TokenContract

Base token contract which

  • implements the Approvable API, with the approveBase() method left to be defined by subclasses
  • implements the Transferable API as a wrapper around the Approvable API

currentSlot​

get currentSlot(): CurrentSlot

Current global slot on the network. This is the slot at which this transaction is included in a block.

Source​

lib/mina/zkapp.ts:825

Methods​

approve()​

approve(update: AccountUpdate | AccountUpdateTree | AccountUpdateForest): void

Approve an account update or tree / forest of updates. Doing this means you include the account update in the zkApp's public input, which allows you to read and use its content in a proof, make assertions about it, and modify it.

`@method` myApprovingMethod(update: AccountUpdate) {
  this.approve(update);

  // read balance on the account (for example)
  let balance = update.account.balance.getAndRequireEquals();
}

Under the hood, "approving" just means that the account update is made a child of the zkApp in the tree of account updates that forms the transaction. Similarly, if you pass in an AccountUpdateTree, the entire tree will become a subtree of the zkApp's account update.

Passing in a forest is a bit different, because it means you set the entire children of the zkApp's account update at once. approve() will fail if the zkApp's account update already has children, to prevent you from accidentally excluding important information from the public input.

Parameters​

• update: AccountUpdate | AccountUpdateTree | AccountUpdateForest

Returns​

void

Inherited from​

SmartContract.approve

Source​

lib/mina/zkapp.ts:947

approveAccountUpdate()​

approveAccountUpdate(accountUpdate: AccountUpdate | AccountUpdateTree): Promise<void>

Approve a single account update (with arbitrarily many children).

Parameters​

• accountUpdate: AccountUpdate | AccountUpdateTree

Returns​

Promise\<void>

Source​

lib/mina/token/token-contract.ts:137

approveAccountUpdates()​

approveAccountUpdates(accountUpdates: (AccountUpdate | AccountUpdateTree)[]): Promise<void>

Approve a list of account updates (with arbitrarily many children).

Parameters​

• accountUpdates: (AccountUpdate | AccountUpdateTree)[]

Returns​

Promise\<void>

Source​

lib/mina/token/token-contract.ts:145

approveBase()​

abstract approveBase(forest: AccountUpdateForest): Promise<void>

Parameters​

• forest: AccountUpdateForest

Returns​

Promise\<void>

Source​

lib/mina/token/token-contract.ts:83

checkZeroBalanceChange()​

checkZeroBalanceChange(updates: AccountUpdateForest): void

Use forEachUpdate() to prove that the total balance change of child account updates is zero.

This is provided out of the box as it is both a good example, and probably the most common implementation, of approveBase().

Parameters​

• updates: AccountUpdateForest

Returns​

void

Source​

lib/mina/token/token-contract.ts:121

deploy()​

deploy(args?: DeployArgs): Promise<void>

Deploys a TokenContract.

In addition to base smart contract deployment, this adds two steps:

  • set the access permission to proofOrSignature(), to prevent against unauthorized token operations
    • not doing this would imply that anyone can bypass token contract authorization and simply mint themselves tokens
  • require the zkapp account to be new, using the isNew precondition. this guarantees that the access permission is set from the very start of the existence of this account. creating the zkapp account before deployment would otherwise be a security vulnerability that is too easy to introduce.

Note that because of the isNew precondition, the zkapp account must not be created prior to calling deploy().

If the contract needs to be re-deployed, you can switch off this behaviour by overriding the isNew precondition:

async deploy() {
  await super.deploy();
  // DON'T DO THIS ON THE INITIAL DEPLOYMENT!
  this.account.isNew.requireNothing();
}

Parameters​

• args?: DeployArgs

Returns​

Promise\<void>

forEachUpdate()​

forEachUpdate(updates: AccountUpdateForest, callback: (update: AccountUpdate, usesToken: Bool) => void): void

Iterate through the account updates in updates and apply callback to each.

This method is provable and is suitable as a base for implementing approveUpdates().

Parameters​

• updates: AccountUpdateForest

• callback

Returns​

void

Source​

lib/mina/token/token-contract.ts:90

init()​

init(): void

SmartContract.init() will be called only when a SmartContract will be first deployed, not for redeployment. This method can be overridden as follows

class MyContract extends SmartContract {
 init() {
   super.init();
   this.account.permissions.set(...);
   this.x.set(Field(1));
 }
}

Returns​

void

SmartContract.init

Source​

lib/mina/zkapp.ts:773

newSelf()​

newSelf(methodName?: string): AccountUpdate

Same as SmartContract.self but explicitly creates a new AccountUpdate.

Parameters​

• methodName?: string

Returns​

AccountUpdate

Inherited from​

SmartContract.newSelf

Source​

lib/mina/zkapp.ts:860

requireSignature()​

requireSignature(): void

Use this command if the account update created by this SmartContract should be signed by the account owner, instead of authorized with a proof.

Note that the smart contract's Permissions determine which updates have to be (can be) authorized by a signature.

If you only want to avoid creating proofs for quicker testing, we advise you to use LocalBlockchain({ proofsEnabled: false }) instead of requireSignature(). Setting proofsEnabled to false allows you to test your transactions with the same authorization flow as in production, with the only difference being that quick mock proofs are filled in instead of real proofs.

Returns​

void

SmartContract.requireSignature

lib/mina/zkapp.ts:806

send()​

send(args: {
  "amount": number | bigint | UInt64;
  "to": PublicKey | AccountUpdate | SmartContract;
 }): AccountUpdate

Parameters​

• args

• args.amount: number | bigint | UInt64

• args.to: PublicKey | AccountUpdate | SmartContract

Returns​

AccountUpdate

Inherited from​

SmartContract.send

Source​

lib/mina/zkapp.ts:951

skipAuthorization()​

skipAuthorization(): void

Use this command if the account update created by this SmartContract should have no authorization on it, instead of being authorized with a proof.

WARNING: This is a method that should rarely be useful. If you want to disable proofs for quicker testing, take a look at LocalBlockchain({ proofsEnabled: false }), which causes mock proofs to be created and doesn't require changing the authorization flow.

Returns​

void

Inherited from​

SmartContract.skipAuthorization

transfer()​

transfer(
   from: PublicKey | AccountUpdate, 
   to: PublicKey | AccountUpdate, 
amount: number | bigint | UInt64): Promise<void>

Transfer amount of tokens from from to to.

Parameters​

• from: PublicKey | AccountUpdate

• to: PublicKey | AccountUpdate

• amount: number | bigint | UInt64

Returns​

Promise\<void>

analyzeMethods()​

static analyzeMethods(__namedParameters: {
  "printSummary": false;
 }): Promise<Record<string, {
  "actions": number;
  "digest": string;
  "gates": Gate[];
  "rows": number;
}>>

This function is run internally before compiling a smart contract, to collect metadata about what each of your smart contract methods does.

For external usage, this function can be handy because calling it involves running all methods in the same "mode" as compile() does, so it serves as a quick-to-run check for whether your contract can be compiled without errors, which can greatly speed up iterating.

analyzeMethods() will also return the number of rows of each of your method circuits (i.e., the number of constraints in the underlying proof system), which is a good indicator for circuit size and the time it will take to create proofs. To inspect the created circuit in detail, you can look at the returned gates.

Note: If this function was already called before, it will short-circuit and just return the metadata collected the first time.

Parameters​

• __namedParameters= {}

• __namedParameters.printSummary: undefined | boolean= false

Returns​

Promise\<Record\<string, { "actions": number; "digest": string; "gates": Gate[]; "rows": number; }>>

an object, keyed by method name, each entry containing:

  • rows the size of the constraint system created by this method
  • digest a digest of the method circuit
  • actions the number of actions the method dispatches
  • gates the constraint system, represented as an array of gates

compile()​

static compile(__namedParameters: {
  "cache": Cache.FileSystemDefault;
  "forceRecompile": false;
 }): Promise<{
  "provers": Prover[];
  "verificationKey": {
     "data": string;
     "hash": Field;
    };
  "verify": (statement: Statement<FieldConst>, proof: unknown) => Promise<boolean>;
}>

Compile your smart contract.

This generates both the prover functions, needed to create proofs for running @methods, and the verification key, needed to deploy your zkApp.

Although provers and verification key are returned by this method, they are also cached internally and used when needed, so you don't actually have to use the return value of this function.

Under the hood, "compiling" means calling into the lower-level Pickles and Kimchi libraries to create multiple prover & verifier indices (one for each smart contract method as part of a "step circuit" and one for the "wrap circuit" which recursively wraps it so that proofs end up in the original finite field). These are fairly expensive operations, so expect compiling to take at least 20 seconds, up to several minutes if your circuit is large or your hardware is not optimal for these operations.

Parameters​

• __namedParameters= {}

• __namedParameters.cache: undefined | Cache= Cache.FileSystemDefault

• __namedParameters.forceRecompile: undefined | boolean= false

Returns​

Promise\<{ "provers": Prover[]; "verificationKey": { "data": string; "hash": Field; }; "verify": (statement: Statement\<FieldConst>, proof: unknown) => Promise\<boolean>; }>

provers: Prover[];

digest()​

static digest(): Promise<string>

Computes a hash of your smart contract, which will reliably change whenever one of your method circuits changes. This digest is quick to compute. it is designed to help with deciding whether a contract should be re-compiled or a cached verification key can be used.

Returns​

Promise\<string>

the digest, as a hex string
