Sophia is customized for smart contracts, which can be published to a blockchain. Thus some features of conventional languages, such as floating point arithmetic, are not present in Sophia, and some \u00e6ternity blockchain specific primitives, constructions and types have been added.
Note
- For rapid prototyping of smart contracts check out AEstudio!
- For playing around and diving deeper into the language itself check out the REPL!

All String functions in FATEv2 operate on unicode code points. - Operations for pairing-based cryptography has been added the operations are in the standard library BLS12_381. With these operations it is possible to do Zero Knowledge-proofs, etc. The operations are for the BLS12-381 curve (as the name suggests). - Calls to functions in other contracts (i.e. remote calls) can now be protected. If a contract call fails for any reason (for instance, the remote contract crashes or runs out of gas, or the entrypoint doesn't exist or has the wrong type) the parent call also fails. To make it possible to recover from failures, contract calls takes a named argument protected : bool (default false).
If protected = true the result of the contract call is wrapped in an option, and Some(value) indicates a succesful execution and None indicates that the contract call failed. Note: any gas consumed until the failure is still charged, but all side effects in the remote contract are rolled back on failure. - A new chain operation AENS.update is supported. - New chain exploring operations AENS.lookup and Oracle.expiry to look up an AENS record and the expiry of an Oracle respectively, are added. - Transaction introspection (Auth.tx) has been added. When a Generalized account is authorized, the authorization function needs access to the transaction (and the transaction hash) for the wrapped transaction. The transaction and the transaction hash is available Auth.tx, it is only available during authentication if invoked by a normal contract call it returns None. Example:
switch(Auth.tx)\n None => abort(\"Not in Auth context\")\n Some(tx0) =>\n switch(tx0.tx)\n Chain.SpendTx(_, amount, _) => amount > 400\n Chain.ContractCallTx(_, _) => true\n _ => false\n

Chain.block_hash(height) is now (in FATEv2) defined for the current height - this used to be an error. - Standard library: Sort is optimized to do
mergesort and a contains function is added. - Improved type errors and explicit errors for some syntax errors (empty code blocks, etc.).
- Compiler optimization: The ACI is generated alongside bytecode. This means that multiple compiler passes can be avoided.
- Compiler optimization: Improved parsing (less stack used when transpiled).
- A bug where constraints were handled out of order fixed.

\"\\x19Ethereum Signed Message:\\n\", and similar strings. Bytes.concat and Bytes.split are added to be able to (de-)construct byte arrays.[a..b] language construct, returning the list of numbers between a and b (inclusive). Returns the empty list if a > b.- Standard libraries
- Checks that
init is not called from other functions. - FATE backend - the compiler is able to produce VM code for both
AEVM and FATE. Many of the APIs now take {backend, aevm | fate} to decide wich backend to produce artifacts for. - New builtin functions
Crypto.ecrecover_secp256k1: (hash, bytes(65)) => option(bytes(20)) and Crypto.ecverify_secp256k1 : (hash, bytes(20), bytes(65)) => bool for recovering and verifying an Ethereum address for a message hash and a signature. - Sophia supports list comprehensions known from languages like Python, Haskell or Erlang. Example syntax:
[x + y | x <- [1,2,3,4,5], let k = x*x, if (k > 5), y <- [k, k+1, k+2]]\n// yields [12,13,14,20,21,22,30,31,32]\n

Crypto.<hash_fun> and String.<hash_fun> for byte arrays now only hash the actual byte array - not the internal ABI format.- More strict checks for polymorphic oracles and higher order oracles and entrypoints.
AENS.claim is updated with a NameFee field - to be able to do name auctions within contracts.- Fixed a bug in
Bytes.to_str for AEVM. - New syntax for tuple types. Now 0-tuple type is encoded as
unit instead of () and regular tuples are encoded by interspersing inner types with *, for instance int * string. Parens are not necessary. Note it only affects the types, values remain as their were before, so (1, \"a\") : int * string - The
AENS.transfer and AENS.revoke functions have been updated to take a name string instead of a name hash. - Fixed a bug where the
AEVM backend complained about a missing init function when trying to generate calldata from an ACI-generated interface. - Compiler now returns the ABI-version in the compiler result map.
- Renamed
Crypto.ecverify and Crypto.ecverify_secp256k1 into Crypto.verify_sig and Crypto.verify_sig_secp256k1 respectively.

generates the following JSON structure representing the contract interface:

- A contract implementation, or simply a contract, is the code for a smart contract and consists of a list of types, entrypoints and local functions. Only the entrypoints can be called from outside the contract.
- A contract instance is an entity living on the block chain (or in a state channel). Each instance has an address that can be used to call its entrypoints, either from another contract or in a call transaction.
- A contract may define a type
state encapsulating its local state. When creating a new contract the init entrypoint is executed and the state is initialized to its return value.
The language offers some primitive functions to interact with the blockchain and contracts. Please refer to the Chain, Contract and the Call namespaces in the documentation.
"},{"location":"sophia_features/#calling-other-contracts","title":"Calling other contracts","text":"To call a function in another contract you need the address to an instance of the contract. The type of the address must be a contract type, which consists of a number of type definitions and entrypoint declarations. For instance,
// A contract type\ncontract interface VotingType =\nentrypoint vote : string => unit\n
Now given contract address of type VotingType you can call the vote entrypoint of that contract:
contract VoteTwice =\nentrypoint voteTwice(v : VotingType, alt : string) =\nv.vote(alt)\nv.vote(alt)\n
Contract calls take two optional named arguments gas : int and value : int that lets you set a gas limit and provide tokens to a contract call. If omitted the defaults are no gas limit and no tokens. Suppose there is a fee for voting:
entrypoint voteTwice(v : VotingType, fee : int, alt : string) =\nv.vote(value = fee, alt)\nv.vote(value = fee, alt)\n
Named arguments can be given in any order.
Note that reentrant calls are not permitted. In other words, when calling another contract it cannot call you back (directly or indirectly).
To construct a value of a contract type you can give a contract address literal (for instance ct_2gPXZnZdKU716QBUFKaT4VdBZituK93KLvHJB3n4EnbrHHw4Ay), or convert an account address to a contract address using Address.to_contract. Note that if the contract does not exist, or it doesn't have the entrypoint, or the type of the entrypoint does not match the stated contract type, the call fails.
To recover the underlying address of a contract instance there is a field address : address. For instance, to send tokens to the voting contract (given that it is payable) without calling it you can write
entrypoint pay(v : VotingType, amount : int) =\nChain.spend(v.address, amount)\n
"},{"location":"sophia_features/#protected-contract-calls","title":"Protected contract calls","text":"If a contract call fails for any reason (for instance, the remote contract crashes or runs out of gas, or the entrypoint doesn't exist or has the wrong type) the parent call also fails. To make it possible to recover from failures, contract calls takes a named argument protected : bool (default false).
The protected argument must be a literal boolean, and when set to true changes the type of the contract call, wrapping the result in an option type. If the call fails the result is None, otherwise it's Some(r) where r is the return value of the call.
contract interface VotingType =\nentrypoint : vote : string => unit\n\ncontract Voter =\nentrypoint tryVote(v : VotingType, alt : string) =\nswitch(v.vote(alt, protected = true) : option(unit))\nNone => \"Voting failed\"\nSome(_) => \"Voting successful\"\n
Any gas that was consumed by the contract call before the failure stays consumed, which means that in order to protect against the remote contract running out of gas it is necessary to set a gas limit using the gas argument. However, note that errors that would normally consume all the gas in the transaction still only uses up the gas spent running the contract.
Any side effects (state change, token transfers, etc.) made by a failing protected call is rolled back, just like they would be in the unprotected case.
"},{"location":"sophia_features/#contract-factories-and-child-contracts","title":"Contract factories and child contracts","text":"Since the version 6.0.0 Sophia supports deploying contracts by other contracts. This can be done in two ways:
- Contract cloning via
Chain.clone - Direct deploy via
Chain.create
These functions take variable number of arguments that must match the created contract's init function. Beside that they take some additional named arguments \u2013 please refer to their documentation for the details.
While Chain.clone requires only a contract interface and a living instance of a given contract on the chain, Chain.create needs a full definition of a to-create contract defined by the standard contract syntax, for example
contract IntHolder =\ntype state = int\nentrypoint init(x) = x\nentrypoint get() = state\n\nmain contract IntHolderFactory =\nstateful entrypoint new(x : int) : IntHolder =\nlet ih = Chain.create(x) : IntHolder\nih\n

"},{"location":"sophia_features/#contract-interfaces-and-polymorphism","title":"Contract interfaces and polymorphism","text":"Contracts can implement one or multiple interfaces, the contract has to define every entrypoint from the implemented interface and the entrypoints in both the contract and implemented interface should have compatible types.
contract interface Animal =\n entrypoint sound : () => string\n\n contract Cat : Animal =\n entrypoint sound() = \"Cat sound\"\n
Contract interfaces can extend other interfaces. An extended interface has to declare all entrypoints from every parent interface. All the declarations in the extended interface must have types compatible with the declarations from the parent interface.
contract interface II =\n entrypoint f : () => unit\n\ncontract interface I : II =\n entrypoint f : () => unit\n entrypoint g : () => unit\n\ncontract C : I =\n entrypoint f() = ()\n entrypoint g() = ()\n

"},{"location":"sophia_features/#subtyping-and-variance","title":"Subtyping and variance","text":"Subtyping in Sophia follows common rules that take type variance into account. As described by Wikipedia,
Variance refers to how subtyping between more complex types relates to subtyping between their components.
This concept plays an important role in complex types such as tuples, datatypes and functions. Depending on the context, it can apply to positions in the structure of a type, or type parameters of generic types. There are four kinds of variances:
- covariant
- contravariant
- invariant
- bivariant
A type is said to be on a \"covariant\" position when it describes output or a result of some computation. Analogously, position is \"contravariant\" when it is an input, or a parameter. Intuitively, when a part of the type is produced by values of it, it is covariant. When it is consumed, it is contravariant. When a type appears to be simultaneously input and output, it is described as invariant. If a type is neither of those (that is, it's unused) it's bivariant. Furthermore, whenever a complex type appears on a contravariant position, all its covariant components become contravariant and vice versa.
Variance influences how subtyping is applied. Types on covariant positions are subtyped normally, while contravariant the opposite way. Invariant types have to be exactly the same in order for subtyping to work. Bivariant types are always compatible.
A good example of where it matters can be pictured by subtyping of function types. Let us assume there is a contract interface Animal and two contracts that implement it: Dog and Cat.
contract interface Animal =\nentrypoint age : () => int\n\ncontract Dog : Animal =\nentrypoint age() = // ...\nentrypoint woof() = \"woof\"\n\ncontract Cat : Animal =\nentrypoint age() = // ...\nentrypoint meow() = \"meow\"\n
The assumption of this exercise is that cats do not bark (because Cat does not define the woof entrypoint). If subtyping rules were applied naively, that is if we let Dog => Dog be a subtype of Animal => Animal, the following code would break:
let f : (Dog) => string = d => d.woof()\nlet g : (Animal) => string = f\nlet c : Cat = Chain.create()\ng(c) // Cat barking!\n
That is because arguments of functions are contravariant, as opposed to return the type which is covariant. Because of that, the assignment of f to g is invalid - while Dog is a subtype of Animal, Dog => string is not a subtype of Animal => string. However, Animal => string is a subtype of Dog => string. More than that, (Dog => Animal) => Dog is a subtype of (Animal => Dog) => Animal.
This has consequences on how user-defined generic types work. A type variable gains its variance from its role in the type definition as shown in the example:
datatype co('a) = Co('a) // co is covariant on 'a\ndatatype ct('a) = Ct('a => unit) // ct is contravariant on 'a\ndatatype in('a) = In('a => 'a) // in is invariant on 'a\ndatatype bi('a) = Bi // bi is bivariant on 'a\n
The following facts apply here:
co('a) is a subtype of co('b) when 'a is a subtype of 'bct('a) is a subtype of ct('b) when 'b is a subtype of 'ain('a) is a subtype of in('b) when 'a is equal to 'bbi('a) is a subtype of bi('b) always
That altogether induce the following rules of subtyping in Sophia:
-
A function type (Args1) => Ret1 is a subtype of (Args2) => Ret2 when Ret1 is a subtype of Ret2 and each argument type from Args2 is a subtype of its counterpart in Args1.
-
A list type list(A) is a subtype of list(B) if A is a subtype of B.
-
An option type option(A) is a subtype of option(B) if A is a subtype of B.
-
A map type map(A1, A2) is a subtype of map(B1, B2) if A1 is a subtype of B1, and A2 is a subtype of B2.
-
An oracle type oracle(A1, A2) is a subtype of oracle(B1, B2) if B1 is a subtype of A1, and A2 is a subtype of B2.
-
An oracle_query type oracle_query(A1, A2) is a subtype of oracle_query(B1, B2) if A1 is a subtype of B1, and A2 is a subtype of B2.
-
A user-defined datatype t(Args1) is a subtype of t(Args2)
-
When a user-defined type t('a) is covariant in 'a, then t(A) is a subtype of t(B) when A is a subtype of B.
-
When a user-defined type t('a) is contravariant in 'a, then t(A) is a subtype of t(B) when B is a subtype of A.
-
When a user-defined type t('a) is binvariant in 'a, then t(A) is a subtype of t(B) when either A is a subtype of B or when B is a subtype of A.
-
When a user-defined type t('a) is invariant in 'a, then t(A) can never be a subtype of t(B).
"},{"location":"sophia_features/#mutable-state","title":"Mutable state","text":"Sophia does not have arbitrary mutable state, but only a limited form of state associated with each contract instance.
- Each contract defines a type
state encapsulating its mutable state. The type state defaults to the unit. - The initial state of a contract is computed by the contract's
init function. The init function is pure and returns the initial state as its return value. If the type state is unit, the init function defaults to returning the value (). At contract creation time, the init function is executed and its result is stored as the contract state. - The value of the state is accessible from inside the contract through an implicitly bound variable
state. - State updates are performed by calling a function
put : state => unit. - Aside from the
put function (and similar functions for transactions and events), the language is purely functional. - Functions modifying the state need to be annotated with the
stateful keyword (see below).

Namespaces can appear at the top-level and can contain type and function definitions, but not entrypoints. Outside the namespace you can refer to the (non-private) names by qualifying them with the namespace (Namespace.name). For example,
namespace Library =\ntype number = int\nfunction inc(x : number) : number = x + 1\n\ncontract MyContract =\nentrypoint plus2(x) : Library.number =\nLibrary.inc(Library.inc(x))\n
Functions in namespaces have access to the same environment (including the Chain, Call, and Contract, builtin namespaces) as function in a contract, with the exception of state, put and Chain.event since these are dependent on the specific state and event types of the contract.
To avoid mentioning the namespace every time it is used, Sophia allows including the namespace in the current scope with the using keyword:
include \"Pair.aes\"\nusing Pair\ncontract C =\n type state = int\n entrypoint init() =\n let p = (1, 2)\n fst(p) // this is the same as Pair.fst(p)\n
It is also possible to make an alias for the namespace with the as keyword:
include \"Pair.aes\"\ncontract C =\n using Pair as P\n type state = int\n entrypoint init() =\n let p = (1, 2)\n P.fst(p) // this is the same as Pair.fst(p)\n
Having the same alias for multiple namespaces is possible and it allows referening functions that are defined in different namespaces and have different names with the same alias:
namespace Xa = function f() = 1\nnamespace Xb = function g() = 2\ncontract Cntr =\n using Xa as A\n using Xb as A\n type state = int\n entrypoint init() = A.f() + A.g()\n

namespace Xa = function f() = 1\nnamespace Xb = function f() = 2\ncontract Cntr =\n using Xa as A\n using Xb as A\n type state = int\n\n // the next line has an error because f is defined in both Xa and Xb\n entrypoint init() = A.f()\n
Importing specific parts of a namespace or hiding these parts can also be done like this:
using Pair for [fst, snd] // this will only import fst and snd\nusing Triple hiding [fst, snd] // this will import everything except for fst and snd\n

you can use it from another file using an include:

It makes no difference if m has a mapping for k or not.
It is possible to give a name to the old value of a field or mapping in an update: instead of acc{ balance = acc.balance + 100 } it is possible to write acc{ balance @ b = b + 100 }, binding b to acc.balance. When giving a name to a map value (m{ [k] @ x = v }), the corresponding key must be present in the map or execution fails, but a default value can be provided: m{ [k = default] @ x = v }. In this case x is bound to default if k is not in the map.
Updates can be nested:
function clear_history(a : address, accounts : map(address, account)) : map(address, account) =\naccounts{ [a].history = [] }\n
This is equivalent to accounts{ [a] @ acc = acc{ history = [] } } and thus requires a to be present in the accounts map. To have clear_history create an account if a is not in the map you can write (given a function empty_account): accounts{ [a = empty_account()].history = [] }\n

The payload field must be either a string or a byte array of more than 32 bytes. The fields can appear in any order.

Creates and deploys a new instance of a contract 'c. All of the unnamed arguments will be passed to the init function.

- whole contract source code
- single null byte
- name of the child contract
The resulting contract's public key can be predicted and in case it happens to have some funds before its creation, its balance will be increased by the value parameter.
The value argument (default 0) is equivalent to the value in the contract creation transaction \u2013 it sets the initial value of the newly created contract charging the calling contract. Note that this won't be visible in Call.value in the init call of the new contract. It will be included in Contract.balance, however.

Clones the contract under the mandatory named argument ref. That means a new contract of the same bytecode and the same payable parameter shall be created. NOTE: the state won't be copied and the contract will be initialized with a regular call to the init function with the remaining unnamed arguments. The resulting contract's public key can be predicted and in case it happens to have some funds before its creation, its balance will be increased by the value parameter. This operation is significantly cheaper than Chain.create as it costs a fixed amount of gas.
The gas argument (default Call.gas_left) limits the gas supply for the init call of the cloned contract.
The value argument (default 0) is equivalent to the value in the contract creation transaction \u2013 it sets the initial value of the newly created contract charging the calling contract. Note that this won't be visible in Call.value in the init call of the new contract. It will be included in Contract.balance, however.
The protected argument (default false) works identically as in remote calls. If set to true it will change the return type to option('c) and will catch all errors such as abort, out of gas and wrong arguments. Note that it can only take a boolean literal, so other expressions such as variables will be rejected by the compiler.
The type 'c must be instantiated with a contract.
Example usage:
payable contract interface Auction =\n entrypoint init : (int, string) => void\n stateful payable entrypoint buy : (int) => ()\n stateful entrypoint sell : (int) => ()\n\nmain contract Market =\n type state = list(Auction)\n entrypoint init() = []\n stateful entrypoint new_of(template : Auction, name : string) =\n switch(Chain.clone(ref=template, protected=true, 0, name))\n None => abort(\"Bad auction!\")\n Some(new_auction) =>\n put(new_auction::state)\n
When cloning by an interface, init entrypoint declaration is required. It is a good practice to set its return type to void in order to indicate that this function is not supposed to be called and is state agnostic. Trivia: internal implementation of the init function does not actually return state, but calls put instead. Moreover, FATE prevents even handcrafted calls to init.

The Z combinator. Allows performing local recursion and having anonymous recursive lambdas. To make function A => B recursive the user needs to transform it to take two arguments instead \u2013 one of type A => B which is going to work as a self-reference, and the other one of type A which is the original argument. Therefore, transformed function should have (A => B, A) => B signature.
Example usage:
let factorial = recur((fac, n) => if(n < 2) 1 else n * fac(n - 1))\n
If the function is going to take more than one argument it will need to be either tuplified or have curried out latter arguments.
Example (factorial with custom step):
// tuplified version\nlet factorial_t(n, step) =\n let fac(rec, args) =\n let (n, step) = args\n if(n < 2) 1 else n * rec((n - step, step))\n recur(fac)((n, step))\n\n// curried version\nlet factorial_c(n, step) =\n let fac(rec, n) = (step) =>\n if(n < 2) 1 else n * rec(n - 1)(step)\n recur(fac)(n)(step)\n

"},{"location":"sophia_stdlib/#frac","title":"Frac","text":"This namespace provides operations on rational numbers. A rational number is represented as a fraction of two integers which are stored internally in the frac datatype.
The datatype consists of three constructors Neg/2, Zero/0 and Pos/2 which determine the sign of the number. Both values stored in Neg and Pos need to be strictly positive integers. However, when creating a frac you should never use the constructors explicitly. Instead of that, always use provided functions like make_frac or from_int. This helps keeping the internal representation well defined.
The described below functions take care of the normalization of the fractions \u2013 they won't grow if it is unnecessary. Please note that the size of frac can be still very big while the value is actually very close to a natural number \u2013 the division of two extremely big prime numbers will be as big as both of them. To face this issue the optimize function is provided. It will approximate the value of the fraction to fit in the given error margin and to shrink its size as much as possible.
Important note: frac must not be compared using standard <-like operators. The operator comparison is not possible to overload at this moment, nor the language provides checkers to prevent unintended usage of them. Therefore the typechecker will allow that and the results of such comparison will be unspecified. You should use lt, geq, eq etc instead.

All String functions in FATEv2 operate on unicode code points. - Operations for pairing-based cryptography has been added the operations are in the standard library BLS12_381. With these operations it is possible to do Zero Knowledge-proofs, etc. The operations are for the BLS12-381 curve (as the name suggests). - Calls to functions in other contracts (i.e. remote calls) can now be protected. If a contract call fails for any reason (for instance, the remote contract crashes or runs out of gas, or the entrypoint doesn't exist or has the wrong type) the parent call also fails. To make it possible to recover from failures, contract calls takes a named argument protected : bool (default false).
If protected = true the result of the contract call is wrapped in an option, and Some(value) indicates a succesful execution and None indicates that the contract call failed. Note: any gas consumed until the failure is still charged, but all side effects in the remote contract are rolled back on failure. - A new chain operation AENS.update is supported. - New chain exploring operations AENS.lookup and Oracle.expiry to look up an AENS record and the expiry of an Oracle respectively, are added. - Transaction introspection (Auth.tx) has been added. When a Generalized account is authorized, the authorization function needs access to the transaction (and the transaction hash) for the wrapped transaction. The transaction and the transaction hash is available Auth.tx, it is only available during authentication if invoked by a normal contract call it returns None. Example:
switch(Auth.tx)\n None => abort(\"Not in Auth context\")\n Some(tx0) =>\n switch(tx0.tx)\n Chain.SpendTx(_, amount, _) => amount > 400\n Chain.ContractCallTx(_, _) => true\n _ => false\n

- A contract implementation, or simply a contract, is the code for a smart contract and consists of a list of types, entrypoints and local functions. Only the entrypoints can be called from outside the contract.
- A contract instance is an entity living on the block chain (or in a state channel). Each instance has an address that can be used to call its entrypoints, either from another contract or in a call transaction.
- A contract may define a type
state encapsulating its local state. When creating a new contract the init entrypoint is executed and the state is initialized to its return value.
The language offers some primitive functions to interact with the blockchain and contracts. Please refer to the Chain, Contract and the Call namespaces in the documentation.
"},{"location":"sophia_features/#calling-other-contracts","title":"Calling other contracts","text":"To call a function in another contract you need the address to an instance of the contract. The type of the address must be a contract type, which consists of a number of type definitions and entrypoint declarations. For instance,
// A contract type\ncontract interface VotingType =\nentrypoint vote : string => unit\n
Now given contract address of type VotingType you can call the vote entrypoint of that contract:
contract VoteTwice =\nentrypoint voteTwice(v : VotingType, alt : string) =\nv.vote(alt)\nv.vote(alt)\n
Contract calls take two optional named arguments gas : int and value : int that lets you set a gas limit and provide tokens to a contract call. If omitted the defaults are no gas limit and no tokens. Suppose there is a fee for voting:
entrypoint voteTwice(v : VotingType, fee : int, alt : string) =\nv.vote(value = fee, alt)\nv.vote(value = fee, alt)\n
Named arguments can be given in any order.
Note that reentrant calls are not permitted. In other words, when calling another contract it cannot call you back (directly or indirectly).
To construct a value of a contract type you can give a contract address literal (for instance ct_2gPXZnZdKU716QBUFKaT4VdBZituK93KLvHJB3n4EnbrHHw4Ay), or convert an account address to a contract address using Address.to_contract. Note that if the contract does not exist, or it doesn't have the entrypoint, or the type of the entrypoint does not match the stated contract type, the call fails.
To recover the underlying address of a contract instance there is a field address : address. For instance, to send tokens to the voting contract (given that it is payable) without calling it you can write
entrypoint pay(v : VotingType, amount : int) =\nChain.spend(v.address, amount)\n
"},{"location":"sophia_features/#protected-contract-calls","title":"Protected contract calls","text":"If a contract call fails for any reason (for instance, the remote contract crashes or runs out of gas, or the entrypoint doesn't exist or has the wrong type) the parent call also fails. To make it possible to recover from failures, contract calls takes a named argument protected : bool (default false).
The protected argument must be a literal boolean, and when set to true changes the type of the contract call, wrapping the result in an option type. If the call fails the result is None, otherwise it's Some(r) where r is the return value of the call.
contract interface VotingType =\nentrypoint : vote : string => unit\n\ncontract Voter =\nentrypoint tryVote(v : VotingType, alt : string) =\nswitch(v.vote(alt, protected = true) : option(unit))\nNone => \"Voting failed\"\nSome(_) => \"Voting successful\"\n
Any gas that was consumed by the contract call before the failure stays consumed, which means that in order to protect against the remote contract running out of gas it is necessary to set a gas limit using the gas argument. However, note that errors that would normally consume all the gas in the transaction still only uses up the gas spent running the contract.
Any side effects (state change, token transfers, etc.) made by a failing protected call is rolled back, just like they would be in the unprotected case.

Chain.create
These functions take variable number of arguments that must match the created contract's init function. Beside that they take some additional named arguments \u2013 please refer to their documentation for the details.
While Chain.clone requires only a contract interface and a living instance of a given contract on the chain, Chain.create needs a full definition of a to-create contract defined by the standard contract syntax, for example
contract IntHolder =\ntype state = int\nentrypoint init(x) = x\nentrypoint get() = state\n\nmain contract IntHolderFactory =\nstateful entrypoint new(x : int) : IntHolder =\nlet ih = Chain.create(x) : IntHolder\nih\n

"},{"location":"sophia_features/#subtyping-and-variance","title":"Subtyping and variance","text":"Subtyping in Sophia follows common rules that take type variance into account. As described by Wikipedia,
Variance refers to how subtyping between more complex types relates to subtyping between their components.
This concept plays an important role in complex types such as tuples, datatypes and functions. Depending on the context, it can apply to positions in the structure of a type, or type parameters of generic types. There are four kinds of variances:
- covariant
- contravariant
- invariant
- bivariant
A type is said to be on a \"covariant\" position when it describes output or a result of some computation. Analogously, position is \"contravariant\" when it is an input, or a parameter. Intuitively, when a part of the type is produced by values of it, it is covariant. When it is consumed, it is contravariant. When a type appears to be simultaneously input and output, it is described as invariant. If a type is neither of those (that is, it's unused) it's bivariant. Furthermore, whenever a complex type appears on a contravariant position, all its covariant components become contravariant and vice versa.
Variance influences how subtyping is applied. Types on covariant positions are subtyped normally, while contravariant the opposite way. Invariant types have to be exactly the same in order for subtyping to work. Bivariant types are always compatible.
A good example of where it matters can be pictured by subtyping of function types. Let us assume there is a contract interface Animal and two contracts that implement it: Dog and Cat.
contract interface Animal =\nentrypoint age : () => int\n\ncontract Dog : Animal =\nentrypoint age() = // ...\nentrypoint woof() = \"woof\"\n\ncontract Cat : Animal =\nentrypoint age() = // ...\nentrypoint meow() = \"meow\"\n
The assumption of this exercise is that cats do not bark (because Cat does not define the woof entrypoint). If subtyping rules were applied naively, that is if we let Dog => Dog be a subtype of Animal => Animal, the following code would break:
let f : (Dog) => string = d => d.woof()\nlet g : (Animal) => string = f\nlet c : Cat = Chain.create()\ng(c) // Cat barking!\n
That is because arguments of functions are contravariant, as opposed to return the type which is covariant. Because of that, the assignment of f to g is invalid - while Dog is a subtype of Animal, Dog => string is not a subtype of Animal => string. However, Animal => string is a subtype of Dog => string. More than that, (Dog => Animal) => Dog is a subtype of (Animal => Dog) => Animal.
This has consequences on how user-defined generic types work. A type variable gains its variance from its role in the type definition as shown in the example:
datatype co('a) = Co('a) // co is covariant on 'a\ndatatype ct('a) = Ct('a => unit) // ct is contravariant on 'a\ndatatype in('a) = In('a => 'a) // in is invariant on 'a\ndatatype bi('a) = Bi // bi is bivariant on 'a\n
The following facts apply here:
co('a) is a subtype of co('b) when 'a is a subtype of 'bct('a) is a subtype of ct('b) when 'b is a subtype of 'ain('a) is a subtype of in('b) when 'a is equal to 'bbi('a) is a subtype of bi('b) always
That altogether induce the following rules of subtyping in Sophia:
-
A function type (Args1) => Ret1 is a subtype of (Args2) => Ret2 when Ret1 is a subtype of Ret2 and each argument type from Args2 is a subtype of its counterpart in Args1.
-
A list type list(A) is a subtype of list(B) if A is a subtype of B.
-
An option type option(A) is a subtype of option(B) if A is a subtype of B.
-
A map type map(A1, A2) is a subtype of map(B1, B2) if A1 is a subtype of B1, and A2 is a subtype of B2.
-
An oracle type oracle(A1, A2) is a subtype of oracle(B1, B2) if B1 is a subtype of A1, and A2 is a subtype of B2.
-
An oracle_query type oracle_query(A1, A2) is a subtype of oracle_query(B1, B2) if A1 is a subtype of B1, and A2 is a subtype of B2.
-
A user-defined datatype t(Args1) is a subtype of t(Args2)
-
When a user-defined type t('a) is covariant in 'a, then t(A) is a subtype of t(B) when A is a subtype of B.
-
When a user-defined type t('a) is contravariant in 'a, then t(A) is a subtype of t(B) when B is a subtype of A.
-
When a user-defined type t('a) is binvariant in 'a, then t(A) is a subtype of t(B) when either A is a subtype of B or when B is a subtype of A.
-
When a user-defined type t('a) is invariant in 'a, then t(A) can never be a subtype of t(B).

- Each contract defines a type
state encapsulating its mutable state. The type state defaults to the unit. - The initial state of a contract is computed by the contract's
init function. The init function is pure and returns the initial state as its return value. If the type state is unit, the init function defaults to returning the value (). At contract creation time, the init function is executed and its result is stored as the contract state. - The value of the state is accessible from inside the contract through an implicitly bound variable
state. - State updates are performed by calling a function
put : state => unit. - Aside from the
put function (and similar functions for transactions and events), the language is purely functional. - Functions modifying the state need to be annotated with the

Namespaces can appear at the top-level and can contain type and function definitions, but not entrypoints.

namespace Library =\ntype number = int\nfunction inc(x : number) : number = x + 1\n\ncontract MyContract =\nentrypoint plus2(x) : Library.number =\nLibrary.inc(Library.inc(x))\n
Functions in namespaces have access to the same environment (including the Chain, Call, and Contract, builtin namespaces) as function in a contract, with the exception of state, put and Chain.event since these are dependent on the specific state and event types of the contract.
To avoid mentioning the namespace every time it is used, Sophia allows including the namespace in the current scope with the using keyword:
include \"Pair.aes\"\nusing Pair\ncontract C =\n type state = int\n entrypoint init() =\n let p = (1, 2)\n fst(p) // this is the same as Pair.fst(p)\n
It is also possible to make an alias for the namespace with the as keyword:
include \"Pair.aes\"\ncontract C =\n using Pair as P\n type state = int\n entrypoint init() =\n let p = (1, 2)\n P.fst(p) // this is the same as Pair.fst(p)\n
Having the same alias for multiple namespaces is possible and it allows referening functions that are defined in different namespaces and have different names with the same alias:
namespace Xa = function f() = 1\nnamespace Xb = function g() = 2\ncontract Cntr =\n using Xa as A\n using Xb as A\n type state = int\n entrypoint init() = A.f() + A.g()\n

Importing specific parts of a namespace or hiding these parts can also be done like this:
using Pair for [fst, snd] // this will only import fst and snd\nusing Triple hiding [fst, snd] // this will import everything except for fst and snd\n

A hole expression found in the example above will generate the error Found a hole of type `(int) => int`. This says that the compiler expects a function from int to int in place of the ??? placeholder.
"},{"location":"sophia_features/#constants","title":"Constants","text":"Constants in Sophia are contract-level bindings that can be used in either contracts or namespaces. The value of a constant can be a literal, another constant, or arithmetic operations applied to other constants. Lists, tuples, maps, and records can also be used to define a constant as long as their elements are also constants.
The following visibility rules apply to constants: * Constants defined inside a contract are private in that contract. Thus, cannot be accessed through instances of their defining contract. * Constants defined inside a namespace are public. Thus, can be used in other contracts or namespaces. * Constants cannot be defined inside a contract interface.
When a constant is shadowed, it can be accessed using its qualified name:
contract C =\n let c = 1\n entrypoint f() =\n let c = 2\n c + C.c // the result is 3\n
The name of the constant must be an id; therefore, no pattern matching is allowed when defining a constant:
contract C\n let x::y::_ = [1,2,3] // this will result in an error\n
"},{"location":"sophia_features/#arithmetic","title":"Arithmetic","text":"Sophia integers (int) are represented by arbitrary-sized signed words and support the following arithmetic operations: - addition (x + y) - subtraction (x - y) - multiplication (x * y) - division (x / y), truncated towards zero - remainder (x mod y), satisfying y * (x / y) + x mod y == x for non-zero y - exponentiation (x ^ y)
All operations are safe with respect to overflow and underflow. The division and modulo operations throw an arithmetic error if the right-hand operand is zero.
"},{"location":"sophia_features/#bit-fields","title":"Bit fields","text":"Sophia integers do not support bit arithmetic. Instead there is a separate type bits. See the standard library documentation.
A bit field can be of arbitrary size (but it is still represented by the corresponding integer, so setting very high bits can be expensive).

type number = int\ntype string_map('a) = map(string, 'a)\n
A type alias and its definition can be used interchangeably. Sophia does not support higher-kinded types, meaning that following type alias is invalid: type wrap('f, 'a) = 'f('a)
"},{"location":"sophia_features/#algebraic-data-types","title":"Algebraic data types","text":"Sophia supports algebraic data types (variant types) and pattern matching. Data types are declared by giving a list of constructors with their respective arguments. For instance,
datatype one_or_both('a, 'b) = Left('a) | Right('b) | Both('a, 'b)\n
Elements of data types can be pattern matched against, using the switch construct:
function get_left(x : one_or_both('a, 'b)) : option('a) =\nswitch(x)\nLeft(x) => Some(x)\nRight(_) => None\nBoth(x, _) => Some(x)\n
or directly in the left-hand side:
function\nget_left : one_or_both('a, 'b) => option('a)\nget_left(Left(x)) = Some(x)\nget_left(Right(_)) = None\nget_left(Both(x, _)) = Some(x)\n
NOTE: Data types cannot currently be recursive.
Sophia also supports the assignment of patterns to variables:
function f(x) = switch(x)\nh1::(t = h2::_) => (h1 + h2)::t // same as `h1::h2::k => (h1 + h2)::h2::k`\n_ => x\n\nfunction g(p : int * option(int)) : int =\nlet (a, (o = Some(b))) = p // o is equal to Pair.snd(p)\nb\n
Guards are boolean expressions that can be used on patterns in both switch statements and functions definitions. If a guard expression evaluates to true, then the corresponding body will be used. Otherwise, the next pattern will be checked:
function get_left_if_positive(x : one_or_both(int, 'b)) : option(int) =\nswitch(x)\nLeft(x) | x > 0 => Some(x)\nBoth(x, _) | x > 0 => Some(x)\n_ => None\n

Guards cannot be stateful even when used inside a stateful function.
"},{"location":"sophia_features/#lists","title":"Lists","text":"A Sophia list is a dynamically sized, homogenous, immutable, singly linked list. A list is constructed with the syntax [1, 2, 3]. The elements of a list can be any of datatype but they must have the same type. The type of lists with elements of type 'e is written list('e). For example we can have the following lists:
[1, 33, 2, 666] : list(int)\n[(1, \"aaa\"), (10, \"jjj\"), (666, \"the beast\")] : list(int * string)\n[{[1] = \"aaa\", [10] = \"jjj\"}, {[5] = \"eee\", [666] = \"the beast\"}] : list(map(int, string))\n
New elements can be prepended to the front of a list with the :: operator. So 42 :: [1, 2, 3] returns the list [42, 1, 2, 3]. The concatenation operator ++ appends its second argument to its first and returns the resulting list. So concatenating two lists [1, 22, 33] ++ [10, 18, 55] returns the list [1, 22, 33, 10, 18, 55].
Sophia supports list comprehensions known from languages like Python, Haskell or Erlang. Example syntax:
[x + y | x <- [1,2,3,4,5], let k = x*x, if (k > 5), y <- [k, k+1, k+2]]\n// yields [12,13,14,20,21,22,30,31,32]\n
Lists can be constructed using the range syntax using special .. operator:
[1..4] == [1,2,3,4]\n
The ranges are always ascending and have step equal to 1. Please refer to the standard library for the predefined functionalities.

Maps, on the other hand, can contain an arbitrary number of key-value bindings, but of a fixed type. The type of maps with keys of type 'k and values of type 'v is written map('k, 'v). The key type can be any type that does not contain a map or a function type.

This creates a new record value which is the same as r, but with the value of the field f replaced by v. Similarly, m{[k] = v} constructs a map with the same values as m except that k maps to v. It makes no difference if m has a mapping for k or not.
It is possible to give a name to the old value of a field or mapping in an update: instead of acc{ balance = acc.balance + 100 } it is possible to write acc{ balance @ b = b + 100 }, binding b to acc.balance. When giving a name to a map value (m{ [k] @ x = v }), the corresponding key must be present in the map or execution fails, but a default value can be provided: m{ [k = default] @ x = v }. In this case x is bound to default if k is not in the map.
Updates can be nested:
function clear_history(a : address, accounts : map(address, account)) : map(address, account) =\naccounts{ [a].history = [] }\n
This is equivalent to accounts{ [a] @ acc = acc{ history = [] } } and thus requires a to be present in the accounts map. To have clear_history create an account if a is not in the map you can write (given a function empty_account): accounts{ [a = empty_account()].history = [] }\n

To use events a contract must declare a datatype event, and events are then logged using the Chain.event function:
datatype event\n= Event1(int, int, string)\n| Event2(string, address)\n\nChain.event(e : event) : unit\n
The event can have 0-3 indexed fields, and an optional payload field. A field is indexed if it fits in a 32-byte word, i.e. - bool - int - bits - address - oracle(_, _) - oracle_query(_, _) - contract types - bytes(n) for n \u2264 32, in particular hash
The payload field must be either a string or a byte array of more than 32 bytes. The fields can appear in any order.
NOTE: Indexing is not part of the core \u00e6ternity node.
Events are emitted by using the Chain.event function. The following function will emit one Event of each kind in the example.

@compiler >= 4.3\n@compiler < 4.4\n
Valid operators in compiler pragmas are <, =<, ==, >=, and >. Version numbers are given as a sequence of non-negative integers separated by dots. Trailing zeros are ignored, so 4.0.0 == 4. If a constraint is violated an error is reported and compilation fails.

Aside from that, there is an almost equivalent function exit

The balance of account a.
"},{"location":"sophia_stdlib/#block_hash","title":"block_hash","text":"Chain.block_hash(h : int) : option(bytes(32))\n
The hash of the block at height h. h has to be within 256 blocks from the current height of the chain or else the function will return None.
NOTE: In FATE VM version 1 Chain.block_height was not considered an allowed height. From FATE VM version 2 (IRIS) it will return the block hash of the current generation.
"},{"location":"sophia_stdlib/#block_height","title":"block_height","text":"Chain.block_height : int\"\n
The height of the current block (i.e. the block in which the current call will be included).
"},{"location":"sophia_stdlib/#bytecode_hash","title":"bytecode_hash","text":"Chain.bytecode_hash : 'c => option(hash)\n
Returns the hash of the contract's bytecode (or None if it is nonexistent or deployed before FATE2). The type 'c must be instantiated with a contract. The charged gas increases linearly to the size of the serialized bytecode of the deployed contract.
"},{"location":"sophia_stdlib/#create","title":"create","text":"Chain.create(value : int, ...) => 'c\n
Creates and deploys a new instance of a contract 'c. All of the unnamed arguments will be passed to the init function. The charged gas increases linearly with the size of the compiled child contract's bytecode. The source_hash on-chain entry of the newly created contract will be the SHA256 hash over concatenation of
- whole contract source code
- single null byte
- name of the child contract
The resulting contract's public key can be predicted and in case it happens to have some funds before its creation, its balance will be increased by the value parameter.
The value argument (default 0) is equivalent to the value in the contract creation transaction \u2013 it sets the initial value of the newly created contract charging the calling contract. Note that this won't be visible in Call.value in the init call of the new contract. It will be included in Contract.balance, however.
The type 'c must be instantiated with a contract.
Example usage:
payable contract Auction =\n record state = {supply: int, name: string}\n entrypoint init(supply, name) = {supply: supply, name: name}\n stateful payable entrypoint buy(amount) =\n require(Call.value == amount, \"amount_value_mismatch\")\n ...\n stateful entrypoint sell(amount) =\n require(amount >= 0, \"negative_amount\")\n ...\n\nmain contract Market =\n type state = list(Auction)\n entrypoint init() = []\n stateful entrypoint new(name : string) =\n let new_auction = Chain.create(0, name) : Auction\n put(new_auction::state)\n
The typechecker must be certain about the created contract's type, so it is worth writing it explicitly as shown in the example.
"},{"location":"sophia_stdlib/#clone","title":"clone","text":"Chain.clone : ( ref : 'c, gas : int, value : int, protected : bool, ...\n ) => if(protected) option('c) else 'c\n
Clones the contract under the mandatory named argument ref. That means a new contract of the same bytecode and the same payable parameter shall be created. NOTE: the state won't be copied and the contract will be initialized with a regular call to the init function with the remaining unnamed arguments. The resulting contract's public key can be predicted and in case it happens to have some funds before its creation, its balance will be increased by the value parameter. This operation is significantly cheaper than Chain.create as it costs a fixed amount of gas.
The gas argument (default Call.gas_left) limits the gas supply for the init call of the cloned contract.
The value argument (default 0) is equivalent to the value in the contract creation transaction \u2013 it sets the initial value of the newly created contract charging the calling contract. Note that this won't be visible in Call.value in the init call of the new contract. It will be included in Contract.balance, however.
The protected argument (default false) works identically as in remote calls. If set to true it will change the return type to option('c) and will catch all errors such as abort, out of gas and wrong arguments. Note that it can only take a boolean literal, so other expressions such as variables will be rejected by the compiler.
The type 'c must be instantiated with a contract.
Example usage:
payable contract interface Auction =\n entrypoint init : (int, string) => void\n stateful payable entrypoint buy : (int) => ()\n stateful entrypoint sell : (int) => ()\n\nmain contract Market =\n type state = list(Auction)\n entrypoint init() = []\n stateful entrypoint new_of(template : Auction, name : string) =\n switch(Chain.clone(ref=template, protected=true, 0, name))\n None => abort(\"Bad auction!\")\n Some(new_auction) =>\n put(new_auction::state)\n
When cloning by an interface, init entrypoint declaration is required. It is a good practice to set its return type to void in order to indicate that this function is not supposed to be called and is state agnostic. Trivia: internal implementation of the init function does not actually return state, but calls put instead. Moreover, FATE prevents even handcrafted calls to init.

"},{"location":"sophia_stdlib/#frac","title":"Frac","text":"This namespace provides operations on rational numbers. A rational number is represented as a fraction of two integers which are stored internally in the frac datatype.
The datatype consists of three constructors Neg/2, Zero/0 and Pos/2 which determine the sign of the number. Both values stored in Neg and Pos need to be strictly positive integers. However, when creating a frac you should never use the constructors explicitly. Instead of that, always use provided functions like make_frac or from_int. This helps keeping the internal representation well defined.
The described below functions take care of the normalization of the fractions \u2013 they won't grow if it is unnecessary. Please note that the size of frac can be still very big while the value is actually very close to a natural number \u2013 the division of two extremely big prime numbers will be as big as both of them. To face this issue the optimize function is provided. It will approximate the value of the fraction to fit in the given error margin and to shrink its size as much as possible.
Important note: frac must not be compared using standard <-like operators. The operator comparison is not possible to overload at this moment, nor the language provides checkers to prevent unintended usage of them. Therefore the typechecker will allow that and the results of such comparison will be unspecified. You should use lt, geq, eq etc instead.

"},{"location":"sophia_syntax/#layout-blocks","title":"Layout blocks","text":"Sophia uses Python-style layout rules to group declarations and statements. A layout block with more than one element must start on a separate line and be indented more than the currently enclosing layout block. Blocks with a single element can be written on the same line as the previous token.
Each element of the block must share the same indentation and no part of an element may be indented less than the indentation of the block. For instance
contract Layout =\nfunction foo() = 0 // no layout\nfunction bar() = // layout block starts on next line\nlet x = foo() // indented more than 2 spaces\nx\n+ 1 // the '+' is indented more than the 'x'\n
"},{"location":"sophia_syntax/#notation","title":"Notation","text":"In describing the syntax below, we use the following conventions:
- Upper-case identifiers denote non-terminals (like
Expr) or terminals with some associated value (like Id). - Keywords and symbols are enclosed in single quotes:
'let' or '='. - Choices are separated by vertical bars:
|. - Optional elements are enclosed in
[ square brackets ]. ( Parentheses ) are used for grouping.- Zero or more repetitions are denoted by a postfix
*, and one or more repetitions by a +. Block(X) denotes a layout block of Xs.Sep(X, S) is short for [X (S X)*], i.e. a possibly empty sequence of Xs separated by Ss.Sep1(X, S) is short for X (S X)*, i.e. same as Sep, but must not be empty.

Contract declarations must appear at the top-level.
For example,
contract Test =\ntype t = int\nentrypoint add (x : t, y : t) = x + y\n
There are three forms of type declarations: type aliases (declared with the type keyword), record type definitions (record) and data type definitions (datatype):
TypeAlias ::= Type\nRecordType ::= '{' Sep(FieldType, ',') '}'\nDataType ::= Sep1(ConDecl, '|')\n\nFieldType ::= Id ':' Type\nConDecl ::= Con ['(' Sep1(Type, ',') ')']\n
For example,
record point('a) = {x : 'a, y : 'a}\ndatatype shape('a) = Circle(point('a), 'a) | Rect(point('a), point('a))\ntype int_shape = shape(int)\n
