Create stand-alone transaction

In this guide, we will generate some wealth for the Fetch.ai testnet and create a standalone transaction. After the completion of the transaction, we get the transaction digest. With this we can search for the transaction on the Dorado block explorer.

This guide requires the open-aea-ledger-fetchai plug-in installed in your Python environment:

pip install open-aea-ledger-fetchai

First, import the python and application specific libraries and set the static variables.

import logging

from aea_ledger_fetchai import FetchAICrypto

from aea.crypto.helpers import create_private_key, try_generate_testnet_wealth
from aea.crypto.ledger_apis import LedgerApis
from aea.crypto.wallet import Wallet

logger = logging.getLogger("aea")
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)

FETCHAI_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE_1 = "fetchai_private_key_1.txt"
FETCHAI_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE_2 = "fetchai_private_key_2.txt"

Create the private keys

    # Create a private keys
    create_private_key(
        FetchAICrypto.identifier, private_key_file=FETCHAI_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE_1
    )
    create_private_key(
        FetchAICrypto.identifier, private_key_file=FETCHAI_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE_2
    )

Create the wallets

Once we created the private keys we need to generate the wallets.

    # Set up the wallets
    wallet_1 = Wallet({FetchAICrypto.identifier: FETCHAI_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE_1})
    wallet_2 = Wallet({FetchAICrypto.identifier: FETCHAI_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE_2})

Generate wealth

Since we want to send funds from wallet_1 to wallet_2, we need to generate some wealth for the wallet_1. We can do this with the following code

    # Generate some wealth
    try_generate_testnet_wealth(
        FetchAICrypto.identifier, wallet_1.addresses[FetchAICrypto.identifier]
    )

Send transaction

Finally, we create a transaction that sends the funds to the wallet_2

    # Create the transaction and send it to the ledger.
    tx_nonce = LedgerApis.generate_tx_nonce(
        FetchAICrypto.identifier,
        wallet_2.addresses.get(FetchAICrypto.identifier),
        wallet_1.addresses.get(FetchAICrypto.identifier),
    )
    transaction = LedgerApis.get_transfer_transaction(
        identifier=FetchAICrypto.identifier,
        sender_address=wallet_1.addresses.get(FetchAICrypto.identifier),
        destination_address=wallet_2.addresses.get(FetchAICrypto.identifier),
        amount=1,
        tx_fee=1,
        tx_nonce=tx_nonce,
    )
    signed_transaction = wallet_1.sign_transaction(
        FetchAICrypto.identifier, transaction
    )
    transaction_digest = LedgerApis.send_signed_transaction(
        FetchAICrypto.identifier, signed_transaction
    )

    logger.info("Transaction complete.")
    logger.info("The transaction digest is {}".format(transaction_digest))
