9 Malicious NuGet Packages Deliver Time-Delayed Destructive Payloads
Socket researchers discovered nine malicious NuGet packages that use time-delayed payloads to crash applications and corrupt industrial control systems.
@api3/contracts
Advanced tools
Contracts through which Api3 services are delivered
This package provides the tools to integrate data feeds that can be found at the Api3 Market. The typical workflow is as follows:
computeCommunalApi3ReaderProxyV1Address()) to validate the proxy addresses being usedA more complete list of what this package includes is as follows:
@typechain/ethers-v6 typings of these contractsWe have conducted 10+ audits of our contracts and their off-chain components. Below are the reports of the ones that are directly related to the contracts in this repo (or in some cases, earlier versions of them).
For bug reports, contact security@api3.org
The most common type of change would be adding or updating a chain. This can be done by creating or editing the relevant JSON file in the data/chains/ directory.
If any changes are made to chains, you will need to "regenerate" the chains. This will compile all of the JSON files into a single TypeScript file for projects to import. Please check the Developer instructions section for more information on how to do this.
The list of TypeScript chains is also validated against all of the list of JSON files to ensure that everything is in sync.
NOTE: You will not be able to push changes to chains without having regenerated the TypeScript chains.
Install the dependencies and build
pnpm i && pnpm build
Test the contracts, get coverage and gas reports
pnpm test
pnpm test:extended
# Outputs to `./coverage`
pnpm test:coverage
# Outputs to `gas_report`
pnpm test:gas
Generate the latest CHAINS array and outputs the file to src/generated/chains.ts
pnpm generate:chains
Generate the latest DAPPS array and outputs the file to src/generated/dapps.ts
pnpm generate:dapps
Generate deployment addresses for all chains and outputs the file to src/generated/deployments.ts
pnpm generate:deployment-addresses
Generate all of the above files in one go
pnpm generate
Check the local files containing metadata
pnpm check
Verify that the vendor contracts are identical to the ones from their respective packages.
pnpm verify-vendor-contracts
Verify the deployments and validate their current state
# on all chains
pnpm verify-deployments
# or a single chain
NETWORK=ethereum pnpm verify-deployments
# on all chains
pnpm validate-deployments
# or a single chain
NETWORK=ethereum pnpm validate-deployments
The following variables/functions are exported from this package
The single source of truth for the list of supported chains.

Computes the dApp ID for a given dApp alias and chain ID. This function is unsafe because it does not validate the inputs, so it should only be used when the inputs are guaranteed to be correct.
import { unsafeComputeDappId } from '@api3/contracts';
const dappId = unsafeComputeDappId('dtrinity', '252');
console.log(dappId);
/*
16210721173577624589952893185091679941657223823840386808143855919126917477566n
*/
Computes the Api3ReaderProxyV1 address for a given chain ID, dAPI name, dApp ID and metadata.
import { computeApi3ReaderProxyV1Address } from '@api3/contracts';

const address = computeCommunalApi3ReaderProxyV1Address('1', 'ETH/USD');
console.log(address);
/*
0x5b0cf2b36a65a6BB085D501B971e4c102B9Cd473
*/
Computes the dApp-specific Api3ReaderProxyV1 address for a given dApp alias, chain ID, and dAPI name. This function is useful for retrieving the proxy address for a specific dApp on a specific chain.
import { computeDappSpecificApi3ReaderProxyV1Address } from '@api3/contracts';
const address = computeDappSpecificApi3ReaderProxyV1Address('dtrinity', '252', 'BTC/USD');

Returns an object that can be used as the blockscout field of hardhat.config.js (requires the hardhat-etherscan plugin).
It includes a customChains field that includes all chains that support Blockscout contract verification API.
import { hardhatConfig } from '@api3/contracts';
console.log(hardhatConfig.blockscout());
/*
{
enabled: true,
customChains: [
...
]
}
*/
Returns an object where the key is each chain's alias and the value is an object that can be used as the networks field of hardhat.config.js.
The default url values can be overridden with chain specific environment variables. These environment variables take the form of HARDHAT_HTTP_RPC_URL_${toUpperSnakeCase(chain.alias)}. e.g. HARDHAT_HTTP_RPC_URL_ARBITRUM_SEPOLIA_TESTNET.
import { hardhatConfig } from '@api3/contracts';
console.log(hardhatConfig.networks());
/*
{
"arbitrum-sepolia-testnet": {
accounts: { mnemonic: '' },
chainId: '421614',
url: 'https://...',
},
...
}
*/
Returns an object that can be used as the etherscan field of hardhat.config.js (requires the hardhat-etherscan plugin).
It includes an apiKey field that can be set through the ETHERSCAN_API_KEY environment variable. And a customChains field that includes all chains that support Etherscan V2 contract verification API.
import { hardhatConfig } from '@api3/contracts';
console.log(hardhatConfig.etherscan());
/*
{
apiKey: someApiKey,
customChains: [
...
]
}
*/
Returns an API key required for Etherscan V2 contract verification API and a single MNEMONIC variable that can be used to configure all networks.
import { hardhatConfig } from '@api3/contracts';
console.log(hardhatConfig.getEnvVariableNames());
/*
[
'MNEMONIC',
'ETHERSCAN_API_KEY',
'HARDHAT_HTTP_RPC_URL_APECHAIN_ARBITRUM_SEPOLIA_TESTNET',
...
]
*/
Returns an array of chains in the format that Viem expects. Each Chain object can be used to create a Viem public client.
Additional rpcUrls values can (optionally) be added through the use of environment variables. These environment variables take the form of API3_CHAINS_HTTP_RPC_URL_${toUpperSnakeCase(chain.alias)}. If a matching environment variable is detected for a given chain, then it will be added to the http array of the rpcUrls.environment object. If no matching environment variable is detected, then the http array is left empty.
import { viemConfig } from '@api3/contracts';
console.log(viemConfig.chains());
/*
[
{
id: 421613,
name: 'arbitrum-sepolia-testnet',
network: 'arbitrum-sepolia-testnet',
rpcUrls: { default: ..., public: ..., environment: ... }
...
},
...
]

Types exported in src/types.ts are generated from zod schemas, which are also used to validate each chain. Contract-related types generated by TypeChain can be found in typechain-types after building the project.
This CLI provides utility commands for calculating dApp IDs and retrieving important on-chain information such as proxy addresses.
Prints the dApp-specific Api3ReaderProxyV1 address for a given dApp alias and chain ID.
npx @api3/contracts print-api3readerproxyv1-address --dapp-alias lendle --chain-id 5000 --dapi-name ETH/USD
Computes the dApp ID for a given dApp alias and chain ID.
npx @api3/contracts compute-dapp-id --dapp-alias mach-finance --chain-id 146
Releasing new versions is handled automatically with changesets. Pull requests should include a changeset file before being merged.
These can be generated by running pnpm changeset and following the instructions. Once a new version is ready to be released, simply merge main into the production
branch. Changeset files will be consolidated into a single new version and that version released to npm.
More information is contained in the Api3 guidelines.
