Deploying and Interacting with a Contract ​

The simplest path is:

  1. test locally with xian-contracting
  2. submit with xian-py
  3. inspect state and transaction results through the node APIs

Submit a Contract ​

python
from xian_py import Wallet, Xian

wallet = Wallet(private_key="YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY")
client = Xian("http://127.0.0.1:26657", wallet=wallet)

code = """
balances = Hash(default_value=0)

@construct
def seed():
    balances[ctx.caller] = 1_000_000

@export
def balance_of(address: str) -> float:
    return balances[address]
"""

result = client.submit_contract(
    name="con_example",
    code=code,
    stamps=500_000,
)

Simulate Before You Send ​

python
preview = client.simulate(
    contract="currency",
    function="transfer",
    kwargs={"amount": 100, "to": "bob"},
)

Read Back State ​

python
balance = client.get_state("currency", "balances", wallet.public_key)
source = client.get_contract("con_example")

Inspect Through the Dashboard ​

If the dashboard service is running, you can also use:

  • /api/status
  • /api/tx/<hash>
  • /api/contract/<name>
  • /api/abci_query/...
