Send Transaction from Within Q-Client

Prerequisites

  • Ensure that your account is unlocked. For detailed instructions, refer to this guide.

How to Interact with the Chain within Q-Client

  1. Attach to the geth console.
docker-compose exec node geth attach data/geth.ipc
  1. In the console, paste the ABI of the contract you want to interact with. Here's an example ABI for votings:
var abi =[{"inputs":[{"internalType":"uint256","name":"_proposalId","type":"uint256"}],"name":"voteFor","outputs":[],"stateMutability":"nonpayable","typea":"function"},{"inputs":[{"internalType":"uint256","name":"_proposalId","type":"uint256"}],"name":"voteAgainst","outputs":[],"stateMutability":"nonpayable","type":"function"},{"inputs":[{"internalType":"uint256","name":"_proposalId","type":"uint256"}],"name":"veto","outputs":[],"stateMutability":"nonpayable","type":"function"}];

ABI source options:

  • Get abi from explorer
    • Go to explorer from Contract Registry page by clicking on address of voting contract.
    • If the smart contract has a proxy - go to implementation contract by clicking on the value next to Implementation
    • Scroll little bit down and open Contract tab.
    • Just after the Contract source code you will see the Contract ABI
  • The full list of system contracts abi could be found here.

You might need to use Line Break Removal Tool to avoid errors during creating abi variable. Or you can put abi to a file and simply run echo $(cat path_to_file_with_abi) in your terminal (not in geth console).

  1. Paste the following code with the desired contract address instead of 0xYourContractAddress. You can find the address in Q Params.
var VotingContract = web3.eth.contract(abi);
var VotingContractInstance = VotingContract.at('0xYourContractAddress');

For example, if you want to vote against a proposal about adding a new root node, use the address of the contract responsible for root node membership votings, which has the key governance.rootNodes.membershipVoting. Copy and paste that address instead of 0xYourContractAddress.

  1. Finally, call the desired function on the smart contract. Here's an example of voting against a proposal with ID VotingId:
VotingContractInstance.voteAgainst(VotingId, {from: eth.accounts[0], gas: 300000});

Replace VotingId with desired proposal id.

Gas limit options:

  • 500000 is enough to vote for or aganist in any voting.
  • 900000 could be required to execute some votings decisions.
  • 1000000 is basically enough to create a proposal, but it depends on type of the proposal and amount of changes.

As a result console returns the transaction hash, paste it in the scan search bar.
