Creating a Multi-Sig Wallet in Solidity

A multi-signature (multi-sig) wallet is like a safe that needs multiple keys to open. It is a smart contract that stores cryptocurrency and needs permission from many parties in order to conduct transactions. We'll explore building a multi-sig wallet with Ethereum today, utilising the well-liked Hardhat development environment. Creating a multi-sig wallet requires significant expertise in smart contract development.

Prerequisites

  1. A basic understanding of Solidity and Ethereum.
  2. Node.js is installed on your machine.
  3. Hardhat is installed globally using the command: npm install -g hardhat.

Setting Up Hardhat

  1. To initiate a new task, open a terminal window, type npx hardhat, and then follow the prompts to create a new project.
  2. Installing Dependencies: Inside your project directory, install the necessary npm packages with:
    bash
npm install @nomiclabs/hardhat-waffle ethereum-waffle chai @nomiclabs/hardhat-ethers ethers

Writing the Multi-Sig Wallet Smart Contract

  1. Create a new file called MultiSigWallet.sol in the contracts folder.
  2. Paste the below code
// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.20;
contract MultiSigWallet {
event Deposit(address indexed sender, uint amount, uint balance);
event SubmitTransaction(
address indexed owner,
uint indexed txIndex,
address indexed to,
uint value,
bytes data
);
event ConfirmTransaction(address indexed owner, uint indexed txIndex);
event RevokeConfirmation(address indexed owner, uint indexed txIndex);
event ExecuteTransaction(address indexed owner, uint indexed txIndex);
address[] public owners;
mapping(address => bool) public isOwner;
uint public numConfirmationsRequired;
struct Transaction {
address to;
uint value;
bytes data;
bool executed;
uint numConfirmations;
}
// mapping from tx index => owner => bool
mapping(uint => mapping(address => bool)) public isConfirmed;
Transaction[] public transactions; modifier onlyOwner() {
require(isOwner[msg.sender], "not owner");
_;
}
modifier txExists(uint _txIndex) {
require(_txIndex < transactions.length, "tx does not exist");
_;
}
modifier notExecuted(uint _txIndex) {
require(!transactions[_txIndex].executed, "tx already executed");
_;
}
modifier notConfirmed(uint _txIndex) {
require(!isConfirmed[_txIndex][msg.sender], "tx already confirmed");
_;
}
constructor(address[] memory _owners, uint _numConfirmationsRequired) {
require(_owners.length > 0, "owners required");
require(
_numConfirmationsRequired > 0 &&
_numConfirmationsRequired <= _owners.length,
"invalid number of required confirmations"
);
for (uint i = 0; i < _owners.length; i++) {
address owner = _owners[i];
require(owner != address(0), "invalid owner");
require(!isOwner[owner], "owner not unique");
isOwner[owner] = true;
owners.push(owner);
}
numConfirmationsRequired = _numConfirmationsRequired;
}
receive() external payable {
emit Deposit(msg.sender, msg.value, address(this).balance);
}
function submitTransaction(
address _to,
uint _value,
bytes memory _data
) public onlyOwner {
uint txIndex = transactions.length;
transactions.push(
Transaction({
to: _to,
value: _value,
data: _data,
executed: false,
numConfirmations: 0
})
);
emit SubmitTransaction(msg.sender, txIndex, _to, _value, _data);
}
function confirmTransaction(
uint _txIndex
) public onlyOwner txExists(_txIndex) notExecuted(_txIndex) notConfirmed(_txIndex) {
Transaction storage transaction = transactions[_txIndex];
transaction.numConfirmations += 1;
isConfirmed[_txIndex][msg.sender] = true;
emit ConfirmTransaction(msg.sender, _txIndex);
}
function executeTransaction(
uint _txIndex
) public onlyOwner txExists(_txIndex) notExecuted(_txIndex) {
Transaction storage transaction = transactions[_txIndex];
require(
transaction.numConfirmations >= numConfirmationsRequired,
"cannot execute tx"
);
transaction.executed = true; (bool success, ) = transaction.to.call{value: transaction.value}(
transaction.data
);
require(success, "tx failed");
emit ExecuteTransaction(msg.sender, _txIndex);
}
function revokeConfirmation(
uint _txIndex
) public onlyOwner txExists(_txIndex) notExecuted(_txIndex) {
Transaction storage transaction = transactions[_txIndex];
require(isConfirmed[_txIndex][msg.sender], "tx not confirmed"); transaction.numConfirmations -= 1;
isConfirmed[_txIndex][msg.sender] = false;
emit RevokeConfirmation(msg.sender, _txIndex);
}
function getOwners() public view returns (address[] memory) {
return owners;
}
function getTransactionCount() public view returns (uint) {
return transactions.length;
}
function getTransaction(
uint _txIndex
)
public
view
returns (
address to,
uint value,
bytes memory data,
bool executed,
uint numConfirmations
)
{
Transaction storage transaction = transactions[_txIndex];
return (
transaction.to,
transaction.value,
transaction.data,
transaction.executed,
transaction.numConfirmations
);
}
}

Compiling Your Smart Contract:

  • In your terminal, run npx hardhat compile.

Contract Details

Contract Setup

  • Defined using pragma solidity ^0.8.20; to specify the Solidity compiler version.
  • contract SecureMultiWallet { … } initiates the contract definition.

Event Definitions

  • Events such as FundsDeposited, TransactionSubmitted, TransactionConfirmed, ConfirmationRevoked, and TransactionExecuted are defined to emit logs for significant actions within the contract.

State Variables

  • authorizedUsers is an array to track wallet signatories.
  • isAuthorized is a mapping to quickly verify if an address is authorized.
  • requiredApprovals specifies the number of approvals needed to execute a transaction.
  • pendingTransactions is an array to store all proposed transactions.
  • hasConfirmed is a nested mapping to keep track of approvals per transaction.

Struct Definition

  • PendingTransaction struct is defined to hold information about each proposed transaction.

Modifiers

  • onlyAuthorized ensures the function is called by an authorized user.
  • transactionExists checks if the transaction ID exists.
  • notYetExecuted checks if the transaction has not been executed yet.
  • notYetConfirmed checks if the transaction has not already been approved by the caller.

Constructor

  • The constructor initializes the contract with a list of authorized users and the required number of approvals.

Fallback Function

  • The receive function allows the contract to accept ether and emits a FundsDeposited event.

Transaction Management Functions

  • addTransaction: Allows an authorized user to propose a new transaction.
  • approveTransaction: Allows an authorized user to approve a proposed transaction.
  • runTransaction: Allows an authorized user to execute a transaction once the required number of approvals have been met.
  • retractApproval: Allows an authorized user to retract their approval from a proposed transaction.

View Functions

  • listUsers: Allows anyone to query the list of authorized users.
  • countTransactions: Allows anyone to query the total number of proposed transactions.
  • fetchTransaction: Allows anyone to query details of a specific transaction by its ID.
