Elrond Smart Contracts Tools and Python SDK

erdpy

Development is in progress. See CHANGELOG.

Elrond - Command Line Tools and Python SDK for interacting with Smart Contracts.

One can use erdpy to build, test and debug Elrond smart contracts, deploy them on the testnet and interact with contracts by issuing function calls (transactions).

Erdpy also acts as a wrapper over the Elrond REST API.

Installation

In order to install erdpy, make sure that you have Python installed (version 3.6 or later):

python3 --version

Then issue the following command:

pip3 install --user erdpy

Or, to upgrade at anytime,

pip3 install --user --upgrade --no-cache-dir erdpy

After installation update .profile file

source ~/.profile

You can check installation as follows:

pip3 show erdpy

Command-line interface

List project templates

Display the list of project templates (smart contracts templates):

$ erdpy templates
$ erdpy templates --json

These templates are downloaded from different sources, as configured in templates_config.py and are written in rust, C or Solidity.

Create new project

The following command creates a sample project called hello based on the template ultimate-answer (written in C):

$ erdpy new --template ultimate-answer --directory ./examples hello
$ erdpy new --template adder --directory ./examples myadder

Build a project

In order to build a project you only have to specify its directory. Let's build the projects under /example:

erdpy build ./examples/hello
erdpy build ./examples/myadder

The first one is written in C, while the second in rust. As you can see, the commands are similar.

Run smart contract unit tests

In order to run JSON unit tests, add the unit tests in the project of the smart contract, in a folder named test. Then run the following command:

erdpy test ./examples/hello --wildcard="*"

Deploy contract on testnet

In order to deploy a smart contract on the testnet, make sure it is already build and issue the following command:

erdpy deploy ./examples/hello --owner="8eb27b2bcaedc6de11793cf0625a4f8d64bf7ac84753a0b6c5d6ceb2be7eb39d" --pem="./examples/keys/alice.pem" --proxy="https://wallet-api.elrond.com"

Query contract values on testnet

In order to inspect values stored in the smart contract, issue a call to a pure, getter function like this:

erdpy query 00000000000000000500de287dcbcaa9b5867c7c83b489ab1a1a40ea4f39b39d --function="getUltimateAnswer" --proxy="https://wallet-api.elrond.com"

Tutorial for a simple counter written in C

Create the project:

erdpy new --template="simple-counter" --directory="./examples" mycounter

Build the project:

erdpy build ./examples/myconter

Deploy the contract:

erdpy deploy ./examples/mycounter --owner="8eb27b2bcaedc6de11793cf0625a4f8d64bf7ac84753a0b6c5d6ceb2be7eb39d" --pem="./examples/keys/alice.pem" --proxy="https://wallet-api.elrond.com"

Inspect the contract address in the output. Then use the address to call the increment function several times.

erdpy call 000000000000000005001d80d94d25a77b5a9a6295d260e3c0e4b53ee8cbb39d --function="increment" --caller="8eb27b2bcaedc6de11793cf0625a4f8d64bf7ac84753a0b6c5d6ceb2be7eb39d" --pem="./examples/keys/alice.pem" --proxy="https://wallet-api.elrond.com"

Upon running the increment function several times, let's query the counter variable.

erdpy query 000000000000000005001d80d94d25a77b5a9a6295d260e3c0e4b53ee8cbb39d --function="get" --proxy="https://wallet-api.elrond.com"

Tutorial for a simple adder written in RUST

Create the project:

erdpy new --template="adder" --directory="./examples" myadder

Build the project:

erdpy build ./examples/myadder

Deploy the contract and set an initial value of 42:

erdpy deploy ./examples/myadder --owner="8eb27b2bcaedc6de11793cf0625a4f8d64bf7ac84753a0b6c5d6ceb2be7eb39d" --pem="./examples/keys/alice.pem" --proxy="https://wallet-api.elrond.com" --arguments 100

Frist, let's query the accumulator value, it should have the initial value:

erdpy query 000000000000000005001d80d94d25a77b5a9a6295d260e3c0e4b53ee8cbb39d --function="getSum" --proxy="https://wallet-api.elrond.com"

Now let's add a value:

erdpy run --owner="000000000000000005001d80d94d25a77b5a9a6295d260e3c0e4b53ee8cbb39d" --pem="./examples/keys/alice.pem" --proxy="https://wallet-api.elrond.com" --function="add" --arguments 0x64
