Existing Consumer Deployments

What You'll Learn

  • How to find and interact with deployed consumer contracts
  • Available blockchain networks with consumer contract deployments
  • Process for deploying consumer contracts to additional chains
  • Resources for exploring existing Allora Network topics

Overview

Where deployments on supported chains can be found.

Why Use Existing Deployments?

Benefits of leveraging deployed contracts:

  • Ready-to-use infrastructure: No deployment overhead or setup complexity
  • Tested reliability: Proven contracts with established track records
  • Cost efficiency: Avoid deployment gas costs and development time
  • Community validation: Contracts used and validated by other developers

Deployed Consumer Contracts

Supported Networks

You can find the deployed consumer contracts by looking at the latest saved deployments in the repository:

Ethereum Sepolia Testnet

  • Network: Sepolia (opens in a new tab)
  • Purpose: Testing and development environment
  • Benefits: Free testnet tokens for experimentation
  • Use case: Prototype development and integration testing

Arbitrum One Mainnet

  • Network: Arbitrum One (opens in a new tab)
  • Purpose: Production-ready Layer 2 solution
  • Benefits: Lower gas costs and faster transactions
  • Use case: Production deployments and high-frequency applications

Contract Verification

Deployment Verification:

  • Source code: All contracts are verified on their respective block explorers
  • Transparency: Review contract functionality before interaction
  • Security: Audit contract code for security considerations
  • Compatibility: Ensure contract interfaces match your integration needs

Extending to Additional Chains

Custom Deployment Process

If you would like to deploy to an additional chain not listed above, you can learn how to do so here.

When to Deploy to New Chains:

  • Network requirements: Target blockchain not currently supported
  • Custom modifications: Need contract changes for specific use cases
  • Geographic considerations: Regional blockchain preferences
  • Cost optimization: More favorable gas costs on alternative networks

Deployment Considerations:

  • Gas costs: Evaluate deployment and operational costs
  • Network security: Assess blockchain maturity and decentralization
  • Developer tooling: Availability of debugging and monitoring tools
  • Community support: Active developer community and documentation

Network Topics and Resources

Available Topics

Existing Allora Appchain Topics can be found here.

Topic Integration Strategy:

  • Review active topics: Understand available inference categories
  • Assess data quality: Evaluate prediction accuracy and reliability
  • Match use cases: Align topic data with your application needs
  • Monitor performance: Track topic activity and participant engagement

Integration Planning

Development Workflow:

  1. Explore existing topics: Review available inference categories and data
  2. Select target networks: Choose between testnet (development) and mainnet (production)
  3. Integrate with deployed contracts: Use existing contracts for rapid development
  4. Test thoroughly: Validate integration functionality before production use

Getting Started with Existing Deployments

Development Phase

Testnet Integration:

  • Start with Sepolia: Use the testnet deployment for initial development
  • Test all functionality: Validate inference retrieval and processing
  • Monitor gas usage: Optimize transaction patterns for cost efficiency
  • Debug edge cases: Handle network delays and data availability issues

Production Deployment

Mainnet Migration:

  • Deploy to Arbitrum One: Use the production-ready Layer 2 deployment
  • Implement monitoring: Track contract interactions and performance
  • Plan for scaling: Design for increased usage and data volume
  • Establish fallbacks: Prepare contingency plans for network issues

Best Practices

Security Considerations

Safe Integration Guidelines:

  • Verify contract addresses: Always double-check deployment addresses
  • Test with small amounts: Start with minimal value transactions
  • Monitor for updates: Stay informed about contract upgrades or changes
  • Implement rate limiting: Avoid overwhelming the network with requests

Performance Optimization

Efficiency Strategies:

  • Batch requests: Group multiple inference queries when possible
  • Cache responses: Store frequently accessed data to reduce network calls
  • Optimize gas usage: Use efficient transaction patterns and timing
  • Monitor latency: Track response times and adjust accordingly

Prerequisites

  • Smart contract interaction knowledge: Understanding of blockchain transactions and contract calls
  • Web3 development tools: Familiarity with libraries like ethers.js or web3.js
  • Network configuration: Ability to connect to different blockchain networks
  • Gas management: Understanding of transaction fees and optimization
