Vote power token internal interface.

Functions#

allowance#

Defined in IERC20 (Source).

function allowance(
    address owner,
    address spender
) external view returns (
    uint256);

Returns the remaining number of tokens that spender will be allowed to spend on behalf of owner through transferFrom. This is zero by default.

This value changes when approve or transferFrom are called.

approve#

Defined in IERC20 (Source).

function approve(
    address spender,
    uint256 amount
) external returns (
    bool);

Sets amount as the allowance of spender over the caller's tokens.

Returns a boolean value indicating whether the operation succeeded.

IMPORTANT: Beware that changing an allowance with this method brings the risk that someone may use both the old and the new allowance by unfortunate transaction ordering. One possible solution to mitigate this race condition is to first reduce the spender's allowance to 0 and set the desired value afterwards: https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/issues/20#issuecomment-263524729

Emits an Approval event.

balanceOf#

Defined in IERC20 (Source).

function balanceOf(
    address account
) external view returns (
    uint256);

Returns the amount of tokens owned by account.

balanceOfAt#

Defined in IVPToken (Docs, Source).

function balanceOfAt(
    address _owner,
    uint256 _blockNumber
) external view returns (
    uint256);

Queries the token balance of _owner at a specific _blockNumber.

Parameters Type Description
_owner address The address from which the balance will be retrieved.
_blockNumber uint256 The block number to query.
Returns Type Description
[0] uint256 The balance at _blockNumber.

batchDelegate#

Defined in IVPToken (Docs, Source).

function batchDelegate(
    address[] _delegatees,
    uint256[] _bips
) external;

Undelegate all percentage delegations from the sender and then delegate corresponding _bips percentage of voting power from the sender to each member of the _delegatees array.

Parameters Type Description
_delegatees address[] The addresses of the new recipients.
_bips uint256[] The percentages of voting power to be delegated expressed in basis points (1/100 of one percent). The sum of all _bips values must be at most 10000 (100%).

batchVotePowerOfAt#

Defined in IIVPToken (Docs, Source).

function batchVotePowerOfAt(
    address[] _owners,
    uint256 _blockNumber
) external view returns (
    uint256[]);

Return the vote power for several addresses.

Parameters Type Description
_owners address[] The list of addresses to query.
_blockNumber uint256 The block number to query.
Returns Type Description
[0] uint256[] Array of vote power for each queried address.

cleanupBlockNumber#

Defined in IICleanable (Docs, Source).

function cleanupBlockNumber(
) external view returns (
    uint256);

Get the current cleanup block number set with setCleanupBlockNumber.

Returns Type Description
[0] uint256 The currently set cleanup block number.

decimals#

Defined in IVPToken (Docs, Source).

function decimals(
) external view returns (
    uint8);

Returns the number of decimals used to get its user representation. For example, if decimals equals 2, a balance of 505 tokens should be displayed to a user as 5.05 (505 / 102).

Tokens usually opt for a value of 18, imitating the relationship between Ether and wei. This is the default value returned by this function, unless it's overridden.

NOTE: This information is only used for display purposes: it in no way affects any of the arithmetic of the contract, including balanceOf and transfer.

Should be compatible with ERC20 method.

delegate#

Defined in IVPToken (Docs, Source).

Delegate voting power to account _to from msg.sender, by percentage.

Parameters Type Description
_to address The address of the recipient.
_bips uint256 The percentage of voting power to be delegated expressed in basis points (1/100 of one percent). Not cumulative: every call resets the delegation value (and a value of 0 revokes all previous delegations).

delegateExplicit#

Defined in IVPToken (Docs, Source).

function delegateExplicit(
    address _to,
    uint256 _amount
) external;

Explicitly delegate _amount voting power to account _to from msg.sender. Compare with delegate which delegates by percentage.

Parameters Type Description
_to address The address of the recipient.
_amount uint256 An explicit vote power amount to be delegated. Not cumulative: every call resets the delegation value (and a value of 0 revokes all previous delegations).

delegatesOf#

_count uint256 The number of delegates.
_delegationMode uint256 Delegation mode: 0 = NOT SET, 1 = PERCENTAGE, 2 = AMOUNT (i.e. explicit).

delegatesOfAt#

Defined in IVPToken (Docs, Source).

function delegatesOfAt(
    address _who,
    uint256 _blockNumber
) external view returns (
    address[] _delegateAddresses,
    uint256[] _bips,
    uint256 _count,
    uint256 _delegationMode);

_count uint256 The number of delegates.
_delegationMode uint256 Delegation mode: 0 = NOT SET, 1 = PERCENTAGE, 2 = AMOUNT (i.e. explicit).

delegationModeOf#

Defined in IVPToken (Docs, Source).

function delegationModeOf(
    address _who
) external view returns (
    uint256);

Parameters Type Description
_who address The address to get delegation mode.
Returns Type Description
[0] uint256 Delegation mode: 0 = NOT SET, 1 = PERCENTAGE, 2 = AMOUNT (i.e. explicit).

name#

Defined in IVPToken (Docs, Source).

function name(
) external view returns (
    string);

Returns the name of the token.

readVotePowerContract#

Defined in IVPToken (Docs, Source).

function readVotePowerContract(
) external view returns (
    contract IVPContractEvents);

Returns VPContract event interface used for read-only operations (view methods). The only non-view method that might be called on it is revokeDelegationAt.

readVotePowerContract is almost always equal to writeVotePowerContract except during an upgrade from one VPContract to a new version (which should happen rarely or never and will be announced beforehand).

Do not call any methods on VPContract directly. State changing methods are forbidden from direct calls. All methods are exposed via VPToken. This is the reason that this method returns IVPContractEvents. Use it only for listening to events and revoking.

revokeDelegationAt#

Defined in IVPToken (Docs, Source).

function revokeDelegationAt(

    uint256 _blockNumber

Revoke all delegation from sender to _who at given block. Only affects the reads via votePowerOfAtCached() in the block _blockNumber. Block _blockNumber must be in the past. This method should be used only to prevent rogue delegate voting in the current voting block. To stop delegating use delegate / delegateExplicit with value of 0 or undelegateAll / undelegateAllExplicit.

Parameters Type Description
_who address Address of the delegatee.
_blockNumber uint256 The block number at which to revoke delegation..

setCleanupBlockNumber#

Defined in IICleanable (Docs, Source).

function setCleanupBlockNumber(
    uint256 _blockNumber

Parameters Type Description
_blockNumber uint256 The new cleanup block number.

setCleanupBlockNumberManager#

Defined in IIVPToken (Docs, Source).
