Core Contracts
There are currently 7 core smart contracts that are always deployed on each chain. These are responsible for the vital functions of the chain and provide infrastructure for all other smart contracts:
-
root
: Responsible for the initialization of the chain, maintains registry of deployed contracts. -
accounts
: Manages the on-chain ledger of accounts. -
blob
: Responsible for the registry of binary objects of arbitrary size. -
blocklog
: Keeps track of the blocks and receipts of requests that were processed by the chain. -
governance
: Handles the administrative functions of the chain. For example: rotation of the committee of validators of the chain, fees and other chain-specific configurations. -
errors
: Keeps a map of error codes to error messages templates. These error codes are used in request receipts. -
evm
: Provides the necessary infrastructure to accept Ethereum transactions and execute EVM code.
