Architecture

The eight contracts are divided into three logical layers:

Burning Flow (ACBU → Fiat or S-tokens)

User
 │
 │  1. Transfer ACBU to BurningContract
 ▼
BurningContract
 │  2. Query currency/USD rate      ──────────────► OracleContract
 │  3. Verify reserves sufficient   ──────────────► ReserveTrackerContract

 │  5b. Fiat redemption:
 │       emit BurnEvent             ──────────────► Off-chain withdrawal processor
 │  6. Emit BurnEvent
 ▼
User receives S-tokens or fiat (via backend)

Oracle Rate Update Flow

External Data Sources (e.g. Chainlink, Pyth, CEX APIs)
 │
 │  Each validator submits an independent rate
 ▼
OracleContract.update_rate()  (validator-gated, multisig-authorized)
 │
 │  1. Verify caller is a registered validator
 │  2. Check update interval has elapsed
 │  3. Store new rate from this validator
 │  4. Compute median across ≥3 validator submissions
 │  5. Outlier detection: reject if >3% deviation from median
 │  6. Emergency path: if move >5%, require N-of-M validator consensus
 │  7. Emit RateUpdateEvent (or EmergencyBypassEvent)
 ▼
Consumers: MintingContract, BurningContract, ReserveTrackerContract

Reserve Verification Flow

Admin / Custodian
 │
 │  1. Submit reserve attestation (Merkle proof of off-chain reserves)
 ▼
ReserveTrackerContract
 │  2. Verify proof and custodian identity
 │  3. Update reserve balances per currency
 │  4. Cross-check value_usd against Oracle rates   ──► OracleContract
 ▼
MintingContract / BurningContract
 │  5. Call is_sufficient() before each mint or burn
 │     → Ensures reserve_usd ≥ acbu_supply × min_ratio
 ▼
Gate: transaction proceeds only if reserves are adequate

Savings Vault Flow

User
 ├─► deposit(amount)          ──► SavingsVault stores balance + timestamp
 ├─► lock(amount, term)       ──► SavingsVault records lock period, higher rate
 └─► withdraw(amount)         ──► SavingsVault calculates accrued interest,
                                   transfers principal + interest to user

Lending Pool Flow

Lender
 └─► deposit(amount)          ──► LendingPool records lender liquidity

Borrower + Lender (dual authorization)
 └─► borrow(lender, amount)   ──► LendingPool transfers ACBU to borrower,
                                   records LoanData (uncollateralized)

Borrower
 └─► repay(loan_id, amount)   ──► LendingPool transfers ACBU back,
                                   updates loan balance

Lender
 └─► withdraw(amount)         ──► LendingPool transfers principal + interest

    ▼                           ▼
release_escrow()          cancel_escrow()
    │                           │
    ▼                           ▼
Beneficiary receives ACBU   Creator refunded

Multisig Authorization Flow

Proposer (any signer)
 └─► propose(action, params)   ──► MultisigContract stores proposal + nonce

Signers (M-of-N required)
 └─► approve(proposal_id)      ──► MultisigContract records approvals

Any signer (once threshold met)
 └─► execute(proposal_id)      ──► MultisigContract dispatches admin action
                                    to target contract (e.g. add_validator,
                                    set_fee_rate, upgrade contract)

Contract Interaction Patterns

Cross-Contract Calls (Read)

Caller	Callee	Method	Purpose
MintingContract	OracleContract	get_acbu_usd_rate	ACBU/USD rate for mint calculation
MintingContract	OracleContract	get_rate	Per-currency rate for basket mints
MintingContract	ReserveTracker	is_sufficient	Reserve adequacy check before mint
BurningContract	OracleContract	get_rate	Per-currency rate for burn payout
BurningContract	ReserveTracker	is_sufficient	Reserve adequacy check before burn
ReserveTracker	OracleContract	get_rate	Validate reserve value_usd integrity
ReserveTracker	ACBU Token	total_supply	Compare supply against reserves

Cross-Contract Calls (Write / Token Transfers)

Caller	Callee	Action	Direction
MintingContract	ACBU Token	mint(user, amount)	Creates new ACBU
BurningContract	ACBU Token	burn(user, amount)	Destroys ACBU
BurningContract	S-Token Vault	transfer_from(vault, user)	Vault allowance pull model
MintingContract	USDC Token	receive deposit (push model)	User pushes USDC in advance

Authorization Matrix

Contract	Admin actions gated by	Validator actions gated by
OracleContract	Multisig (timelock)	Validator allowlist
ReserveTracker	Multisig (timelock)	Custodian address
MintingContract	Multisig (timelock)	Operator address
BurningContract	Multisig (timelock)	n/a
SavingsVault	Admin address	n/a
LendingPool	Admin address	n/a
EscrowContract	Admin address	n/a
MultisigContract	M-of-N signers	n/a

Shared Library Dependencies

All contracts import from the shared crate:

shared/
├── ContractError       — common error enum
├── CurrencyCode        — currency type (e.g. "USD", "NGN")
├── RateData            — oracle rate struct
├── ReserveData         — reserve balance struct
├── reentrancy_guard    — re-entrancy protection helper
├── MintEvent           — standardised mint event type
├── BurnEvent           — standardised burn event type
└── constants           — DECIMALS, BASIS_POINTS, MAX_VALIDATORS, …

Prerequisites

• Rust 1.88.0 (pinned in rust-toolchain.toml)
• wasm32-unknown-unknown target (rustup target add wasm32-unknown-unknown)
• Soroban CLI (cargo install --locked soroban-cli)
• Stellar account with XLM for deployment fees

Vendored WASM Artifact

The file soroban_token_contract.wasm at the repository root is a vendored dependency — it is committed to the repo and required at compile time by the minting, burning, and reserve-tracker contracts via contractimport!. Its SHA-256 integrity is verified automatically by build.rs during every cargo build.

Fresh clones receive this file via git clone. If it is ever missing or corrupted, build.rs will attempt to re-fetch it automatically via scripts/fetch_token_wasm.sh. You can also run the fetch script manually:

./scripts/fetch_token_wasm.sh

Building

# Build all contracts in the workspace
make build
# or
cargo build

# Build a specific contract
make build-minting

You can use the Makefile for common commands. Run make help to see all targets.

Testing

# Run all tests in the workspace
make test

# Run tests for a specific contract
make test-minting

Deployment

Testnet

export STELLAR_SECRET_KEY="your-secret-key"
make deploy-testnet

Mainnet

export STELLAR_SECRET_KEY="your-secret-key"
make deploy-mainnet

Git Hooks Setup

After cloning, run:

make setup-hooks

This configures the pre-commit hook for WASM integrity checks.

Contract Addresses

After deployment, contract addresses are saved to .soroban/deployment_{network}.json

Adding a New Contract

1. Create contract directory: mkdir new_contract
2. Add to workspace Cargo.toml members
3. Create Cargo.toml and src/lib.rs
4. Update deployment scripts

Security

• All admin functions require multisig (3 of 5)
• Rate limits on transactions
• Circuit breakers for anomalies
• Time locks for critical operations
