Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when you need to work locally with Alpaca Finance's leveraged yield-farming contracts for BNB Chain or Fantom, rather than use a consumer-facing farming interface.
Who it is for
- Developers inspecting Alpaca Finance's leveraged yield-farming contracts.
- Developers compiling or running the repository's documented contract tests.
Documented uses
- Set up the repository's local dependencies.
- Compile the Solidity contracts.
- Run tests with Hardhat or Forge.
Requirements & limits
The repository is public and identifies MIT as its primary license, with specified Business Source License 1.1 exceptions and unlicensed test files.
- The README assumes Node.js 14 or later and uses Yarn for dependency installation.
- The README warns that generated typechain/index.ts may require duplicate-line removal.
- Hardhat and Forge are documented as separate ways to run tests.
- License terms vary for the specified Single Asset LYF and Delta Neutral Vault files; the tests directory is stated to be unlicensed.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Install dependencies and compile the contracts
Prepare the repository's local development dependencies and compile its contracts.
Before you start
- Node.js 14 or later
- The repository and its .env.example file
- Yarn
Steps
Copy .env.example to a file named .env in the project folder.
Run yarn to install dependencies.
Run yarn compile.
If the generated typechain/index.ts contains duplicate lines, remove those lines as the README instructs.
Expected outcome
The repository's contracts are compiled, with the README noting that compilation generates a typechain folder.
Guide limitations
- The README warns that duplicate lines in typechain/index.ts may need manual removal before proceeding.
- This guide covers local compilation, not deployment.
Run the documented contract tests
Run the repository's tests using either Hardhat or Forge.
Before you start
- The repository's dependencies installed as described in its README
- For the Forge route, Foundry tools installed using the README's instructions
Steps
For Hardhat, run yarn test.
Alternatively, install Foundry using the documented foundryup installation steps.
Run forge test for the Forge route.
Expected outcome
The selected test command runs the repository's documented test suite.
Guide limitations
- The README does not describe test coverage or guarantee that tests pass in a particular environment.
- The tests directory is stated to be unlicensed.
