Rift

A magical Python3 -> TON portal

Rift is a full-stack development framework for TON (The Open Network) that makes it easy for developers to use Python to develop, test, and deploy smart contracts on the TON network. With Rift, you can leverage the simplicity and versatility of Python to build and interact with TON, without having to learn the complexities of FunC or Fift. For examples of how Rift simplifies these processes, visit Rift's website.

Features

• Develop smart contracts using Python syntax and OOP features
• Interact with the TON network to query data and deploy contracts
• Test smart contracts with an easy-to-use testing framework
• Standalone framework that only requires Python 3.10
• Can be used at any stage of the project, from development to testing to deployment

Quick Start

Warning

Rift's stable version is currently in release-candidate state, and we strongly advise thorough testing before transitioning to production. We are still in the process of battle-testing some internal modules, and we anticipate announcing a stable release in the near future. It is advisable to first deploy your contracts to testnet and test them meticulously before making the decision to move to production. Additionally, please verify the FunC contracts generated.

0. Install Python 3.10+
1. Install rift

   pip install rift-framework==1.0.0-rc1
   # or from source
   git clone https://github.com/sky-ring/rift
   cd rift
   pip install -e .

2. Initialize your project:

   rift init <project-name>

3. Develop your contracts in <project>/contracts/
4. Write your tests in <project>/tests/
5. Place your deploy scripts in <project>/deployers/
6. Use rift to build, test, or deploy:

   # in project folder
   # builds TARGET
   rift build TARGET
   # tests TARGET
   rift test TARGET
   # deploys TARGET
   rift deploy TARGET

Roadmap

Milestone 1: Python Framework for Contract Development

• Semi One-to-One Mapping of Functions and Expressions (Base Compiler, Python -> FunC)
• First Higher Layer over the Base Mappings to Simplify Type Calls (leveraging OOP Capabilities)
• Second Higher Layer over the Base, Simplifying Contract Development towards Maximizing Code Reusability and Simplicity (leveraging Meta Programming Capabilities)
• Providing Standard Smart Contracts Implementation with Rift

Milestone 2: Deploying, Testing, Interaction Capabilities

• Simple Interaction Interface with TON Blockchain
• Simple Deploying Options of Developed Contracts
• Testing Framework for the Contracts Developed with Rift

Milestone 3: Launching a Community-Powered Rift

In this milestone, we are thrilled to unveil the stable version of Rift, primed and ready for integration into real-world projects. Our vision is to foster a Rift ecosystem that thrives on the collective intelligence of its community. We are opening doors and creating avenues for our community members to contribute, refine, and evolve Rift. Here are some of the exciting initiatives we have in mind:

• Rift Advancement Proposals (RAPs): A dynamic platform for you to propose and discuss enhancements for Rift. This is your chance to help shape the future of Rift!

• Comprehensive Documentation: We are committed to offering an in-depth, yet user-friendly guide that reveals the full potential of Rift. Explore the inner workings and capabilities of Rift with ease and precision.

• Extensive Example Sets: Gain a deeper understanding of Rift through practical examples that showcase its robust features and functionalities.

• Multi-Contract Testing / Sandbox Integration: Embrace a worry-free testing environment. Experiment, play, and validate your projects with our integrated sandbox feature.

Join us on this thrilling journey, shaping the future of Rift, one milestone at a time. We can't wait to see where your contributions will lead us next!
