  • requestProcessingTime (N) is the API request processing time (in millisec)

Example: Refer to Get Last Exchanges example.

Get Minting Target

Get the current minting target of a mintable currency.

Request:

  • requestType is getMintingTarget
  • currency is the mintable currency ID
  • account is the minting account ID
  • units is the amount (in QNT) of currency to mint
  • requireBlock is the block ID of a block that must be present in the blockchain during execution (optional)
  • requireLastBlock is the block ID of a block that must be last in the blockchain during execution (optional)

Note: units cannot be greater than 1/10000 of the maxSupply (refer to Issue Currency). Increasing units decreases targetBytes.

Response:

  • difficulty (S) is the current difficulty, an estimate of the number of hashes needed to meet the target
  • targetBytes (S) is the 32-byte target (little endian), which must equal or exceed the computed hash of the nonce
  • currency (S) is the currency ID
  • counter (N) is the counter associated with the minting account, the value previously submitted to Currency Mint
  • lastBlock (S) is the last block ID on the blockchain (applies if requireBlock is provided but not requireLastBlock)
  • requestProcessingTime (N) is the API request processing time (in millisec)

Note: If a nonce is found such that its hash is less than the target, it can be submitted to the blockchain along with counter + 1 using Currency Mint, which results in units NQT being credited to the minting account. difficulty is inversely related to the target, and so increases exponentially as maxSupply is approached because the target is defined as (2exp-1)/units, where exp decreases linearly from 256-minDifficulty to 256-maxDifficulty. (Refer to Issue Currency for maxSupply, minDifficulty and maxDifficulty.)

Example: Refer to Get Minting Target example.

Get Offer

Get offer details given an offer ID.

Request:

  • requestType is getOffer
  • offer is the offer ID
  • requireBlock is the block ID of a block that must be present in the blockchain during execution (optional)
  • requireLastBlock is the block ID of a block that must be last in the blockchain during execution (optional)

Response:

  • sellOffer and buyOffer (O) are objects with the following fields:
    • offer (S) is the offer ID
    • expirationHeight (N) is the blockchain height of offer expiration
    • accountRS (S) is the Reed-Solomon address of the offering account
    • limit (S) is the cumulative limit of currency buys or sells
    • currency (S) is the currency ID
    • supply (S) is the current currency supply
    • account (S) is the offering account number
    • height (N) is the blockchain height of offer creation
    • rateNQT (S) is the currency exchange rate (in NQT per QNT)
  • lastBlock (S) is the last block ID on the blockchain (applies if requireBlock is provided but not requireLastBlock)
  • requestProcessingTime (N) is the API request processing time (in millisec)

Example: Refer to Get Offer example.

Issue Currency

Issue a new currency or re-issue an existing currency with different properties. POST only.

Request: Refer to Create Transaction Request for common parameters.

  • requestType is issueCurrency
  • name is the currency name, 3 to 10 characters and longer than the currency code
  • code is the uppercase currency code with the following fee structure: three letters 25000 BLX, four letters 1000 BLX, five letters 40 BLX, re-issue 40 BLX
  • description is the currency description
  • type is the currency type bitmask, from least to most significant bit: exchangeable, controllable, reservable, claimable, mintable, non-shuffleable
  • initialSupply is the initial currency supply (in QNT) (must match maxSupply unless mintable or claimable, must be zero for claimable)
  • reserveSupply is the reserve currency supply (in QNT) (must match maxSupply)
  • maxSupply is the maximum currency supply (in QNT)
  • issuanceHeight is the blockchain height at which a reservable currency is issued if the reserve minimum is met
  • minReservePerUnitNQT is the minimum currency reserve (in NQT per QNT of reserveSupply) for issuance of a reservable currency
  • minDifficulty is the minimum difficulty (minimum 1) for a mintable currency
  • maxDifficulty is the maximum difficulty (maximum 255 and greater than minDifficulty) for a mintable currency
  • ruleset is for future use, always set to zero
  • algorithm is an algorithm code for a mintable currency: 2 for SHA256, 3 for SHA3, 5 for Scrypt, 25 for Keccak25
  • decimals is the number of decimal places used by the currency (optional, default zero)

Notes: Reservable requires exchangeable and/or claimable, as does controllable; but mintable requires exchangeable. Claimable requires reservable, non-mintable and zero initialSupply.

Response: Refer to Create Transaction Response. The transaction ID is also the currency ID.

Example: Refer to Issue Currency example.

Publish Exchange Offer

Publish an exchange offer for an exchangeable currency. POST only.

Request: Refer to Create Transaction Request for common parameters.

  • requestType is publishExchangeOffer
  • currency is the currency ID
  • buyRateNQT is the offered buy rate (in NQT per QNT)
  • sellRateNQT is the offered sell rate (in NQT per QNT)
  • totalBuyLimit is the cumulative limit (in QNT) of currency buys
  • totalSellLimit is the cumulative limit (in QNT) of currency sells
  • initialBuySupply is the initial amount (in QNT) of currency offered to buy, cannot exceed totalBuyLimit
  • initialSellSupply is the initial amount (in QNT) of currency offered to sell, cannot exceed totalSellLimit
  • expirationHeight is the blockchain height for expiration of the offer

Notes: Each time currency is bought in response to an exchange request to sell currency (refer to Currency Sell), totalBuyLimit is reduced and the supply of currency offered to sell increases by the amount bought. When totalBuyLimit becomes zero, the buy offer is withdrawn. These same notes apply if buy and sell are interchanged. Only the most recent offer associated with an account is valid, even if an earlier offer by that account has not yet expired or reached its limits.

Response: Refer to Create Transaction Response. The transaction ID is also the offer ID.

Example: Refer to Publish Exchange Offer example.
