Bitcoin

Reference

Bitcoin (TypeDoc)​

The Bitcoin class is initialized with a Ren network ("mainnet", "testnet" or "devnet"), or a BitcoinNetworkConfig for configuring local networks.

The available input payloads are:

Gateway Address
bitcoin.GatewayAddress should be used when you want the user to be able to deposit BTC and initiate new gateway transactions.

It accepts no parameters.

renJS.gateway({
    asset: "BTC",
    from: bitcoin.GatewayAddress(),
    ...
})
Transaction
bitcoin.Transaction allows you to specify a specific Bitcoin transaction, instead of watching for deposits to the gateway address. Note that the recipient address of the transaction should still match the gateway address generated from the to-chain's parameters.

The transaction should be of type Partial<ChainTransaction>, with at least one of the txid or txidFormatted is defined.

renJS.gateway({
    asset: "BTC",
    from: bitcoin.Transaction({
      // The transaction's hash in the usual Bitcoin hex encoding.
      txidFormatted: "a1075db55d416d3ca199f55b6084e2115b9345e16c5cf302fc80e9d5fbf5d48d",
      // The transaction's hash in URL-base64 encoding.
      txid: "oQddtV1BbTyhmfVbYITiEVuTReFsXPMC_IDp1fv11I0",
      // The vOut/txindex of the specific transaction ouput.
      txindex: "0"
    }),
    ...
})

The available output payloads are:

Address
bitcoin.Address allows you to specify the Bitcoin address for receiving the released BTC.

renJS.gateway({
    asset: "BTC",
    from: bitcoin.Address("miMi2VET41YV1j6SDNTeZoPBbmH8B4nEx6"),
    ...
})
