Introduction

This is a library used to use web3.py on conflux-bridge(?). This library hacks the signing machanism of web3.py.

Install

This library requires python >= 3.7

It is recommended to use this library in a virtual environment.

python -m venv venv
source ./venv/bin/activate

or

conda create -n venv python=3.7
conda activate venv

Then install in the virtual environment

pip install conflux-web3py-signer

How to use

Basic Usage

Import conflux_we3py_signer before import web3.

import conflux_web3py_signer
import web3

Use with Brownie

Firstly, you are supposed to install brownie and add conflux-bridge endpoints to brownie networks

pip install conflux_web3py_signer[brownie]
cfx-brownie networks add Conflux cfx-testnet-bridge host=https://cfx2ethtest.nftrainbow.cn chainid=1

Then use with command-line with target network.

cfx-brownie --network cfx-testnet-bridge

What is Done

Transaction Cast

When the modified construct_sign_and_send_raw_middleware is going to sign a transaction, it will convert an EIP-1559 transaction to conflux transaction following the rule:

• If gasPrice is missing, use maxFeePerGas as gas price.
• Fill epochHeight with w3.eth.block_number, which correspondes to epoch_number in conflux.
• Estimate the transaction and fill storageLimit from estimate result.

Address Cast

EOA account addresses are all converted to begin with 0x1 and is encoded in checksum format
