Examples

Below are a few examples demonstrating how to interact with the contracts using TypeScript and the ethers library.

Prerequisites

  1. 1.
    Ensure you have Node.js and npm installed.
  2. 2.
    Familiarity with TypeScript and blockchain concepts.

Step 1: Setting up the Environment

First, install the ethers in your Typescript project library using npm:
npm install ethers

Step 2: Initializing the Contracts

Before any interaction, initialize the contracts:
import { ethers } from 'ethers';
// Depending on your network (mainnet or testnet), use the respective address:
const systemContractMainnet = new ethers.Contract(
"0x68Db92A6a78A39DcAFf1745Da9E89E230eF49D3D",
systemStakingContractABI,
provider
);
// If using testnet:
const systemContractTestnet = new ethers.Contract(
"0x52ab0fe2c3a94644de0888a3ba9ea1443672e61f",
systemStakingContractABI,
provider
);
// Initialize the Staking Read Contract (common for both networks):
const stakingReadContract = new ethers.Contract(
"0x04c22afae6a03438b8fed74cb1cf441168df3f12",
stakingReadContractABI,
provider
);

Step 3: Querying Available Bucket Types

Check the activated bucket types:
async function getBucketTypes() {
const types = await stakingReadContract.contractStakeBucketTypes("0x52ab0fe2c3a94644de0888a3ba9ea1443672e61f");
console.log("Available bucket types:", types);
}

Step 4: Creating an NFT Bucket

To create a stake bucket of 10,000 IOTX for a 30-day duration:
async function createBucket() {
const tx = await systemContract.stake(
518400, // 30day equivalent in IoTeX blocks
"io1tfke5nfwryte6nultpmqefadgm0dsahm2gm63k", // delegate profile address
{value: 10000} // stake deposit amount in IOTX
);
await tx.wait();
console.log("Bucket created successfully!");
}

Step 5: Expanding a Bucket

Increase the stake amount a snd duration of an existing bucket:
async function expandBucket() {
const tx = await systemContract.expandBucket(
1, // Bucket token id
20000, // new amount (final)
1036800, // new duration (60 days)
{value: 10000} // new amount supplied
);
await tx.wait();
console.log("Bucket expanded successfully!");
}

Step 6: Transferring a Bucket

Transferring a bucket is akin to transferring an ERC-721 token:
async function transferBucket() {
const tx = await systemContract.transferFrom(
"io1tfke5nfwryte6nultpmqefadgm0dsahm2gm63k", // from address
"io12mgttmfa2ffn9uqvn0yn37f4nz43d248l2ga85", // to address
1 // bucket token id
);
await tx.wait();
console.log("Bucket transferred successfully!");
}

Step 7: Unlocking, Unstaking, and Withdrawing

After creating a bucket, you might need to unlock, unstake, or even withdraw:
async function unlockBucket() {
const tx = await systemContract.unlock(1); // pass the token id
await tx.wait();
console.log("Bucket unlocked successfully!");
}
async function unstakeBucket() {
const tx = await systemContract.unstake(1); // pass the token id
await tx.wait();
console.log("Bucket unstaked successfully!");
}
async function withdraw() {
const tx = await systemContract.withdraw(
1, // Token id
"io1tfke5nfwryte6nultpmqefadgm0dsahm2gm63k" // Recipient address
);
await tx.wait();
console.log("Withdrawal successful!");
}

Conclusion

These are the foundational steps for interacting with IIP-13 contracts, that allows the creation of Liquid Staking solutions. Liquid staking allows users to access the benefits of staking in a blockchain network while still maintaining liquidity and flexibility over their staked assets, which create a more attractive and versatile staking experience.
For more advanced operations and deeper insights, refer to the IIP-13 official documentation and the contract's source code.
