracts has been created. It can be used not only by keepers, but may also be found useful by authors of some other, unrelated utilities aiming to interact with these contracts.

Based on this API, a set of reference Maker keepers is being developed. They all used to reside in this repository, but now each of them has an individual one: bite-keeper (SCD only), arbitrage-keeper, auction-keeper (MCD only), cdp-keeper (SCD only), market-maker-keeper.

You only need to install this project directly if you want to build your own keepers, or if you want to play with this API library itself. If you just want to install one of reference keepers, go to one of the repositories linked above and start from there. Each of these keepers references some version of pymaker via a Git submodule.

Installation

This project uses Python 3.6.6.

In order to clone the project and install required third-party packages please execute:

git clone https://github.com/makerdao/pymaker.git
cd pymaker
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Known Ubuntu issues

In order for the secp256k Python dependency to compile properly, following packages will need to be installed:

sudo apt-get install build-essential automake libtool pkg-config libffi-dev python-dev python-pip libsecp256k1-dev

(for Ubuntu 18.04 Server)

Known macOS issues

In order for the Python requirements to install correctly on macOS, please install openssl, libtool, pkg-config and automake using Homebrew:

brew install openssl libtool pkg-config automake

and set the LDFLAGS environment variable before you run pip3 install -r requirements.txt:

export LDFLAGS="-L$(brew --prefix openssl)/lib" CFLAGS="-I$(brew --prefix openssl)/include"

Known node issues

  • pymaker has been tested against Parity/OpenEthereum and Geth. It has not been tested against Hyperledger Besu.
  • Many Ethereum node providers do not support the full JSON-RPC API. As such, certain JSON-RPC calls in __init__.py may not function properly.
  • Some node providers only support certain calls using websocket endpoints. Unfortunately, Web3.py's WebsocketProvider does not support multiple threads awaiting a response from the websocket, breaking some core pymaker functionality in Lifecycle and Transact classes.
  • When using an Infura node to pull event logs, ensure your requests are batched into a small enough chunks such that no more than 10,000 results will be returned for each request.
  • Asynchronous submission of simultaneous transactions often doesn't work on third-party node providers because RPC calls to parity_nextNonce and getTransactionCount are inappropriately proxied, cached, or just plain not supported. To remedy this, a serial-incrementing nonce is used for these providers' URLs. The downside to a serial- incrementing nonce is that transactions submitted for the same account from another wallet or keeper will bring the next nonce out-of-alignment, causing transaction failures or unexpected replacements. To work around this, stop the application, wait for pending transactions for the account to be mined, and then restart the application.
  • Recovery of pending transactions does not work on certain third-party node providers.

Available APIs

The current version provides APIs around:

APIs around the following functionality have not been implemented:

  • Governance (DSAuth, DSGuard, DSSpell, Mom)

Code samples

Below you can find some code snippets demonstrating how the API can be used both for developing your own keepers and for creating some other utilities interacting with the DAI Stablecoin ecosystem contracts.

Token transfer

This snippet demonstrates how to transfer some SAI from our default address. The SAI token address is discovered by querying the Tub, so all we need as a Tub address:

from web3 import HTTPProvider, Web3

from pymaker import Address
from pymaker.token import ERC20Token
from pymaker.numeric import Wad
from pymaker.sai import Tub


web3 = Web3(HTTPProvider(endpoint_uri="http://localhost:8545"))

tub = Tub(web3=web3, address=Address('0xb7ae5ccabd002b5eebafe6a8fad5499394f67980'))
sai = ERC20Token(web3=web3, address=tub.sai())

sai.transfer(address=Address('0x0000000000111111111100000000001111111111'),
             value=Wad.from_number(10)).transact()

Updating a DSValue

This snippet demonstrates how to update a DSValue with the ETH/USD rate pulled from CryptoCompare:

import json
import urllib.request

from web3 import HTTPProvider, Web3

from pymaker import Address
from pymaker.feed import DSValue
from pymaker.numeric import Wad


def cryptocompare_rate() -> Wad:
    with urllib.request.urlopen("https://min-api.cryptocompare.com/data/price?fsym=ETH&tsyms=USD") as url:
        data = json.loads(url.read().decode())
        return Wad.from_number(data['USD'])


web3 = Web3(HTTPProvider(endpoint_uri="http://localhost:8545"))

dsvalue = DSValue(web3=web3, address=Address('0x038b3d8288df582d57db9be2106a27be796b0daf'))
dsvalue.poke_with_int(cryptocompare_rate().value).transact()

SAI introspection

This snippet demonstrates how to fetch data from Tub and Tap contracts:

from web3 import HTTPProvider, Web3

from pymaker import Address
from pymaker.token import ERC20Token
from pymaker.numeric import Ray
from pymaker.sai import Tub, Tap


web3 = Web3(HTTPProvider(endpoint_uri="http://localhost:8545"))

tub = Tub(web3=web3, address=Address('0x448a5065aebb8e423f0896e6c5d525c040f59af3'))
tap = Tap(web3=web3, address=Address('0xbda109309f9fafa6dd6a9cb9f1df4085b27ee8ef'))
sai = ERC20Token(web3=web3, address=tub.sai())
skr = ERC20Token(web3=web3, address=tub.skr())
gem = ERC20Token(web3=web3, address=tub.gem())

print(f"")
print(f"Token summary")
print(f"-------------")
print(f"SAI total supply       : {sai.total_supply()} SAI")
print(f"SKR total supply       : {skr.total_supply()} SKR")
print(f"GEM total supply       : {gem.total_supply()} GEM")
print(f"")
print(f"Collateral summary")
print(f"------------------")
print(f"GEM collateral         : {tub.pie()} GEM")
print(f"SKR collateral         : {tub.air()} SKR")
print(f"SKR pending liquidation: {tap.fog()} SKR")
print(f"")
print(f"Debt summary")
print(f"------------")
print(f"Debt ceiling           : {tub.cap()} SAI")
print(f"Good debt              : {tub.din()} SAI")
print(f"Bad debt               : {tap.woe()} SAI")
print(f"Surplus                : {tap.joy()} SAI")
print(f"")
print(f"Feed summary")
print(f"------------")
print(f"REF per GEM feed       : {tub.pip()}")
print(f"REF per SKR price      : {tub.tag()}")
print(f"GEM per SKR price      : {tub.per()}")
print(f"")
print(f"Tub parameters")
print(f"--------------")
print(f"Liquidation ratio      : {tub.mat()*100} %")
print(f"Liquidation penalty    : {tub.axe()*100 - Ray.from_number(100)} %")
print(f"Stability fee          : {tub.tax()} %")
print(f"")
print(f"All cups")
print(f"--------")
for cup_id in range(1, tub.cupi()+1):
    cup = tub.cups(cup_id)
    print(f"Cup #{cup_id}, lad={cup.lad}, ink={cup.ink} SKR, tab={tub.tab(cup_id)} SAI, safe={tub.safe(cup_id)}")

Multi-collateral Dai

This snippet demonstrates how to create a CDP and draw Dai.

import sys
from web3 import Web3, HTTPProvider

from pymaker import Address
from pymaker.deployment import DssDeployment
from pymaker.keys import register_keys
from pymaker.numeric import Wad


web3 = Web3(HTTPProvider(endpoint_uri="https://localhost:8545",
                         request_kwargs={"timeout": 10}))
web3.eth.defaultAccount = sys.argv[1]   # ex: 0x0000000000000000000000000000000aBcdef123
register_keys(web3, [sys.argv[2]])      # ex: key_file=~keys/default-account.json,pass_file=~keys/default-account.pass

mcd = DssDeployment.from_json(web3=web3, conf=open("tests/config/kovan-addresses.json", "r").read())
our_address = Address(web3.eth.defaultAccount)


# Choose the desired collateral; in this case we'll wrap some Eth
collateral = mcd.collaterals['ETH-A']
ilk = collateral.ilk
collateral.gem.deposit(Wad.from_number(3)).transact()

# Add collateral and allocate the desired amount of Dai
collateral.approve(our_address)
collateral.adapter.join(our_address, Wad.from_number(3)).transact()
mcd.vat.frob(ilk, our_address, dink=Wad.from_number(3), dart=Wad.from_number(153)).transact()
print(f"CDP Dai balance before withdrawal: {mcd.vat.dai(our_address)}")

# Mint and withdraw our Dai
mcd.approve_dai(our_address)
mcd.dai_adapter.exit(our_address, Wad.from_number(153)).transact()
print(f"CDP Dai balance after withdrawal:  {mcd.vat.dai(our_address)}")

# Repay (and burn) our Dai
assert mcd.dai_adapter.join(our_address, Wad.from_number(153)).transact()
print(f"CDP Dai balance after repayment:   {mcd.vat.dai(our_address)}")

# Withdraw our collateral
mcd.vat.frob(ilk, our_address, dink=Wad(0), dart=Wad.from_number(-153)).transact()
mcd.vat.frob(ilk, our_address, dink=Wad.from_number(-3), dart=Wad(0)).transact()
collateral.adapter.exit(our_address, Wad.from_number(3)).transact()
print(f"CDP Dai balance w/o collateral:    {mcd.vat.dai(our_address)}")

Asynchronous invocation of Ethereum transactions

This snippet demonstrates how multiple token transfers can be executed asynchronously:

from web3 import HTTPProvider
from web3 import Web3

from pymaker import Address, synchronize
from pymaker.numeric import Wad
from pymaker.sai import Tub
from pymaker.token import ERC20Token


web3 = Web3(HTTPProvider(endpoint_uri="http://localhost:8545"))

tub = Tub(web3=web3, address=Address('0x448a5065aebb8e423f0896e6c5d525c040f59af3'))
sai = ERC20Token(web3=web3, address=tub.sai())
skr = ERC20Token(web3=web3, address=tub.skr())

synchronize([sai.transfer(Address('0x0101010101020202020203030303030404040404'), Wad.from_number(1.5)).transact_async(),
             skr.transfer(Address('0x0303030303040404040405050505050606060606'), Wad.from_number(2.5)).transact_async()])

Multiple invocations in one Ethereum transaction

This snippet demonstrates how multiple token transfers can be executed in one Ethereum transaction. A TxManager instance has to be deployed and owned by the caller.

from web3 import HTTPProvider
from web3 import Web3

from pymaker import Address
from pymaker.approval import directly
from pymaker.numeric import Wad
from pymaker.sai import Tub
from pymaker.token import ERC20Token
from pymaker.transactional import TxManager


web3 = Web3(HTTPProvider(endpoint_uri="http://localhost:8545"))

tub = Tub(web3=web3, address=Address('0x448a5065aebb8e423f0896e6c5d525c040f59af3'))
sai = ERC20Token(web3=web3, address=tub.sai())
skr = ERC20Token(web3=web3, address=tub.skr())

tx = TxManager(web3=web3, address=Address('0x57bFE16ae8fcDbD46eDa9786B2eC1067cd7A8f48'))
tx.approve([sai, skr], directly())

tx.execute([sai.address, skr.address],
           [sai.transfer(Address('0x0101010101020202020203030303030404040404'), Wad.from_number(1.5)).invocation(),
            skr.transfer(Address('0x0303030303040404040405050505050606060606'), Wad.from_number(2.5)).invocation()]).transact()

Ad-hoc increasing of gas price for asynchronous transactions

import asyncio
from random import randint

from web3 import Web3, HTTPProvider

from pymaker import Address
from pymaker.gas import FixedGasPrice
from pymaker.oasis import SimpleMarket


web3 = Web3(HTTPProvider(endpoint_uri=f"http://localhost:8545"))
otc = SimpleMarket(web3=web3, address=Address('0x375d52588c3f39ee7710290237a95C691d8432E7'))


async def bump_with_increasing_gas_price(order_id):
    gas_price = FixedGasPrice(gas_price=1000000000)
    task = asyncio.ensure_future(otc.bump(order_id).transact_async(gas_price=gas_price))

    while not task.done():
        await asyncio.sleep(1)
        gas_price.update_gas_price(gas_price.gas_price + randint(0, gas_price.gas_price))

    return task.result()


bump_task = asyncio.ensure_future(bump_with_increasing_gas_price(otc.get_orders()[-1].order_id))
event_loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
bump_result = event_loop.run_until_complete(bump_task)

print(bump_result)
print(bump_result.transaction_hash)

Testing

Prerequisites:

This project uses pytest for unit testing. Testing of Multi-collateral Dai is performed on a Dockerized local testchain included in tests\config.

In order to be able to run tests, please install development dependencies first by executing:

pip3 install -r requirements-dev.txt

You can then run all tests with:

./test.sh

By default, pymaker will not send a transaction to the chain if gas estimation fails, because this means the transaction would revert. For testing purposes, it is sometimes useful to send bad transactions to the chain. To accomplish this, set class variable gas_estimate_for_bad_txs in your application. For example:

from pymaker import Transact
Transact.gas_estimate_for_bad_txs = 200000
