Golang SDK

suave-geth provides an SDK with a set of tools to interact with SUAVE, including deploying contracts, sending transactions, and waiting for transaction receipts.

Installation​

Make sure you have Go installed on your system and your workspace is set. Then import the SDK package into your Go project:

import "github.com/flashbots/suave-geth/suave/sdk"

Usage​

Creating a Client​

To start interacting with Ethereum smart contracts, instantiate a new client:

client := sdk.NewClient(rpcClient, privateKey, executionNodeAddress)
  • rpcClient: Your Ethereum RPC client.
  • privateKey: An ECDSA private key for signing transactions.
  • executionNodeAddress: The address of a SUAVE Kettle. Use 0x03493869959c866713c33669ca118e774a30a0e5 if working on Rigil.

One way to instantiate a golang RPC client using the go-ethereum rpc module "github.com/ethereum/go-ethereum/rpc" is:

exNodeNetAddr = "http://localhost:8545"
rpcClient, _ := rpc.Dial(exNodeNetAddr)

Deploying a Contract​

Deploy a smart contract to the network:

transactionResult, err := sdk.DeployContract(bytecode, client)
  • bytecode: The compiled bytecode of the smart contract.
  • client: An instance of your Client.

Sending a Transaction​

Interact with a contract by sending a transaction:

transactionResult, err := contract.SendTransaction(methodName, args, confidentialData)
  • methodName: The name of the contract method to call.
  • args: Arguments for the method call.
  • confidentialData: Confidential data bytes for the transaction.

Transaction Result​

After sending a transaction, you can query the result and receipt:

receipt, err := transactionResult.Wait()

Wait for the transaction to be mined and get the receipt.

hash := transactionResult.Hash()

Retrieve the hash of the transaction.

Client Methods​

The following are key methods available on the Client type:

  • RPC(): Retrieves the underlying RPC client.
  • SignTxn(*types.LegacyTx): Signs a transaction with the provided private key.
  • SendTransaction(*types.LegacyTx): Sends a signed transaction to the network.
