Transaction Memos
Understanding Transaction Memo In Detail
Transactions to THORChain pass user intent with the
MEMO
field on their respective chains. THORChain inspects the transaction object and the MEMO
in order to process the transaction, so care must be taken to ensure the MEMO
and the transaction are both valid. If not, THORChain will automatically refund the assets. All memos are listed here.THORChain uses specific Asset Notation for all assets. Assets and functions can be abbreviated and Affiliate Addresses and asset amounts can be shortened to reduce memo length.
All memos follow the format:
FUNCTION:PARAM1:PARAM2:PARAM3:PARAM4
The function is invoked by a string, which in turn calls a particular handler in the state machine. The state machine parses the memo looking for the parameters which it simply decodes from human-readable strings.
In addition, some parameters are optional. Simply leave them blank, but retain the
:
separator:FUNCTION:PARAM1:::PARAM4
The following functions can be put into a memo:
- 1.
- 2.
- 3.
- 4.
- 5.
- 6.
- 9.
- 10.
Perform a swap.
SWAP:ASSET:DESTADDR:LIM/INTERVAL/QUANTITY:AFFILIATE:FEE

---|---|---|
Payload | Send the asset to swap. | Must be an active pool on THORChain. |
SWAP | The swap handler. | |
:ASSET | ||
:DESTADDR | The destination address to send to. | Can use THORName. |
:LIM | The trade limit ie, set 100000000 to get a minimum of 1 full asset, else a refund. | |
/INTERVAL | Swap interval in blocks. | Optional, 1 means do not stream. |

Actual Examples:

same as above except the Ether output should be more than 0.1 Ether else refund.SWAP:ETH.ETH:0xe6a30f4f3bad978910e2cbb4d97581f5b5a0ade0:10000000/1/1,

same as above except told to allow streaming swap, mini swap every 3 blocks and THORChain to work out the number of swaps required to achieve optimal price efficiency.SWAP:ETH.ETH:0xe6a30f4f3bad978910e2cbb4d97581f5b5a0ade0:10000000/3/0:t:10
- same as above except will send 10 basis points from the input and send it tot
(THORSwap's THORName).
