When working with the Kaia Blockchain, developers can leverage Foundry Cast to interact with Kaia’s Ethereum-compatible network, using Ethereum Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) from the command line. Foundry Cast allows developers to manage transactions, query chain data, access account information, and perform conversions, offering versatility and efficiency for Kaia Web3 development. + +In this article, we’ll explore Foundry Cast, its functions, and how you can apply it on Kaia Blockchain development through practical examples. + +## Table of Contents + +- What is Foundry Cast +- Key Functions of Foundry Cast on Kaia Blockchain + - Help and Auto-complete Commands for Kaia Blockchain + - Chain Commands for Kaia Blockchain + - Transaction Commands for Kaia Blockchain + - Block Commands For Kaia Blockchain + - Account Commands For Kaia Blockchain + - ENS Commands For Kaia Blockchain + - Etherscan Commands For Kaia Blockchain + - ABI Commands For Kaia Blockchain + - Conversion Commands For Kaia Blockchain + - Utility Commands For Kaia Blockchain + - Wallet Commands For Kaia Blockchain + +## Prerequisites + +- Basic understanding of Kaia Blockchain, Ethereum, and smart contracts. +- Ability to install Foundry and access Kaia’s RPC endpoints (e.g., `https://rpc.kaia.network`). +- Familiarity with executing terminal commands and handling terminal outputs. +- Knowledge of Solidity and interacting with smart contracts. +- Understanding ABI encoding/decoding for Kaia smart contract interactions. +- Ability to estimate and manage gas fees for transactions on Kaia. +- Set up network parameters (Mainnet, testnet, or local network). + +## What is Foundry Cast? + +Foundry Cast is a command-line interface (CLI) tool in the Foundry suite designed for interacting with Ethereum-compatible blockchains, such as Kaia Blockchain, via RPC calls. It allows users to send transactions, query blockchain data, invoke smart contract functions, and manage the local Ethereum state, all while providing easy access to on-chain information. + +Kaia Blockchain, being Ethereum-compatible, means you can use Foundry Cast to interact with Kaia the same way you would with Ethereum, but with Kaia’s unique features and performance enhancements. + +## Key Functions of Foundry Cast on Kaia Blockchain + +### Help and Auto-complete Commands for Kaia Blockchain + +#### 1. Cast Help + +The `cast help` command guides interacting with Kaia’s blockchain, allowing you to easily execute transactions, call smart contract functions, and retrieve data. The command is designed to be developer-friendly, providing syntax and usage examples for Kaia interactions. + +**Example: Calling a Kaia Smart Contract Function** +To query the balance of an account on Kaia using an ERC20 token contract, you would use the `cast call` command on your terminal with the following parameters: + +- The contract address of the ERC20 token. +- The ABI-encoded function signature to query the balance (`balanceOf(address)`). +- The address of the account whose balance you want to check. + +```bash +cast call 0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2 "balanceOf(address)(uint256)" 0xYourKaiaAddress +``` + +**Explanation:** +- This address `0xC02aaA39b223FE8D0A0e5C4F27eAD9083C756Cc2` points to an ERC20 token contract deployed on the Kaia network. +- `balanceOf(address)(uint256)` is the ABI-encoded function to query an address’s token balance. + +#### 2. Cast Completions + +For a more streamlined development process, use `cast completions` to generate autocompletion scripts. This command ensures that you can quickly and accurately type commands, which is especially helpful when interacting with Kaia’s blockchain in real-time. + +**Step-by-Step Guide for Shell Autocompletion with Cast on Kaia Blockchain** + +1. **Run `cast completions` to Generate Autocompletion Script** + In your terminal, run: + + ```bash + cast completions + ``` + + This command will output a script that enables autocompletion for Foundry Cast commands. + +2. **Add the Script to Your Shell Configuration** + - For Bash, copy the output script and paste it into your `~/.bashrc` file. + - For Zsh, paste it into `~/.zshrc`. + + To edit the `.bashrc` file, use: + + ```bash + nano ~/.bashrc + ``` + + Paste the generated script (e.g., `_cast_complete` function) into this file, then save and exit. + +3. **Source the Configuration File** + To activate the autocompletion, source your shell configuration file: + + ```bash + source ~/.bashrc + ``` + +4. **Testing the Autocompletion** + Start typing a command, such as `cast ca`, and press Tab to see autocompletion suggestions. For example: + + ```bash + cast ca # Press Tab to get suggestions like `call`, `calldata`, `chain-id` + ``` + +**Example Command with Kaia Blockchain** +Assuming you want to send a transaction on the Kaia blockchain using `cast send`, after typing `cast send` and pressing Tab, autocompletion will show relevant options such as `--rpc-url`, `--gas-limit`, `--gas-price`, and `--value`. + +The command for sending a transaction on Kaia might look like this: + +```bash +cast send --rpc-url https://kaia-node.example.com --gas-limit 21000 --to 0xRecipientAddress +``` + +## Chain Commands For Kaia Blockchain + +### 1. `cast chain-id` +The `cast chain-id` command in Foundry Cast retrieves the unique chain ID for the Kaia blockchain network you're connected to. This helps verify the network before performing any blockchain interactions, such as deploying contracts or sending transactions. + +#### Example: Using `cast chain-id` to Verify the Network on Kaia + +1. **Run `cast chain-id` to Get the Chain ID** + To retrieve the chain ID for Kaia, simply run the following command: + + ```bash + cast chain-id + ``` + + **Result (Kaia example):** + ```bash + 12345 + ``` + + This output (e.g., `12345`) indicates you’re connected to the Kaia Mainnet, where `12345` is the Kaia chain ID. + +2. **Specify a Custom RPC URL** + If you are connected to a different Kaia network, like a testnet, specify the RPC URL with the `--rpc-url` option to ensure you're querying the correct network. + + **Example command for verifying the chain ID on Kaia Testnet:** + + ```bash + cast chain-id --rpc-url https://testnet.kaia.io/rpc + ``` + + **Result (Kaia Testnet example):** + ```bash + 67890 + ``` + + This indicates the chain ID for the Kaia Testnet. + +#### Example: Verifying Network Before Deployment +Before deploying a smart contract, you might want to ensure you're on the correct Kaia network. Here’s how you can use a chain ID check script to prevent accidental deployments to the wrong network: + +```bash +# Check if we're on Kaia Mainnet +if [ "$(cast chain-id --rpc-url https://mainnet.kaia.io/rpc)" = "12345" ]; then + echo "Connected to Kaia Mainnet. Proceeding with deployment..." + # Add your deployment command here +else + echo "Not connected to Kaia Mainnet. Check your RPC URL." +fi +``` + +--- + +### 2. `cast chain` +The `cast chain` command in Foundry Cast returns the symbolic name of the blockchain network you're connected to, such as `mainnet`, `testnet`, or any specific Kaia network. This command is useful for verifying your network before performing any actions, like deploying smart contracts or sending transactions. + +#### Example: Using `cast chain` to Confirm the Network on Kaia + +1. **Run `cast chain` to Display the Current Network** + To retrieve the symbolic name of the network (e.g., `Kaia Mainnet`), simply run: + + ```bash + cast chain + ``` + + **Result (Kaia Mainnet example):** + ```plaintext + kaia-mainnet + ``` + + This output (`kaia-mainnet`) indicates that you're connected to the Kaia Mainnet. + +2. **Using `--rpc-url` to Specify a Different Kaia Network** + To check the network name for a specific Kaia RPC URL, such as a testnet, you can add the `--rpc-url` flag. + + **Example:** + ```bash + cast chain --rpc-url https://testnet.kaia.io/rpc + ``` + + **Result (Kaia Testnet example):** + ```plaintext + kaia-testnet + ``` + +#### Example: Checking Network Before Script Execution +Before running deployment scripts or other actions, verifying the network is a good practice to prevent errors like accidental deployments to the wrong network. + +```bash +# Set the expected network +EXPECTED_NETWORK="kaia-mainnet" + +# Check the actual network using cast chain +ACTUAL_NETWORK=$(cast chain --rpc-url https://mainnet.kaia.io/rpc) + +if [ "$ACTUAL_NETWORK" = "$EXPECTED_NETWORK" ]; then + echo "Connected to $EXPECTED_NETWORK. Proceeding with deployment..." + # Add deployment commands here +else + echo "Connected to $ACTUAL_NETWORK instead of $EXPECTED_NETWORK. Aborting deployment." +fi +``` + +--- + +### 3. `cast client` +The `cast client` command in Foundry Cast retrieves the client version of the blockchain node you're connected to, such as the software and version of the node (e.g., Geth, Besu). This is useful for ensuring that the node you're interacting with supports the required features or is running an expected version. + +#### Example: Using `cast client` with Kaia RPC Endpoint + +1. **Run `cast client` to Check the Node’s Client Version** + To see the client version of the Kaia node you're connected to, use the following command: + + ```bash + cast client --rpc-url https://rpc.kaia.network + ``` + + **Expected Output:** + ```plaintext + Geth/v1.10.25-stable-.../linux-amd64/go1.17.6 + ``` + + This output indicates that you're connected to a Kaia node running the Geth client, with version `v1.10.25` and environment details such as `linux-amd64` and Go programming language version `go1.17.6`. + +#### Application Example: Ensuring Compatibility with Client Features +You can retrieve the client version and ensure compatibility with specific features by checking the version string before running critical tasks, such as deploying contracts or sending transactions. + +```bash +# Retrieve client information +CLIENT_INFO=$(cast client --rpc-url https://rpc.kaia.network) + +# Display client info +echo "Connected to client: $CLIENT_INFO" + +# Check if the client is a compatible version +if [[ $CLIENT_INFO == "Geth/v1.10" ]]; then + echo "Compatible client detected. Proceeding with tasks..." + # Add smart contract deployment or transaction tasks here +else + echo "Incompatible client version. Aborting operation." +fi +``` + +--- + +## Transaction Commands + +### 1. `cast send` +The `cast send` command is used to sign and send transactions to the blockchain, which can be particularly useful when interacting with smart contracts, transferring tokens, or executing blockchain operations. For the Kaia blockchain, the primary difference is the RPC URL and any specific nuances related to Kaia's implementation. + +#### Sending ETH with `cast send` on Kaia + +**Sending Kaia's Native Token (ETH equivalent) from One Account to Another** +To send Kaia's native token from one account to another, specify the recipient's address, the amount of Kaia tokens to send (in the smallest unit, similar to wei in Ethereum), your private key (or encrypted wallet), and the RPC URL for the Kaia network. + +**Example:** + +```bash +cast send --rpc-url https://rpc.kaia.network --private-key YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY --to 0xRecipientAddress --value 1000000000000000000 # 1 Kaia token in the smallest unit (wei) +``` + +- `--rpc-url`: The URL of the Kaia RPC endpoint (`https://rpc.kaia.network`). +- `--private-key`: The private key used to sign the transaction. +- `--to`: The recipient’s address. +- `--value`: The amount of Kaia tokens to send (in smallest unit, similar to wei in Ethereum, where 1 Kaia = 10^18 smallest units). + +**Expected Output:** +```plaintext +Transaction sent! Hash: 0x123abc456def7890... +``` + +This command sends 1 Kaia token (equivalent to `1,000,000,000,000,000,000` smallest units) from your address to `0xRecipientAddress`. The output will display a transaction hash you can use to track the transaction on the Kaia blockchain. + +#### Sending Tokens (ERC-20 Example) on Kaia + +If you want to send an ERC-20 token on the Kaia network, you will interact with the token contract by calling its `transfer` function. + +**Example:** + +```bash +cast send --rpc-url https://rpc.kaia.network --private-key YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY --to 0xTokenContractAddress --data "0xa9059cbb000000000000000000000000RecipientAddress0000000000000000000000000000000000" +``` + +**Explanation of parameters:** +- `--to`: The address of the ERC-20 token contract. +- `--data`: The data for calling the `transfer` function in the ERC-20 token contract. This includes the `transfer(address recipient, uint256 amount)` function encoded in ABI format. + +The `data` field encodes the transfer function: +- The first 8 characters (`0xa9059cbb`) represent the transfer function's signature in ABI format. +- The next 64 characters represent the recipient's address, padded to 32 bytes. +- The final 64 characters represent the amount of tokens to send, also in the appropriate encoding (in smallest units, like wei for Kaia). + +## 2. cast call + +The `cast call` command in Foundry is used to interact with smart contracts by making read-only calls. These calls do not alter the blockchain's state, thus they do not require gas fees. It's commonly used to fetch data or perform non-state-changing operations. + +### Example: Querying the Balance of an ERC-20 Token on Kaia + +To query the balance of a specific ERC-20 token for an address on Kaia, you will need to use the token's contract address and the relevant method (balanceOf(address)). + +Steps: +1. Get the contract address of the token you are querying (for this example, let's assume it's the USDT token on Kaia). +2. Use the balanceOf(address) method to check the balance of the token for a specific address. + +Example Command: +``` +cast call --rpc-url https://rpc.kaia.network \ +0xTokenContractAddress "balanceOf(address)(uint256)" 0xYourAddress +``` + +Explanation of the Command: +- `--rpc-url https://rpc.kaia.network`: Specifies the RPC URL for Kaia's network. +- `0xTokenContractAddress`: The address of the ERC-20 token contract on the Kaia network. +- `"balanceOf(address)(uint256)"`: The ABI-encoded signature for the balanceOf function. It takes an address as input and returns the balance as a uint256. +- `0xYourAddress`: The address for which you want to check the token balance. + +Example Output: +``` +1234567890000000000000000 +``` + +This output shows the token balance in the smallest unit (similar to wei in Ethereum). For example, if the token has 6 decimals (like USDT), the raw output needs to be divided by 10^6 to get the human-readable balance. + +To Convert the Balance: +If the token has 6 decimals, you would convert the balance as follows: +``` +1234567890000000000000000 / 10^6 = 1234567.89 USDT +``` + +## 3. cast estimate + +The `cast estimate` command is used to estimate the gas required for executing a function on a smart contract. This is valuable when interacting with contracts, such as transferring tokens, where you want to know the cost before actually submitting the transaction. + +### Example: Estimating Gas for an ERC-20 Token Transfer on Kaia + +For this example, we'll assume you're transferring USDT or another ERC-20 token on Kaia. + +Steps: +1. Get the contract address of the ERC-20 token on the Kaia network. +2. Use the transfer(address,uint256) function to estimate the gas cost for transferring tokens. +3. Specify the recipient address and the token amount you wish to transfer. + +Example Command: +``` +cast estimate --rpc-url https://rpc.kaia.network \ +0xTokenContractAddress "transfer(address,uint256)" 0xRecipientAddress 1000000000000000000000 +``` + +Explanation of the Command: +- `--rpc-url https://rpc.kaia.network`: The RPC URL for the Kaia network. +- `0xTokenContractAddress`: The address of the ERC-20 token contract on Kaia. +- `"transfer(address,uint256)"`: The ABI-encoded signature of the transfer function, which takes an address and a uint256 value (the amount to transfer). +- `0xRecipientAddress`: The recipient's address to which you want to send tokens. +- `1000000000000000000000`: The amount to transfer in the smallest unit (wei equivalent for the token). This example sends 1,000 USDT, considering the token has 6 decimals (1,000 * 10^6). + +Example Output: +``` +30000 +``` + +This output means the estimated gas required for this transfer transaction is 30,000 gas units. + +## 4. cast tx + +The `cast tx` command fetches details of a specific transaction, such as block number, status, logs, and other transaction parameters. This is especially helpful for confirming the success of a transaction or reviewing its metadata after submission. + +### Example: Using cast tx to Retrieve Transaction Details on Kaia + +Suppose you've executed a transaction on the Kaia network and want to review its details. First, locate the transaction hash (tx hash) for that transaction. + +Example Transaction Hash: +``` +0x5c4d8b78a1ed506219234ad54bb4f0d19a6ac697c0c9b0154b417de85b4e47e +``` + +Command to Retrieve Transaction Details: +To fetch details of this transaction, use: +``` +cast tx 0x5c4d8b78a1ed506219234ad54bb4f0d19a6ac697c0c9b0154b417de85b4e47e --rpc-url https://rpc.kaia.network +``` + +Example Output: +```json +{ + "blockHash": "0x5d4eb2f80e25835c8d5c3a87c80f18923f8be32b3950da76a7b4b4c6de45bcd8", + "blockNumber": 13752563, + "from": "0xYourAddress", + "gas": 21000, + "gasPrice": "1000000000", + "hash": "0x5c4d8b78a1ed506219234ad54bb4f0d19a6ac697c0c9b0154b417de85b4e47e", + "input": "0x", + "nonce": 14, + "to": "0xRecipientAddress", + "transactionIndex": 2, + "value": "1000000000000000000", + "status": "success", + "logs": [... ] +} +``` + +## 5. cast publish + +The `cast publish` command in Foundry allows you to send a locally signed transaction to the blockchain. This command is essential when you want to submit a transaction to the network without using a full node interface, often used for transferring tokens or interacting with smart contracts. + +### Publishing a Raw Transaction on Kaia Network + +Let's go through an example where we send Ether (or any compatible token on Kaia) by publishing a pre-signed transaction. + +Step-by-Step Guide: +1. Prepare Required Information: + - Sender Address: Your Ethereum-compatible address, e.g., 0xYourAddress. + - Recipient Address: The address to receive the Ether, e.g., 0xRecipientAddress. + - Amount: The amount in wei (smallest unit), e.g., 1000000000000000000 (1 ETH). + - Private Key: The private key of the sender for signing the transaction. + +2. Sign the Transaction Locally: +First, sign the transaction using cast wallet sign: + +``` +cast wallet sign --private-key 0xYourPrivateKey \ +--to 0xRecipientAddress \ +--value 1000000000000000000 \ +--gas 21000 \ +--gas-price 1000000000 +``` + +Explanation +- `--private-key`: Your private key is used to sign the transaction. +- `--to`: The recipient's address. +- `--value`: The amount of Ether to send, in wei. +- `--gas`: Estimated gas required, e.g., 21000 for a basic transfer. +- `--gas-price`: Gas price in wei (adjust as per network conditions). + +This command will generate a signed transaction string. + +3. Publish the Signed Transaction: +After signing, use cast publish to send the transaction to the Kaia network: + +``` +cast publish --signed "0xf86c808504a817c800825208940xRecipientAddress880de0b6b3a7640000801ba0b90cfd712f746c011f7fffc9b74f5e35b7f9f8da3f92a6183a199ffea56f7d1da02c7a27f7fc50bc2e870f09d278b60e1788d345f8d4f949557f15db34c90bb76bfe76f" --rpc-url https://rpc.kaia.network +``` + +- `--signed`: The signed transaction string created in the previous step. +- `--rpc-url`: Specifies Kaia's RPC endpoint. + +Expected Output: +``` +Transaction successfully sent: 0x7fc9d83c0a1c70b9d6bde2b0b05b4fc4d8b54b8f9be440309d4c53d4a4d7a183 +``` + +Transaction Hash: The transaction hash returned by the network to track the transaction status. + +Use Cases: +- Smart Contract Interactions: Use this method to interact with a smart contract, e.g., transferring tokens or using a dApp. +- Sending Tokens: For simple token transfers, just sign and publish the transaction, and track it using the provided transaction hash. + +With cast publish, you can interact with the Kaia blockchain in a secure, efficient way, making transactions easier to track and verify. + +## 6. Cast receipt + +The `cast receipt` command in Foundry retrieves the transaction receipt from the blockchain, providing critical information about a transaction's outcome, gas usage, logs, and more. This command is particularly helpful for verifying a transaction's success and analyzing its impact on the blockchain. + +### Retrieving a Transaction Receipt on Kaia Network + +Step-by-Step Guide: +1. Get the Transaction Hash: Obtain the transaction hash of the transaction you want to inspect. For this example, the transaction hash is: + ``` + 0x5c4d8b78a1ed506219234ad54bb4f0d19a6ac697c0c9b0154b417de85b4e47e + ``` + +2. Use cast receipt to Retrieve Transaction Receipt: + With the transaction hash in hand, run the following command: + ``` + cast receipt 0x5c4d8b78a1ed506219234ad54bb4f0d19a6ac697c0c9b0154b417de85b4e47e --rpc-url https://rpc.kaia.network + ``` + + - `--rpc-url`: Specify Kaia's RPC endpoint to connect to the network. + +Example Output: +```json +{ + "status": "success", + "blockHash": "0x5d4eb2f80e25835c8d5c3a87c80f18923f8be32b3950da76a7b4b4c6de45bcd8", + "blockNumber": 13752563, + "transactionHash": "0x5c4d8b78a1ed506219234ad54bb4f0d19a6ac697c0c9b0154b417de85b4e47e", + "gasUsed": 21000, + "cumulativeGasUsed": 21000, + "contractAddress": null, + "logs": [], + "logsBloom": "0x...", + "transactionIndex": 2, + "from": "0xYourAddress", + "to": "0xRecipientAddress", + "gasPrice": "1000000000", + "nonce": 14, + "value": "1000000000000000000" +} +``` + +Explanation of the Output: +- `status`: Indicates if the transaction succeeded or failed. +- `blockHash` and `blockNumber`: The block containing and number of the transaction. +- `transactionHash`: The unique identifier for the transaction. +- `gasUsed`: Total gas used by this transaction. +- `cumulativeGasUsed`: Cumulative gas used up to this transaction +- `contractAddress`: Indicates the address of a smart contract if the transaction involves contract creation or interaction (null if it was a simple transfer). +- `logs`: Logs generated by the transaction, useful for capturing events emitted by smart contracts. +- `transactionIndex`: The position of this transaction within the block. +- `from and to`: The sender and recipient addresses involved in the transaction. +- `gasPrice`: The gas price paid for the transaction. +- `nonce`: The number of transactions initiated by the sender. Each transaction increments the nonce by one. +- `value`: The amount of cryptocurrency transferred in wei. + +## Use Cases + +1. **Verify Transaction Success**: Quickly confirm whether the transaction was successful or encountered issues. +2. **Optimize Gas Usage**: Analyze gas consumption to make contract interactions more efficient. +3. **Access Transaction Logs**: View event logs for deeper insights, especially useful in decentralized applications (DApps) and smart contract interactions. + +Using `cast receipt` allows you to track and review transaction details effectively on the Kaia network, ensuring transactions proceed as expected and optimizing blockchain interactions. + +--- + +## 7. `cast access-list` on Kaia + +The `cast access-list` command is a useful tool for generating an access list to include with a transaction. This access list specifies which addresses and storage slots the transaction will interact with, optimizing gas usage by reducing processing costs, as introduced in **EIP-2929**. + +### Creating an Access List for a Transaction on Kaia + +If you're about to send a transaction on Kaia's network that interacts with a smart contract, you can use `cast access-list` to define an access list. This specifies the addresses and storage slots accessed by this transaction, optimizing gas costs. + +### Steps to Create an Access List for Kaia + +1. **Prepare the Necessary Details**: + - **Sender Address**: The address from which the transaction will be sent on Kaia. + - **Contract Address**: The Kaia smart contract address the transaction will interact with. + - **Storage Slot**: The specific storage slot on the contract that will be accessed. + +2. **Use `cast access-list` to Generate the Access List**: + Example command to generate an access list for a transaction on Kaia: + +Here's the content converted to Markdown format: + +```markdown +# Generating Access Lists for Transactions on Kaia + +## Command Syntax + +Example command for generating an access list for a transaction on Kaia: + +```bash +cast access-list --from 0xYourAddress --to 0xKaiaContractAddress --storage 0xStorageSlot +``` + +Where: +- `--from 0xYourAddress`: Specifies the address initiating the transaction on Kaia. +- `--to 0xKaiaContractAddress`: Indicates the contract on Kaia the transaction interacts with. +- `--storage 0xStorageSlot`: Defines the storage slot on the contract accessed by the transaction. + +## Example Output + +```json +{ + "accessList": [ + { + "address": "0xKaiaContractAddress", + "storageKeys": [ + "0xStorageSlot" + ] + } + ] +} +``` + +## Explanation of Access List + +- `accessList`: Lists each contract address and storage slot accessed by the transaction. +- `address`: Kaia smart contract address that the transaction interacts with. +- `storageKeys`: Storage slots in the Kaia contract accessed during the transaction. + +## Benefits on Kaia + +By specifying an access list in your Kaia transactions, you: + +1. Optimize Gas Costs: Save on gas fees by reducing costs for accessing storage locations. +2. Enhance Transaction Efficiency: Enable Kaia nodes to precompute values, making execution faster and more economical. + +This approach is especially useful for transactions with frequent contract interactions on Kaia. + +## Using Cast Logs on Kaia Blockchain + +The cast logs command in Foundry is used to fetch and decode logs from a transaction on the blockchain, providing visibility into event data emitted by smart contracts. In the Kaia blockchain, cast logs can help developers track events generated by contract functions such as transfers, updates, or other actions providing insights into how the transaction interacted with the network. + +## Fetching and Decoding Event Logs from a Transaction on Kaia + +Suppose you are interested in analyzing a transaction on Kaia to understand which events were emitted by a contract interaction. Here's how you can use cast logs to fetch the transaction logs: + +# Fetching Transaction Logs with Cast Logs + +## Command Syntax + +To fetch logs from a specific transaction using cast logs: + +```bash +cast logs --tx 0xTransactionHash +``` + +Replace `0xTransactionHash` with the actual hash of the transaction you want to analyze. + +## Example Output + +The command will output JSON data containing the decoded logs, including: + +```json +[ + { + "address": "0xContractAddress", + "topics": ["0xSomeTopic"], + "data": "0xSomeEventData" + }, + // More log entries... +] +``` + +## Benefits of Using Cast Logs + +1. Event Analysis: Decode complex event data emitted by smart contracts. +2. Debugging: Identify issues in contract execution by examining emitted events. +3. Analytics: Gather insights into contract usage patterns and performance metrics. +4. User Interface Integration: Enhance DApps by providing real-time updates based on contract events. + +Using cast logs effectively allows developers to gain deeper insights into Kaia transactions, improving debugging capabilities and overall development efficiency on the network. + + # Block Commands For Kaia Blockchain +Commands under this category provide insights into blockchain blocks. + +## 1. Cast find-block: +The cast find-block command in Foundry is used to find the closest block number for a given timestamp.

It also allows for better interaction with deployed contracts, especially for developers working within the ecosystem. + +## 5. Cast codesize: +The cast codesize command in Foundry is used to fetch the size of the bytecode for a deployed smart contract. This command returns the size of the smart contract in terms of the number of bytes of its bytecode. It can be useful for understanding the complexity of a smart contract, estimating gas costs, or checking if the contract's bytecode fits within Ethereum's or Kaia's block size constraints. + +#### Using cast codesize on Kaia Blockchain +Let’s say you want to retrieve the size of a deployed smart contract on the Kaia blockchain to assess its complexity or gas consumption. +#### Steps: +1.

Larger contracts often result in higher deployment or interaction costs. By checking the size, developers can assess how much gas they might need. +3. `Compliance with Blockchain Limits`: Both Ethereum and Kaia have maximum contract size limits for deployed contracts. For instance, Ethereum limits contract bytecode to 24KB. Knowing the size helps ensure that a contract fits within these limits. +4. `Auditing`: Auditors can check the contract size to see if it aligns with expected sizes for certain types of contracts, flagging any unusually large or suspicious contracts. +5. `Deployment Monitoring`: If the contract size is unexpectedly large, it might indicate that the contract includes unnecessary logic or has been tampered with, triggering further investigation. + +The cast codesize command helps developers and auditors assess the size of a smart contract’s bytecode.

Conventionally, this involves a two-step process: first, the user grants an allowance using the approve() function, and then the protocol uses transferFrom() to transfer the tokens. While this method has long been the standard for ERC-20 tokens, it poses notable challenges in terms of user experience (UX) and security. To overcome these limitations, new approaches have been developed, including EIP-2612 and, more recently, Permit2, which builds on and enhances the capabilities of EIP-2612. + +Notably, EIP-2612 introduced the concept of "permit" functions, which allow users to authorize token transfers without executing an on-chain transaction each time. This approach uses off-chain signatures, enabling users to grant permissions away from the blockchain while maintaining security.

API and smart contract integration. +7. Familiarity with Remix, Hardhat, Foundry, and cryptographic libraries. + + + +## Introduction to Permit2 + +Permit2 is a smart contract designed to enable gasless token approvals and delegated token transfers for ERC-20 tokens. By using Permit2, users can authorize token transfers without paying gas for each approval. Instead, they sign an off-chain message that is validated on-chain by the Permit2 contract. +Permit2 is a smart contract that unifies the functionalities of two separate contracts: SignatureTransfer and AllowanceTransfer. These two contracts have different purposes, but they are frequently used together in decentralized finance and token management systems. +` +`SignatureTransfer`: A contract that allows for transfers based on a signature, bypassing the need for token allowances. The permissions granted by a signature are temporary and only last for the duration of the specific transaction for which the signature is valid. + +`AllowanceTransfer`: A contract that allows users to set specific allowances for token spending. This gives the spender permission to spend a predefined amount of tokens for a specified time. Transfers via AllowanceTransfer are only successful if the proper allowances have been set beforehand. +By combining these two contracts, Permit2 allows developers to integrate both approaches into a single, unified contract, creating a more seamless and efficient experience for users and reducing the complexity of managing token transfers and permissions. + +### Features of Permit2 +1. `Signature-Based Transfers and Permissions` +One of the standout features of Permit2 is its ability to handle signature-based transfers. This feature is valuable because it bypasses the need to pre-approve token allowances, which often require additional transactions and can be cumbersome for users. +In the SignatureTransfer model, the owner of the tokens signs a message granting temporary permission to a spender to transfer tokens. The signature is valid for that specific transaction duration, which makes it convenient for single-use cases. For example, suppose a user wants to authorize a token transfer to another party for a one-time transaction. In that case, they can simply sign a message granting the required permission, without needing a long-term allowance setup. +In comparison, AllowanceTransfer requires the user to approve a specific amount of tokens that a spender can use. These allowances are typically set for a specific time frame and allow multiple transfers as long as the spender is within the approved limit. +Permit2 simplifies both of these models and combines them into a single contract, which allows developers to choose between the two approaches, depending on the use case, while maintaining a simple interface and reducing the risk of errors or inefficiencies in token management. + +2. `Approval and Token Permissions` +Before a contract can request a user’s tokens, the user must approve Permit2 through the token contract. This is similar to the process of approving traditional token transfers but uses the Permit2 contract address for the approval. +For example, a user can approve the Permit2 contract to spend a certain amount of tokens: +``` +solidity +USDC.approve(permit2Address, totalAmount); +``` + +To maximize efficiency, users are encouraged to use the max approval approach, which approves the Permit2 contract to spend an unlimited amount of tokens on behalf of the user: +``` +solidity +totalAmount = type(uint256).max; +``` +This maximizes the flexibility for the user and minimizes the need for repeated approvals. + +3.`Transfer Functions` +Permit2 includes several transfer functions to handle token movement under both the SignatureTransfer and AllowanceTransfer models: + + `permitTransferFrom`: This function allows users to transfer a token from an owner through signature validation. The transfer is only successful if the signature is valid and matches the conditions specified by the owner. + +`permitWitnessTransferFrom`: This is an extended version of the permitTransferFrom function, where an additional "witness" parameter is passed along with the signature. The witness is extra data (e.g., trade details) that the user also needs to sign, ensuring that other transaction conditions are validated alongside the transfer. + +`permitTransferFrom (Batched)`: For multiple token transfers in a single transaction, the batched version allows users to transfer several tokens simultaneously, significantly reducing transaction costs and increasing efficiency. + +`permitWitnessTransferFrom (Batched)`: The batched version of permitWitnessTransferFrom allows for multiple transfers while also validating extra data passed through the witness, offering more flexibility for complex transactions. + +These functions provide multiple ways to transfer tokens depending on the requirements of the transaction and whether additional validation is necessary. By offering both single and batched transfer options, Permit2 caters to a wide range of use cases, from simple one-time transfers to complex, multi-token transfers that require extra data validation. + +4.`Nonce Schema` +To prevent replay attacks (where the same signed message can be reused), Permit2 introduces a nonceBitmap mechanism. Instead of using traditional incrementing nonces, Permit2 uses a non-monotonic nonce schema based on a bitmap structure, where each owner’s address is mapped to a uint248 word position. The nonceBitmap uses 256 bits per bitmap to track the valid state of nonces. +``` +solidity +mapping(address => mapping(uint248 => uint256)) public nonceBitmap; +``` +The nonce is signed by the owner of the tokens, where the first 248 bits correspond to the word position, and the remaining 8 bits represent the specific bit position within that word. The nonceBitmap ensures that each signature is unique and prevents any replay of the signed message. +This mechanism enhances security by ensuring that the same signature cannot be reused multiple times, offering better protection against malicious attempts to duplicate valid signatures. + +5.`Security Considerations` +While Permit2 offers powerful features, it is crucial to take into account potential security risks. A key consideration is verifying the origin of the transaction. If a signer (let’s say Bob) signs a permit to transfer tokens, an attacker (Eve) could steal Bob’s signature and submit it to a contract with herself as the recipient, allowing Eve to steal Bob’s tokens. + +To mitigate such risks, contracts like Universal Router perform additional checks to ensure that the message sender (msg.sender) matches the expected spender address. By passing msg.sender as both the owner and from parameters, it ensures that only the intended spender can initiate the transfer, preventing unauthorized access to the tokens. + +In addition to checking the origin of the transaction, integrating contracts must verify that the signature is being used for its intended purpose. This prevents malicious actors from exploiting valid signatures to conduct unauthorized transfers. + +### How to Use Permit2 +1. Initial Approval +Before any transfer, users must approve the Permit2 contract to manage their tokens. This is typically done once for a specific token, often with a maximum allowance value (e.g., uint256 max), and can be done by the user via the approve() function. + +2. Off-Chain Signature Request +Once the initial approval is granted, dApps only need to request an off-chain signature from the user to approve specific transactions. The signature contains the allowance details (spender, value, deadline) and is verified by the Permit2 contract. + +3. Token Transfer Execution +Once the Permit2 contract verifies the signature, it uses the pre-approved allowance to transfer tokens on behalf of the user. This reduces the need for users to approve every single transaction and minimizes gas costs. + +### Advantages of Permit2 +`Backward Compatibility`: Unlike EIP-2612, which required tokens to implement the permit() function, Permit2 works with all ERC-20 tokens, making it a universal solution for token approvals. + +`Gas Efficiency`: Permit2 minimizes gas costs by allowing signature-based transfers. It reduces the need for multiple on-chain approvals and transfers, streamlining the process. + +`Enhanced Security`: using expiration dates and offering a mechanism to revoke approvals at any time, Permit2 enhances security compared to traditional approval systems. Additionally, it limits the attack surface by consolidating approval checks into a single contract. + +## Integration Of Permit2 To Kaia Blockchain + +This guide outlines how to adapt and integrate Permit2 functionality for stateless operations on the Kaia blockchain. The integration demonstrates secure, decentralized, and efficient token transfer mechanisms using Permit2 or equivalent verifier/oracle logic on Kaia. + +Permit2 is a standard that extends EIP-2612 by enabling generalized approvals and token allowances. In this integration, we: +1. Adapt Permit2 for Kaia’s stateless paradigm. +2. Integrate with Kaia’s verifier or oracle for ZKP and off-chain data interactions. +3. Test and deploy a CodeWithPermit2 equivalent tailored for Kaia. + +## Architecture +1. `Permit2 Contract/Verifier`: +- Handles stateless transfer permits. +- Verifies signatures or ZK proofs for secure transfers. + +2. `CodeWithPermit2 (Application Contract)`: +- Implements token transfer logic using Permit2. +- Emits events for auditing and tracking. + +3. `Kaia-Specific Adaptations`: +- Statelessness: Use ZKP verification to ensure operations comply without maintaining state. +- Oracle Interaction: Retrieve token balances or allowances dynamically. + +### Step-by-Step Integration + +The GitHub repository below shows code to integrate permit2: https://github.com/PaulElisha/permit2-example-integration + +This code defines the ICodeWithPermit2 interface for contracts that use Permit2, a gas-efficient, signature-based token transfer mechanism. Key components include: + +#### Events: +`Permit2Transfer`: Logs transfers using the Permit2 system. +`AssetTransferred`: Logs general asset transfers. + +#### Struct: +`TransferParam`: Groups the token address, receiver, and transfer amount. + +#### Function: +`transferWithPermit2`: Executes token transfers using a cryptographic signature (sig) to authorize the transaction, based on Permit2's rules. + +The interface serves as a blueprint for implementing signature-based token approvals and transfers, enhancing gas efficiency and user experience. +``` +// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT +pragma solidity ^0.8.0; + +import "permit2/interfaces/ISignatureTransfer.sol"; + +interface ICodeWithPermit2 { + event Permit2Transfer( + address indexed asset, + address indexed from, + address indexed to, + uint256 amount + ); + + event AssetTransferred( + address indexed asset, + address indexed from, + address indexed to, + uint256 amount + ); + + struct TransferParam { + address asset; + address receiver; + uint256 amount; + } + + function transferWithPermit2( + TransferParam memory transferParam, + ISignatureTransfer.PermitTransferFrom memory permit2Transfer, + ISignatureTransfer.SignatureTransferDetails memory transferDetails, + bytes memory sig + ) external; +} +``` + +### Step 2: Create the Transfer Contract + +The CodeWithPermit2 contract facilitates token transfers using the Permit2 system, which enables signature-based approvals for transfers. The key steps in the contract are: + +`Validation`: It checks that the token and transfer parameters match, and ensures the sender's balance and the contract’s balance are sufficient. + +`Permit2 Integration`: It uses the permitTransferFrom function from the Permit2 contract to authorize the transfer based on the signature. + +`Transfer Execution`: It transfers the tokens to the receiver, ensuring the receiver’s balance increases and logs the transaction with events. + +`Reverts on Failure`: If any checks fail (such as invalid parameters, insufficient balance, or transfer failure), the transaction reverts. + +Overall, it securely and efficiently handles token transfers using Permit2’s signature-based system. +``` +// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT +pragma solidity ^0.8.0; + +import "./interfaces/ICodeWithPermit2.sol"; +import "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC20/utils/SafeERC20.sol"; +import "permit2/Permit2.sol"; +import "permit2/interfaces/ISignatureTransfer.sol"; + +contract CodeWithPermit2 is ICodeWithPermit2 { + using SafeERC20 for IERC20; + + Permit2 private immutable permit2; + + constructor(Permit2 _permit2) { + permit2 = _permit2; + } + + function transferWithPermit2( + TransferParam memory transferParam, + ISignatureTransfer.PermitTransferFrom memory permit2Transfer, + ISignatureTransfer.SignatureTransferDetails memory transferDetails, + bytes memory sig + ) public returns (bool) { + if (transferParam.asset != permit2Transfer.permitted.token) { + revert(); + } + + uint256 userBalance = IERC20(transferParam.asset).balanceOf(msg.sender); + + if (userBalance > 0) { + if ( + transferDetails.to != address(this) || + transferDetails.requestedAmount > userBalance || + permit2Transfer.permitted.amount != transferDetails.amount + ) { + revert(); + } + } + + uint256 contractBalance = IERC20(transferParam.asset).balanceOf( + address(this) + ); + + permit2.permitTransferFrom( + permit2Transfer, + transferDetails, + msg.sender, + sig + ); + + if (contractBalance <= 0) { + revert(); + } + + emit Permit2Transfer( + transferParam.asset, + msg.sender, + address(this), + transferDetails.requestedAmount + ); + + uint256 receiverBalanceBefore = IERC20(transferParam.asset).balanceOf( + transferParam.receiver + ); + + transferParam.asset.safeTransfer( + transferParam.receiver, + transferParam.amount + ); + + uint256 receiverBalanceAfter = IERC20(transferParam.asset).balanceOf( + transferParam.receiver + ); + + if (receiverBalanceAfter <= receiverBalanceBefore) { + revert(); + } + + emit AssetTransferred( + transferParam.asset, + address(this), + transferParam.receiver, + transferDetails.requestedAmount + ); + + return true; + } +} +``` + +### Step 3: Deploy the Contract + +The DeployCodeWithPermit2 contract is a deployment script that deploys the CodeWithPermit2 contract, using an existing Permit2 contract at a specified address (kaia_permit2_address).

By abstracting the approval process into a standalone contract, it provides both backward compatibility and enhanced security features. Developers can now deliver a seamless user experience by allowing token approvals through off-chain signatures, while users enjoy gasless transactions and reduced friction. With the combination of allowance-based and signature-based transfers, Permit2 offers a flexible, scalable solution for modern dApps. +This is the future of token approval more efficient, more secure, and more user-friendly. + +You can also reference kaia docs for more info: https://docs.kaia.io/build/tools/oracles/ + + + +
