This guide uses the roles functionality provided by ``basecli`` to
create a multi-sig wallet. It builds upon the basecoin basics and key
management guides. You should have ``basecoin`` started with blocks
streaming in, and three accounts: ``rich, poor, igor`` where ``rich``
was the account used on ``basecoin init``, *and* run ``basecli init``
with the appropriate flags. Review the intro guides for more
information.
In this example, ``rich`` will create the role and send it some coins
(i.e., fill the multi-sig wallet). Then, ``poor`` will prepare a
transaction to withdraw coins, which will be approved by ``igor``. Let's
look at our keys:
::
basecli keys list
::
All keys:
igor 5E4CB7A4E729BA0A8B18DE99E21409B6D706D0F1
poor 65D406E028319289A0706E294F3B764F44EBA3CF
rich CB76F4092D1B13475272B36585EBD15D22A2848D
Using the ``basecli query account`` command, you'll see that ``rich``
has plenty of coins:
::
{
"height": 81,
"data": {
"coins": [
{
"denom": "mycoin",
"amount": 9007199254740992
}
],
"credit": []
}
}
whereas ``poor`` and ``igor`` have no coins (in fact, the chain doesn't
know about them yet):
::
ERROR: Account bytes are empty for address 65D406E028319289A0706E294F3B764F44EBA3CF
Create Role
-----------
This first step defines the parameters of a new role, which will have
control of any coins sent to it, and only release them if correct
conditions are met. In this example, we are going to make a 2/3
multi-sig wallet. Let's look a the command and dissect it below:
::
basecli tx create-role --role=10CAFE4E --min-sigs=2 --members=5E4CB7A4E729BA0A8B18DE99E21409B6D706D0F1,65D406E028319289A0706E294F3B764F44EBA3CF,CB76F4092D1B13475272B36585EBD15D22A2848D --sequence=1 --name=rich
In the first part we are sending a transaction that creates a role,
rather than transfering coins. The ``--role`` flag is the name of the
role (in hex only) and must be in double quotes. The ``--min-sigs`` and
``--members`` define your multi-sig parameters. Here, we require a
minimum of 2 signatures out of 3 members but we could easily say 3 of 5
or 9 of 10, or whatever your application requires. The ``--members``
flag requires a comma-seperated list of addresses that will be
signatories on the role. Then we set the ``--sequence`` number for the
transaction, which will start at 1 and must be incremented by 1 for
every transaction from an account. Finally, we use the name of the
key/account that will be used to create the role, in this case the
account ``rich``.
Remember that ``rich``'s address was used on ``basecoin init`` and is
included in the ``--members`` list. The command above will prompt for a
password (which can also be piped into the command if desired) then - if
executed correctly - return some data:
::
{
"check_tx": {
"code": 0,
"data": "",
"log": ""
},
"deliver_tx": {
"code": 0,
"data": "",
"log": ""
},
"hash": "4849DA762E19CE599460B9882DD42C7F19655DC1",
"height": 321
}
showing the block height at which the transaction was committed and its
hash. A quick review of what we did: 1) created a role, essentially an
account, that requires a minimum of two (2) signatures from three (3)
accounts (members). And since it was the account named ``rich``'s first
transaction, the sequence was set to 1.
Let's look at the balance of the role that we've created:
::
basecli query account role:10CAFE4E
and it should be empty:
::
ERROR: Account bytes are empty for address role:10CAFE4E
Next, we want to send coins *to* that role. Notice that because this is
the second transaction being sent by rich, we need to increase
``--sequence`` to ``2``:
::
basecli tx send --fee=90mycoin --amount=10000mycoin --to=role:10CAFE4E --sequence=2 --name=rich
We need to pay a transaction fee to the validators, in this case 90
``mycoin`` to send 10000 ``mycoin`` Notice that for the ``--to`` flag,
to specify that we are sending to a role instead of an account, the
``role:`` prefix is added before the role. Because it's ``rich``'s
second transaction, we've incremented the sequence. The output will be
nearly identical to the output from ``create-role`` above.
Now the role has coins (think of it like a bank).
Double check with:
::
basecli query account role:10CAFE4E
and this time you'll see the coins in the role's account:
::
{
"height": 2453,
"data": {
"coins": [
{
"denom": "mycoin",
"amount": 10000
}
],
"credit": []
}
}
``Poor`` decides to initiate a multi-sig transaction to himself from the
role's account. First, it must be prepared like so:
::
basecli tx send --amount=6000mycoin --from=role:10CAFE4E --to=65D406E028319289A0706E294F3B764F44EBA3CF --sequence=1 --assume-role=10CAFE4E --name=poor --multi --prepare=tx.json
you'll be prompted for ``poor``'s password and there won't be any
``stdout`` to the terminal. Note that the address in the ``--to`` flag
matches the address of ``poor``'s account from the beginning of the
tutorial. The main output is the ``tx.json`` file that has just been
created. In the above command, the ``--assume-role`` flag is used to
evaluate account permissions on the transaction, while the ``--multi``
flag is used in combination with ``--prepare``, to specify the file that
is prepared for a multi-sig transaction.
The ``tx.json`` file will look like this:
::
{
"type": "sigs/multi",
"data": {
"tx": {
"type": "chain/tx",
"data": {
"chain_id": "test_chain_id",
"expires_at": 0,
"tx": {
"type": "nonce",
"data": {
"sequence": 1,
"signers": [
{
"chain": "",
"app": "sigs",
"addr": "65D406E028319289A0706E294F3B764F44EBA3CF"
}
],
"tx": {
"type": "role/assume",
"data": {
"role": "10CAFE4E",
"tx": {
"type": "coin/send",
"data": {
"inputs": [
{
"address": {
"chain": "",
"app": "role",
"addr": "10CAFE4E"
},
"coins": [
{
"denom": "mycoin",
"amount": 6000
}
]
}
],
"outputs": [
{
"address": {
"chain": "",
"app": "sigs",
"addr": "65D406E028319289A0706E294F3B764F44EBA3CF"
},
"coins": [
{
"denom": "mycoin",
"amount": 6000
}
]
}
]
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
},
"signatures": [
{
"Sig": {
"type": "ed25519",
"data": "A38F73BF2D109015E4B0B6782C84875292D5FAA75F0E3362C9BD29B16CB15D57FDF0553205E7A33C740319397A434B7C31CBB10BE7F8270C9984C5567D2DC002"
},
"Pubkey": {

}
}
]
}
}
and it is loaded by the next command.
With the transaction prepared, but not sent, we'll have ``igor`` sign
and send the prepared transaction:
::
basecli tx --in=tx.json --name=igor
which will give output similar to:
::
{
"check_tx": {
"code": 0,
"data": "",
"log": ""
},
"deliver_tx": {
"code": 0,
"data": "",
"log": ""
},
"hash": "E345BDDED9517EB2CAAF5E30AFF3AB38A1172833",
"height": 2673
}
and voila! That's the basics for creating roles and sending multi-sig
transactions. For 3 of 3, you'd add an intermediate transactions like:
::
basecli tx --in=tx.json --name=igor --prepare=tx2.json
before having rich sign and send the transaction. The ``--prepare`` flag
writes files to disk rather than sending the transaction and can be used
to chain together multiple transactions.
We can check the balance of the role:
::
basecli query account role:10CAFE4E
and get the result:
::
{
"height": 2683,
"data": {
"coins": [
{
"denom": "mycoin",
"amount": 4000
}
],
"credit": []
}
}
and see that ``poor`` now has 6000 ``mycoin``:
::
basecli query account 65D406E028319289A0706E294F3B764F44EBA3CF
to confirm that everything worked as expected.
