Introduction

What is Furnis?

• Furnis is an on-chain interaction command station designed for smart contract developers and blockchain teams.

• Furnis enables users to orchestrate, organize, and manage their blockchain transactions, including smart contract deployments and interactions.

• Furnis serves as a centralized platform for conducting on-chain activities in a consistent and managed environment.

Why Furnis?

• Traditional methods of managing protocol interactions are cumbersome and prone to errors:

  • Developers often run scripts from local machines using personal wallet private keys.

  • This approach lacks transparency: it's unclear which branch or commit was used for deployment.

  • Local changes may not be committed, leading to inconsistencies.

  • Sharing deployed contract ABIs and addresses among team members is inefficient and error-prone.

• Furnis addresses these issues by providing a secure, structured, team-oriented approach to on-chain interactions:

  • creates a consistent, managed environment for teams to conduct their on-chain activities.

  • enhances collaboration by centralizing deployment information and artifacts.

  • provides transparency into which version of code was used for each deployment or interaction.

  • standardizes the deployment and interaction process, reducing errors and improving reproducibility.

Core Features

Project Management

• Projects are the highest-level organizational unit in Furnis.

• Each project is linked to a GitHub repository (1:1 relationship).

• Projects contain global configurations including environment variables, allowed signers, networks, and forge settings.

• Templates are created within projects and are linked to specific forge scripts in the project's repository. They allow for more granular configuration and reusability of common interaction patterns.

Secure Execution Environment

• Executions are triggered from templates and run in private Docker containers.

• Real-time console output displays execution logs to users.

• Transactions are signed using AWS KMS-managed key pairs, ensuring that private keys are never exposed and are encrypted at rest.

Logging and Artifact Management

• All interactions and ABIs generated from deployed contracts during script execution are processed and saved.

• Users can view historical executions, including metadata such as gas cost and usage.

• Easy download of ABIs for future reference or sharing with team members.
