Data Anchoring

This page introduces how to anchor service chain data to Klaytn main chain with Anchor API.

Before Getting Started

The x-chain-id value for calling the API is 8217 (Cypress) or 1001 (Baobab).
Essential parameters for calling APIs are described in individual examples.

Values that a user needs to enter for calling APIs will be represented with one pair of braces ({}). A user must enter the following values.

Item

Description

Note

chain-id

8217 or 1001

Cypress(Klaytn mainnet) or Baobab(Klaytn testnet

access-key-id

Auth ID

accessKeyId obtained from KAS Console - Security - Credential

secret-access-key

Auth Password

secretAccessKey obtained from KAS Console - Security - Credential

krn

(optional) ID of Account Pool

Unnecessary when using Default Account Pool

A KAS API Authentication Key (API Auth Key) provides access to all KAS services and all the rights to a Klaytn account which was created by calling Wallet API via this API Auth Key. The rights here include accessing and transferring all the assets (KLAY, etc.) of or sending a transaction from a Klaytn account. If you shared your API Auth Key with any unauthorized personnel, your Klaytn account could be compromised and might cause unwanted transaction execution.

DO NOT share your API Auth Key (Secret AccessKey or Authorization) with any unauthorized personnel. DO PUT efforts necessary to keep your API Auth Key safe for the security of your KAS/Klaytn account.

For details about service chain, please visit here. For details about data anchoring of service chain, please visit here.

Create Operator

KAS Console - Service - Anchor - Operator

Click the “Create” button on the KAS Console - Service - Anchor - Operator menu. Click the button to display the screen for creating operators as follows.

Configure Transaction Fee Payments for Data Anchoring Transaction

For creating an operator on the KAS Console, set the account that would pay the anchoring transaction fee for data to be sent by the operator.

Parameter

Description

feepayer

User fee delegation payment account address. Used when paying data anchoring transaction fees using the fee-payer account.

useOperator

Whether the operator or KAS will pay data anchoring transaction fee (the transaction fee will be charged to the user)

useGlobalFeepayer

Whether the fee payer account provided by KAS first pays the bill (the transaction fee will be charged to the user later)

Use useGlobalFeepayer to send the data anchoring transaction even if the KLAY balance is insufficient.
An error will occur if all thee parameters are not set.
The data anchoring transaction fee will be delegated according to the following priorities if one or more parameters are entered.

To ensure smooth execution of the anchoring transaction, use useGlobalFeepayer.

To use feepayer, first create a Fee Delegation Account Pool and Fee Delegation Account. The fee-payer account address (address) and KRN value of the fee delegation Account Pool are required to use the feepayer.

The fee payment priority will be as follows if several parameters are used together to send anchoring transactions.

Priority

Parameter

the transaction fee payer

feepayer

User’s separate fee-payer account

useOperator

Operator

useGlobalFeepayer

KAS (transaction fee will be charged to the user later)

The account with higher priority will pay the anchoring transaction fee first if all three parameters are used. If the operator struggles to pay the transaction fee because of insufficient feepayer account balance, the operator that sends an anchoring transaction will directly pay the fee as it has the next priority.

Create Operator

Once the parameters are set, create an operator. The operator must have a different name from other operators on the current KAS account.

Operator You can check the created operator in the operator list. Or you can call all operator list search APIs and search.

Send Data Anchoring Transaction

A user must call the Data Anchoring API to anchor the service chain data to the main chain. Request for the data anchoring transaction with the Klaytn account address of the operator created above.

Payload

The “payload” is the “data itself to anchor to the main chain.” Here are examples of “custom_field1” and “custom_field2” entered in the following payload value. Enter the required data to anchor to the main chain in JSON format (key:value), similar to “custom_field1” and “custom_field2,” to use the payload.

Enter the string in the “id” field to Search Anchoring Transaction using the string.

API Request

Call the Data Anchoring API as follows. You may use the REST API or KAS SDKs (caver-js, caver-java extensions) for this.
