Build & Sign Transaction using PyCardano
This module uses PyCardano to build, sign, and submit a transaction:
import pycardano as pyc
network = pyc.Network.TESTNET
# Read keys to memory
psk = pyc.PaymentExtendedSigningKey.load("./tests/test_wallet/test_addr0.skey")
ssk = pyc.StakeExtendedSigningKey.load("./tests/test_wallet/test_stake.skey")
pvk = pyc.PaymentVerificationKey.from_signing_key(psk)
svk = pyc.StakeVerificationKey.from_signing_key(ssk)
# Derive an address from payment verification key and stake verification key
address = pyc.Address(pvk.hash(), svk.hash(), network)
# Create an Ogmios chain context. In this example, we will use preprod network.
context = pyc.OgmiosV6ChainContext("localhost", 1337)
# Create a transaction builder
builder = pyc.TransactionBuilder(context)
# Tell the builder that transaction input will come from a specific address, assuming that there are some ADA and native
# assets sitting at this address. "add_input_address" could be called multiple times with different address.
builder.add_input_address(address)
# Get all UTxOs currently sitting at this address
utxos = context.utxos(address)
# We can also tell the builder to include a specific UTxO in the transaction.
# Similarly, "add_input" could be called multiple times.
builder.add_input(utxos[0])
builder.add_output(
pyc.TransactionOutput(
pyc.Address.from_primitive(
"addr_test1vrm9x2zsux7va6w892g38tvchnzahvcd9tykqf3ygnmwtaqyfg52x"
),
pyc.Value.from_primitive(
[
1500000,
]
),
)
)
# We can add multiple outputs, similar to what we can do with inputs.
# Send 2 ADA and a native asset (CHOC) in quantity of 200 to ourselves
builder.add_output(
pyc.TransactionOutput(
address,
pyc.Value.from_primitive(
[
2000000,
{
bytes.fromhex(
"57fca08abbaddee36da742a839f7d83a7e1d2419f1507fcbf3916522" # Policy ID
): {
b"CHOC": 200 # Asset name and amount
}
},
]
),
)
)
# Create final signed transaction
signed_tx = builder.build_and_sign([psk], change_address=address)
print(signed_tx)
# Submit signed transaction to the network
context.submit_tx(signed_tx)
