Executing a serialized transaction

This example demonstrates executing a serialized transaction loaded directly from a file. A user can create a transaction and sign it (using goal) and send it to someone else to execute it. Instructions to create a serialized transaction using goal is provided below.

NOTE: This will probably not work because transaction contains fields like firstValid and lastValid which will be different for different network configurations.

Setup

Please follow the setup instructions to install dependencies and update the config.

Creating serialized transaction file

You can use goal to create a transaction and sign it.

Creating a transaction and writing to file out.txn

goal clerk send -a <amount> -f <from_account> -t <to_account> -o out.txn -d ~/<data_directory>

Sign transaction (signed by <from_account>)

goal clerk sign -i [input file] -o [output file] -d ~/<data_directory>

You need to save the signed transaction file in examples/multisig/assets directory. The standard transaction file extension is .txn, but the code accepts any extension. The only constraint is that the file should have a valid signed encoded transaction object.

Run

yarn run algob run scripts/transfer.js
