Symbiosis Core Smart Contracts Overview
Symbiosis Core Smart Contracts: Overview
The Symbiosis Core Smart Contracts implement the on-chain logic for cross-chain operations. These smart contracts are deployed across all blockchain networks supported by Symbiosis and are fine-tuned to handle requests specific to each network. When the smart contracts process a request, they generate events called Oracle requests. These events contain all the necessary data to execute the next steps of cross-chain operations on other chains and are key triggers for the relayers’ activity.
The Symbiosis protocol has two slightly different sets of smart contracts: Scheme 1.
Let's see what each contract does:
The MetaRouterGateway contract secures the interactions of the MetaRouter contract with users’ ERC20 tokens. Users’ ERC20 tokens should only be approved for this contract.
The MetaRouter contract manages calls to other Symbiosis contracts on one blockchain within a cross-chain operation.
The Portal contract locks and unlocks users' stablecoins during cross-chain operations.
The BridgeV2 contract is a proxy between the Symbiosis Relayers Network and the Synthesis/Portal contracts.
The Synthesis contract mints and burns sTokens during cross-chain operations.
A Symbiosis Octopool is an AMM liquidity pool containing several types of tokens of the same nominal value. For more information, see Symbiosis Octopools.
The MulticallRouter contract manages calls to Symbiosis contracts on on the Symbiosis Host Chain within a cross-chain operation, when the Symbiosis Host Chain isn't the source or destination blockchain of the cross-chain operation.
Symbiosis Routing Contracts document explains how the Core Smart Contracts interact during cross-chain operations.
