Overview

The Nex Cross-Chain Model is designed to:

• Facilitate secure and trustless asset transfers across different blockchain networks.
• Support interoperability for decentralized applications.
• Leverage advanced cryptographic techniques and oracles to ensure data integrity and security.

Features

• Multi-Chain Support: Compatible with major blockchains like Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Polygon.
• Security: Utilizes cryptographic proofs and decentralized oracles for trustless communication.
• Scalability: Designed for high throughput and low-latency cross-chain operations.
• Extensibility: Easily integrate additional chains and functionalities.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed:

• Foundry: A toolkit for Ethereum development.
• Node.js (optional, for auxiliary tools).
• Access to RPC URLs for the blockchains you want to test with.

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/nexlabs22/Nex-Cross-Chain-Model.git
   cd Nex-Cross-Chain-Model

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   forge install

3. Build the project:

   forge build

Configuration

1. Create a .env file in the root directory and populate it with the following:

   RPC_URL_MAINNET=<Your Mainnet RPC URL>
   RPC_URL_TESTNET=<Your Testnet RPC URL>
   PRIVATE_KEY=<Your Wallet Private Key>

2. Update configuration files if needed to match your blockchain network setup.

Usage

Deploy the contracts to your desired network:

forge script script/Deploy.s.sol --rpc-url <RPC_URL> --private-key <PRIVATE_KEY> --broadcast

Integrate the cross-chain functionality into your dApp by importing and utilizing the deployed contracts.

Testing

Run the test suite:

forge test

Use the -vvv flag for verbose output:

forge test -vvv

Test Environment

The test cases simulate cross-chain scenarios using mock oracles and relayers. Ensure your .env file contains the necessary configuration for testing.
