Tutorial Send a Private Transaction

Tutorials - Send a Private Transaction

This tutorial we will send private transactions on our local private channel.

Requirements

A simple contract will be deployed which records a hash associated with the end user who sent the transaction. For this part you will need to have nodejs installed. Check whether node is installed on your local computer by running the following command:

				
					  $ node --version

Install dependencies

Please clone this repository. It contains all the code necessary to deploy a contract and send a private transaction.

				
					 $ git clone https://github.com/lacchain/samples.git

Now download all the necessary dependencies.

				
					$ cd samples/tessera
$ npm install

Configure

In the file keys.js into directory tessera include:

Tessera node public keys
Hyperledger Besu node RPC URLs
Hyperledger Besu node private keys.

deploy contract

In the multiNodeExample directory, deploy the contract:

				
					$ node deployContract.js

A private transaction receipt returns.

				
					 Transaction Hash  0x38a53fab1d466f0f8f7329ab1d3c0be6cc9c4a0fdcd06896800b313dc8de032b

 Private Transaction Receipt
 { contractAddress: '0xe5f0664574f8e24b3242e13265ef3d4886bfb27f',
  from: '0x211152ca21d5daedbcfbf61173886bbb1a217242',
  output:
  ....
 now you have to run:
 export CONTRACT_ADDRESS=0xe5f0664574f8e24b3242e13265ef3d4886bfb27f

Copy the contract address from the private transaction receipt and set the CONTRACT_ADDRESS environment variable

				
					$ export CONTRACT_ADDRESS=<Contract Address from Private Transaction Receipt>

send private transaction

Store a value in the contract from Node 1:

				
					$ node storeValueFromNode1.js

Node 1 stores the value of 1000 (3e8 in hex) and is visible to Node 1 and Node 2.

				
					Transaction Hash: 0xa625e1782cd3469b9636b40e37a44788419b781bf5de88c3f784acb9f1757187

Note: As expected, log messages indicate that Node 3 Tessera cannot find payloads because Node 3 does not have access to the private transactions between Node 1 and Node 2.
