meterify.eth

This module allows you to interact with a Meter blockchain and any deployed smart contracts on it.

Although the meterify.eth module inherits from web.eth, there are some feature differences between the two. The following is a list of extended features in meterify.eth

Extended Properties

  • currentProvider

  • givenProvider

Extended Methods

  • getBlockRef

  • getBlockUncleCount

  • getChainTag

  • getEnergy

Note on checksum addresses

All addresses returned by functions of this package are returned as checksum addresses. This means some letters are uppercase and some are lowercase. Based on that it will calculate a checksum for the address and prove its correctness. Incorrect checksum addresses will throw an error when passed into functions. If you want to circumvent the checksum check you can make an address all lower- or uppercase.

Checksum Example:

    meterify.eth.getAccounts(console.log);
    > ["0x11f4d0A3c12e86B4b5F39B213F7E19D048276DAe" ,"0x85F43D8a49eeB85d32Cf465507DD71d507100C1d"]
