VotingEscrow

Users create and control locks on the VotingEscrow contract. A user may only have one lock at any given time. Adding to a lock resets the 5-year lock period.

The code samples below demonstrate how to manage locks using ethers.js or foundry. You can also manage locks using a block explorer like oklink.com/canto.

Creating a Lock

To create a lock, call the createLock(uint256 _value) payable method. The call value and _value parameter must match.

ethers.js

amount = ethers.utils.parseEther("100") // 100 CANTO
await VotingEscrow.createLock(amount, { value: amount })

foundry

cast send --ledger 0x... "createLock(uint256)" 100 --value 100ether

Adding to a Lock

To add to your existing lock, call the increaseAmount(uint256 _value) payable method. The call value and _value parameter must match.

ethers.js

amount = ethers.utils.parseEther("100") // 100 CANTO
await VotingEscrow.increaseAmount(amount, { value: amount })

foundry

cast send --ledger 0x... "increaseAmount(uint256)" 100 --value 100ether

Reading Voting Power

To read voting power, call the balanceOf(address _owner) view.

ethers.js

const votingPower = await VotingEscrow.balanceOf("0x...")

foundry

cast call 0x... "balanceOf(address)" 0x...

Withdrawing

To withdraw a completed lock, call the withdraw() method.

ethers.js

await VotingEscrow.withdraw()

foundry

cast send --ledger 0x... "withdaw()"
