Distribution

Solidity Interface & ABI

Distribution.sol is an interface through which Solidity contracts can interact with Cosmos SDK distribution. This is convenient for developers as they don’t need to know the implementation details behind the x/distribution module in the Cosmos SDK. Instead, they can interact with distribution functions using the Ethereum interface they are familiar with.

Events

Each of the transactions emits its corresponding event. These are:

  • SetWithdrawerAddress

    /// @dev SetWithdrawerAddress defines an Event emitted when a new withdrawer address is being set
    /// @param caller the caller of the transaction
    /// @param withdrawerAddress the newly set withdrawer address
    event SetWithdrawerAddress(
    address indexed caller,
    string withdrawerAddress
    );
  • WithdrawDelegatorRewards

    /// @dev WithdrawDelegatorRewards defines an Event emitted when rewards from a delegation are withdrawn
    /// @param delegatorAddress the address of the delegator
    /// @param validatorAddress the address of the validator
    /// @param amount the amount being withdrawn from the delegation
    event WithdrawDelegatorRewards(
    address indexed delegatorAddress,
    string indexed validatorAddress,
    uint256 amount
    );
  • WithdrawValidatorCommission

    /// @dev WithdrawValidatorCommission defines an Event emitted when validator commissions are being withdrawn
    /// @param validatorAddress is the address of the validator
    /// @param commission is the total commission earned by the validator
    event WithdrawValidatorCommission(
    string indexed validatorAddress,
    uint256 commission
    );

Interact with the Solidity Interface

Below are some examples of how to interact with this Solidity interface from your smart contracts.

Make sure to import the precompiled interface, e.g.:

import "https://github.com/evmos/extensions/blob/main/precompiles/stateful/Distribution.sol";

Set withdraw address

The changeWithdrawAddress function allows a user to set a new withdraw address in the Cosmos x/distribution module. For this transaction to be successful, make sure the user had already approved the MSG_SET_WITHDRAWER_ADDRESS message.

function changeWithdrawAddress(
string memory _withdrawAddr
) public returns (bool) {
return
distribution.DISTRIBUTION_CONTRACT.setWithdrawAddress(
msg.sender,
_withdrawAddr
);
}

Withdraw staking rewards

The withdrawStakingRewards function allows a user to withdraw his/her rewards corresponding to a specified validator. For this transaction to be successful, make sure the user had already approved the MSG_WITHDRAW_DELEGATOR_REWARD message.

function withdrawStakingRewards(
string memory _valAddr
) public returns (types.Coin[] memory) {
return
distribution.DISTRIBUTION_CONTRACT.withdrawDelegatorRewards(
msg.sender,
_valAddr
);
}

Withdraw validator commission

If the user is running a validator, he/she could withdraw the corresponding commission using a smart contract. The user could use a function similar to withdrawCommission. For this transaction to be successful, make sure the user had already approved the MSG_WITHDRAW_VALIDATOR_COMMISSION message.

function withdrawCommission(
string memory _valAddr
) public returns (types.Coin[] memory) {
return
distribution.DISTRIBUTION_CONTRACT.withdrawValidatorCommission(
_valAddr
);
}

Queries

Similarly to transactions, smart contracts can use query methods. These are read-only methods. Examples of this are the getDelegationRewards and getValidatorCommision functions that return the information for the specified validator address.

getDelegationRewards(
string memory _valAddr
) public view returns (types.DecCoin[] memory) {
return
distribution.DISTRIBUTION_CONTRACT.delegationRewards(
msg.sender,
_valAddr
);
}

function getValidatorCommission(
string memory _valAddr
) public view returns (types.DecCoin[] memory) {
return distribution.DISTRIBUTION_CONTRACT.validatorCommission(_valAddr);
}
