BinaryOptionMarketFactory

Description

This contract is strictly responsible for instantiating new BinaryOptionMarket instances on behalf of the BinaryOptionMarketManager.

Market instantiation is delegated to this factory contract because, as the deploying contract must contain the entire construction bytecode of the contract to be deployed, the manager would be too large to deploy (EIP 170).

Additionally, separating out the construction of markets into a factory contract allows the manager and the markets to be upgraded independently of one another.

Related Contracts
  • BinaryOptionMarketManager: The manager is the only contract permitted to create contracts from the factory.
  • BinaryOptionMarket: The factory creates market instances with the provided parameters.
  • AddressResolver: The factory uses the address resolver to retrieve the address of its manager, so if the manager is upgraded, this factory must be synchronised.

External Functions

createMarket

Source

Simply creates a new BinaryOptionMarket instance with the given parameters.

As this is only intended to be called from BinaryOptionMarketManager.createMarket, the transaction reverts if the message sender is not the manager. See that function's documentation for further details.

Initial timestamps should be provided in the order [biddingEnd, maturity, expiry], initial bids as [longBid, shortBid], and fees as [poolFee, creatorFee, refundFee].

Details

Signature

createMarket(address creator, uint256[2] creatorLimits, bytes32 oracleKey, uint256 strikePrice, bool refundsEnabled, uint256[3] times, uint256[2] bids, uint256[3] fees) returns (contract BinaryOptionMarket)
