Create Alias Output
An Alias Output is a specific implementation of a UTXO state machine. The Alias ID, the unique identifier of an instance of the deployed state machine, is generated deterministically by the protocol and is not allowed to change in future state transitions.
An Alias Output represents an alias account in the ledger with two control levels and a permanent Alias Address. The account owns other outputs that are locked under the Alias Address. The account keeps track of state transitions (State Index counter) and controlled foundries (Foundry Counter) and anchors the layer 2 state as metadata into the UTXO ledger.
Example Code
- Rust
- Typescript (Node.js)
- Python
The following example will:
- Instantiate a
Wallet, get Alice'sAccountwhich was created in the first guide. - Create an Alias Output transaction by calling the
Account.create_alias_output()function.
- Retry the
Transactionuntil included.
The following example will:
- Instantiate a
Wallet, get Alice'sAccountwhich was created in the first guide and sync it. - Create an Alias Output transaction by calling the
Account.createAliasOutput()function.
- Await for the
Transactionto get confirmed by calling theAccount.retryTransactionUntilIncludedfunction.
- Instantiate a
Wallet, get Alice'sAccountwhich was created in the first guide and sync it. - Prepare an Alias Output transaction by calling the
Account.prepare_create_alias_output()function, and then send it.
