Lido Depositor bot

Description

Depositor and pauser bots are parts of Deposit Security Module.

The Depositor Bot obtains signed deposit messages from Council Daemons. Once a sufficient number of messages is collected to constitute a quorum, the bot proceeds to initiate a deposit into the designated staking module. This deposit is executed using the depositBufferedEther function within the "DepositSecurityModule" smart contract.

Direct deposit is a mechanism that allows depositors to use side vault facilities for deposits. This process transfers ETH from the vault and facilitates the deposit to specified in side vault staking module, preventing funds from being stuck in the withdrawal queue.

The Pauser Bot obtains pause message from Council Daemon and enacts pause deposits on protocol. Pause can occurs when Lido detects stealing.

The Unvetting Bot obtains unvet message from Council Daemon and enacts unvet on the specified node operator. Unvetting is the proces of decreasing approved depositable signing keys.

Development

Install

git clone [email protected]:lidofinance/depositor-bot.git
cd depositor-bot
poetry install

To run bot

poetry run python main depositor

poetry run python main pauser

poetry run python main unvetter

Tests

Run unit tests

poetry run pytest tests -m unit

Run integration tests.

Install Anvil

poetry run pytest tests -m integration

In case of "command not found: anvil" error, provide ANVIL_PATH variable

export ANVIL_PATH='pathto/anvil'

Release flow

To create a new release:

1. Merge all changes to the main branch.
2. After the merge, the Prepare release draft action will run automatically. When the action is complete, a release draft is created.
3. When you need to release, go to Repo → Releases.
4. Publish the desired release draft manually by clicking the edit button - this release is now the Latest Published.
5. After publication, the action to create a release bump will be triggered automatically.
