GitHub Issue #573 — Webhook Consumer Integration Guide: COMPLETED ✅

Summary

Successfully completed comprehensive webhook consumer integration guide for YieldVault-RWA Soroban smart contracts. All deliverables completed with production-ready code examples and zero build warnings.

Deliverables

1. ✅ Comprehensive Webhook Integration Guide

File: docs/WEBHOOK_INTEGRATION.md (~1,500 lines)

Contents:

  • Overview — What webhooks are, who should read this, Stellar event model explanation
  • Event Catalog — Complete documentation of all 5 events emitted by YieldVault:
    • deposit — User deposits USDC, receives shares
    • pndwdraw — Large withdrawal initiated (24-hour timelock)
    • withdraw — Withdrawal completes
    • feechg — Protocol fee updated
    • mindepchg — Minimum deposit threshold updated
  • Setting Up a Webhook Consumer — Step-by-step guides with code examples in:
    • TypeScript/JavaScript (using Stellar SDK)
    • Python (using stellar-sdk)
    • Rust (using soroban-client)
  • Signature Verification — Full examples showing how to verify event authenticity:
    • Verify contract address matches expected deployment
    • Verify network passphrase
    • Verify ledger sequence validity
    • Detect replayed or spoofed events
  • Retry Expectations & Reliability — Comprehensive reliability guide:
    • Recommended polling interval (5 seconds, matches ledger close time)
    • Cursor-based pagination to avoid missing events
    • Handling missed events (re-scan by ledger range)
    • Idempotency and deduplication strategies
    • Exponential backoff retry strategy
  • Event Filtering — How to filter by:
    • Specific contract address
    • Specific event type
    • Ledger range
    • Specific user address in event topics
  • Error Handling — Common failure scenarios:
    • RPC node unavailable
    • Malformed event data
    • Contract upgraded (address changed)
    • Network passphrase mismatch
    • Cursor expired (too far behind)
  • Security Best Practices — 5 key practices:
    • Never trust event data without source verification
    • Always validate contract address against known deployment
    • Store processed event cursors persistently
    • Rate limiting considerations
    • Alerting on unexpected event patterns
  • Testnet vs Mainnet Configuration — Configuration management with environment variables
  • Complete Working Example — References to production-ready implementations

Event Documentation

Events Identified & Documented

Event Emitted By When Topics Data
deposit deposit() User deposits USDC contract_id (amount, shares_minted)
pndwdraw withdraw() Large withdrawal initiated contract_id, user (shares, unlock_timestamp)
withdraw withdraw() / execute_withdrawal() Withdrawal completes contract_id, user (assets_returned, shares_burned)
feechg set_fee_bps() Protocol fee updated contract_id (old_bps, new_bps)
mindepchg set_min_deposit() Min deposit updated contract_id (old_min, new_min)

Event Verification

All events are:

  • Cryptographically signed — Tied to transaction signatures
  • Ledger-sequenced — Proof of when they occurred
  • Contract-specific — Tied to specific vault contract address
  • Network-specific — Tied to specific Stellar network (testnet/mainnet)
  • Immutable — Cannot be modified once published

});

for (const event of response.events) {
  console.log(`Event: ${event.topic[1]}`, event.value);
}
