TRC20 Exchange/Wallet

This tutorial is a guide for a developer who wants to know how to integrate TRC20 token to applications (e.g. wallet, exchange)

Smart Contract ABI: TRC20.json

TRC20 Contract Interface:

function totalSupply() public view returns (uint);
function balanceOf(address tokenOwner) public view returns (uint balance);
function allowance(address tokenOwner, address spender) public view returns (uint remaining);
function transfer(address to, uint tokens) public returns (bool success);
function approve(address spender, uint tokens) public returns (bool success);
function transferFrom(address from, address to, uint tokens) public returns (bool success);

event Transfer(address indexed from, address indexed to, uint tokens);
event Approval(address indexed tokenOwner, address indexed spender, uint tokens);

TomoChain provides RPC APIs. So you can use Web3 library to directly call the functions in the smart contract.

You can follow the steps below to interact with the smart contract by using Web3 library and NodeJS.

Init Web3 provider

At the first step, you need init Web3 provider by connecting TomoChain Fullnode RPC endpoint.

You can take a look to TomoChain Networks page to get the details of Testnet/Mainnet network information.

const Web3 = require('web3')
const web3 = new Web3('https://rpc.tomochain.com')
const chainId = 88

Unlock wallet

To create a wallet, you can refer to Create wallet page

You need to unlock the wallet before interact TRC20 contract

Example

// Unlock wallet by private key
const account = web3.eth.accounts.privateKeyToAccount(pkey)
const holder = account.address
web3.eth.accounts.wallet.add(account)
web.eth.defaultAccount = holder

Init Web3 TRC20 Contract

const trc20Abi = require('./TRC20.json')
const address = '[enter_your_contract_address]'
const trc20 = new web3.eth.Contract(trc20Abi,
        address, {gasPrice: 250000000, gas: 2000000 })

Note: you can get TRC20.json here

Check balance

You need to call function balanceOf() from TRC20 contract to check your token balance for an address.

Example

trc20.methods.balanceOf(holder).call()
.then((result) => {
    console.log(result)
}).catch(e => console.log(e))

Estimate TX fee (gas)

Before sending tokens, you need to estimate fee to make sure you have enough TOMO for sending.

You need to use this method:

myContract.methods.myMethod([param1[, param2[, ...]]]).estimateGas(options[, callback])

Example

trc20.methods.transfer(to, '500000000000000000000').estimateGas({
    from: holder
})
.then((result) => {
    console.log(result)
}).catch(e => console.log(e))

Transfer token

Token holder needs to call function transfer to send token to an address

Example

// send 500000000000000000000 tokens to this address (e.g decimals 18)
const to = "0xf8ac9d5022853c5847ef75aea0104eed09e5f402"
trc20.methods.transfer(to, '500000000000000000000').send({
    from: holder,
    gas: 2000000,
    gasPrice: 250000000,
    chainId: chainId
})
.then((result) => {
    console.log(result)
}).catch(e => console.log(e))
