Query fee token address​

GET /fee_token

Response:

  "symbol":"ETH",
  "address":"0x...",
}

Mint with a transaction​

By not setting the lite parameter or by setting it to false, new tokens will be minted in a separate transaction. You will receive the hash of this transaction, as well as the new balance after minting in the response.

The value of amount is in WEI and needs to be an integer (or a float whose fractional part is 0, e.g. 1000.0 or 1e21)

POST /mint
{
    "address": "0x6e3205f...",
    "amount": 500000
}

Response:

{
    "new_balance": 500000,
    "unit": "wei",
    "tx_hash": "0xa24f23..."
}

Mint lite​

By setting the lite parameter, new tokens will be minted without generating a transaction, thus executing faster.

POST /mint
{
    "address": "0x6e3205f...",
    "amount": 500000,
    "lite": true
}

Response:

{
    "new_balance": 500000,
    "unit": "wei",
    "tx_hash": null
}
