Privacy APIs

To support private transactions in Quorum, the web3.eth.sendTransaction(object) API method has been modified.

web3.eth.sendTransaction(transactionObject [, callback])

Sends a transaction to the network.

Parameters
  1. Object - The transaction object to send:
    • from: String - The address for the sending account. Uses the web3.eth.defaultAccount property, if not specified.
    • to: String - (optional) The destination address of the message, left undefined for a contract-creation transaction.
    • value: Number|String|BigNumber - (optional) The value transferred for the transaction in Wei, also the endowment if it's a contract-creation transaction.
    • gas: Number|String|BigNumber - (optional, default: To-Be-Determined) The amount of gas to use for the transaction (unused gas is refunded).
    • gasPrice: Number|String|BigNumber - (optional, default: To-Be-Determined) The price of gas for this transaction in wei, defaults to the mean network gas price.
    • data: String - (optional) Either a byte string containing the associated data of the message, or in the case of a contract-creation transaction, the initialisation code.
    • nonce: Number - (optional) Integer of a nonce. This allows to overwrite your own pending transactions that use the same nonce.
    • privateFrom: String - (optional) When sending a private transaction, the sending party's base64-encoded public key to use. If not present and passing privateFor, use the default key as configured in the TransactionManager.
    • privateFor: List<String> - (optional) When sending a private transaction, an array of the recipients' base64-encoded public keys.
  2. Function - (optional) If you pass a callback the HTTP request is made asynchronous.
Returns

String - The 32 Bytes transaction hash as HEX string.

If the transaction was a contract creation use web3.eth.getTransactionReceipt() to get the contract address, after the transaction was mined.

Example
// compiled solidity source code using https://chriseth.github.io/cpp-ethereum/
var code = "603d80600c6000396000f3007c01000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000006000350463c6888fa18114602d57005b6007600435028060005260206000f3";

web3.eth.sendTransaction({
    data: code,
    privateFor: ["ROAZBWtSacxXQrOe3FGAqJDyJjFePR5ce4TSIzmJ0Bc="]
  },
  function(err, address) {
    if (!err) {
      console.log(address); // "0x7f9fade1c0d57a7af66ab4ead7c2eb7b11a91385"
    }
  }
});

JSON RPC Privacy API Reference

In addition to the JSON-RPC provided by Ethereum, Quorum exposes below two API calls.

eth_storageRoot

Returns the storage root of given address (Contract/Account etc)

Parameters
  1. address: String - The address to fetch the storage root for in hex
  2. block: String - (optional) The block number to look at in hex (e.g. 0x15 for block 21). Uses the latest block if not specified.
Returns

String - 32 Bytes storageroot hash as HEX string at latest block height. When blocknumber is given, it provides the storageroot hash at that block height.

eth_sendTransactionAsync

Sends a transaction to the network asynchronously. This will return immediately, potentially before the transaction has been submitted to the transaction pool. A callback can be provided to receive the result of submitting the transaction; a server must be set up to receive POST requests at the given URL.

Parameters
  1. Object - The transaction object to send:
    • from: String - The address for the sending account. Uses the web3.eth.defaultAccount property, if not specified.
    • to: String - (optional) The destination address of the message, left undefined for a contract-creation transaction.
    • value: Number|String|BigNumber - (optional) The value transferred for the transaction in Wei, also the endowment if it's a contract-creation transaction.
    • gas: Number|String|BigNumber - (optional, default: To-Be-Determined) The amount of gas to use for the transaction (unused gas is refunded).
    • gasPrice: Number|String|BigNumber - (optional, default: To-Be-Determined) The price of gas for this transaction in wei, defaults to the mean network gas price.
    • data: String - (optional) Either a byte string containing the associated data of the message, or in the case of a contract-creation transaction, the initialisation code.
    • nonce: Number - (optional) Integer of a nonce. This allows to overwrite your own pending transactions that use the same nonce.
    • privateFrom: String - (optional) When sending a private transaction, the sending party's base64-encoded public key to use. If not present and passing privateFor, use the default key as configured in the TransactionManager.
    • privateFor: List<String> - (optional) When sending a private transaction, an array of the recipients' base64-encoded public keys.
    • callbackUrl: String - (optional) the URL to perform a POST request to to post the result of submitted the transaction
Returns
  1. String - The empty hash, defined as 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

The callback URL receives the following object:

  1. Object - The result object:
    • id: String - the identifier in the original RPC call, used to match this result to the request
    • txHash: String - the transaction hash that was generated, if successful
    • error: String - the error that occurred whilst submitting the transaction.

If the transaction was a contract creation use web3.eth.getTransactionReceipt() to get the contract address, after the transaction was mined.

Example

For the sake of brevity, the data used for each of the following calls is the simple storage contract, with the bytecode defined as: js var storageData = "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";

For the RPC call and the immediate response:

//If a syntactic error occured with the RPC call. 
//In this example the wallet address is the wrong length
//so the error is it cannot convert the parameter to the correct type

    }
}

If the callback URL is provided, the following response will be received after the transaction has been submitted; this example assumes a webserver that can be accessed by calling http://localhost:8080 has been set up to accept POST requests:



// Request
curl -X POST http://127.0.0.1:22000 --data '{"jsonrpc":"2.0", "method":"eth_sendTransactionAsync", "params":[{"from":"0xed9d02e382b34818e88b88a309c7fe71e65f419d", "data": storageData, "gas": "0x47b760", "privateFor": ["ROAZBWtSacxXQrOe3FGAqJDyJjFePR5ce4TSIzmJ0Bc="], "callbackUrl": "http://localhost:8080"}], "id":67}'

// Response
//Note that the ID is the same in the callback as the request - this can be used to match the request to the response.

//If a semantic error occured with the RPC call.

    "error":"unknown account"
