Internal Wallet

wallet (uint256) amount (in wei) in the internal wallet of the Operator.

Every ID has its own internal wallet within Portal. It accrues maintanence fees, makes things safer and easier for Node Operators when creating validators etc.

Note

Validator proposals requires 1 Ether, which will be spent from your internal wallet.

However, this amount is returned if the proposal is approved and the validator creation is finalized.

Portal.functions.increaseWalletBalance(id: uint256)

Increases internal wallet by accepting the deposited ETH amount.

Warning

You will need to provide a private key and setup your wallet with provided web3 instance to send any transactions:

:ref: Setting up your wallet with PRIVATE_KEY

# Example: sending 320 Ether for 10 Validator
amount = portal.w3.toWei(320, 'ether')

transaction_params = {
    'from': acct.address, # no need if defaultAccount is set
    'value': amount,
    'gas': 200000,  # Example: setting the gas limit
    'gasPrice': web3.toWei('50', 'gwei')  # Example: setting the gas price
}

# Returns the tx hash as HexBytes
tx_hash = portal.functions.increaseWalletBalance(myOperator.ID).transact(transaction_params)
# HexBytes('0xed0389fb5f45d676808d7a72ccb694d989f39495e2e6911c39ce4253cf976e34')

Portal.functions.decreaseWalletBalance(id: uint256, value: uint256)

Like, above function, operators can also decrease their wallet balance.

# Example: withdrawing 320 eth back
amount = portal.w3.toWei(320, 'ether')

transaction_params = {
    'from': acct.address, # no need if defaultAccount is set
    'value': 0,
    'gas': 200000,  # Example: setting the gas limit
    'gasPrice': web3.toWei('50', 'gwei')  # Example: setting the gas price
}

# Returns the tx hash as HexBytes
tx_hash = portal.functions.decreaseWalletBalance(myOperator.ID, amount).transact(transaction_params)
# HexBytes('0xed0389fb5f45d676808d7a72ccb694d989f39495e2e6911c39ce4253cf976e34')
