⚠️ Following library has been renamed from redstone-smartweave to warp-contracts from version 1.0.0! If you are using older version please read README-LEGACY.
Warp SDK is the implementation of the SmartWeave Protocol.
It works in both web and Node.js environment (requires Node.js 16.5+).
If you are interested in the main assumptions for Warp ecosystem as well as its key features go visit our website.
- Development
- Warp transaction lifecycle
PRs are welcome! :-) Also, feel free to submit issues - with both bugs and feature proposals. In case of creating a PR - please use semantic commit messages.
SDK requires node.js version 16.5+.
npm install warp-contracts
yarn add warp-contracts
You can import the full API or individual modules.
The SDK is available in both the ESM and CJS format - to make it possible for web bundlers (like webpack) to effectively perform tree-shaking.
ESM
import * as WarpSdk from 'warp-contracts';
import { Warp, Contract, ... } from 'warp-contracts'
CJS
const Warp = require('warp-contracts');
const { Warp, Contract, ... } = require('warp-contracts');
Bundle files are possible to use in web environment only. Use minified version for production. It is possible to use latest or specified version.

To properly initialize Warp you can use one of three methods available in WarpFactory class which simplifies the process of creating Warp.
Creates a Warp instance suitable for testing in a local environment (e.g. with a use of a ArLocal instance).
warp = WarpFactory.forLocal();
Default parameters (each of them can be adjusted to your needs):
port
- set to1984
arweave
- Arweave initialized withhost
set tolocalhost
,port
set to defaultport
from p. 1 andprotocol
set tohttp
cacheOptions
- optional cache options parameter, by defaultinMemory
cache is set totrue
Creates a Warp instance suitable for testing with Warp testnet.
warp = WarpFactory.forTestnet();
Default parameters (each of them can be adjusted to your needs):
arweave
- Arweave initialized withhost
set totestnet.redstone.tools
,port
set to443
andprotocol
set tohttps
cacheOptions
- optional cache options parameter, by defaultinMemory
cache is set tofalse
Creates a Warp instance suitable for use with mainnet. By default, the Warp gateway is being used for:
- deploying contracts
- writing new transactions through Warp Sequencer
- loading contract interactions
warp = WarpFactory.forMainnet();
Default parameters (each of them can be adjusted to your needs):
cacheOptions
- optional cache options parameter, by defaultinMemory
cache is set tofalse
useArweaveGw
- defaults tofalse
, if set totrue
-arweave.net
gateway is used for deploying contracts, writing and loading interactionsarweave
- Arweave initialized withhost
set toarweave.net
,port
set to443
andprotocol
set tohttps
Allows to fully customize Warp
instance.
warp = WarpFactory.custom(
arweave,
{
...defaultCacheOptions,
inMemory: true
},
'testnet'
)
.useArweaveGateway()
.setInteractionsLoader(loader)
.build();
No default parameters are provided, these are the parameters that you can adjust to your needs:
arweave
- initializes ArweavecacheOptions
- optional cache options parameterenvironment
- environment in which Warp will be initialized
custom
method returns preconfigured instance of Warp
- WarpBuilder
which can be customized, the configuration is finished with build
method.
WarpEnvironment
is a helper type which can be used in scripts etc. to determine in which environment Warp has been initialized.
Possible options:
'local' | 'testnet' | 'mainnet' | 'custom';
if (warp.environment == 'mainnet') {
...
}
Deploys contract to Arweave. By default, deployment transaction is bundled and posted on Arweave using Warp Sequencer. If you want to deploy your contract directly to Arweave - disable bundling by setting disableBundling
to true
.
async function deploy(contractData: ContractData, disableBundling?: boolean): Promise<ContractDeploy>;
Example
const { contractTxId, srcTxId } = await warp.deploy({
wallet,
initState: initialState,
data: { 'Content-Type': 'text/html', body: '<h1>HELLO WORLD</h1>' },
src: contractSrc,
tags
});
Deploys contract from source transaction. By default deployment transaction is bundled and posted on Arweave using Warp Sequencer. If you want to deploy your contract directly to Arweave - disable bundling by setting disableBundling
to true
.
async function deployFromSourceTx(
contractData: FromSrcTxContractData,
disableBundling?: boolean
): Promise<ContractDeploy>;
Example
const { contractTxId, srcTxId } = await warp.deployFromSourceTx({
wallet,
initState: initialState,
srcTxId: 'SRC_TX_ID'
});
Uses Warp Gateway's endpoint to upload raw data item to Bundlr and index it.
Example
const { contractTxId } = await warp.deployBundled(rawDataItem);
Uses Warp Gateway's endpoint to index a contract which has already been uploaded to Bundlr.
Example
const { contractTxId } = await warp.register(bundlrId, bundlrNode);
connect(signer: ArWallet | SigningFunction): Contract<State>;
Allows to connect wallet to a contract. Connecting a wallet MAY be done before "viewState" (depending on contract implementation, ie. whether called contract's function required "caller" info) Connecting a wallet MUST be done before "writeInteraction".
signer
- JWK object with private key, 'use_wallet' string or custom signing function.
Example
const contract = warp.contract('YOUR_CONTRACT_TX_ID').connect(jwk);
function setEvaluationOptions(options: Partial<EvaluationOptions>): Contract<State>;
Allows to set EvaluationOptions that will overwrite current configuration.
Example
const contract = warp.contract('YOUR_CONTRACT_TX_ID').setEvaluationOptions({
waitForConfirmation: true,
ignoreExceptions: false
});
import { SortKeyCacheResult } from './SortKeyCache';
async function readState(
sortKeyOrBlockHeight?: string | number,
currentTx?: { contractTxId: string; interactionTxId: string }[]
): Promise<SortKeyCacheResult<EvalStateResult<State>>>;
Returns state of the contract at required blockHeight or sortKey. Similar to the readContract
from the version 1.
sortKeyOrBlockHeight
- either a sortKey or block height at which the contract should be readcurrentTx
- if specified, will be used as a current transaction
Example
const { sortKey, cachedValue } = await contract.readState();
async function viewState<Input, View>(
input: Input,
blockHeight?: number,
tags?: Tags,
transfer?: ArTransfer
): Promise<InteractionResult<State, View>>;
Returns the "view" of the state, computed by the SWC - ie. object that is a derivative of a current state and some specific smart contract business logic. Similar to the interactRead
from the current SDK version.
input
the interaction inputblockHeight
if specified the contract will be replayed only to this block heighttags
an array of tags with name/value as objectstransfer
target and winstonQty for transfer
Example
const { result } = await contract.viewState<any, any>({
function: "NAME_OF_YOUR_FUNCTION",
data: { ... }
});
async function dryWrite<Input>(
input: Input,
caller?: string,
tags?: Tags,
transfer?: ArTransfer
): Promise<InteractionResult<State, unknown>>;
A dry-write operation on contract. It first loads the contract's state and then creates a "dummy" transaction and applies the given Input on top of the current contract's state.
input
- input to be applied on the current contract's statetags
- additional tags to be added to interaction transactiontransfer
- additional transfer data to be associated with the "dummy" transactioncaller
- an option to override the caller - if available, this value will overwrite the caller evaluated from the wallet connected to this contract.
Example
const result = await contract.dryWrite({
function: "NAME_OF_YOUR_FUNCTION",
data: { ... }
});
async function writeInteraction<Input = unknown>(
input: Input,
options?: WriteInteractionOptions
): Promise<WriteInteractionResponse | null>;
Writes a new "interaction" transaction - i.e. such transaction that stores input for the contract.
input
the interaction inputoptions
- an object with some custom options (see WriteInteractionOptions)
By default write interaction transactions are bundled and posted on Arweave using Warp Sequencer. If you want to post transactions directly to Arweave - disable bundling by setting options.disableBundling
to true
.
Example
const result = await contract.writeInteraction({
function: "NAME_OF_YOUR_FUNCTION",
data: { ... }
});
async function evolve(newSrcTxId: string, options?: WriteInteractionOptions): Promise<WriteInteractionResponse | null>;
Allows to change contract's source code, without having to deploy a new contract. This method effectively evolves the contract to the source. This requires the save
method to be called first and its transaction to be confirmed by the network.
newSrcTxId
- result of thesave
method call.options
- an object with some custom options (see WriteInteractionOptions)
By default evolve interaction transactions are bundled and posted on Arweave using Warp Sequencer. If you want to post transactions directly to Arweave - disable bundling by setting options.disableBundling
to true
.
Example
const result = await contract.evolve('srcTxId');
Allows to save contract source on Arweave. Currently, using bundler to save the source is not possible.
async function save(
contractSource: SourceData,
signer?: ArWallet | SigningFunction,
useBundler?: boolean
): Promise<string | null>;
Example
const newSrcTxId = await contract.save({ src: newSource });
WASM provides proper sandboxing ensuring execution environment isolation which guarantees security to the contracts execution. As for now - Assemblyscript, Rust and Go languages are supported. WASM contracts templates containing example PST contract implementation within tools for compiling contracts to WASM, testing, deploying (locally, on testnet and mainnet) and writing interactions are available in a dedicated repository.
Using SDKs' methods works exactly the same as in case of a regular JS contract.
Additionally, it is possible to set gas limit for interaction execution in order to e.g. protect a contract against infinite loops. Defaults to Number.MAX_SAFE_INTEGER
(2^53 - 1).
contract = smartweave.contract(contractTxId).setEvaluationOptions({
gasLimit: 14000000
});
It is possible to provide an isolated execution environment also in the JavaScript implementation thanks to VM2 - a sandbox that can run untrusted code with whitelisted Node's built-in modules. It works only in a NodeJS environment and it enhances security at a (slight) cost of performance, so it should be used it for contracts one cannot trust.
In order to use VM2, set useVM2
evaluation option to true
(defaults to false
).
contract = warp.contract(contractTxId).setEvaluationOptions({
useVM2: true
});
SmartWeave protocol currently natively does not support writes between contract - contracts can only read each others' state. This lack of interoperability is a big limitation for real-life applications - especially if you want to implement features like staking/vesting, disputes - or even a standard approve/transferFrom flow from ERC-20 tokens.
SmartWeave protocol has been extended in Warp by adding internal writes feature.
A new method has been added to SmartWeave global object. It allows to perform writes on other contracts.
const result = await SmartWeave.contracts.write(contractTxId, { function: 'add' });
The result
of the internal write contains the result type (ok
, error
, exception
) and the most current state
of the callee contract (i.e. after performing a write).
If the function called by the SmartWeave.contracts.write
throws an error, the parent transaction throws a ContractError
by default - so there is no need to manually check the result of the internal write.
In order for internal calls to work you need to set evaluationOptions
to true
:
const callingContract = smartweave
.contract<ExampleContractState>(calleeTxId)
.setEvaluationOptions({
internalWrites: true
})
.connect(wallet);
A more detailed description of internal writes feature is available here.
A list of real life examples are available here.
You can also perform internal read to the contract (originally introduced by the protocol):
await SmartWeave.contracts.readContractState(action.input.contractId);
unsafeClient
is available to use on Smartweave
global object. It gives access to whole Arweave
instance.
Example of usage:
const result = await SmartWeave.unsafeClient.transactions.getData('some_id);
However, we do not recommend using it as it can lead to non-deterministic results. Therefore, we do not support it by default in Warp. If you want to use it anyway, you need to explicitely set EvaluationOptions.allowUnsafeClient
flag to true
.
Warp uses LevelDB to cache the state. During the state evaluation, state is then evaluated only for the interactions that the state hasn't been evaluated yet. State is being cached per transaction and not per block height.
The reason behind that caching per block height is not enough if multiple interactions are at the same height and two contracts interact with each other.
The LevelDB is a lexicographically sorted key-value database - so it's ideal for this use case - as it simplifies cache look-ups (e.g. lastly stored value or value "lower-or-equal" than given sortKey). The cache for contracts are implemented as sub-levels.
The default location for the node.js cache is ./cache/warp
.
In the browser environment Warp uses IndexedDB to cache the state - it's a low-level API for client-side storage. The default name for the browser IndexedDB cache is warp-cache.
In order to reduce the cache size, the oldest entries are automatically pruned.
It is possible to use the in-memory cache instead by setting cacheOptions.inMemory
to true
while initializing Warp. inMemory
cache is used by default in local environment.
You can also supply your own implementation of the SortKeyCache
interface and use them as a state and contracts cache.
In order to use custom implementation call either useStateCache
or useContractCache
on warp
instance.
An example - LMDB - implementation is available here.
All contracts have access to a global object SmartWeave
. It provides access to additional API for getting further information or using utility and crypto functions from inside the contracts execution. It also allows to interact with other contracts and read other contracts states.
List of available options:
-
transaction informations:
- SmartWeave.transaction.id
- SmartWeave.transaction.owner
- SmartWeave.transaction.tags
- SmartWeave.transaction.quantity
- SmartWeave.transaction.reward
-

-
extensions - additional
SmartWeave
options which can be for example injected through dedicated plugins (an example of such inwarp-contracts-plugins
repository).
A dedicated CLI which eases the process of using main methods of the Warp SDK library has been created. Please refer to warp-contracts-cli
npm page for more details.
It is possible to customize fetch
options using dedicated plugin. In order to change fetch
options one needs to create an implementation of WarpPlugin interface. process
method will receive following properties:
interface FetchRequest {
input: RequestInfo | URL;
init: Partial<RequestInit>;
}
...and it should return updated fetch
options (by returning updated init
object). An example of such implementation in src/tools/fetch-options-plugin.ts.
In order to use this plugin, it needs to be attached while creating Warp
instance, e.g.:
const warp = WarpFactory.forMainnet().use(new FetchOptionsPlugin());
- Mainnet
This is how you would intiialize Warp 'the old way':
const warp = WarpNodeFactory.memCachedBased(arweave).build();
or - for browser:
const warp = WarpNodeFactory.memCachedBased(arweave).build();
Now, you just need to initialize it like so:
const warp = WarpFactory.forMainnet();
If you want to use Arweave
gateway instead of default Warp
gateway, go with a custom configuration:
const warp = WarpFactory.custom(
arweave,
{
...defaultCacheOptions
},
'mainnet'
)
.useArweaveGateway()
.build();
- RedStone public testnet
Previously, you would intialize Warp in testnet environment exactly like you would initialize Warp in mainnet, you would just need to set correct Arweave instance. Now the process is simplified:
warp = WarpFactory.forTestnet();
- ArLocal
This is how you would intialize it previously:
warp = WarpNodeFactory.forTesting(arweave);
Now:
warp = WarpFactory.forLocal();
Remember that you are always allowed to initialize Warp depending on your needs by using custom
factory method.
If you've been using Knex based cache you can now easily migrate your sqlite database to levelDB. Just use our migration tool, set correct path to your sqlite database in this line:
const result = await warp.migrationTool.migrateSqlite('./tools/sqlite/contracts-3008.sqlite');
...and run the script:
yarn ts-node -r tsconfig-paths/register tools/migrate.ts
-
the type of the result of the readState has changed: https://github.com/warp-contracts/warp#readstate
-
the
bundleInteraction
method has been removed. The SDK now decides automatically how the transaction should be posted (based on the environment - i.e. whether the warp instance has been created for mainnet, testnet or local env). -
the internalWrite, if the write itself fails, now throws the
ContractError
by default. There's no longer need to manually check the result of the write inside the contract code (and throw error manually if result.type != 'ok'). If you want to leave the check in the contract code - set the
.setEvaluationOptions({
throwOnInternalWriteError: true
});
- The warp instance now contains info about the environment - https://github.com/warp-contracts/warp#warpenvironment . This might be useful for writing deployment scripts, etc.
- if the
warp
instance was obtained viaWarpFactory.forLocal
(which should be used for local testing with ArLocal), then:
- you can use
warp.generateWallet()
for generating the wallet - it returns both the jwk and wallet address - example. - you can use
warp.testing.mineBlock()
to manually mine ArLocal blocks - the ArLocal blocks are mined automatically after calling
.writeInteraction
. This can be switched off by settingevaluationOptions.mineArLocalBlocks
tofalse
- example.
We've created an academy that introduces to the process of writing your own SmartWeave contract from scratch and describes how to interact with it using Warp SDK.
The example usages with different web bundlers and in Node.js env are available here.
A community package - arweave-jest-fuzzing has been released thanks to Hansa Network to help SmartWeave developers write fuzzy tests.
Warp gateway bundles transactions underneath. Please refer to Bundled contract and Bundled interaction docs to read the specification.
Warp SDK is just part of the whole Warp smart contracts platform. It makes transactions processing and evaluation easy and effective.
-
Our Sequencer assigns order to SmartWeave interactions, taking into account sequencer’s timestamp, current Arweave network block height and is salted with sequencer’s key.
-
Interactions are then packed by Bundlr which guarantees transactions finality and data upload reliability. The ability to directly process rich content
-
Transactions are stored on Arweave where they are available for querying.
-
The key component for the lazy-evaluation nature of SmartWeave protocol is fast and reliable interaction loading. Thanks to our gateway we guarantee loading transactions in seconds in a reliable way - it has built-in protection against forks and corrupted transactions. Our gateway enables fast queries and efficient filtering of interactions, which in effect greatly reduces state evaluation time.
-
Lastly, transactions can be evaluated either by our SDK or the evaluation can be delegated to a distribution execution network - a dedicated network of nodes (DEN). Multi-node executors network listens to incoming transactions and automatically update contract state.
