Wallet

The following RPC calls interact with the komodod software, and are made available through the komodo-cli software.

addmultisigaddress nrequired [ "key", ... ] ( "account" )

The addmultisigaddress method adds a multi-signature address to the wallet, where nrequired indicates the number of keys (out of the total provided) required to execute a transaction.

The keys function as signatures, allowing multiple parties or entities to manage an account. Each key in the array can be an address or a hex-encoded public key.

DEPRECATED: If account is specified, the method assigns the multi-signature address to that account.

NameTypeDescription
nrequired(numeric, required)the number of required keys (out of the n submitted)
"keysobject"(string, required)a json array of addresses or hex-encoded public keys
"address"(string)the address or hex-encoded public key
"account"(string, optional)DEPRECATED: if provided, "account" MUST be set to the empty string "" to represent the default account; passing any other string will result in an error

NameTypeDescription
"address"(string)an address associated with the keys

Add a multisig address from 2 addresses:

Command:

./komodo-cli addmultisigaddress 2 '["RSWwtqsNr9mW21UXRm6Lz4AzQnj4pVzzkp","RW8d8EChHTooVbwF3reqHYgkzWCnJFLXgh"]'

You can find your rpcuser, rpcpassword, and rpcport in the coin's .conf file.

Command:

curl --user $rpcuser:$rpcpassword --data-binary '{"jsonrpc": "1.0", "id":"curltest", "method": "addmultisigaddress", "params": [2, ["RL4CuA2MSAbBiqJKQEr2TKnKT2fSwK99mG","RBYVFCxpJdLgvUixhguxzuH1TJpoNLYCJ6"]] }' -H 'content-type: text/plain;' http://127.0.0.1:$rpcport/

This method requires that the coin daemon have the exportdir runtime parameter enabled.

NameTypeDescription
"destination"(string, required)the destination filename, saved in the directory set by the exportdir runtime parameter

NameTypeDescription

Overwriting an existing file is not permitted. The destination parameter accepts only alphanumeric characters.

This method requires that the coin daemon have the exportdir runtime parameter enabled.

NameTypeDescription

z_mergetoaddress [ "fromaddress", ... ] "toaddress" ( fee ) ( transparent_limit ) ( shielded_limit ) ( memo )

CAUTION: z_mergetoaddress is DISABLED but can be enabled as an experimental feature.

The z_mergetoaddress method merges multiple utxos and notes into a single utxo or note. The method works for both t addresses and z addresses, both separately and in combination. Coinbase utxos are ignored; use z_shieldcoinbase to combine those into a single note.

This is an asynchronous operation, and utxos selected for merging will be locked. If there is an error, they are unlocked. The RPC call listlockunspent can be used to return a list of locked utxos.

The number of utxos and notes selected for merging can be limited by the caller. If the transparent limit parameter is set to 0, the mempooltxinputlimit option will determine the number of utxos. Any limit is constrained by the consensus rule defining a maximum transaction size of 100000 bytes.

The following special strings are accepted inside the fromaddresses array:

  • "*": Merge both utxos and notes from all addresses belonging to the wallet

  • "ANY_TADDR": Merge utxos from all t addresses belonging to the wallet

  • "ANY_ZADDR": Merge notes from all z addresses belonging to the wallet

If a special string is given, any given addresses of that type will be ignored

NameTypeDescription

"address"(string)can be a t address or a z address
"toaddress"(string, required)the t address or z address to receive the combined utxo
fee(numeric, optional, default=0.0001)the fee amount to attach to this transaction
transparent_limit(numeric, optional, default=50)limit on the maximum number of transparent utxos to merge; you may set this value to 0 to use the node option mempooltxinputlimit
shielded_limit(numeric, optional, default=10)limit on the maximum number of hidden notes to merge; you may set this value to 0 to merge as many as will fit in the transaction
"memo"(string, optional)encoded as hex; when toaddress is a z address, this value will be stored in the memo field of the new note

NameTypeDescription

z_sendmany "fromaddress" [ { "address": ..., "amount": ... }, ... ] ( minconf ) ( fee )

The z_sendmany method sends one or more transactions at once, and allows for sending transactions of types t --> t, t --> z, z --> z, z --> t. It is the principle method for dealing with shielded z transactions in the Komodo ecosystem.

The amount values are double-precision floating point numbers. Change from a t address flows to a new t address address, while change from z address returns to itself. When sending coinbase utxos to a z address, change is not allowed. The entire value of the utxo(s) must be consumed. Currently, the maximum number of z address outputs is 54 due to transaction-size limits.

NameTypeDescription
"fromaddress"(string, required)the sending t address or z address

z_shieldcoinbase "fromaddress" "tozaddress" ( fee ) ( limit )

The z_shieldcoinbase method shields transparent coinbase funds by sending the funds to a shielded z address. This is an asynchronous operation and utxos selected for shielding will be locked. If there is an error, they are unlocked.

The RPC call listlockunspent can be used to return a list of locked utxos. The number of coinbase utxos selected for shielding can be limited by the caller. If the limit parameter is set to zero, the mempooltxinputlimit option will determine the number of uxtos. Any limit is constrained by the consensus rule defining a maximum transaction size of 100000 bytes.

zcrawjoinsplit rawtx inputs outputs vpub_old vpub_new

DEPRECATED.
  • inputs: a JSON object mapping {note: zcsecretkey, ...}
  • outputs: a JSON object mapping {zcaddr: value, ...}

Splices a joinsplit into a raw transaction. Inputs are unilaterally confidential. Outputs are confidential between sender/receiver. The vpub_old and vpub_new values are globally public and move transparent value into or out of the confidential value store, respectively.

Note: The caller is responsible for delivering the output enc1 and enc2 to the appropriate recipients, as well as signing rawtxout and ensuring it is mined. (A future RPC call will deliver the confidential payments in-band on the blockchain.)

Output:

{
  "encryptednote1": enc1,
  "encryptednote2": enc2,
  "rawtxn": rawtxout
}

zcrawkeygen
