Project Overview

SoroTask is a decentralized automation marketplace built on Soroban (Stellar's smart contract platform). It enables users to:

Schedule recurring tasks (e.g., yield harvesting, DeFi automation)
Create task dependencies and complex workflows
Set conditional execution via resolver contracts
Incentivize a network of Keepers to execute tasks reliably

Key Statistics

3 Main Components: Smart Contract (Rust), Keeper Bot (Node.js), Frontend Dashboard (Next.js)
6 Major Features: Calendar UX, Task Dependencies, Gas Forecasting, Polling Engine, Dead-Letter Queue, Security
35+ Components: React components, utilities, and hooks
50+ Utility Functions: Date handling, timezone conversion, calendar helpers
Comprehensive Documentation: 10+ technical documents
Production-Ready: Docker support, environment configuration, health checks

Core Components

1. Smart Contract (Rust/Soroban)

Location: /contract

Core Functionality

Task Registration: register(TaskConfig) - Create new scheduled tasks
Task Execution: execute(keeper_address, task_id) - Execute due tasks
Task Retrieval: get_task(task_id) - Query task configuration
Event Emission: Task execution events for off-chain monitoring

TaskConfig Structure

pub struct TaskConfig {
    pub creator: Address,           // Task creator
    pub target: Address,            // Target contract to execute
    pub function: Symbol,           // Function name to call
    pub args: Vec<Val>,             // Function arguments
    pub resolver: Option<Address>,  // Optional condition contract
    pub interval: u64,              // Execution interval (seconds)
    pub last_run: u64,              // Timestamp of last execution
    pub gas_balance: i128,          // Available gas budget
    pub whitelist: Vec<Address>,    // Whitelisted keepers (empty = public)
    pub blocked_by: Vec<u64>,       // Task IDs this task depends on
}

Advanced Features

XDR Encoding/Decoding: Full support for Soroban contract data serialization
Error Handling: 11 distinct error types with proper error codes
Fuzz Testing: cargo-fuzz integration for property-based testing
Gas Optimization: View calls for read operations (no fee consumption)

Supported Error Types

Invalid interval (0 seconds)
Missing whitelist authorization
Execution not yet due
Task not found
Self-dependency error
Circular dependency detection
Blocking dependencies not satisfied

Testing

Cargo Tests: Unit tests for all core functions
Fuzz Targets: Property-based testing for register() and execute()
Test Snapshots: Expected outputs for regression testing
Coverage: All critical paths tested

2. Keeper Bot (Node.js)

Location: /keeper

Main Features

Task Polling Engine

Schedule Evaluation: Determines due tasks using last_run + interval <= current_timestamp
Concurrent Polling: Configurable parallel task reads (default: 10)
Gas Balance Checking: Skips tasks with insufficient gas
Concurrency Management: Two-level control (read and execution limits)
Error Resilience: Graceful degradation on network/parsing errors

Core Logic:

// Task is due when:
last_run + interval <= current_ledger_timestamp

// Example:
// last_run: 1000, interval: 3600, current: 5000
// next_run: 1000 + 3600 = 4600
// 4600 <= 5000 → TASK IS DUE

Gas Budget Forecasting

Rolling History: Tracks up to 100 execution cost samples per task
Statistical Analysis: Calculates mean, median, std dev, p95, p99, min, max
Individual Forecasts: Per-task gas predictions with confidence levels
Aggregate Forecasting: Groups forecasts by time windows
Risk Assessment: Detects underfunded conditions
Confidence Levels: Distinguishes high-confidence (≥5 samples) vs low-confidence forecasts

File: keeper/src/gasForecaster.js (387 lines)

Dead-Letter Queue (DLQ)

Failure Tracking: Monitors repeated failures within configurable windows
Auto-Quarantine: Isolates problematic tasks to prevent resource waste
Configurable Thresholds: Default 5 failures within 1 hour triggers quarantine
Diagnostic Data: Stores failure reasons and task state for debugging

Configuration Options:

DLQ_MAX_FAILURES=5                    # Failures before quarantine
DLQ_FAILURE_WINDOW_MS=3600000         # Time window (1 hour)
DLQ_AUTO_QUARANTINE=true              # Enable auto-quarantine
DLQ_MAX_RECORDS=1000                  # Max DLQ records stored

Health Check System

HTTP Health Endpoint: GET /health returns service status
Metrics Endpoint: GET /metrics exposes Prometheus-compatible metrics
Graceful Shutdown: SIGTERM/SIGINT handlers for clean termination
Startup Validation: Verifies required configuration before starting

Metrics & Monitoring

Prometheus Metrics:
- keeper_tasks_polled - Total tasks checked
- keeper_tasks_executed - Successful executions
- keeper_tasks_failed - Failed executions
- keeper_forecast_underfunded_tasks - Tasks with insufficient gas
- keeper_forecast_high_confidence - High-confidence forecasts
- keeper_forecast_low_confidence - Low-confidence forecasts
- keeper_forecast_risk_level - Current risk level (0-2)

Docker Deployment

Multi-Stage Build: Optimized container image (Alpine-based)
Volume Mounts: Persistent data storage for execution locks
Health Checks: Docker health monitoring built-in
Auto-Restart: Configurable restart policy
Port Exposure: Health and metrics on port 3001

Docker Compose Example:

2. Execution Flow:
   Keeper → Poll Due Tasks → Check Dependencies/Conditions
         → Execute Target Contract → Record Results → Update State

3. Forecasting Flow:
   Execute Task → Record Gas Cost → Update Statistics
             → Generate Forecast → Detect Underfunded Tasks

4. Monitoring Flow:
   Keeper → Emit Metrics → Prometheus → Grafana/Dashboards
        → Health Check → HTTP Endpoint → Health Monitoring
