Augur Core

Abstract

1. Introduction

Smart contracts for Augur, a decentralized prediction market platform on the Ethereum blockchain.

2. Objective

Augur v1 - Smart Contracts [DEPRECATED]

This project demonstrates how TypeScript, Ethereum, Solidity can be applied to a real-world Blockchain & Cloud Computing problem.

4. Technology Stack

5. System Requirements

General requirements for this technology stack — check the README for exact versions.

• Node.js (LTS) and npm / yarn / pnpm
• VS Code or any code editor
• Node.js and npm
• Hardhat / Truffle / Remix IDE
• MetaMask wallet with a test network
• Git (to clone the repository)

6. Installation & Setup

git clone https://github.com/AugurProject/augur-core.git
cd augur-core

1. Parity HTTP RPC will be available on localhost port 47622.
2. Geth HTTP RPC will be available on localhost port 47624.
3. An abundant supply of ETH is available using the private key 0xfae42052f82bed612a724fec3632f325f377120592c75bb78adfcceae6470c5a.
4. The log output will let you know what the address of the various Augur contracts are.
5. Main Code
6. source/libraries/ContractCompiler.ts - All logic for compiling contracts, generating ABI
7. source/libraries/ContractDeployer.ts - All logic for uploading, initializing, and whitelisting contracts, generating addresses and block number outputs.
8. Configuration

docker-compose -f source/support/test/integration/docker-compose-[geth/parity].yml up --build --force-recreate

npm install npx
npm install
pip install -r requirements.txt

Full setup instructions are in the project README.

7. Future Enhancements

Suggested extensions you can add to make this your own project.

• Add a CI/CD pipeline with GitHub Actions
• Deploy to a public test network or cloud free tier
• Add monitoring and cost alerts

8. Viva / Review Questions

Common questions examiners ask for projects in this domain.

1. Why does this problem need a blockchain or cloud-native design?
2. Explain the smart contract / infrastructure components and how they interact.
3. How are gas costs or cloud costs kept under control?
4. How is the system secured (keys, IAM, access control)?
5. How would the solution scale to many more users?
