Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

NPM Package GitHub Issues Actions Status Code Coverage Discord

| Implements schema and functions related to Ethereum's transaction. | | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |

Note: this README reflects the state of the library from v3.0.0 onwards. See README from the standalone repository for an introduction on the last preceding release.

Installation

To obtain the latest version, simply require the project using npm:

npm install @ethereumjs/tx

Usage

Static Constructor Methods

To instantiate a tx it is not recommended to use the constructor directly. Instead each tx type comes with the following set of static constructor methods which helps on instantiation depending on the input data format:

  • public static fromTxData(txData: TxData, opts: TxOptions = {}): instantiate from a data dictionary
  • public static fromSerializedTx(serialized: Buffer, opts: TxOptions = {}): instantiate from a serialized tx
  • public static fromValuesArray(values: Buffer[], opts: TxOptions = {}): instantiate from a values array

See one of the code examples on the tx types below on how to use.

All types of transaction objects are frozen with Object.freeze() which gives you enhanced security and consistency properties when working with the instantiated object. This behavior can be modified using the freeze option in the constructor if needed.

Chain and Hardfork Support

The Transaction constructor receives a parameter of an @ethereumjs/common object that lets you specify the chain and hardfork to be used. If there is no Common provided the chain ID provided as a paramter on typed tx or the chain ID derived from the v value on signed EIP-155 conforming legacy txs will be taken (introduced in v3.2.1). In other cases the chain defaults to mainnet.

Base default HF (determined by Common): merge

Starting with v3.2.1 the tx library now deviates from the default HF for typed tx using the following rule: "The default HF is the default HF from Common if the tx type is active on that HF. Otherwise it is set to the first greater HF where the tx is active."

Supported Hardforks:

| Hardfork | Introduced | Description | | ---------------- | ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | london | v3.2.0 | EIP-1559 Transactions | | berlin | v3.1.0 |  EIP-2718 Typed Transactions, Optional Access Lists Tx Type EIP-2930 | | muirGlacier |  v2.1.2 |  - | | istanbul |  v2.1.1  | Support for reduced non-zero call data gas prices (EIP-2028) | | spuriousDragon |  v2.0.0 |  EIP-155 replay protection (disable by setting HF pre-spuriousDragon) |

Standalone EIPs

The following "standalone" EIPs are supported by the library can be manually activated using a respectively initialized Common instance, e.g.:

const common = new Common({ chain: Chain.Mainnet, hardfork: Hardfork.London, eips: [3860] })
  • EIP-3860: Limit and meter initcode (experimental)

Transaction Types

This library supports the following transaction types (EIP-2718):

  • FeeMarketEIP1559Transaction (EIP-1559, gas fee market)
  • AccessListEIP2930Transaction (EIP-2930, optional access lists)
  • Transaction, the Ethereum standard tx up to berlin, now referred to as legacy txs with the introduction of tx types

Gas Fee Market Transactions (EIP-1559)

  • Class: FeeMarketEIP1559Transaction
  • Activation: london
  • Type: 2

This is the recommended tx type starting with the activation of the london HF, see the following code snipped for an example on how to instantiate:

import { Chain, Common, Hardfork } from '@ethereumjs/common'
import { FeeMarketEIP1559Transaction } from '@ethereumjs/tx'

const common = new Common({ chain: Chain.Mainnet, hardfork: Hardfork.London })

const txData = {
  data: '0x1a8451e600000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000',
  gasLimit: '0x02625a00',
  maxPriorityFeePerGas: '0x01',
  maxFeePerGas: '0xff',
  nonce: '0x00',
  to: '0xcccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc',
  value: '0x0186a0',
  v: '0x01',
  r: '0xafb6e247b1c490e284053c87ab5f6b59e219d51f743f7a4d83e400782bc7e4b9',
  s: '0x479a268e0e0acd4de3f1e28e4fac2a6b32a4195e8dfa9d19147abe8807aa6f64',
  chainId: '0x01',
  accessList: [],
  type: '0x02',
}

const tx = FeeMarketEIP1559Transaction.fromTxData(txData, { common })

Access List Transactions (EIP-2930)

  • Class: AccessListEIP2930Transaction
  • Activation: berlin
  • Type: 1

This transaction type has been introduced along the berlin HF. See the following code snipped for an example on how to instantiate:

import { Chain, Common, Hardfork } from '@ethereumjs/common'
import { AccessListEIP2930Transaction } from '@ethereumjs/tx'

const common = new Common({ chain: Chain.Mainnet, hardfork: Hardfork.Berlin })

const txData = {
  data: '0x1a8451e600000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000',
  gasLimit: '0x02625a00',
  gasPrice: '0x01',
  nonce: '0x00',
  to: '0xcccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc',
  value: '0x0186a0',
  v: '0x01',
  r: '0xafb6e247b1c490e284053c87ab5f6b59e219d51f743f7a4d83e400782bc7e4b9',
  s: '0x479a268e0e0acd4de3f1e28e4fac2a6b32a4195e8dfa9d19147abe8807aa6f64',
  chainId: '0x01',
  accessList: [
    {
      address: '0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000101',
      storageKeys: [
        '0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000',
        '0x00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000060a7',
      ],
    },
  ],
  type: '0x01',
}

const tx = AccessListEIP2930Transaction.fromTxData(txData, { common })

For generating access lists from tx data based on a certain network state there is a reportAccessList option on the Vm.runTx() method of the @ethereumjs/vm TypeScript VM implementation.

Legacy Transactions

  • Class: Transaction
  • Activation: chainstart (with modifications along the road, see HF section below)
  • Type: 0 (internal)

Legacy transaction are still valid transaction within Ethereum mainnet but will likely be deprecated at some point. See this example script or the following code example on how to use.

import { Chain, Common, Hardfork } from '@ethereumjs/common'
import { Transaction } from '@ethereumjs/tx'

const txParams = {
  nonce: '0x00',
  gasPrice: '0x09184e72a000',
  gasLimit: '0x2710',
  to: '0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000',
  value: '0x00',
  data: '0x7f7465737432000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000600057',
}

const common = new Common({ chain: Chain.Mainnet, hardfork: Hardfork.Istanbul })
const tx = Transaction.fromTxData(txParams, { common })

const privateKey = Buffer.from(
  'e331b6d69882b4cb4ea581d88e0b604039a3de5967688d3dcffdd2270c0fd109',
  'hex'
)

const signedTx = tx.sign(privateKey)

const serializedTx = signedTx.serialize()

Transaction Factory

If you only know on runtime which tx type will be used within your code or if you want to keep your code transparent to tx types, this library comes with a TransactionFactory for your convenience which can be used as follows:

import { Chain, Common, Hardfork } from '@ethereumjs/common'
import { TransactionFactory } from '@ethereumjs/tx'

const common = new Common({ chain: Chain.Mainnet, hardfork: Hardfork.Berlin })

const txData = {} // Use data from the different tx type examples
const tx = TransactionFactory.fromTxData(txData, { common })

if (tx.supports(Capability.EIP2930AccessLists)) {
  // Do something which only makes sense for txs with support for access lists
}

The correct tx type class for instantiation will then be chosen on runtime based on the data provided as an input.

TransactionFactory supports the following static constructor methods:

  • public static fromTxData(txData: TxData | AccessListEIP2930TxData, txOptions: TxOptions = {}): TypedTransaction
  • public static fromSerializedData(data: Buffer, txOptions: TxOptions = {}): TypedTransaction
  • public static fromBlockBodyData(data: Buffer | Buffer[], txOptions: TxOptions = {})

Sending a Transaction

L2 Support

This library has been tested to work with various L2 networks (v3.3.0+). All predefined supported custom chains introduced with Common v2.4.0 or higher are supported, the following is a simple example to send a tx to the xDai chain:

import { Transaction } from '@ethereumjs/tx'
import { Common } from '@ethereumjs/common'

const from = 'PUBLIC_KEY'
const PRIV_KEY = process.argv[2]
const to = 'DESTINATION_ETHEREUM_ADDRESS'

const common = Common.custom(CustomChain.xDaiChain)

const txData = {
  from,
  nonce: 0,
  gasPrice: 1000000000,
  gasLimit: 21000,
  to,
  value: 1,
}

const tx = Transaction.fromTxData(txData, { common })
const signedTx = tx.sign(Buffer.from(PRIV_KEY, 'hex'))

The following L2 networks have been tested to work with @ethereumjs/tx, see usage examples as well as some notes on pecularities in the issues linked below:

|  L2 Network |  Common name |  Issue | | ------------------------ | ------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Arbitrum Rinkeby Testnet |  CustomChain.ArbitrumRinkebyTestnet |  #1290 | | Polygon Mainnet |  CustomChain.PolygonMainnet |  #1289 | | Polygon Mumbai Testnet |  CustomChain.PolygonMumbai |  #1289 | | xDai Chain |  Common.xDaiChain |  #1323 | | Optimistic Kovan | Common.OptimisticKovan | #1554 | | Optimistic Ethereum | Common.OptimisticEthereum | #1554 |

Note: For Optimistic Kovan and Optimistic Ethereum, the London hardfork has not been implemented so transactions submitted with a baseFee will revert. The London hardfork is targeted to implement on Optimism in Q1.22.

For a non-predefined custom chain it is also possible to just provide a chain ID as well as other parameters to Common:

const common = Common.custom({ chainId: 1234 })

Special Topics

Signing with a hardware or external wallet

To sign a tx with a hardware or external wallet use tx.getMessageToSign(false) to return an EIP-155 compliant unsigned tx.

A legacy transaction will return a Buffer list of the values, and a Typed Transaction (EIP-2718) will return the serialized output.

Here is an example of signing txs with @ledgerhq/hw-app-eth as of v6.5.0:

import { Transaction, FeeMarketEIP1559Transaction } from '@ethereumjs/tx'
import { Chain, Common } from '@ethereumjs/common'
import { bufArrToArr } from '@ethereumjs/util'
import { RLP } from '@ethereumjs/rlp'
import Eth from '@ledgerhq/hw-app-eth'

const eth = new Eth(transport)
const common = new Common({ chain: Chain.Rinkeby })

let txData: any = { value: 1 }
let tx: Transaction | FeeMarketEIP1559Transaction
let unsignedTx: Buffer[] | Buffer
let signedTx: typeof tx
const bip32Path = "44'/60'/0'/0/0"

const run = async () => {
  // Signing a legacy tx
  tx = Transaction.fromTxData(txData, { common })
  unsignedTx = tx.getMessageToSign(false)
  unsignedTx = Buffer.from(RLP.encode(bufArrToArr(unsignedTx))) // ledger signTransaction API expects it to be serialized
  let { v, r, s } = await eth.signTransaction(bip32Path, unsignedTx)
  txData = { ...txData, v, r, s }
  signedTx = Transaction.fromTxData(txData, { common })
  let from = signedTx.getSenderAddress().toString()
  console.log(`signedTx: 0x${signedTx.serialize().toString('hex')}\nfrom: ${from}`)

  // Signing a 1559 tx
  txData = { value: 1 }
  tx = FeeMarketEIP1559Transaction.fromTxData(txData, { common })
  unsignedTx = tx.getMessageToSign(false)
  ;({ v, r, s } = await eth.signTransaction(bip32Path, unsignedTx)) // this syntax is: object destructuring - assignment without declaration
  txData = { ...txData, v, r, s }
  signedTx = FeeMarketEIP1559Transaction.fromTxData(txData, { common })
  from = signedTx.getSenderAddress().toString()
  console.log(`signedTx: ${signedTx.serialize().toString('hex')}\nfrom: ${from}`)
}

run()

Fake Transaction

Creating a fake transaction for use in e.g. VM.runTx() is simple, just overwrite getSenderAddress() with a custom Address like so:

import { Address } from '@ethereumjs/util'
import { Transaction } from '@ethereumjs/tx'

_getFakeTransaction(txParams: TxParams): Transaction {
  const from = Address.fromString(txParams.from)
  delete txParams.from

  const opts = { common: this._common, freeze: false }
  const tx = Transaction.fromTxData(txParams, opts)

  // override getSenderAddress
  tx.getSenderAddress = () => { return from }

  return tx
}

BigInt Support

Starting with v4 the usage of BN.js for big numbers has been removed from the library and replaced with the usage of the native JS BigInt data type (introduced in ES2020).

Please note that number-related API signatures have changed along with this version update and the minimal build target has been updated to ES2020.
