Introduction

Here you can find useful guides on how to use the core features of the trustlines-clientlib.

Number format

The trustlines-clientlib returns numbers in the following format

type Amount = {

raw: string // = value * decimals^10

value: string // = raw / decimals^10

decimals: number

}

The representation raw is the number in its smallest unit, whereas value is the representation in its biggest unit.

Fees

There are currently three different types of fees returned by the trustlines-clientlib, when preparing transactions.

Transaction fees - ethFees

This kind of fees only occur, when the walletType in the initial configuration is set to ethers. They are denominated in the native cryptocurrency or coins, e.g. TLC, Test TLC, ETH, etc.

Delegation fees - delegationFees

If the walletType is set to identity, the library uses meta-transactions that are relayed, i.e delegated, by the relay server. The relay server operator pays for the occurring transaction fees and might want to be compensated for this service. These fees are denominated in a Trustlines Currency.

Network fees - maxFees

When transfers are mediated through other users within the network, network fees might occur, which are also denominated in a Trustlines Currency.
