Exchange Chain (X-Chain) API

The X-Chain, Avalanche’s native platform for creating and trading assets, is an instance of the Avalanche Virtual Machine (AVM). This API allows clients to create and trade assets on the X-Chain and other instances of the AVM.

Format

This API uses the json 2.0 RPC format. For more information on making JSON RPC calls, see here.

Endpoints

/ext/bc/X to interact with the X-Chain.

/ext/bc/blockchainID to interact with other AVM instances, where blockchainID is the ID of a blockchain running the AVM.

Methods

avm.buildGenesis

Given a JSON representation of this Virtual Machine’s genesis state, create the byte representation of that state.

Endpoint

This call is made to the AVM’s static API endpoint:

/ext/vm/avm

Note: addresses should not include a chain prefix (ie. X-) in calls to the static API endpoint because these prefixes refer to a specific chain.

Signature

avm.buildGenesis({
    networkID: int,
    genesisData: JSON,
    encoding: string, //optional
}) -> {
    bytes: string,
    encoding: string,
}

Encoding specifies the encoding format to use for arbitrary bytes ie. the genesis bytes that are returned. Can be either "cb58" or "hex". Defaults to "cb58".

genesisData has this form:

{
"genesisData" :
    {
        "assetAlias1": {               // Each object defines an asset
            "name": "human readable name",

                    {                  // Can be "fixedCap", "variableCap", "limitedTransfer", "nonFungible"

    "id": 1
}

Where:

• credentials is a list of this transaction's credentials. Each credential proves that this transaction's creator is allowed to consume one of this transaction's inputs. Each credential is a list of signatures.
• unsignedTx is the non-signature portion of the transaction.
• networkID is the ID of the network this transaction happened on. (Avalanche Mainnet is 1.)
• blockchainID is the ID of the blockchain this transaction happened on. (Avalanche Mainnet X-Chain is 2oYMBNV4eNHyqk2fjjV5nVQLDbtmNJzq5s3qs3Lo6ftnC6FByM.)
• Each element of outputs is an output (UTXO) of this transaction that is not being exported to another chain.
• Each element of inputs is an input of this transaction which has not been imported from another chain.
• Import Transactions have additional fields sourceChain and importedInputs, which specify the blockchain ID that assets are being imported from, and the inputs that are being imported.
• Export Transactions have additional fields destinationChain and exportedOutputs, which specify the blockchain ID that assets are being exported to, and the UTXOs that are being exported.

An output contains:

• assetID: The ID of the asset being transferred. (The Mainnet Avax ID is FvwEAhmxKfeiG8SnEvq42hc6whRyY3EFYAvebMqDNDGCgxN5Z.)
• fxID: The ID of the FX this output uses.
• output: The FX-specific contents of this output.

Most outputs use the secp256k1 FX, look like this:

{
    "assetID": "FvwEAhmxKfeiG8SnEvq42hc6whRyY3EFYAvebMqDNDGCgxN5Z",
    "fxID": "spdxUxVJQbX85MGxMHbKw1sHxMnSqJ3QBzDyDYEP3h6TLuxqQ",
    "output": {
        "addresses": [

        "amount": 1530084210,
        "locktime": 0,
        "threshold": 1
    }
}

The above output can be consumed after Unix time locktime by a transaction that has signatures from threshold of the addresses in addresses.

avm.getTxStatus

Get the status of a transaction sent to the network.

Signature

avm.getTxStatus({txID: string}) -> {status: string}

status is one of:

• Accepted: The transaction is (or will be) accepted by every node
• Processing: The transaction is being voted on by this node
• Rejected: The transaction will never be accepted by any node in the network
• Unknown: The transaction hasn’t been seen by this node

avm.getUTXOs

Gets the UTXOs that reference a given address. If sourceChain is specified, then it will retrieve the atomic UTXOs exported from that chain to the X Chain.

Signature

avm.getUTXOs({
    addresses: []string,
    limit: int, //optional
    startIndex: { //optional
        address: string,
        utxo: string

    endIndex: {
        address: string,
        utxo: string
    },
    sourceChain: string, //optional
    encoding: string
}

• utxos is a list of UTXOs such that each UTXO references at least one address in addresses.
• At most limit UTXOs are returned. If limit is omitted or greater than 1024, it is set to 1024.
• This method supports pagination. endIndex denotes the last UTXO returned. To get the next set of UTXOs, use the value of endIndex as startIndex in the next call.
• If startIndex is omitted, will fetch all UTXOs up to limit.
• When using pagination (when startIndex is provided), UTXOs are not guaranteed to be unique across multiple calls. That is, a UTXO may appear in the result of the first call, and then again in the second call.
• When using pagination, consistency is not guaranteed across multiple calls. That is, the UTXO set of the addresses may have changed between calls.
• encoding sets the format for the returned UTXOs. Can be either "cb58" or "hex". Defaults to "cb58".

Example

Suppose we want all UTXOs that reference at least one of X-avax1yzt57wd8me6xmy3t42lz8m5lg6yruy79m6whsf and X-avax1x459sj0ssujguq723cljfty4jlae28evjzt7xz.

Since numFetched is less than limit, we know that we are done fetching UTXOs and don’t need to call this method again.

Suppose we want to fetch the UTXOs exported from the P Chain to the X Chain in order to build an ImportTx. Then we need to call GetUTXOs with the sourceChain argument in order to retrieve the atomic UTXOs:

avm.import

Finalize a transfer of an asset from the P-Chain or C-Chain to the X-Chain. Before this method is called, you must call the P-Chain’s platform.exportAVAX or C-Chain’s avax.export method to initiate the transfer.

    to: string,
    sourceChain: string,
    username: string,
    password: string,
}) -> {txID: string}

• to is the address the AVAX is sent to. This must be the same as the to argument in the corresponding call to the P-Chain’s exportAVAX or C-Chain's export.
• sourceChain is the ID or alias of the chain the AVAX is being imported from. To import funds from the C-Chain, use "C".
• username is the user that controls to.
• txID is the ID of the newly created atomic transaction.

• outputs is an array of object literals which each contain an assetID, amount and to.
• from are the addresses that you want to use for this operation. If omitted, uses any of your addresses as needed.
• changeAddr is the address any change will be sent to. If omitted, change is sent to one of the addresses controlled by the user.
• You can attach a memo, whose length can be up to 256 bytes.
• The asset is sent from addresses controlled by user username. (Of course, that user will need to hold at least the balance of the asset being sent.)

events

Listen for transactions on a specified address.

This call is made to the events API endpoint:

Operations

Command	Description	Example	Arguments
NewSet	create a new address map set	{"newSet":{}}
NewBloom	create a new bloom set.	{"newBloom":{"maxElements":"1000","collisionProb":"0.0100"}}	maxElements - number of elements in filter must be > 0 collisionProb - allowed collision probability must be > 0 and <= 1
AddAddresses	add an address to the set	{"addAddresses":{"addresses":["X-fuji..."]}}	addresses - list of addresses to match

Calling NewSet or NewBloom resets the filter, and must be followed with AddAddresses. AddAddresses can be called multiple times.

Set details

• NewSet performs absolute address matches, if the address is in the set you will be sent the transaction.
• NewBloom Bloom filtering can produce false positives, but can allow a greater number of addresses to be filtered. If the addresses is in the filter, you will be sent the transaction.
