feat: add merkle allowlist, delegation, updatable fees, and contract minting restrictions to ERC1155Serendipity

[johnnyshankman]

Summary

Adds four major enhancements to the ERC1155Serendipity contract for gacha claims:

1. Optional merkle-based allowlist for access control (omit for open mints)
2. Updatable platform fees (base and merkle-specific)
3. Delegation registry support (V1 and V2) for hot/cold wallet patterns
4. Contract minting restrictions to prevent smart contracts from minting

Key Features Added

1. Merkle Allowlist Support

• Optional merkleRoot parameter in claim configuration
• Per-wallet mint limits via walletMax field
• MintIndex tracking to prevent merkle proof reuse (256 indices per user)
• Omit merkleRoot for open mints
• Efficient bitmap storage for mint tracking

2. Updatable Fee System

• setMintFees() function to update base and merkle fees
• Default fees: 0.0005 ETH base, 0.00069 ETH merkle
• getMintFee() and getMintFeeMerkle() view functions
• Admin-only fee updates

3. Delegation Registry Integration

• Support for both V1 and V2 delegation registries
• Hot/cold wallet patterns for secure minting
• mintFor parameter enables delegation workflows
• IMPORTANT: Mints are always delivered to msg.sender (hot wallet) to avoid gas issues with complex contracts
• Merkle validation uses the delegated address (cold wallet)
• Immutable registry addresses set at deployment

4. Contract Minting Prevention

• Smart contracts cannot call mintReserve directly
• Throws CannotMintFromContract error when contracts attempt to mint
• EOAs can still use delegation for hot/cold wallet patterns
• Prevents potential issues with contract wallets

Contract Changes

ERC1155Serendipity.sol

• Added ReentrancyGuard for security
• Added Address.isContract() check to block contract minting
• New storage mappings for mint tracking and merkle validation
• mintReserve() function with array-based parameters for batch support
• Separated merkle validation address from delivery address
• Helper functions for merkle validation and mint index checking
• Fee management functions
• Enhanced NatSpec documentation

ISerendipity.sol

• Extended Claim struct with merkleRoot and walletMax fields
• Added mintReserve() function signature
• New fee getter/setter interfaces
• checkMintIndex() and checkMintIndices() view functions
• CannotMintFromContract error for contract restriction

Testing

• 2,800+ lines of comprehensive test coverage
• 70 tests covering all functionality:
  • Merkle validation scenarios
  • Delegation workflows (V1 and V2)
  • Fee updates and validation
  • Array-based batch minting
  • Contract minting prevention
  • Edge cases and security checks
  • Mint delivery to msg.sender verification

Security Enhancements

• ✅ ReentrancyGuard on all mint functions
• ✅ MintIndex bitmap prevents merkle proof reuse
• ✅ Delegation validation through registries
• ✅ Contract minting blocked with CannotMintFromContract
• ✅ Mints delivered to msg.sender to avoid gas issues
• ✅ Comprehensive input validation
• ✅ Refund mechanism for overpayments

Breaking Changes

• Constructor signature changed - now requires delegation registry addresses
• Interface changes - Claim struct extended with new fields
• New required parameters - merkleRoot and walletMax fields in claim initialization
• Delegation behavior - mints now delivered to msg.sender instead of mintFor address
• Contract restriction - smart contracts can no longer mint directly

Gas Optimizations

• Internal _getClaim() helper function reduces redundant reads
• Efficient bitmap storage for mint indices (256 indices per storage slot)
• Batch validation for array operations
• Immutable delegation registry addresses

Deployment Requirements

Constructor now requires delegation registry addresses:

constructor(
  address initialOwner,
  address delegationRegistry,    // V1 registry
  address delegationRegistryV2   // V2 registry
)

Usage Examples

Creating a Merkle-Gated Claim

initializeClaim(creatorContract, instanceId, ClaimParameters({
  merkleRoot: 0x123...,     // Allowlist root
  walletMax: 5,             // Max mints per wallet
  // ... other parameters
}));

Minting with Merkle Proof

uint32[] memory indices = new uint32[](1);
indices[0] = mintIndex;
bytes32[][] memory proofs = new bytes32[][](1);
proofs[0] = merkleProof;

mintReserve(
  creatorContract,
  instanceId,
  1,           // mintCount
  indices,     // mintIndices
  proofs,      // merkleProofs
  address(0)   // mintFor (0 = self, mints delivered to msg.sender)
);

Delegated Minting

// Cold wallet delegates to hot wallet via registry
// Hot wallet calls mintReserve with cold wallet as mintFor
// Mints are delivered to hot wallet (msg.sender) for gas efficiency

mintReserve(
  creatorContract,
  instanceId,
  1,
  indices,
  proofs,
  coldWalletAddress  // mintFor (validates delegation, but mints go to msg.sender)
);

Open Mint (No Merkle)

mintReserve(
  creatorContract,
  instanceId,
  1,
  new uint32[](0),      // Empty indices
  new bytes32[][](0),   // Empty proofs
  address(0)
);

Documentation Updates

• Comprehensive NatSpec comments for all public functions
• Clear explanation of delegation behavior (mints to msg.sender)
• Refund behavior documented
• Contract restriction clearly noted

Recent Updates

• Enhanced NatSpec documentation for delegation parameters and refund behavior
• Restored contract minting restrictions with CannotMintFromContract error
• Modified delegation to always deliver to msg.sender to avoid gas issues with complex contracts
• Added comprehensive test coverage for contract minting prevention

🔍 Senior Blockchain Engineer Code Review

I've completed a thorough review of the ERC1155Serendipity merkle allowlist implementation with mintIndex security fix. Here's my assessment:

✅ Security Strengths

1. Critical Vulnerability Fixed: The addition of mintIndex parameter successfully prevents merkle proof reuse attacks. The implementation correctly tracks used indices via bitmap storage (_claimMintIndices), matching the security pattern in LazyPayableClaimCore.

2. Reentrancy Protection: Proper use of OpenZeppelin's ReentrancyGuard on all mint functions.

3. Delegation Security: Both V1 and V2 delegation registries are supported with proper validation to prevent unauthorized minting.

4. Input Validation: Comprehensive checks for all user inputs including proper bounds checking for uint types.

🎯 Gas Optimizations

1. Storage Access Pattern: The restoration of _getClaim() returning Claim storage is correct for gas efficiency. Internal functions avoid unnecessary external call overhead.

2. Bitmap Storage: Efficient use of bitmap for tracking mintIndex usage minimizes storage costs.

3. Unchecked Blocks: Proper use of unchecked arithmetic where overflow is impossible.

📋 Code Quality Observations

Positives:

• Clean separation of concerns with internal helper functions
• Comprehensive test coverage including edge cases for mintIndex validation
• Proper error handling with descriptive custom errors
• Backward compatibility maintained with base ISerendipity interface

Minor Suggestions:

1. Consider adding indexed parameters to events for better off-chain querying
2. The MINT_INDEX_BITMASK constant (0xFF) limits to 256 uses per storage slot - this is reasonable but should be documented
3. Consider adding a getter function for checking if a specific mintIndex has been used (useful for frontend validation)

🧪 Test Coverage

Excellent test coverage with 70 passing tests including:

• ✅ Merkle proof reuse prevention
• ✅ MintIndex validation for non-merkle claims
• ✅ Multiple users with different mintIndices
• ✅ Wallet max enforcement with and without merkle
• ✅ Delegation scenarios

🏗️ Architecture

The refactoring successfully consolidates V2 functionality into the main contract while maintaining clean interfaces. The merkle leaf structure keccak256(abi.encodePacked(address, mintIndex)) is standard and secure.

🚀 Production Readiness

Ready for deployment with the following notes:

• Contract size is within limits (though close)
• All critical security patterns implemented
• Comprehensive test coverage
• Gas costs are reasonable for the added security

📊 Risk Assessment

Low Risk - The implementation follows established patterns from battle-tested contracts (LazyPayableClaimCore), includes proper security measures, and has comprehensive test coverage.

✨ Overall Assessment

APPROVED - This is a well-implemented solution that successfully adds merkle-based allowlist functionality with proper security measures. The mintIndex implementation effectively prevents the proof reuse vulnerability that would have existed without it.

Great work on identifying and fixing the critical security issue! The code is production-ready.

shouldn't this be

if (!mintBitmask || claimMintTracking != 0) revert...

[johnnyshankman]

logistically valid concern. LazyPayableClaimCore has the same logic in _checkMintIndex though so it must be fine?

The MintFeesUpdated event is good, but consider adding separate events for base fee and merkle fee updates for better monitoring.

3. Documentation Enhancement

Consider adding more detailed NatSpec comments for the delegation parameters, especially the mintFor parameter behavior.

4. Refund Pattern Consistency

The refund logic using Address.sendValue() is appropriate. Consider documenting the behavior if refunds fail.

📊 Test Coverage Analysis

• Merkle validation: ✅ Comprehensive edge cases
• Delegation flows: ✅ Both V1 and V2 tested
• Fee updates: ✅ Admin controls and payment validation
• Mint indices: ✅ Reuse prevention validated
• Integration: ✅ Multiple creator contracts tested

🚀 Performance Considerations

• Bitmap storage is highly efficient (32 users × 8 indices per storage slot)
• Merkle proof validation is O(log n) as expected
• No unnecessary storage reads in hot paths

🔒 Security Validation

• ✅ No reentrancy vulnerabilities identified
• ✅ Proper access control on all admin functions
• ✅ Integer overflow protection via Solidity 0.8+
• ✅ Delegation validation prevents unauthorized minting
• ✅ Merkle proof reuse prevented via mint indices

📝 Breaking Changes (Documented)

1. Constructor signature requires delegation registry addresses
2. Claim struct extended with new fields
3. New required parameters in claim initialization

These are acceptable given the significant functionality improvements.

✨ Recommendation

APPROVED - This is a well-architected enhancement that adds significant value while maintaining security and efficiency. The optional nature of the merkle root makes it backward compatible for existing use cases.

The code demonstrates excellent engineering practices with comprehensive testing and thoughtful security considerations. The minor suggestions above are optional improvements that could be addressed in a follow-up if desired.

Great work on this implementation! 🎉

Interesting...

[johnnyshankman]

Woops didn't mean to get rid of this if it was important... won't this lock out gnosis safes and smart wallets though?

[johnnyshankman]

Yeah weird non of the claim contracts use this. The only thing that does Address.isContract are the things setting up implementation proxies, which makes sense. This is very odd.
