Native Cosmos SDK Messages

Stemming from its Cosmos SDK foundation, BandChain supports all types of messages that are native to the SDK.

BandChain Specific Messages

Apart from the messages that stems from the Cosmos SDK, BandChain also supports a number of messages native to its data oracle system. These messages' specification is presented below.

MsgCreateDataSource

Deploys and registers a new data source (TODO: LINK TO DATA SOURCE TERMINOLOGY) to BandChain. Once registered, the data source is assigned a unique int64 identifier which can be used to refer to it forever.

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
Sender sdk.AccAddress The address of the message's sender. Note that the sender does not need to be the same as the owner
Owner sdk.AccAddress The address of the entity who will be responsible for maintaining the data source
Name string The human-readable string name for this data source
Description string The description of this data source
Executable []byte The content of executable to be run by block upon receiving a data request for this data source. The executable can be in any format, as long as it is accepted by the general public.

MsgEditDataSource

Edits an existing data source given the unique int64 identifier (i.e. dataSourceID). The sender must be the owner of the data source for the transaction to succeed.

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
DataSourceID int64 The unique identifier number assigned to the data source when it was first registered
Sender sdk.AccAddress The address of the message's sender. Note that the sender does not need to be the same as the owner
Owner sdk.AccAddress The address of the entity who will be responsible for maintaining the data source
Name string The human-readable string name for this data source
Description string The description of this data source
Executable []byte The content of executable to be run by block validators upon receiving a data request for this data source. The executable can be in any format, as long as it is accepted by the general public.

MsgCreateOracleScript

Deploys a new oracle script (TODO: LINK TO ORACLE SCRIPT) to BandChain's network. Once registered, the script is assigned a unique int64 identifier which can be used to refer to it forever.

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
Sender sdk.AccAddress The address of the message's sender. Note that the sender does not need to be the same as the owner
Owner sdk.AccAddress The address of the entity who will be responsible for maintaining the data source
Name string The human-readable string name for this data source
Description string The description of this data source
Code []byte The Owasm-compiled binary attached to this oracle script
Schema string The schema detailing the inputs and outputs of this oracle script, as well as the corresponding types
Source Code URL string The URL for the source code of this oracle script

MsgEditOracleScript

Edits an existing oracle script given the unique int64 identifier (i.e. oracleScriptID). The sender must be the owner of the oracle script for the transaction to succeed.

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
OracleScriptID int64 The unique identifier number assigned to the oracle script when it was first registered on Bandchain
Sender sdk.AccAddress The address of the message's sender. Note that the sender does not need to be the same as the owner
Owner sdk.AccAddress The address of the entity who will be responsible for maintaining the data source
Name string The human-readable string name for this data source
Description string The description of this data source
Code []byte The Owasm-compiled binary attached to this oracle script
Schema string The schema detailing the inputs and outputs of this oracle script, as well as the corresponding types
Source Code URL string The URL for the source code of this oracle script

MsgRequestData

Requests a new data based on an existing oracle script. A data request will be assigned a unique identifier once the transaction is confirmed. After sufficient validators report the raw data points. The results of the data requests will be written and stored permanently on BandChain for future uses.

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
OracleScriptID int64 The unique identifier number assigned to the oracle script when it was first registered on Bandchain
Sender sdk.AccAddress The address of the message's sender.
Calldata string The data passed over to the oracle script for the script to use during its execution
AskCount int64 The number of validators that are requested to respond to this request
MinCount int64 The minimum number of validators necessary for the request to proceed to the execution phase
ClientID string The unique identifier of this oracle request, as specified by the client. This same unique ID will be sent back to the requester with the oracle response.

MsgReportData

Reports raw data points for the given data request. Each data point corresponds to a data source query issued during the data request script's execution of prepare function.

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
RequestID int64 The unique identifier number of the particular request
Validator sdk.ValAddress The reporting validator's actual validator address
Reporter sdk.AccAddress The address the reporting validator uses to sign when submitting the report
Data Data: []struct{ externalDataId: int64, data: []byte } The array of raw data points. Each item corresponds to a data source query.

MsgAddReporter

Registers an address to the list of addresses available to a validator when signing and submitting a report.

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
ValidatorAddress sdk.ValAddress The address of the validator wishing to add the reporter address to their list
ReporterAddress sdk.AccAddress The address to add to the validator's available addresses

MsgRemoveReporter

Remove a previously registered address from the list of addresses available to a validator when signing and submitting a report.

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
ValidatorAddress sdk.ValAddress The address of the validator wishing to add the reporter address to their list
ReporterAddress sdk.AccAddress The address to remove from the validator's available addresses
