validator.changeStatus

Changes a validator's active status. Requires owner permission.

Usage

import { client } from './viem.config'
 
const { receipt } = await client.validator.changeStatusSync({
  validator: '0x742d35Cc6634C0532925a3b844Bc9e7595f0bEbb',
  active: false,
})
 
console.log('Transaction hash:', receipt.transactionHash)
Transaction hash: 0x1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef

import { Account, createClient } from 'viem/tempo'
 
export const client = createClient({
  account: Account.fromSecp256k1('0x...'),
})

Asynchronous Usage

The example above uses a *Sync variant of the action, that will wait for the transaction to be included before returning.

If you are optimizing for performance, you should use the non-sync validator.changeStatus action and wait for inclusion manually:

import { client } from './viem.config'
 
const hash = await client.validator.changeStatus({
  validator: '0x742d35Cc6634C0532925a3b844Bc9e7595f0bEbb',
  active: false,
})
const receipt = await client.waitForTransactionReceipt({ hash })

Return Type

type ReturnType = {
  receipt: TransactionReceipt
}

feeToken (optional)

• Type: Address | bigint

Fee token for the transaction.

Can be an unpaused USD-denominated TIP-20 token address or ID. Use client.fee.validateToken({ token }) to validate a token before submitting a transaction or setting it as a fee preference.

nonce (optional)

• Type: number

validAfter (optional)

• Type: number

Unix timestamp after which the transaction can be included.

throwOnReceiptRevert (optional)
