Overview
Podium’s smart contracts handle the trust-critical settlement layer — USDC escrow, task lifecycle, solver reputation, and reward distribution. They’re deployed on Base (mainnet and Sepolia testnet) and Arc Testnet. The contract system has two generations:
V2 is the active system. V1 contracts remain deployed for backward compatibility.
V2 Architecture
Design Principles
Multi-tenant isolation: Each Podium organization gets its ownTaskPool + RewardPool pair, completely isolated. Shared singletons (SolverRegistry, VerificationEngine, IntentRegistryV2) are global.
Beacon proxy pattern: All tenant pools share a single implementation via UpgradeableBeacon. Upgrading the beacon atomically upgrades every tenant’s pool — no per-tenant migration needed.
CREATE2 determinism: Tenant pool addresses are computable off-chain before deployment via computeTaskPoolAddress(tenantId) and computeRewardPoolAddress(tenantId). This enables pre-funded deployment flows.
EIP-7201 storage namespacing: All upgradeable contracts use manually computed storage slots to prevent collisions across proxy upgrades.
Pull-based payouts: Rewards are queued via queuePayout and claimed by the solver. This avoids push-payment failures and gives solvers control over when they withdraw.
Proxy Patterns
UUPS (Universal Upgradeable Proxy Standard)
Used for global singletons that exist once per deployment:IntentRegistryV2SolverRegistryVerificationEngine
_authorizeUpgrade restricted to owner). Only the contract owner can trigger upgrades.
Beacon Proxies
Used for per-tenant contracts that share implementation:TaskPoolImplementation— deployed per-tenant viaTaskPoolFactoryRewardPoolImplementation— deployed per-tenant alongside TaskPool
TaskPoolFactory owns both UpgradeableBeacon instances. Calling factory.upgradeTaskPool(newImpl) atomically upgrades all tenant TaskPools.
Supported Networks
On testnets, a
MockUSDC contract is deployed with an unrestricted mint() function for test setup.
