The accounts Contract

The accounts contract is one of the core contracts on each IOTA Smart Contracts chain.

This contract keeps a consistent ledger of on-chain accounts in its state, i.e. the L2 ledger.

Entry Points​

The accounts contract provides functions to deposit and withdraw tokens, information about the assets deposited on the chain, and the functionality to create and use foundries.

deposit()​

A no-op that has the side effect of crediting any transferred tokens to the sender's account.

Gas Fees

As with every call, the gas fee is debited from the L2 account right after executing the request.

withdraw()​

Moves tokens from the caller's on-chain account to the caller's L1 address. The number of tokens to be withdrawn must be specified via the allowance of the request.

Contract Account

Because contracts does not have a corresponding L1 address it does not make sense to have them call this function. It will fail with an error.

Storage Deposit

A call to withdraw means that a L1 output will be created. Because of this, the withdrawn amount must be able to cover the L1 storage deposit. Otherwise, it will fail.

transferAllowanceTo(a AgentID)​

Transfers the specified allowance from the sender's L2 account to the given L2 account on the chain.

note

When a transfer is made into an EVM account, an EVM tx will be created on the EVM side from the zero address (0x0000...) to the target account. Information about what is being transferred will be encoded in the transaction's data using the following format:

<Sender_AgentID bytes> + <Assets bytes>

The encoding used for this data can be found on TIP-51

Parameters​

  • a (AgentID): The target L2 account.

transferAccountToChain(g GasReserve)​

Transfers the specified allowance from the sender SC's L2 account on the target chain to the sender SC's L2 account on the origin chain.

Parameters​

  • g (uint64): Optional gas amount to reserve in the allowance for the internal call to transferAllowanceTo(). Default 100 (MinGasFee).
Important Detailed Information

Read carefully before using this function.

nativeTokenCreate(t TokenScheme, tn TokenName, ts TokenSymbol, td TokenDecimal) s SerialNumber​

Creates a new foundry and registers it as a ERC20 and IRC30 token.

You can call this end point from the CLI using wasp-cli chain create-native-token -h

Parameters​

  • t (iotago::TokenScheme): The token scheme for the new foundry.
  • tn (string): The token name
  • ts (string): The token symbol
  • td (uint8): The token decimals

The storage deposit for the new foundry must be provided via allowance (only the minimum required will be used).

Returns​

  • s (uint32): The serial number of the newly created foundry

nativeTokenModifySupply(s SerialNumber, d SupplyDeltaAbs, y DestroyTokens)​

Mints or destroys tokens for the given foundry, which must be controlled by the caller.

Parameters​

  • s (uint32): The serial number of the foundry.
  • d (positive big.Int): Amount to mint or destroy.
  • y (optional bool - default: false): Whether to destroy tokens (true) or not (false).

When minting new tokens, the storage deposit for the new output must be provided via an allowance.

When destroying tokens, the tokens to be destroyed must be provided via an allowance.

nativeTokenDestroy(s SerialNumber)​

Destroys a given foundry output on L1, reimbursing the storage deposit to the caller. The foundry must be owned by the caller.

danger

This operation cannot be reverted.

Parameters​

  • s (uint32): The serial number of the foundry.

foundryCreateNew(t TokenScheme) s SerialNumber​

Deprecated

This function is deprecated, please use nativeTokenCreate instead

Creates a new foundry with the specified token scheme, and assigns the foundry to the sender.

You can call this end point from the CLI using wasp-cli chain create-foundry -h

Parameters​

The storage deposit for the new foundry must be provided via allowance (only the minimum required will be used).

Returns​

  • s (uint32): The serial number of the newly created foundry

mintNFT(I ImmutableData, a AgentID, C CollectionID, w WithdrawOnMint)​

Mints an NFT with ImmutableData I that will be owned by the AgentID a. It's possible to mint as part of a collection C (the caller must be the owner of the collection NFT to mint new NFTs as part of said collection). The mint can be done directly to any L1 address (it is not necessary for the target to have an account on the chain)

Parameters​

  • I ([]byte): ImmutableData for the NFT.
  • a (AgentID): AgentID that will be the owner of the NFT.
  • C (optional NFTID - default empty): collectionID (NFTID) for the NFT.
  • w (optional bool - default false): whether to withdrawal the NFT in the minting step (can only be true when the targetAgentID is a L1 address).

Returns​

  • D (MintID): the internal ID of the NFT at the time of minting that can be used by users/contracts to obtain the resulting NFTID on the next block

Views​

balance(a AgentID)​

Parameters​

  • a (AgentID): The account Agent ID.

Returns​

balanceNativeToken(a AgentID, N TokenID)​

Returns the amount of native tokens with Token ID N owned by any AgentID a on the chain.

Parameters​

  • a (AgentID): The account Agent ID.
  • N (TokenID): The Token ID.

Returns​

  • B (big.Int): The amount of native tokens in the account.

totalAssets()​

Returns the sum of all fungible tokens controlled by the chain.

Returns​

A map of AgentiD => 0x01.

getNativeTokenIDRegistry()​

Returns a list of all native tokenIDs that are owned by the chain.

Returns​

A map of TokenID => 0x01
