## Rollup
Instead of calling `DAO.initiateValidationPool()`, a contract can call `Rollup.addItem()`.
We demonstrate this by extending our base `Work` contract as `RollableWork`.
Our work contract normally triggeres a validation pool when the customer submits work approval. Instead, the fee and worker availability stakes are transferred to the `Rollup` contract.
The `Rollup` contract itself uses the `Availability` contract to assign a batch worker. This worker is responsible for making sure off-chain pools are conducted.
When ready, the worker submits the current batch on-chain by calling `DAO.addPost()` to create a batch post and then calling `Rollup.submitBatch()`, which initiates a validation pool targeting the batch post.

## Local development setup
Clone this repository to a directory on your machine
git clone https://gitea.dgov.io/DGF/dgf-prototype
### Nginx
1. Install nginx
brew install nginx
1. Install mkcert
brew install mkcert
1. Install root CA
mkcert -install
1. Create a certificate
mkcert dgfprototype.dev
1. Create certificates directory
sudo mkdir /etc/nginx/certs
1. Move the certificate to the certificates directory
sudo mv dgfprototype.*.pem /etc/nginx/certs/
1. Add the following to the `http` section of `/etc/nginx/nginx.conf`
map $http_upgrade $connection_upgrade {
default upgrade;
'' close;
}
1. Add the following to a new file `/etc/nginx/sites-available/dgfprototype_dev`
server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name dgfprototype.dev;
ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/certs/dgfprototype.dev.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/certs/dgfprototype.dev-key.pem;
location /api/ {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3003/;
}
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:3002/;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
}
}
1. Create a symbolic link in `sites-enabled/`
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/dgfprototype_dev /etc/nginx/sites-enabled
1. Restart nginx
sudo systemctl restart nginx
or
sudo brew services restart nginx
1. Edit `/etc/hosts` to add the domain alias
127.0.0.1 dgfprototype.dev
### API
1. In a new terminal window, navigate to `dgf-prototype/backend`
1. Install the project
npm install
1. Copy the example configuration file
cp .env.example .env
1. Edit `.env` and set the following values
PORT=3003
1. Create the data directory
mkdir data
1. Run the daemon
node src/index.js
### Hardhat
1. In a new terminal window, navigate to `dgf-prototype/ethereum`
1. Install the project
npm install
1. Copy the example configuration file
cp .env.example .env
1. In `.env`, set a value for `SEED_PHRASE` or `LOCAL_PRIVATE_KEY`
1. Run a hardhat node
npx hardhat node
1. In a separate terminal window, navigate again to `dgf-prototype/ethereum`
1. Build and deploy the contracts
npm run deploy-local
### Metamask
1. Install the Metamask extension in your browser
1. In the Metamask extension, click the list of networks in the top left, and click "Add Network"
1. At the bottom of the list of popular networks, click "Add a network manually"
- Network name: Hardhat local
- RPC URL: http://127.0.0.1:8545/
