Backend Functionalities

The backend functionalities are all defined in src/raze/client_base.js , which is mostly self-explained with rich comments. We list 4 main APIs that are most important here:

Register

ClientBase.register(secret)

User inputs his or her private secret and the algorithm will generate a Raze public/private key pair. The Raze public key will be sent in a transaction to register an account in the contract.

Mint

ClientBase.mint(value)

Create a transaction to convert a specified amount of the user's plain tokens to an equivalent amount of encrypted Raze tokens.

Redeem

ClientBase.redeem(value)

Create a transaction to convert a specified amount of the user's encrypted Raze tokens back to an equivalent amount of plain tokens. Note that the transaction will include necessary cryptographic zeroknowledge proof to guarantee that this is a valid burn operation.

Transfer

ClientBase.transfer(receiver, value, decoys)

Create a transaction to transfer a specified amount of the user's encrypted Raze tokens from the current user to a receiver. Note that the transaction will include necessary cryptographic zero-knowledge proof to guarantee that this is a valid transfer operation.
