# IGovernorFactory

IGovernorFactory

Clone factory for deploying token clones (minimal proxies of IGovernor).

https://blog.openzeppelin.com/workshop-recap-cheap-contract-deployment-through-clones/ Only CREATE2 / deterministic creation is supported, since in the Git Consensus Protocol onboarding, the addresses will always need to be be predicted ahead of time. The usual flow is: 1. Predict the address of the governor using GovernorFactory.predictAddress() 2. Deploy the token using TokenFactory.createToken(..., govAddr, ...) 3. Deploy the governor using GovernorFactory.createGovernor(..., tokenAddr, ...)

# Methods

# createGovernor

function createGovernor(address tokenAddr, string name, uint256 votingDelay, uint256 votingPeriod, uint256 proposalThreshold, uint256 quorumNumerator, bytes32 salt) external nonpayable returns (address instanceAddr)

Creates an IGovernor with an optional initial distribution. Uses CREATE2 so that the governor's address can be computed deterministically using predictAddress().

# Parameters

Name	Type	Description
tokenAddr	address	The ERC20 token that will be used for voting.
name	string	Name of the governor (e.g. "ExampleGovernor").
votingDelay	uint256	The number of blocks that must pass between a proposal being proposed and when it becomes executable (e.g. 1 = 1 block).
votingPeriod	uint256	The number of blocks that voting is open for a proposal (e.g. 100800 = 2 weeks = 12/s per block).
proposalThreshold	uint256	The minimum number of votes required for an account to create a proposal (e.g. 0 = anyone can create a proposal).
quorumNumerator	uint256	The quorumNumerator/100 to give a percentage representing minimum number of votes out of the supply required to pass a proposal (e.g. 5 = 5%).
salt	bytes32	The salt value used by CREATE2.

# Returns

Name	Type	Description
instanceAddr	address	The address of the newly created governor clone.

# predictAddress

function predictAddress(bytes32 salt) external view returns (address instanceAddr)

Predicts the address of an IGovernor deployed using CREATE2 + salt value.

# Parameters

Name	Type	Description
salt	bytes32	The salt value used by CREATE2.

# Returns

Name	Type	Description
instanceAddr	address	The address of the newly created governor clone.

# Events

# GovernorCreated

event GovernorCreated(address instanceAddr, address creatorAddr, address tokenAddr, string name, uint256 votingDelay, uint256 votingPeriod, uint256 proposalThreshold, uint256 quorumNumerator)
