Go Cardano Serialization Library

Golang library for serialization and deserialiation of Cardano data structures.

Installation

go get github.com/jsambuo/go-cardano-serialization

Usage

Creating a simple transaction

The simplest transaction on Cardano network contains inputs(Unspent Transaction Outputs) and output.

package main

import (
    "log"

    "github.com/jsambuo/go-cardano-serialization/address"
    "github.com/jsambuo/go-cardano-serialization/tx"
)

func main() {
    adaTx := tx.NewTx()
    adaTx.AddInput(
        tx.NewInput(
            "TX_HASH", // Transaction Hash
            0,         // Transaction Index
            10000000   // Lovelace value of UTXO
        )
    )

    receiverAddr, err := address.NewAddress("addr1bech32_receiver_address_here")
    if err != nil {
        log.Fatal(err)
    }

    adaTx.AddOutput(
        tx.NewOutput(
            receiverAddr,
            5000000
        )
    )

    // Set an estimated transaction cost
    adaTx.SetFee(170000)

    // Set the transaction's time to live
    adaTx.SetTTL(505050505)

    // Encode example transaction to cbor hex.
    fmt.Println(adaTx.Hex())
}
