@pulsechain/hardhat-msgboard

Test your msgboard interfaces

Hardhat plugin example.

MsgBoard

MsgBoard allows for decentralized, public communication. Each msgboard instance may behave slightly differently quirks, but so long as the basic interface holds true, it can reliably push the ability to run software closer to the individual. One needs to tightly control which process is utilizing msgboard because it will block as it works through and eventually finds a valid hash.

Installation

Import the plugin in your hardhat.config.js:

require("@pulsechain/hardhat-msgboard");

<A description of each extension to the HardhatConfig or to its fields>

This plugin extends the HardhatUserConfig's MsgBoardUserConfig object with an optional msgboard field that is only applicable to the hardhat network.

This is an example of how to set it:

module.exports = {
  msgboard: {
    // only applicable to hardhat network
    enabled: true,
    workMultiplier: 1_000_000n,
    workDivisor: 10_000n,
    messageSizeLimit: 8n * 1024n,
    boardCountLimit: 10_000n,
    blockRangeLimit: 120n,
  },
};

Usage

send messages to the msgboard and read from it

const msg = await hre.msgboard.doWork('0xcategory...', '0xdata...')
