bank module

Introduction

The bank module maintains the state of two primary objects:

  • Account balances by address;

  • Total supply of tokens of the chain

bank module tracks and provides query support for the total supply of all assets used in the application. It also supports token transfer functionalities. Specifically, the total supply is updated whenever a token is:

  • Minted, e.g. Token created by the mint module; or

  • Burned, e.g. Token distorted by the slashing module.

Transactions and Queries

Transactions

tx bank send [from_key_or_address] [to_address] [amount] [network_id] - Send Funds

You can transfer of tokens between to a designated address by the tx bank send command. For example, we can send 1 basetcro to Bob's address by

$ cronosd tx bank send mykey tcrc1xwxk09wds0u2k6l39sp0e8ajx3jkw6dm0z5c26 1basetcro --keyring-backend test --chain-id ethermint-2

## Transaction payload##
{"body":{"messages":[{"@type":"/cosmos.bank.v1beta1.MsgSend","from_address":<address a>,"to_address":<address b>,"amount":[{"denom":"basetcro","amount":"1"}]}],"memo":"","timeout_height":"0","extension_options":[],"non_critical_extension_options":[]},"auth_info":{"signer_infos":[],"fee":{"amount":[],"gas_limit":"200000","payer":"","granter":""}},"signatures":[]}

confirm transaction before signing and broadcasting [y/N]: y

Queries

    {
      "denom": "basetcro",
      "amount": "99999000000000000000000000"
    }
  ],
  "pagination": {
    "next_key": null,
    "total": "0"
  }
}

query bank total - Check the total supply of the token

You can also check the current total supply of the token by:

$ cronosd query bank total --output json | jq
{
  "supply": [
    {
      "denom": "basetcro",
      "amount": "100020217468056427441579571"
    }
  ],
  "pagination": {
    "next_key": null,
    "total": "1"
