CrossSpaceCall Contract

Conflux eSpace and Core space are two separate space, you can not send CFX from base32 address to hex address directly. You can only use Confluxhub Space Bridge to cross CFX between eSpace and Core Space.

Under the hood there is a internal contract named CrossSpaceCall in Core Space, which is used to transfer CFX between eSpace and Core Space. With CrossSpaceCall, it becomes feasible to directly engage with eSpace contracts from within Core Space. This contract is introduced by CIP-90.

CrossSpaceCall Interface​

This contract is available on Core Space under the address:

Below is the interface of this contract:

interface CrossSpaceCall {
    /**
     * @dev Deploy a contract in eSpace
     * @param init bytes -  The contract init bytecode
     * @return bytes20 - The hex address of the deployed contract
     */
    function createEVM(bytes calldata init) external payable returns (bytes20);
    /* methods for cross-space CFX transfers */

    /**
     * @dev Transfer CFX from Core space to eSpace specify address. Transfer amount is specified by transaction value.
     * @param to bytes20 - The hex address of the receiver address in eSpace
     * @return output bytes
     */
    function transferEVM(bytes20 to) external payable returns (bytes memory output);
    
    /**
     * @dev Widthdraw CFX from eSpace mapped account's balance
     * @param value uint256 - The amount of CFX to be withdrawn
     */ 
    function withdrawFromMapped(uint256 value) external;

    /**
     * @dev Query eSpace mapped account's CFX balance
     * @param addr address - The core address to query
     * @return uint256 - Balance
     */
    function mappedBalance(address addr) external view returns (uint256);


    /**
     * @dev Query eSpace mapped account's nonce
     * @param addr address - The core address to query
     * @return uint256 - Balance
     * */ 
    function mappedNonce(address addr) external view returns (uint256);
    
    /* methods for other cross-space operations */

    /**
     * @dev Call eSpace contract method from Core space
     * @param to bytes20 - The hex address of the contract in eSpace
     * @param data bytes - The contract method call data
     * @return output bytes - Method call result
     */ 
    function callEVM(bytes20 to, bytes calldata data) external payable returns (bytes memory output);

    /**
     * @dev Static call eSpace contract method from Core space
     * @param to bytes20 - The hex address of the contract in eSpace
     * @param data bytes - The contract method call data
     * @return output bytes - Method call result
     */ 
    function staticCallEVM(bytes20 to, bytes calldata data) external view returns (bytes memory output);
}

Transfer CFX between eSpace and Core Space​

Cross CFX between eSpace and Core Space can be achieved through call CrossSpaceCall internal contract's related methods.

Note that CrossSpaceCall (like other internal contracts) can only be accessed in the Conflux Core space.

From Core Space to eSpace​

Core to eSpace: To transfer CFX from Conflux Core to Conflux eSpace, the transferEVM(bytes20 to) method of this contract needs to be called. The destination address of this transfer is specified by the method parameter to. The cross-space transfer will be executed in a single atomic step.

function transferEVM(bytes20 to) external payable returns (bytes memory output);

JS Example​

const { Conflux, Drip } = require('js-conflux-sdk');

const conflux = new Conflux({
  url: 'https://main.confluxrpc.com',
  networkId: 1029,
});

const account = conflux.wallet.addPrivateKey(process.env.PRIVATE_KEY);

const crossSpaceCall = conflux.InternalContract('CrossSpaceCall');

async function main() {
    const eSpaceAddress = '0x3D69D968e3673e188B2D2d42b6a385686186258f';

    const receipt = await crossSpaceCall.transferEVM(eSpaceAddress)
        .sendTransaction({
            from: account,
            value: Drip.fromCFX(1),  // transfer 1 CFX, the amount is specify by value
        }).executed();

    console.log(`Transfer to ${eSpaceAddress} ${receipt.outcomeStatus === 0 ? 'succeed' : 'failed'}`);
}

main()

From eSpace to Core Space​

Mapped Addresses in Cross-Space Operations​

To cross CFX from eSpace to Core Space, a mapped address is required. Each account in Core Space has a mapped account (hex40) in eSpace. Only the Core space account can withdraw CFX from it's mapped account.

For details about the mapped address, see Mapped Addresses.

Transfer Steps​

To transfer CFX from Conflux eSpace to Conflux Core, two steps are required.

  1. Transfer CFX to the eSpace mapped account that belongs to the Core destination account. This action requires an eSpace transaction.
  2. Call the withdrawFromMapped(uint256 value) method of the CrossSpaceCall internal contract. This call with transfer the CFX from the mapped account back to the corresponding destination address. Another method mappedBalance can be used to query the balance of one core address's mapped address.
function withdrawFromMapped(uint256 value) external;

// parameter addr is a core account address
function mappedBalance(address addr) external view returns (uint256);

JS Example​

Step1: use js-conflux-sdk's address utility method to get the mapped address of the Core Space destination account.

const { address } = require('js-conflux-sdk');

const base32Address = 'cfx:aak2rra2njvd77ezwjvx04kkds9fzagfe6ku8scz91';

const mappedAddress = address.cfxMappedEVMSpaceAddress(base32Address);

// 0x12Bf6283CcF8Ad6ffA63f7Da63EDc217228d839A

Step2: transfer CFX to the mapped address in eSpace through wallet or ethers.js

Step3: invoke the withdrawFromMapped method of CrossSpaceCall internal contract in Core Space to withdraw CFX from the mapped address.

const { Conflux, Drip, address } = require('js-conflux-sdk');

const conflux = new Conflux({
  url: 'https://main.confluxrpc.com',
  chainId: 1029,
});

const account = conflux.wallet.addPrivateKey(process.env.PRIVATE_KEY);

const crossSpaceCall = conflux.InternalContract('CrossSpaceCall');

async function main() {
    const receipt = await crossSpaceCall.withdrawFromMapped(Drip.fromCFX(1))
        .sendTransaction({
            from: account,
        }).executed();

    console.log(`Withdraw from eSpace ${receipt.outcomeStatus === 0 ? 'succeed' : 'failed'}`);
}

main()

Call eSpace Contract from Core Space​

Through CrossSpaceCall contract, it is possible the read or write eSpace contract's state from Core Space. We will give a simple example to show how to call eSpace contract from Core Space.

Below is a contract deployed in eSpace at address 0x8c2a2b6b4c3b6e7e7d3b5e8b4b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b:

contract SimpleStore {
    uint256 public value;

    function setValue(uint256 _value) public {
        value = _value;
    }
}

And below is a contract deployed in Core Space:


contract CrossCallExample {

    CrossSpace public crossSpaceCall = CrossSpace(0x0888000000000000000000000000000000000006);

    function readValue() public returns (uint256) {
        bytes20 to = bytes20(0x8c2a2b6b4c3b6e7e7d3b5e8b4b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b);
        bytes memory num = crossSpaceCall.staticCallEVM(to, abi.encodeWithSignature("value()"));
        return abi.decode(num, (uint256))
    }

    function setValue(uint256 _value) public {
        bytes20 to = bytes20(0x8c2a2b6b4c3b6e7e7d3b5e8b4b6b6b6b6b6b6b6b);
        bytes memory data = abi.encodeWithSignature("setValue(uint256)", 100);
        crossSpaceCall.callEVM(to, data);
    }
}
