Crypto Objects

class Crypto(Generic[EntityClass],  ABC)

Base class for a crypto object.

__init__

 | __init__(private_key_path: Optional[str] = None, **kwargs)

Initialize the crypto object.

The actual behaivour of this constructor is determined by the abstract methods 'generate_private_key()' and 'load_private_key_from_path(). Either way, the entity object will be accessible as a property.

Arguments:

  • private_key_path: the path to the private key. If None, the key will be generated by 'generate_private_key()'. If not None, the path will be processed by 'load_private_key_from_path()'.
  • kwargs: keyword arguments.

generate_private_key

the entity object. Implementation dependent.

load_private_key_from_path

the entity object.

address

 | @property
 | @abstractmethod

Return the address.

Returns:

an address string

sign_message

 | @abstractmethod
 | sign_message(message: bytes, is_deprecated_mode: bool = False) -> str

Sign a message in bytes string form.

Arguments:

  • message: the message to be signed
  • is_deprecated_mode: if the deprecated signing is used

Returns:

signature of the message in string form

sign_transaction

 | @abstractmethod
 | sign_transaction(transaction: Any) -> Any

Sign a transaction in bytes string form.

Arguments:

Returns:

signed transaction

dump

 | @abstractmethod

Arguments:

  • fp: the output file pointer. Must be set in binary mode (mode='wb')

Returns:

None

Helper Objects

class Helper(ABC)

is_transaction_valid

 | @staticmethod
 | @abstractmethod
 | is_transaction_valid(tx: Any, seller: Address, client: Address, tx_nonce: str, amount: int) -> bool

generate_tx_nonce

 | @staticmethod
 | @abstractmethod
 | generate_tx_nonce(seller: Address, client: Address) -> str

get_address_from_public_key

 | @classmethod
 | @abstractmethod
 | get_address_from_public_key(cls, public_key: str) -> str

Get the address from the public key.

Returns:

the recovered addresses

get_hash

 | @staticmethod
 | @abstractmethod
 | get_hash(message: bytes) -> str

Arguments:

  • address: the address to validate

LedgerApi Objects

class LedgerApi(Helper,  ABC)

Interface for ledger APIs.

api

 | @property
 | @abstractmethod
 | api() -> Any

This can be used for low-level operations with the concrete ledger APIs. If there is no such object, return None.

get_balance

 | @abstractmethod
 | get_balance(address: Address) -> Optional[int]

Get the balance of a given account.

This usually takes the form of a web request to be waited synchronously.
