$BlockchainBase = "ARK"

BlockchainTransaction[assoc]

represents an ARK blockchain transaction built from the components in the association assoc.

Details

  • Gives a symbolic representation of an ARK blockchain transaction; it does not submit the transaction, and the transaction is not signed.
  • BlockchainTransaction[…][prop] gives the value of the property prop for the transaction.
  • The following ARK transaction types are supported. The type is specified using the "Type" element of the association assoc:
  • "Transfer"store-of-value and value transfer
    "SecondSignature"add a second signature to an address
    "DelegateRegistration"register an address as a delegate

  • For transactions of type "SecondSignature", the following elements must be given:
  • "BlockchainBase"blockchain base to use

    "SecondPublicKey"secondary public key to assign to address
  • The following additional elements can also be given for type "SecondSignature":
  • "Fee"dynamic fee to be included
    "TransactionCount"current sender's transaction count plus one
    "SenderPublicKey"public key of the sender address
  • For transactions of type "DelegateRegistration", the following elements must be given:

  • For transactions of type "Vote", the following elements must be given:
  • "BlockchainBase"blockchain base to use
    "Type"type of transaction
    "Delegate"username or public key of a delegate to vote for
  • The following additional elements can also be given for type "Vote":
  • "Fee"dynamic fee to be included
    "TransactionCount"current sender's transaction count plus one
    "SenderPublicKey"public key of the sender address
  • For transactions of type "IPFS", the following elements must be given:
  • "BlockchainBase"blockchain base to use
    "Type"type of transaction
    "CID"CID of the IPFS asset
  • The following additional elements can also be given for type "IPFS":
  • "Fee"dynamic fee to be included
    "TransactionCount"current sender's transaction count plus one
    "SenderPublicKey"public key of the sender address
  • For transactions of type "DelegateResignation", the following elements must be given:
  • "BlockchainBase"blockchain base to use
    "Type"type of transaction
  • The following additional elements can also be given for type "DelegateResignation":
  • "Fee"dynamic fee to be included
    "TransactionCount"current sender's transaction count plus one
    "SenderPublicKey"public key of the sender address
  • For transactions of type "MultiPayment", the following elements must be given:
  • "BlockchainBase"blockchain base to use
    "Type"type of transaction
    "Payments"list of associations for each payment
  • The following additional elements can also be given for type "MultiPayment":
  • "Fee"dynamic fee to be included
    "TransactionCount"current sender's transaction count plus one
    "SenderPublicKey"public key of the sender address
  • Each association in the "Payments" list must have the following entries:
  • "Amount"amount of ARKtoshis to be transferred
    "Recipient"destination address
  • For transactions of type "MultiSignature", the following elements must be given:
  • "BlockchainBase"blockchain base to use
    "Type"type of transaction
    "PublicKeys"list of public keys for all of the participants of this multisignature address
    "MinimumKeys"minimum number of signatures needed to send a transaction with this multisignature address as sender
    "SenderPublicKey"public key of the sender address
  • The following additional elements can also be given for type "MultiSignature":
  • "Fee"dynamic fee to be included
    "TransactionCount"current sender's transaction count plus one
  • If the sender of the transaction is a multisignature address, the "SenderPublicKey" field becomes mandatory when creating the transaction.
  • BlockchainTransaction can represent ARK mainnet (default) and devnet transactions. To specify these networks, use the "BlockchainBase" value inside the required association or the BlockchainBase option.
