Common configuration

name description value
COMMON_HOME_RPC_URL The HTTPS URL(s) used to communicate to the RPC nodes in the Home network. Several URLs can be specified, delimited by spaces. If the connection to one of these nodes is lost the next URL is used for connection. URL(s)
COMMON_FOREIGN_RPC_URL The HTTPS URL(s) used to communicate to the RPC nodes in the Foreign network. Several URLs can be specified, delimited by spaces. If the connection to one of these nodes is lost the next URL is used for connection. URL(s)
COMMON_HOME_BRIDGE_ADDRESS The address of the bridge contract address in the Home network. It is used to listen to events from and send validators' transactions to the Home network. hexidecimal beginning with "0x"
COMMON_FOREIGN_BRIDGE_ADDRESS The address of the bridge contract address in the Foreign network. It is used to listen to events from and send validators' transactions to the Foreign network. hexidecimal beginning with "0x"
COMMON_HOME_GAS_PRICE_SUPPLIER_URL The URL used to get a JSON response from the gas price prediction oracle for the Home network. The gas price provided by the oracle is used to send the validator's transactions to the RPC node. Since it is assumed that the Home network has a predefined gas price (e.g. the gas price in the Core of POA.Network is 1 GWei), the gas price oracle parameter can be omitted for such networks. URL
COMMON_HOME_GAS_PRICE_SPEED_TYPE Assuming the gas price oracle responds with the following JSON structure: {"fast": 20.0, "block_time": 12.834, "health": true, "standard": 6.0, "block_number": 6470469, "instant": 71.0, "slow": 1.889}, this parameter specifies the desirable transaction speed. The speed type can be omitted when COMMON_HOME_GAS_PRICE_SUPPLIER_URL is not used. instant / fast / standard / slow
COMMON_HOME_GAS_PRICE_FALLBACK The gas price (in Wei) that is used if both the oracle and the fall back gas price specified in the Home Bridge contract are not available. integer
COMMON_HOME_GAS_PRICE_FACTOR A value that will multiply the gas price of the oracle to convert it to gwei. If the oracle API returns gas prices in gwei then this can be set to 1. Also, it could be used to intentionally pay more gas than suggested by the oracle to guarantee the transaction verification. E.g. 1.25 or 1.5. integer
COMMON_FOREIGN_GAS_PRICE_SUPPLIER_URL The URL used to get a JSON response from the gas price prediction oracle for the Foreign network. The provided gas price is used to send the validator's transactions to the RPC node. If the Foreign network is Ethereum Foundation mainnet, the oracle URL can be: https://gasprice.poa.network. Otherwise this parameter can be omitted. URL
COMMON_FOREIGN_GAS_PRICE_SPEED_TYPE Assuming the gas price oracle responds with the following JSON structure: {"fast": 20.0, "block_time": 12.834, "health": true, "standard": 6.0, "block_number": 6470469, "instant": 71.0, "slow": 1.889}, this parameter specifies the desirable transaction speed. The speed type can be omitted when COMMON_FOREIGN_GAS_PRICE_SUPPLIER_URLis not used. instant / fast / standard / slow
COMMON_FOREIGN_GAS_PRICE_FALLBACK The gas price (in Wei) used if both the oracle and fall back gas price specified in the Foreign Bridge contract are not available. integer
COMMON_FOREIGN_GAS_PRICE_FACTOR A value that will multiply the gas price of the oracle to convert it to gwei. If the oracle API returns gas prices in gwei then this can be set to 1. Also, it could be used to intentionally pay more gas than suggested by the oracle to guarantee the transaction verification. E.g. 1.25 or 1.5. integer

Oracle configuration

name description value
ORACLE_BRIDGE_MODE The bridge mode. The bridge starts listening to a different set of events based on this parameter. NATIVE_TO_ERC / ERC_TO_ERC / ERC_TO_NATIVE
ORACLE_ALLOW_HTTP_FOR_RPC Only use in test environments - must be omitted in production environments.. If this parameter is specified and set to yes, RPC URLs can be specified in form of HTTP links. A warning that the connection is insecure will be written to the logs. yes / no
ORACLE_HOME_RPC_POLLING_INTERVAL The interval in milliseconds used to request the RPC node in the Home network for new blocks. The interval should match the average production time for a new block. integer
ORACLE_FOREIGN_RPC_POLLING_INTERVAL The interval in milliseconds used to request the RPC node in the Foreign network for new blocks. The interval should match the average production time for a new block. integer
ORACLE_HOME_GAS_PRICE_UPDATE_INTERVAL An interval in milliseconds used to get the updated gas price value either from the oracle or from the Home Bridge contract. integer
ORACLE_FOREIGN_GAS_PRICE_UPDATE_INTERVAL The interval in milliseconds used to get the updated gas price value either from the oracle or from the Foreign Bridge contract. integer
ORACLE_QUEUE_URL RabbitMQ URL used by watchers and senders to communicate to the message queue. Typically set to: amqp://127.0.0.1. local URL
ORACLE_REDIS_URL Redis DB URL used by watchers and senders to communicate to the database. Typically set to: redis://127.0.0.1:6379. local URL
ORACLE_HOME_START_BLOCK The block number in the Home network used to start watching for events when the bridge instance is run for the first time. Usually this is the same block where the Home Bridge contract is deployed. If a new validator instance is being deployed for an existing set of validators, the block number could be the latest block in the chain. integer
ORACLE_FOREIGN_START_BLOCK The block number in the Foreign network used to start watching for events when the bridge instance runs for the first time. Usually this is the same block where the Foreign Bridge contract was deployed to. If a new validator instance is being deployed for an existing set of validators, the block number could be the latest block in the chain. integer
ORACLE_LOG_LEVEL Set the level of details in the logs. trace / debug / info / warn / error / fatal
ORACLE_MAX_PROCESSING_TIME The workers processes will be killed if this amount of time (in milliseconds) is elapsed before they finish processing. It is recommended to set this value to 4 times the value of the longest polling time (set with the HOME_POLLING_INTERVAL and FOREIGN_POLLING_INTERVAL variables). To disable this, set the time to 0. integer
ORACLE_VALIDATOR_ADDRESS_PRIVATE_KEY The private key of the bridge validator used to sign confirmations before sending transactions to the bridge contracts. The validator account is calculated automatically from the private key. Every bridge instance (set of watchers and senders) must have its own unique private key. The specified private key is used to sign transactions on both sides of the bridge. hexidecimal without "0x"
ORACLE_VALIDATOR_ADDRESS The public address of the bridge validator hexidecimal with "0x"
ERC20_TOKEN_ADDRESS address of token for ERC-TO-ERC type of bridge hexidecimal with "0x"
