System Contract

The System Contract on ZetaChain serves as the caller for universal apps when they are called from connected chains.

The onlySystem modifier must be applied to the onCrossChainCall function to ensure that only the system contract can call this function.

Useful values and functions in the system contract:

  • wZetaContractAddress: wrapped ZETA address.
  • uniswapv2Router02Address: address of the Uniswap v2 router, which powers the internal liquidity pools.
  • uniswapv2FactoryAddress: address of the Uniswap v2 factory.
  • gasZetaPoolByChainId: returns a pool address of ZETA and a gas token of the specified chain.
  • gasCoinZRC20ByChainId: returns a ZRC-20 address of the gas token of the specified chain.
  • gasPriceByChainId: helper to estimate gas for transactions on connected chains.
  • zetaConnectorZEVMAddress: address of the connector contract. (please, note that the connector contract will be deprecated in the future)

The system contract is inherited from ZetaChain, making it easily accessible from your universal app contract:

pragma solidity 0.8.7;
 
import "@zetachain/protocol-contracts/contracts/zevm/interfaces/IZRC20.sol";
import "@zetachain/protocol-contracts/contracts/zevm/interfaces/zContract.sol";
 
contract YourContract is zContract {
    function onCrossChainCall(
        zContext calldata context,
        address zrc20,
        uint256 amount,
        bytes calldata message
    ) external virtual override {
        // systemContract.gasCoinZRC20ByChainId(context.chainID)
    }
}

To get the system contract address in a client-side application or script, use the getAddress function:

import { getAddress } from "@zetachain/protocol-contracts";
 
const SYSTEM_CONTRACT = getAddress("systemContract", "zeta_testnet");
