LinkToken Exchange

How to get ServiceId and key;

The developer gets the email verification code interface through API call for test access. The test platform sends an email to the developer's email address according to the email address (required) and verification code (required) submitted by the developer interface, which includes servce_Id and secret.

Smart Contract

The call mode of the smart contract?

There are two smart contract call modes currently, namely Wake up LinkToken Pocket APP and LinkToken Pocket Code Scanning. The server call contract is the mode being developed for future compatibility.

ThunderChain is compatible with Ethereum. Can smart contract deployed in Ethereum be used to call LinkToken Pocket?

No. ThunderChain is compatible with smart contract developed in solidity language. Since the interface of Blockchain is independently developed, LinkToken Pocket cannot be used to call the interface of Ethereum.

The reason why 1 LinkToken is not returned for LinkToken Pocket call in test environment?

In test environment, after charging interface call succeeds, the test platform will transfer 1 LinkToken to address account submitted by the interface. LinkToken Pocket test version can receive the LinkToken.

How many LinkToken will be consumed for smart contract call? How should the value of gas_limit increase when calling the contract?

The LinkToken consumed for contract implementation is related to contract code. Refer to Developer’s Guide to Smart Contract Open Platform 7.2.3

Inquire estimated gas consumption (estimateGas). For details, refer to: https://open.onethingcloud.com/en/site/docopen.html#723inquireestimatedgasconsumptionestimategas

gas price is fixed, and we will get 0.01 LinkToken through multiplying it by fixed gas volume. So, can the developer configure gas price of smart contract?

Currently, gas_price is default system value and revision is unavailable. gas of normal exchange request in LinkToken Pocket is fixed. gas * gas_price is service fee of 0.01 LinkToken. gas of contract call transaction is determined by the called contract function computing volume, and entered by the caller.

How many smart contracts can one app be accessed?

According to business needs, the app can release multiple contracts. The platform sets no restriction on the number, but the open platform will review the authenticity of the smart contract release.
