Provides chain information to contract code.
Current Value
0xRelevant for: developers
The Big Picture
Contracts can query environment values like minimum balance. This constant defines what's available through the chain extension/environment APIs.
From Chain Metadata
Type that bundles together all the runtime configurable interface types. This is not a real config. We just mention the type here as constant so that its type appears in the metadata. Only valid value is `()`.
Use Cases
- Access chain parameters from contracts
- Build chain-aware contract logic
Code Examples
import { createClient, Binary } from "polkadot-api";
import { getWsProvider } from "polkadot-api/ws";
import { sub } from "@polkadot-api/descriptors"; // generated by: npx papi add sub -w wss://entrypoint-finney.opentensor.ai:443
const client = createClient(getWsProvider("wss://entrypoint-finney.opentensor.ai:443"));
const api = client.getTypedApi(sub);
// Query Environment constant
const value = await api.constants.Contracts.Environment();
console.log("Environment:", value);Type Information
