NibiruChain/pricefeeder for the Oracle Module

The pricefeeder is a tool developed for Nibiru's Oracle Module consensus that runs a process to pull data from various external sources and then broadcasts transactions to vote on exchange rates.

Quick Start - Local Development

Configuration for the .env

Running a feeder requires the setting environment variables in your .env in like the following:

CHAIN_ID="nibiru-localnet-0"
GRPC_ENDPOINT="localhost:9090"
WEBSOCKET_ENDPOINT="ws://localhost:26657/websocket"
FEEDER_MNEMONIC="guard cream sadness conduct invite crumble clock pudding hole grit liar hotel maid produce squeeze return argue turtle know drive eight casino maze host"
EXCHANGE_SYMBOLS_MAP='{"bitfinex": {"ubtc:unusd": "tBTCUSD", "ueth:unusd": "tETHUSD", "uusd:unusd": "tUSTUSD"}}'

This would allow you to run pricefeeder using a local instance of the network. To set up a local network, you can run:

git clone git@github.com:NibiruChain/nibiru.git
cd nibiru
git checkout v1.0.3
make localnet

Run

With your environment set to a live network, you can now run the price feeder:

make run

Or, to run the tool as a daemon

1. Build a docker image for use with docker compose.

   make build-docker

2. Run the 'price_feeder' service defined in the docker-compose.yaml.

   make docker-compose up -d price_feeder

Hacking

Connecters for data sources like Binance and Bitfinex are defined in the feeder/priceprovider/sources directory. Each of these sources must implement a FetchPricesFunc function for querying external data.

Build

Builds the binary for the package:

make build

Delegating "feeder" consent

Votes for exhange rates in the Oracle Module are posted by validator nodes, however a validator can give consent a feeder account to post prices on its behalf. This way, the validator won't have to use their validator's mnemonic to send transactions.

In order to be able to delegate consent to post prices, you need to set the VALIDATOR_ADDRESS env variable to the "valoper" address the feeder will represent.

VALIDATOR_ADDRESS="nibivaloper1..."

To delegate consent from a validator node to some feeder address, you must execute a MsgDelegateFeedConsent message:

type MsgDelegateFeedConsent struct {
 Operator string 
 Delegate string
}

This is possible using the set-feeder subcommand of the nibid CLI:

nibid tx oracle set-feeder [feeder-address] --from validator

Enabling TLS

To enable TLS, you need to set the following env vars:

TLS_ENABLED="true"

Configuring specific exchanges

CoinGecko

Coingecko source allows to use paid api key to get more requests per minute. In order to configure it, you need to set env var:

DATASOURCE_CONFIG_MAP='{"coingecko": {"api_key": "0123456789"}}'

Glossary

• Data source: A data source is an external service that provides data. For example, Binance is a data source that provides the price of various assets.
• Symbol: A symbol is a string that represents a pair of assets on an external data source. For example, tBTCUSD is a symbol on Bitfinex that represents the price of Bitcoin in US Dollars.
• Ticker: Synonymous with Symbol. Exchanges generally use the term "ticker" to refer to a symbol.
• Pair: A pair is a combination of two assets recognized by Nibiru Chain. For example, ubtc:uusd is a pair that represents Bitcoin and USD.
