Protocol Token: RATE

The protocol's recapitalization source

1. Summary

The protocol token is a DsDelegateToken that provides logic for burning and authorized minting of new tokens as well as delegation capabilities.

2. Contract Variables & Functions

Variables

• guy - user address

• wad - a quantity of tokens, usually as a fixed point integer with 10^18 decimal places.

• dst - refers to the destination address.

• name - returns the name of the token - e.g. "MyToken".

• symbol - token symbol.

• decimals - returns the number of decimals the token uses.

• totalSupply - returns the total token supply.

• balanceOf(usr: address) - user balance

• delegates(usr: address) - a record of each account's delegate

• checkpoints(usr: address, checkpoint: uint32) - a record of vote checkpoints for each account, by index

• numCheckpoints(usr: address) - the number of checkpoints for each account

• nonces(usr: address) - a record of states for signing / validating signatures

• allowance(src: address, dst: address) - approvals

• balanceOf(usr: address) - returns the account balance of another account with address _owner.

• allowance(src: address, dst: address)- returns the amount which _spender is still allowed to withdraw from _owner.

• DOMAIN_TYPEHASH - the EIP-712 typehash for the contract's domain

• DELEGATION_TYPEHASH - the EIP-712 typehash for the delegation struct used by the contract

Functions

• mint(usr: address, amount: uint256) - mint coins to an address

• burn(usr: address, amount: uint256) - burn at an address

• push(usr: address, amount: uint256) - transfer

• pull(usr: address, amount: uint256)- transfer from

• move(src: address, dst: address, amount: uint256) - transfer from

• approve(usr: address, amount: uint256) - allow pulls and moves

• transfer(dst: address, amount: uint256) - transfers coins from msg.sender to dst

• delegate(delegatee: address) - delegate votes from msg.sender to delegatee

• delegateBySig(delegatee: address, nonce: uint256, expiry: uint256, v: uint8, r: bytes32, s: bytes32) - delegates votes from signatory to delegatee

• getCurrentVotes(account: address) external view returns (uint256) - gets the current votes balance for account

• getPriorVotes(account: address, blockNumber: uint256) public view returns (uint256) - determine the prior number of votes for an account as of a block number

Data Structures

• Checkpoint - stores a checkpoint's data. Contains:

  • fromBlock - the block from which that amount of votes has been marked

  • votes - the amount of votes

Events

• Mint - emitted when new tokens are minted. Contains:

  • guy - the address for which the contract prints tokens

  • wad - the amount of tokens printed

• Burn - emitted when tokens are burned. Contains:

  • guy - the address whose tokens are burned

  • wad - the amount of tokens that were burned

• DelegateChanged - emitted when an address changes its delegate. Contains:

  • delegator - the address that changes its delegate

  • fromDelegate - the old delegate

  • toDelegate - the new delegate

• DelegateVotesChanged - emitted when a delegate account's vote balance changes. Contains:

  • delegate - the delegate account

  • previousBalance - the delegate's previous vote balance

  • newBalance - the delegate's new vote balance

3. Walkthrough

Along with the standard ERC20 token interface, the protocol token also has DSAuth-protected mint and burn functions.
