Assets

Calls

approveTransfer

Approve an amount of asset for transfer by a delegated third-party account.

Origin must be Signed.

Ensures that ApprovalDeposit worth of Currency is reserved from signing account for the purpose of holding the approval. If some non-zero amount of assets is already approved from signing account to delegate, then it is topped up or unreserved to meet the right value.

NOTE: The signing account does not need to own amount of assets at the point of making this call.

• id: The identifier of the asset.

• delegate: The account to delegate permission to transfer asset.

• amount: The amount of asset that may be transferred by delegate. If there is already an approval in place, then this acts additively.

Emits ApprovedTransfer on success.

• id: The identifier of the asset to have some amount burned.

• who: The account to be debited from.

• amount: The maximum amount by which who's balance should be reduced.

Emits Burned with the actual amount burned. If this takes the balance to below the minimum for the asset, then the amount burned is increased to take it to zero.

Weight: O(1) Modes: Post-existence of who; Pre & post Zombie-status of who.

Namespace

api.tx.assets.burn

Type

function burn(
  id: Compact<u32>,
  who: SeedPrimitivesSignatureAccountId20,
  amount: Compact<u128>
)

cancelApproval

create

• admin: The admin of this class of assets. The admin is the initial address of each member of the asset class's admin team.

• min_balance: The minimum balance of this new asset that any single account must have. If an account's balance is reduced below this, then it collapses to zero.

Emits Created event when successful.

  id: Compact<u32>,

• is_sufficient: Whether a non-zero balance of this asset is deposit of sufficient value to account for the state bloat associated with its balance storage. If set to true, then non-zero balances may be stored without a consumer reference (and thus an ED in the Balances pallet or whatever else is used to control user-account state growth).
