## Revised Document: Substrate-Aleo Bridge with AIMBC-Bridge Pallet and CLI Tool ### Introduction This document outlines the process to create a parachain using Polkadot-SDK, develop the `aimbc-bridge` pallet, and build a CLI tool for Substrate-Aleo bridging via XCM. ### Part 1: Parachain Setup with Polkadot-SDK #### A. Substrate Core Components - **substrate-core**: Essential for consensus, networking, and database functionalities. - **sp-runtime**: Houses runtime libraries for state transitions. - **substrate-frame**: Framework for constructing Substrate pallets. #### B. XCM and XCMP Integration - **pallet-xcm**: Facilitates cross-consensus messaging. - **cumulus-pallet-xcmp-queue**: Manages cross-chain message queues. #### C. Off-Chain Workers and Utilities - **substrate-offchain-primitives**: Handles off-chain tasks. - **serde/serde_json**: Libraries for data serialization. #### Directory Structure ```plaintext substrate-node-template/ ├── pallets/ │ └── aimbc-bridge/ │ ├── Cargo.toml │ └── src/ ├── runtime/ │ └── src/ └── node/ └── src/ ``` ### Part 2: AIMBC-Bridge Pallet Development #### A. Pallet Setup - **Cargo.toml**: Configuration for dependencies. - **lib.rs**: Implementation of pallet logic. #### B. Core Functionalities - Token transfer: Dispatchable function to move tokens. - Offchain Worker: Handles XCM messages off-chain. ### Part 3: CLI Tool Development #### A. Setup and Dependencies - **Cargo.toml**: Required Rust dependencies. - **main.rs**: Main function with command-line parsing. #### B. Transaction Submission - Function to submit transactions via HTTP to Substrate. #### C. Directory Structure ```plaintext aimbc-bridge-cli/ ├── Cargo.toml └── src/ └── main.rs ``` ### Part 4: Security and Validation - Implement cryptographic practices and rigorous input validation. ### Part 5: Testing and Documentation - Conduct unit and integration tests. - Provide detailed documentation and user guides. ### Part 6: XCM and XCMP Messaging #### A. Testing Substrate and XCM Functionality - Set up a local Substrate environment and test parachain. - Connect the parachain to a local Polkadot testnet. - Send and receive XCM messages, observing and documenting the process. ### Part 7: Pallet Files #### A. `Cargo.toml` - Defines the pallet's dependencies. #### B. `lib.rs` - Contains the pallet's main logic. #### C. `tests.rs` - Houses unit tests for the pallet. #### D. `weights.rs` - Defines weights for dispatchable functions. #### E. `mock.rs` - Sets up a mock runtime environment for testing. #### F. `benchmarking.rs` - Framework for benchmarking dispatchable functions. ### Conclusion This document provides a comprehensive guide for developing a bridge between Substrate and Aleo, detailing each component and its functionalities. It is intended to be adapted and expanded based on project requirements and ecosystem updates. ### References - [Polkadot-SDK GitHub](https://github.com/paritytech/polkadot-sdk) - [XCM Docs GitHub](https://github.com/paritytech/xcm-docs) ---
