CCToken Merchant Tool

This command line tool for merchants of the CCToken. It is a simple command line tool that allows merchants to send request_mint/request_burn/transfer transaction on CKB.

Building

Because this tool reads your private key to sign the transaction, it is recommended to build the tool from the source code. Since it is built on Node.js, it is relatively easy to do so on Mac OS or Linux. Please note that Windows compatibility has not been tested yet.

After building it will create 3 binariesin the build/ directory for each platform. This allows one developer to build and distribute the binary to others.

Prerequisites

• Nodejs(>=18) installed, and the npm command can work properly.
• Good network connection to npm registry.

Building

npm install
npm run build

You may see a lot of warning after building, but it is safe to ignore them. They are cause by the axios in node_modules/, but the binary is built from single file in dist/ which is bundled by webpack.

Usage

After building the tool, one can use the binary in build/ directory. The tool requires the following parameters:

Usage: index [options] [command]

Options:
  -f, --fee <fee>                   The total fee of the CKB transaction (default: "10000")
  -p, --private-key <privateKey>    Merchant private key. Please use environment variable
                                    MERCHANT_PRIVATE_KEY instead in production environment.
  -a, --merchant-address <address>  Merchant address
  -u, --rpc-url <url>               The base url of CKB RPC.
  -V, --verbose                     Show verbose debug messages. (default: false)
  -h, --help                        display help for command

Commands:
  mint [options]
  burn [options]
  transfer [options]
  help [command]                    display help for command

There are three subcommands: mint, burn, and transfer. All of them have common parameters:

• --fee is the total fee of the CKB transaction.
• --private-key is the private key of the merchant.
• --merchant-address is the address of the merchant.
• --rpc-url is the base url of CKB RPC.

Some of the common parameters can also be passed as environment variables:

• MERCHANT_PRIVATE_KEY: Merchant private key.
• CKB_RPC_URL: The CKB RPC url.

Please note that the --value parameter always requires a u128 type value. For example, if you wish to mint 0.1 ccBTC with 8 decimal places, you should input 10000000 (10,000,000) as the value. The --value cannot be negative or exceed the maximum u128 value.

Each subcommand has its own parameters. Please refer to the following sections for instructions on how to use them.

Minting

To mint 0.1 BTC token, and the private key is passed as environment variable, one can use the following command:

{your_binary_path} --rpc-url http://localhost:8114 \
--merchant-address ckt1... \
mint \
--coin-type BTC \
--tx-hash 0x... \
--value 10000000

Transfer

To transfer 0.1 BTC token, and the private key is passed as environment variable, one can use the following command:

{your_binary_path} --rpc-url http://localhost:8114 \

--value 10000000

To burn 0.1 BTC token, and the private key is passed as environment variable, one can use the following command:

--merchant-address ckt1... \
burn \
--to ckt1... \
--coin-type BTC \
--value 10000000

Please note that the --to parameter represents the multisig address of custodians, so the available value may vary depending on the CCToken's daily management. Therefore, it is essential to always verify if the address has been updated.

The current multisig address of custodians are:
