Zodiac bots

Provides notifications for Zodiac proposals and votes.

Installation

1. Clone the repository
2. Copy the .env.example file to .env and fill in the details.
3. Fill the appropriate instructions for your installation method.

Using docker-compose

Requirements:

• Docker 26
• Docker Compose 2.23

Execute docker compose up bot. If you do not have a database instance, running docker compose up bot-dev instead will start the bot with an ephemeral one.

Run locally without supervisor

Requirements:

• Node 20
• Yarn 4

1. Ensure that you have loaded the environment variables in your .env file.
2. Install the dependencies executing yarn.
3. Perform a yarn wagmi:generate to retrieve the ABIs.
4. Execute yarn build.
5. Run bin/start.sh yarn bot:run.

Development

The .env.example file contains a configuration that makes the dev services defined in docker compose work out of the box. Only tokens/keys are omitted.

Useful services (and how to start them) with docker compose:

• docker compose up bot: Starts the bot without any dependency. You are responsible for starting them manually.
• docker compose up bot-dev: Starts the bot with a PostgreSQL database and HardHat instance.
• docker compose up tests: Starts the dependencies and runs the test suite, showing a coverage report at the end.

Useful command for local execution:

• yarn build:
• yarn bot:run: Executes the bot.
• yarn test: Executes the tests.
• yarn wagmi:generate: Downloads the ABIs, required for running the bot and tests.
• yarn drizzle:generate: Creates a new migration using Drizzle-Kit.
• yarn drizzle:migrate: Ensures the database is up-to-date and applies migrations otherwise.

It is recommended to prefix bin/start.sh to the yarn tasks for bot and tests execution. The start.sh script ensures your environment variables are correctly configured, the dependant services are running and the migrations are applied before running whatever command is passed.

Configuration

This section outlines the environment variables required for the application. Below are the variables, their descriptions, examples, and default values.

Required Environment Variables

Variable	Description	Example
SPACES	Spaces to monitor. At least one required.	kleros.eth:3000000,1inch.eth:6000000
DB_URI	Postgres connection string	postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/dbname
MAINNET_RPC_URL	Provider URL for the Ethereum mainnet RPC	https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/8238211010344719ad14a89db874158c

• SPACES format: Comma separated list of spaces to follow. The spaces are defined by the ENS, starting block and (optionally) the Reality module contract address. These three values should be colon separated (ens:block or ens:block:reality_module_address). When the reality module address is not provided, the bot tries to auto-detect it. Examples:
  • 1inch.eth:19475120: Defines space 1inch.eth starting at block 19475120.
  • shutterdao0x36.eth:20190728:0x6eaB9b5c4Be8F66fC8efb0FdF256FC9143344885: Defines space shutterdao0x36.eth starting at block 20190728 with the Reality module contract address set to 0x6eaB9b5c4Be8F66fC8efb0FdF256FC9143344885.

Optional Environment Variables

Debugging and Performance

Variable	Description	Example	Default
DB_DEBUG	Print SQL queries to console	true	false
MAX_BLOCKS_BATCH_SIZE	Max blocks to process in a batch	3000	200
BATCH_COOLDOWN	Wait time in milliseconds before processing next batch	60000	200
SNAPSHOT_GRAPHQL_URL	Snapshot GraphQL API endpoint	https://hub.snapshot.org/graphql	https://hub.snapshot.org/graphql

Heartbeats

Heartbeats are periodic GET requests performed against an endpoint to indicate that the service is alive.

Variable	Description	Example	Default
HEARTBEAT_URL	URL that will receive the GET request	https://instrumentation.keros.io/hooks/zodiac
HEARTBEAT_INTERVAL	Interval in milliseconds between requests	1000	60000

Transports Configuration

For the bot being functional you should enable at least one transport, but all of them are optional and can be combined as desired. Transports are enabled when all the environment variables without default fallback are present with a valid value.

Slack Transport

Variable	Description	Example	Default
SLACK_WEBHOOK	Slack Webhook URL	https://hook.slack.com/services/T00000000/B00000000/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

More information about how to obtain a Webhook URL can be found in the Slack documentation.

Telegram Transport

Variable	Description	Example	Default
TELEGRAM_TOKEN	Telegram API Token	4839574812:AAFD39kkdpWt3ywyRZergyOLMaJhac60qc
TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID	Identifier of the chat	-1002037333689

The Telegram docs explains how to obtain a token. For the ChatID there are several strategies, some can be found in this gist and its comment section.

Email Transport

Variable	Description	Example	Default
SMTP_HOST	Hostname or IP of the SMTP server	smtp.server.com
SMTP_PORT	Port for SMTP server	465	465
SMTP_USER	Username	kleros
SMTP_PASSWORD	Password	kleros
SMTP_FROM	Sender email address	[email protected]
SMTP_TO	Recipient email address	[email protected]

SMTP_TO allows multiples entries separated by commas. Entries can be defined using one of the following formats:

• Simple emails ([email protected]), which will receive notifications for all the spaces.
• Space-scoped emails (kleros.eth:[email protected]), which will receive only notifications for the provided space (in the example above, kleros.eth).
