and

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: bool, ...

output: bool

signature: (and b1 b2 ...)

description:

Returns true if all boolean inputs are true. Importantly, the supplied arguments are evaluated in-order and lazily. Lazy evaluation means that if one of the arguments returns false, the function short-circuits, and no subsequent arguments are evaluated.

example:

(and true false) ;; Returns false
(and (is-eq (+ 1 2) 1) (is-eq 4 4)) ;; Returns false
(and (is-eq (+ 1 2) 3) (is-eq 4 4)) ;; Returns true

append

description:

The append function takes a list and another value with the same entry type, and outputs a list of the same type with max_len += 1.

example:

(append (list 1 2 3 4) 5) ;; Returns (1 2 3 4 5)

as-contract

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: A

output: A

signature: (as-contract expr)

description:

The as-contract function switches the current context's tx-sender value to the contract's principal and executes expr with that context. It returns the resulting value of expr.

example:

as-max-len?

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: sequence_A, uint

output: (optional sequence_A)

signature: (as-max-len? sequence max_length)

description:

The as-max-len? function takes a sequence argument and a uint-valued, literal length argument. The function returns an optional type. If the input sequence length is less than or equal to the supplied max_length, this returns (some sequence), otherwise it returns none. Applicable sequence types are (list A), buff, string-ascii and string-utf8.

example:

(as-max-len? (list 2 2 2) u3) ;; Returns (some (2 2 2))
(as-max-len? (list 1 2 3) u2) ;; Returns none
(as-max-len? "hello" u10) ;; Returns (some "hello")
(as-max-len? 0x010203 u10) ;; Returns (some 0x010203)

asserts!

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: bool, C

output: bool

signature: (asserts! bool-expr thrown-value)

description:

The asserts! function admits a boolean argument and asserts its evaluation: if bool-expr is true, asserts! returns true and proceeds in the program execution. If the supplied argument is returning a false value, asserts! returns thrown-value and exits the current control-flow.

example:

(asserts! (is-eq 1 1) (err 1)) ;; Returns true

at-block

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: (buff 32), A

output: A

signature: (at-block id-block-hash expr)

description:

The at-block function evaluates the expression expr as if it were evaluated at the end of the block indicated by the block-hash argument. The expr closure must be read-only.

Note: The block identifying hash must be a hash returned by the id-header-hash block information property. This hash uniquely identifies Stacks blocks and is unique across Stacks forks. While the hash returned by header-hash is unique within the context of a single fork, it is not unique across Stacks forks.

The function returns the result of evaluating expr.

example:

(define-data-var data int 1)
(at-block 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 block-height) ;; Returns u0
(at-block (get-block-info? id-header-hash 0) (var-get data)) ;; Throws NoSuchDataVariable because `data` wasn't initialized at block height 0

begin

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: AnyType, ... A

output: A

signature: (begin expr1 expr2 expr3 ... expr-last)

description:

The begin function evaluates each of its input expressions, returning the return value of the last such expression. Note: intermediary statements returning a response type must be checked.

example:

(begin (+ 1 2) 4 5) ;; Returns 5

Introduced in: Clarity 2

input: int, ... | uint, ...

output: int | uint

signature: (bit-and i1 i2...)

(bit-and -128 -64) ;; Returns -128
(bit-and 28 24 -1) ;; Returns 24

bit-not

Introduced in: Clarity 2

input: int | uint

output: int | uint

signature: (bit-not i1)

description:

Returns the one's compliement (sometimes also called the bitwise compliment or not operator) of i1, effectively reversing the bits in i1. In other words, every bit that is 1 in ì1will be0in the result. Conversely, every bit that is0ini1will be1` in the result.

example:

(bit-not 3) ;; Returns -4
(bit-not u128) ;; Returns u340282366920938463463374607431768211327

bit-shift-left

Introduced in: Clarity 2

input: int, uint | uint, uint

output: int | uint

signature: (bit-shift-left i1 shamt)

description:

Shifts all the bits in i1 to the left by the number of places specified in shamt modulo 128 (the bit width of Clarity integers).

Note that there is a deliberate choice made to ignore arithmetic overflow for this operation. In use cases where overflow should be detected, developers should use *, /, and pow instead of the shift operators.

example:

(bit-shift-left 2 u1) ;; Returns 4
(bit-shift-left 16 u2) ;; Returns 64
(bit-shift-left -64 u1) ;; Returns -128
(bit-shift-left u4 u2) ;; Returns u16
(bit-shift-left 123 u9999999999) ;; Returns -170141183460469231731687303715884105728
(bit-shift-left u123 u9999999999) ;; Returns u170141183460469231731687303715884105728
(bit-shift-left -1 u7) ;; Returns -128
(bit-shift-left -1 u128) ;; Returns -1

bit-shift-right

Introduced in: Clarity 2

input: int, uint | uint, uint

output: int | uint

signature: (bit-shift-right i1 shamt)

description:

Shifts all the bits in i1 to the right by the number of places specified in shamt modulo 128 (the bit width of Clarity integers). When i1 is a uint (unsigned), new bits are filled with zeros. When i1 is an int (signed), the sign is preserved, meaning that new bits are filled with the value of the previous sign-bit.

example:

(bit-shift-right 2 u1) ;; Returns 1
(bit-shift-right 128 u2) ;; Returns 32
(bit-shift-right -64 u1) ;; Returns -32
(bit-shift-right u128 u2) ;; Returns u32
(bit-shift-right 123 u9999999999) ;; Returns 0
(bit-shift-right u123 u9999999999) ;; Returns u0
(bit-shift-right -128 u7) ;; Returns -1

buff-to-int-be

Introduced in: Clarity 2

input: (buff 16)

output: int

signature: (buff-to-int-be (buff 16))

description:

example:

(buff-to-int-be 0x01) ;; Returns 1
(buff-to-int-be 0x00000000000000000000000000000001) ;; Returns 1

(buff-to-int-be 0x) ;; Returns 0

buff-to-int-le

Introduced in: Clarity 2

input: (buff 16)

output: int

signature: (buff-to-int-le (buff 16))

description:

Converts a byte buffer to a signed integer use a little-endian encoding. The byte buffer can be up to 16 bytes in length. If there are fewer than 16 bytes, as this function uses a little-endian encoding, the input behaves as if it is zero-padded on the right.

Note: This function is only available starting with Stacks 2.1.

example:

(buff-to-int-le 0x01) ;; Returns 1
(buff-to-int-le 0x01000000000000000000000000000000) ;; Returns 1

description:

Converts a byte buffer to an unsigned integer use a big-endian encoding. The byte buffer can be up to 16 bytes in length. If there are fewer than 16 bytes, as this function uses a big-endian encoding, the input behaves as if it is zero-padded on the left.

Note: This function is only available starting with Stacks 2.1.

example:

(buff-to-uint-be 0x01) ;; Returns u1
(buff-to-uint-be 0x00000000000000000000000000000001) ;; Returns u1

concat

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: sequence_A, sequence_A

output: sequence_A

signature: (concat sequence1 sequence2)

description:

The concat function takes two sequences of the same type, and returns a concatenated sequence of the same type, with the resulting sequence_len = sequence1_len + sequence2_len. Applicable sequence types are (list A), buff, string-ascii and string-utf8.

example:

(concat (list 1 2) (list 3 4)) ;; Returns (1 2 3 4)

contract-call?

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: ContractName, PublicFunctionName, Arg0, ...

output: (response A B)

signature: (contract-call? .contract-name function-name arg0 arg1 ...)

description:

The contract-call? function executes the given public function of the given contract. You may not use this function to call a public function defined in the current contract. If the public function returns err, any database changes resulting from calling contract-call? are aborted. If the function returns ok, database changes occurred.

example:

;; instantiate the sample-contracts/tokens.clar contract first
(as-contract (contract-call? .tokens mint! u19)) ;; Returns (ok u19)

contract-of

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: Trait

default-to

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: A, (optional A)

output: A

signature: (default-to default-value option-value)

description:

The default-to function attempts to 'unpack' the second argument: if the argument is a (some ...) option, it returns the inner value of the option. If the second argument is a (none) value, default-to it returns the value of default-value.

example:

(define-map names-map { name: (string-ascii 12) } { id: int })
(map-set names-map { name: "blockstack" } { id: 1337 })
(default-to 0 (get id (map-get? names-map (tuple (name "blockstack"))))) ;; Returns 1337
(default-to 0 (get id (map-get? names-map (tuple (name "non-existant"))))) ;; Returns 0

define-constant

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: MethodSignature, MethodBody

output: Not Applicable

signature: (define-constant name expression)

description:

define-constant is used to define a private constant value in a smart contract. The expression passed into the definition is evaluated at contract launch, in the order that it is supplied in the contract. This can lead to undefined function or undefined variable errors in the event that a function or variable used in the expression has not been defined before the constant.

Like other kinds of definition statements, define-constant may only be used at the top level of a smart contract definition (i.e., you cannot put a define statement in the middle of a function body).

example:

(define-constant four (+ 2 2))
(+ 4 four) ;; Returns 8

define-data-var

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: VarName, TypeDefinition, Value

output: Not Applicable

signature: (define-data-var var-name type value)

description:

define-data-var is used to define a new persisted variable for use in a smart contract. Such variable are only modifiable by the current smart contract.

Persisted variable are defined with a type and a value.

Like other kinds of definition statements, define-data-var may only be used at the top level of a smart contract definition (i.e., you cannot put a define statement in the middle of a function body).

example:

(define-data-var size int 0)
(define-private (set-size (value int))  
  (var-set size value))
(set-size 1)
(set-size 2)

define-fungible-token

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: TokenName, <uint>

output: Not Applicable

signature: (define-fungible-token token-name <total-supply>)

description:

define-fungible-token is used to define a new fungible token class for use in the current contract.

The second argument, if supplied, defines the total supply of the fungible token. This ensures that all calls to the ft-mint? function will never be able to create more than total-supply tokens. If any such call were to increase the total supply of tokens passed that amount, that invocation of ft-mint? will result in a runtime error and abort.

Like other kinds of definition statements, define-fungible-token may only be used at the top level of a smart contract definition (i.e., you cannot put a define statement in the middle of a function body).

Tokens defined using define-fungible-token may be used in ft-transfer?, ft-mint?, and ft-get-balance functions

example:

(define-fungible-token stacks)
(define-fungible-token limited-supply-stacks u100)

define-map

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: MapName, TypeDefinition, TypeDefinition

output: Not Applicable

signature: (define-map map-name key-type value-type)

description:

define-map is used to define a new datamap for use in a smart contract. Such maps are only modifiable by the current smart contract.

Maps are defined with a key type and value type, often these types are tuple types.

Like other kinds of definition statements, define-map may only be used at the top level of a smart contract definition (i.e., you cannot put a define statement in the middle of a function body).

example:

(define-map squares { x: int } { square: int })
(define-private (add-entry (x int)) 
  (map-insert squares { x: 2 } { square: (* x x) }))
(add-entry 1)
(add-entry 2)
(add-entry 3)
(add-entry 4)
(add-entry 5)

define-non-fungible-token

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: AssetName, TypeSignature

output: Not Applicable

signature: (define-non-fungible-token asset-name asset-identifier-type)

description:

define-non-fungible-token is used to define a new non-fungible token class for use in the current contract. Individual assets are identified by their asset identifier, which must be of the type asset-identifier-type. Asset identifiers are unique identifiers.

Like other kinds of definition statements, define-non-fungible-token may only be used at the top level of a smart contract definition (i.e., you cannot put a define statement in the middle of a function body).

Assets defined using define-non-fungible-token may be used in nft-transfer?, nft-mint?, and nft-get-owner? functions

example:

(define-non-fungible-token names (buff 50))

define-private

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: MethodSignature, MethodBody

output: Not Applicable

signature: (define-private (function-name (arg-name-0 arg-type-0) (arg-name-1 arg-type-1) ...) function-body)

description:

define-private is used to define private functions for a smart contract. Private functions may not be called from other smart contracts, nor may they be invoked directly by users. Instead, these functions may only be invoked by other functions defined in the same smart contract.

Like other kinds of definition statements, define-private may only be used at the top level of a smart contract definition (i.e., you cannot put a define statement in the middle of a function body).

Private functions may return any type.

example:

(define-private (max-of (i1 int) (i2 int))  
  (if (> i1 i2)
    i1      
    i2))
(max-of 4 6) ;; Returns 6

define-public

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: MethodSignature, MethodBody

output: Not Applicable

signature: (define-public (function-name (arg-name-0 arg-type-0) (arg-name-1 arg-type-1) ...) function-body)

description:

define-public is used to define a public function and transaction for a smart contract. Public functions are callable from other smart contracts and may be invoked directly by users by submitting a transaction to the Stacks blockchain.

Like other kinds of definition statements, define-public may only be used at the top level of a smart contract definition (i.e., you cannot put a define statement in the middle of a function body).

Public functions must return a ResponseType (using either ok or err). Any datamap modifications performed by a public function is aborted if the function returns an err type. Public functions may be invoked by other contracts via contract-call?.

example:

(define-public (hello-world (input int))  
  (begin 
    (print (+ 2 input))
    (ok input)))

define-read-only

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: MethodSignature, MethodBody

output: Not Applicable

signature: (define-read-only (function-name (arg-name-0 arg-type-0) (arg-name-1 arg-type-1) ...) function-body)

description:

define-read-only is used to define a public read-only function for a smart contract. Such functions are callable from other smart contracts.

Like other kinds of definition statements, define-read-only may only be used at the top level of a smart contract definition (i.e., you cannot put a define statement in the middle of a function body).

Read-only functions may return any type. However, read-only functions may not perform any datamap modifications, or call any functions which perform such modifications. This is enforced both during type checks and during the execution of the function. Public read-only functions may be invoked by other contracts via contract-call?.

example:

(define-read-only (just-return-one-hundred)  
  (* 10 10))

define-trait

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: VarName, [MethodSignature]

output: Not Applicable

signature: (define-trait trait-name ((func1-name (arg1-type arg2-type ...) (return-type))))

description:

define-trait is used to define a new trait definition for use in a smart contract. Other contracts can implement a given trait and then have their contract identifier being passed as a function argument in order to be called dynamically with contract-call?.

Traits are defined with a name, and a list functions, defined with a name, a list of argument types, and return type.

In Clarity 1, a trait type can be used to specify the type of a function parameter. A parameter with a trait type can be used as the target of a dynamic contract-call?. A principal literal (e.g. ST1PQHQKV0RJXZFY1DGX8MNSNYVE3VGZJSRTPGZGM.foo) may be passed as a trait parameter if the specified contract implements all of the functions specified by the trait. A trait value (originating from a parameter with trait type) may also be passed as a trait parameter if the types are the same.

Beginning in Clarity 2, a trait can be used in all of the same ways that a built-in type can be used, except that it cannot be stored in a data var or map, since this would inhibit static analysis. This means that a trait type can be embedded in a compound type (e.g. (optional <my-trait>) or (list 4 <my-trait>)) and a trait value can be bound to a variable in a let or match expression. In addition to the principal literal and trait value with matching type allowed in Clarity 1, Clarity 2 also supports implicit casting from a compatible trait, meaning that a value of type trait-a may be passed to a parameter with type trait-b if trait-a includes all of the requirements of trait-b (and optionally additional functions).

Like other kinds of definition statements, define-trait may only be used at the top level of a smart contract definition (i.e., you cannot put a define statement in the middle of a function body).

example:

(define-trait token-trait    
  ((transfer? (principal principal uint) (response uint uint)) 
  (get-balance (principal) (response uint uint))))

element-at

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: sequence_A, uint

output: (optional A)

signature: (element-at? sequence index)

description:

The element-at? function returns the element at index in the provided sequence. Applicable sequence types are (list A), buff, string-ascii and string-utf8, for which the corresponding element types are, respectively, A, (buff 1), (string-ascii 1) and (string-utf8 1). In Clarity1, element-at must be used (without the ?). The ? is added in Clarity2 for consistency -- built-ins that return responses or optionals end in ?. The Clarity1 spelling is left as an alias in Clarity2 for backwards compatibility.

example:

(element-at? "blockstack" u5) ;; Returns (some "s")
(element-at? (list 1 2 3 4 5) u5) ;; Returns none
(element-at? (list 1 2 3 4 5) (+ u1 u2)) ;; Returns (some 4)
(element-at? "abcd" u1) ;; Returns (some "b")
(element-at? 0xfb01 u1) ;; Returns (some 0x01)

element-at?

(element-at? 0xfb01 u1) ;; Returns (some 0x01)

err

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: A

output: (response A B)

signature: (err value)

description:

The err function constructs a response type from the input value. Use err for creating return values in public functions. An err value indicates that any database changes during the processing of the function should be rolled back.

example:

(err true) ;; Returns (err true)

filter

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: Function(A) -> bool, sequence_A

output: sequence_A

signature: (filter func sequence)

description:

The filter function applies the input function func to each element of the input sequence, and returns the same sequence with any elements removed for which func returned false. Applicable sequence types are (list A), buff, string-ascii and string-utf8, for which the corresponding element types are, respectively, A, (buff 1), (string-ascii 1) and (string-utf8 1). The func argument must be a literal function name.

example:

(filter not (list true false true false)) ;; Returns (false false)
(define-private (is-a (char (string-utf8 1))) 
  (is-eq char u"a"))
(filter is-a u"acabd") ;; Returns u"aa"
(define-private (is-zero (char (buff 1)))
  (is-eq char 0x00))

fold

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: Function(A, B) -> B, sequence_A, B

output: B

signature: (fold func sequence_A initial_B)

description:

The fold function condenses sequence_A into a value of type B by recursively applies the function func to each element of the input sequence and the output of a previous application of func.

fold uses initial_B in the initial application of func, along with the first element of sequence_A. The resulting value of type B is used for the next application of func, along with the next element of sequence_A and so on. fold returns the last value of type B returned by these successive applications func.

Applicable sequence types are (list A), buff, string-ascii and string-utf8, for which the corresponding element types are, respectively, A, (buff 1), (string-ascii 1) and (string-utf8 1). The func argument must be a literal function name.

example:

(fold * (list 2 2 2) 1) ;; Returns 8
(fold * (list 2 2 2) 0) ;; Returns 0
;; calculates (- 11 (- 7 (- 3 2)))
(fold - (list 3 7 11) 2) ;; Returns 5 
(define-private (concat-string (a (string-ascii 20)) (b (string-ascii 20))) 
  (unwrap-panic (as-max-len? (concat a b) u20)))
(fold concat-string "cdef" "ab")   ;; Returns "fedcab"
(fold concat-string (list "cd" "ef") "ab")   ;; Returns "efcdab"
(define-private (concat-buff (a (buff 20)) (b (buff 20)))
  (unwrap-panic (as-max-len? (concat a b) u20)))

ft-burn?

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: TokenName, uint, principal

output: (response bool uint)

signature: (ft-burn? token-name amount sender)

description:

ft-burn? is used to decrease the token balance for the sender principal for a token type defined using define-fungible-token. The decreased token balance is not transfered to another principal, but rather destroyed, reducing the circulating supply.

On a successful burn, it returns (ok true). In the event of an unsuccessful burn it returns one of the following error codes:

(err u1) -- sender does not have enough balance to burn this amount or the amount specified is not positive

example:

(define-fungible-token stackaroo)
(ft-mint? stackaroo u100 'SPAXYA5XS51713FDTQ8H94EJ4V579CXMTRNBZKSF) ;; Returns (ok true)
(ft-burn? stackaroo u50 'SPAXYA5XS51713FDTQ8H94EJ4V579CXMTRNBZKSF) ;; Returns (ok true)

ft-get-balance

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: TokenName, principal

output: uint

signature: (ft-get-balance token-name principal)

example:

(define-fungible-token stackaroo)
(ft-mint? stackaroo u100 'SZ2J6ZY48GV1EZ5V2V5RB9MP66SW86PYKKQ9H6DPR)
(ft-get-balance stackaroo 'SZ2J6ZY48GV1EZ5V2V5RB9MP66SW86PYKKQ9H6DPR) ;; Returns u100

ft-get-supply

(ft-get-supply stackaroo) ;; Returns u100

ft-mint?

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: TokenName, uint, principal

output: (response bool uint)

signature: (ft-mint? token-name amount recipient)

description:

ft-mint? is used to increase the token balance for the recipient principal for a token type defined using define-fungible-token. The increased token balance is not transfered from another principal, but rather minted.

If a non-positive amount is provided to mint, this function returns (err 1). Otherwise, on successfuly mint, it returns (ok true).

example:

(define-fungible-token stackaroo)
(ft-mint? stackaroo u100 'SPAXYA5XS51713FDTQ8H94EJ4V579CXMTRNBZKSF) ;; Returns (ok true)

ft-transfer?

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: TokenName, uint, principal, principal

output: (response bool uint)

signature: (ft-transfer? token-name amount sender recipient)

description:

ft-transfer? is used to increase the token balance for the recipient principal for a token type defined using define-fungible-token by debiting the sender principal. In contrast to stx-transfer?, any user can transfer the assets. When used, relevant guards need to be added.

This function returns (ok true) if the transfer is successful. In the event of an unsuccessful transfer it returns one of the following error codes:

(err u1) -- sender does not have enough balance to transfer (err u2) -- sender and recipient are the same principal (err u3) -- amount to send is non-positive

example:

(define-fungible-token stackaroo)
(ft-mint? stackaroo u100 'SZ2J6ZY48GV1EZ5V2V5RB9MP66SW86PYKKQ9H6DPR)
(ft-transfer? stackaroo u50 'SZ2J6ZY48GV1EZ5V2V5RB9MP66SW86PYKKQ9H6DPR 'SPAXYA5XS51713FDTQ8H94EJ4V579CXMTRNBZKSF) ;; Returns (ok true)

get

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: KeyName, (tuple) | (optional (tuple))

output: A

signature: (get key-name tuple)

description:

The get function fetches the value associated with a given key from the supplied typed tuple. If an Optional value is supplied as the inputted tuple, get returns an Optional type of the specified key in the tuple. If the supplied option is a (none) option, get returns (none).

example:

(define-map names-map { name: (string-ascii 12) } { id: int })
(map-insert names-map { name: "blockstack" } { id: 1337 }) ;; Returns true
(get id (tuple (name "blockstack") (id 1337))) ;; Returns 1337
(get id (map-get? names-map (tuple (name "blockstack")))) ;; Returns (some 1337)
(get id (map-get? names-map (tuple (name "non-existent")))) ;; Returns none

get-block-info?

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: BlockInfoPropertyName, uint

output: (optional buff) | (optional uint)

signature: (get-block-info? prop-name block-height)

description:

The get-block-info? function fetches data for a block of the given Stacks block height. The value and type returned are determined by the specified BlockInfoPropertyName. If the provided block-height does not correspond to an existing block prior to the current block, the function returns none. The currently available property names are as follows:

burnchain-header-hash: This property returns a (buff 32) value containing the header hash of the burnchain (Bitcoin) block that selected the Stacks block at the given Stacks chain height.

id-header-hash: This property returns a (buff 32) value containing the index block hash of a Stacks block. This hash is globally unique, and is derived from the block hash and the history of accepted PoX operations. This is also the block hash value you would pass into (at-block).

header-hash: This property returns a (buff 32) value containing the header hash of a Stacks block, given a Stacks chain height. *WARNING this hash is not guaranteed to be globally unique, since the same Stacks block can be mined in different PoX forks. If you need global uniqueness, you should use id-header-hash.

miner-address: This property returns a principal value corresponding to the miner of the given block. WARNING In Stacks 2.1, this is not guaranteed to be the same principal that received the block reward, since Stacks 2.1 supports coinbase transactions that pay the reward to a contract address. This is merely the address of the principal that produced the block.

time: This property returns a uint value of the block header time field. This is a Unix epoch timestamp in seconds which roughly corresponds to when the block was mined. Note: this does not increase monotonically with each block and block times are accurate only to within two hours. See BIP113 for more information.

New in Stacks 2.1:

block-reward: This property returns a uint value for the total block reward of the indicated Stacks block. This value is only available once the reward for the block matures. That is, the latest block-reward value available is at least 101 Stacks blocks in the past (on mainnet). The reward includes the coinbase, the anchored block's transaction fees, and the shares of the confirmed and produced microblock transaction fees earned by this block's miner. Note that this value may be smaller than the Stacks coinbase at this height, because the miner may have been punished with a valid PoisonMicroblock transaction in the event that the miner published two or more microblock stream forks.

miner-spend-total: This property returns a uint value for the total number of burnchain tokens (i.e. satoshis) spent by all miners trying to win this block.

miner-spend-winner: This property returns a uint value for the number of burnchain tokens (i.e. satoshis) spent by the winning miner for this Stacks block. Note that this value is less than or equal to the value for miner-spend-total at the same block height.

example:

(get-block-info? time u0) ;; Returns (some u1557860301)
(get-block-info? header-hash u0) ;; Returns (some 0x374708fff7719dd5979ec875d56cd2286f6d3cf7ec317a3b25632aab28ec37bb)
(get-block-info? vrf-seed u0) ;; Returns (some 0xf490de2920c8a35fabeb13208852aa28c76f9be9b03a4dd2b3c075f7a26923b4)

get-burn-block-info?

Introduced in: Clarity 2

input: BurnBlockInfoPropertyName, uint

output: (optional buff) | (optional (tuple (addrs (list 2 (tuple (hashbytes (buff 32)) (version (buff 1))))) (payout uint)))

signature: (get-burn-block-info? prop-name block-height)

description:

The get-burn-block-info? function fetches data for a block of the given burnchain block height. The value and type returned are determined by the specified BlockInfoPropertyName. Valid values for block-height only include heights between the burnchain height at the time the Stacks chain was launched, and the last-processed burnchain block. If the block-height argument falls outside of this range, then none shall be returned.

The following BlockInfoPropertyName values are defined:

The header-hash property returns a 32-byte buffer representing the header hash of the burnchain block at burnchain height block-height.
The pox-addrs property returns a tuple with two items: a list of up to two PoX addresses that received a PoX payout at that block height, and the amount of burnchain tokens paid to each address (note that per the blockchain consensus rules, each PoX payout will be the same for each address in the block-commit transaction). The list will include burn addresses -- that is, the unspendable addresses that miners pay to when there are no PoX addresses left to be paid. During the prepare phase, there will be exactly one burn address reported. During the reward phase, up to two burn addresses may be reported in the event that some PoX reward slots are not claimed.

The addrs list contains the same PoX address values passed into the PoX smart contract:

They each have type signature (tuple (hashbytes (buff 32)) (version (buff 1)))
The version field can be any of the following:
- 0x00 means this is a p2pkh address, and hashbytes is the 20-byte hash160 of a single public key
- 0x01 means this is a p2sh address, and hashbytes is the 20-byte hash160 of a redeemScript script
- 0x02 means this is a p2wpkh-p2sh address, and hashbytes is the 20-byte hash160 of a p2wpkh witness script
- 0x03 means this is a p2wsh-p2sh address, and hashbytes is the 20-byte hash160 of a p2wsh witness script
- 0x04 means this is a p2wpkh address, and hashbytes is the 20-byte hash160 of the witness script
- 0x05 means this is a p2wsh address, and hashbytes is the 32-byte sha256 of the witness script
- 0x06 means this is a p2tr address, and hashbytes is the 32-byte sha256 of the witness script

example:

(get-burn-block-info? header-hash u677050) ;; Returns (some 0xe67141016c88a7f1203eca0b4312f2ed141531f59303a1c267d7d83ab6b977d8)
(get-burn-block-info? pox-addrs u677050) ;; Returns (some (tuple (addrs ( (tuple (hashbytes 0x395f3643cea07ec4eec73b4d9a973dcce56b9bf1) (version 0x00)) (tuple (hashbytes 0x7c6775e20e3e938d2d7e9d79ac310108ba501ddb) (version 0x01)))) (payout u123)))

hash160

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: buff|uint|int

output: (buff 20)

signature: (hash160 value)

The hash160 function computes RIPEMD160(SHA256(x)) of the inputted value. If an integer (128 bit) is supplied the hash is computed over the little-endian representation of the integer.

example:

(hash160 0) ;; Returns 0xe4352f72356db555721651aa612e00379167b30f

if

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: bool, A, A

output: A

signature: (if bool1 expr1 expr2)

description:

example:

(if true 1 2) ;; Returns 1
(if (> 1 2) 1 2) ;; Returns 2

impl-trait

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: TraitIdentifier

output: Not Applicable

signature: (impl-trait trait-identifier)

description:

impl-trait can be use for asserting that a contract is fully implementing a given trait. Additional checks are being performed when the contract is being published, rejecting the deployment if the contract is violating the trait specification.

Trait identifiers can either be using the sugared syntax (.token-a.token-trait), or be fully qualified ('SPAXYA5XS51713FDTQ8H94EJ4V579CXMTRNBZKSF.token-a.token-trait).

Like other kinds of definition statements, impl-trait may only be used at the top level of a smart contract definition (i.e., you cannot put such a statement in the middle of a function body).

example:

(impl-trait 'SPAXYA5XS51713FDTQ8H94EJ4V579CXMTRNBZKSF.token-a.token-trait)
(define-public (get-balance (account principal))  
  (ok u0))

  (ok u0))

index-of

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: sequence_A, A

output: (optional uint)

signature: (index-of? sequence item)

description:

The index-of? function returns the first index at which item can be found, using is-eq checks, in the provided sequence. Applicable sequence types are (list A), buff, string-ascii and string-utf8, for which the corresponding element types are, respectively, A, (buff 1), (string-ascii 1) and (string-utf8 1). If the target item is not found in the sequence (or if an empty string or buffer is supplied), this function returns none. In Clarity1, index-of must be used (without the ?). The ? is added in Clarity2 for consistency -- built-ins that return responses or optionals end in ?. The Clarity1 spelling is left as an alias in Clarity2 for backwards compatibility.

example:

(index-of? "blockstack" "b") ;; Returns (some u0)
(index-of? "blockstack" "k") ;; Returns (some u4)
(index-of? "blockstack" "") ;; Returns none

That is, the network is either of type mainnet, or testnet. Only SPxxxx and SMxxxx c32check form addresses can spend tokens on a mainnet, whereas only STxxxx and SNxxxx c32check forms addresses can spend tokens on a testnet. All addresses can receive tokens, but only principal c32check form addresses that match the network type can spend tokens on the network. This method will return true if and only if the principal matches the network type, and false otherwise.

The keccak256 function computes KECCAK256(value) of the inputted value. Note that this differs from the NIST SHA-3 (that is, FIPS 202) standard. If an integer (128 bit) is supplied the hash is computed over the little-endian representation of the integer.

example:

(keccak256 0) ;; Returns 0xf490de2920c8a35fabeb13208852aa28c76f9be9b03a4dd2b3c075f7a26923b4

len

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: sequence_A

output: uint

signature: (len sequence)

description:

The len function returns the length of a given sequence. Applicable sequence types are (list A), buff, string-ascii and string-utf8.

example:

(len "blockstack") ;; Returns u10
(len (list 1 2 3 4 5)) ;; Returns u5
(len 0x010203) ;; Returns u3

let

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: ((name1 AnyType) (name2 AnyType) ...), AnyType, ... A

output: A

signature: (let ((name1 expr1) (name2 expr2) ...) expr-body1 expr-body2 ... expr-body-last)

description:

The let function accepts a list of variable name and expression pairs, evaluating each expression and binding it to the corresponding variable name. let bindings are sequential: when a let binding is evaluated, it may refer to prior binding. The context created by this set of bindings is used for evaluating its body expressions. The let expression returns the value of the last such body expression. Note: intermediary statements returning a response type must be checked

example:

(let 
  ( (a 2) (b (+ 5 6 7))) 
  (print a) 
  (print b) 
  (+ a b)) ;; Returns 20
(let 
  ( (a 5) (c (+ a 1)) (d (+ c 1)) (b (+ a c d))) 
  (print a) 
  (print b) 
  (+ a b)) ;; Returns 23

list

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: A, ...

output: (list A)

signature: (list expr1 expr2 expr3 ...)

description:

The list function constructs a list composed of the inputted values. Each supplied value must be of the same type.

example:

(list (+ 1 2) 4 5) ;; Returns (3 4 5)

log2

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: int | uint

output: int | uint

signature: (log2 n)

description:

Returns the power to which the number 2 must be raised to to obtain the value n, rounded down to the nearest integer. Fails on a negative numbers.

example:

(log2 u8) ;; Returns u3
(log2 8) ;; Returns 3
(log2 u1) ;; Returns u0
(log2 1000) ;; Returns 9

map

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: Function(A, B, ..., N) -> X, sequence_A, sequence_B, ..., sequence_N

output: (list X)

signature: (map func sequence_A sequence_B ... sequence_N)

description:

The map function applies the function func to each corresponding element of the input sequences, and outputs a list of the same type containing the outputs from those function applications. Applicable sequence types are (list A), buff, string-ascii and string-utf8, for which the corresponding element types are, respectively, A, (buff 1), (string-ascii 1) and (string-utf8 1). The func argument must be a literal function name. Also, note that, no matter what kind of sequences the inputs are, the output is always a list.

example:

(map not (list true false true false)) ;; Returns (false true false true)
(map + (list 1 2 3) (list 1 2 3) (list 1 2 3)) ;; Returns (3 6 9)
(define-private (a-or-b (char (string-utf8 1))) 
  (if (is-eq char u"a") u"a" u"b"))
(map a-or-b u"aca") ;; Returns (u"a" u"b" u"a")
(define-private (zero-or-one (char (buff 1))) 
  (if (is-eq char 0x00) 0x00 0x01))
(map zero-or-one 0x000102) ;; Returns (0x00 0x01 0x01)

map-delete

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: MapName, tuple

output: bool

signature: (map-delete map-name key-tuple)

description:

The map-delete function removes the value associated with the input key for the given map. If an item exists and is removed, the function returns true. If a value did not exist for this key in the data map, the function returns false.

example:

(define-map names-map { name: (string-ascii 10) } { id: int })
(map-insert names-map { name: "blockstack" } { id: 1337 }) ;; Returns true
(map-delete names-map { name: "blockstack" }) ;; Returns true
(map-delete names-map { name: "blockstack" }) ;; Returns false
(map-delete names-map (tuple (name "blockstack"))) ;; Same command, using a shorthand for constructing the tuple

map-get?

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: MapName, tuple

output: (optional (tuple))

signature: (map-get? map-name key-tuple)

description:

The map-get? function looks up and returns an entry from a contract's data map. The value is looked up using key-tuple. If there is no value associated with that key in the data map, the function returns a none option. Otherwise, it returns (some value).

example:

(define-map names-map { name: (string-ascii 10) } { id: int })
(map-set names-map { name: "blockstack" } { id: 1337 })
(map-get? names-map (tuple (name "blockstack"))) ;; Returns (some (tuple (id 1337)))
(map-get? names-map { name: "blockstack" }) ;; Same command, using a shorthand for constructing the tuple

map-insert

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: MapName, tuple_A, tuple_B

output: bool

signature: (map-insert map-name key-tuple value-tuple)

description:

The map-insert function sets the value associated with the input key to the inputted value if and only if there is not already a value associated with the key in the map. If an insert occurs, the function returns true. If a value already existed for this key in the data map, the function returns false.

Note: the value-tuple requires 1 additional byte for storage in the materialized blockchain state, and therefore the maximum size of a value that may be inserted into a map is MAX_CLARITY_VALUE - 1.

example:

(define-map names-map { name: (string-ascii 10) } { id: int })
(map-insert names-map { name: "blockstack" } { id: 1337 }) ;; Returns true
(map-insert names-map { name: "blockstack" } { id: 1337 }) ;; Returns false
(map-insert names-map (tuple (name "blockstack")) (tuple (id 1337))) ;; Same command, using a shorthand for constructing the tuple

map-set

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: MapName, tuple_A, tuple_B

output: bool

signature: (map-set map-name key-tuple value-tuple)

description:

The map-set function sets the value associated with the input key to the inputted value. This function performs a blind update; whether or not a value is already associated with the key, the function overwrites that existing association.

example:

(define-map names-map { name: (string-ascii 10) } { id: int })
(map-set names-map { name: "blockstack" } { id: 1337 }) ;; Returns true
(map-set names-map (tuple (name "blockstack")) (tuple (id 1337))) ;; Same command, using a shorthand for constructing the tuple

match

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: (optional A) name expression expression | (response A B) name expression name expression

output: C

signature: (match opt-input some-binding-name some-branch none-branch) | (match-resp input ok-binding-name ok-branch err-binding-name err-branch)

description:

The match function is used to test and destructure optional and response types.

If the input is an optional, it tests whether the provided input is a some or none option, and evaluates some-branch or none-branch in each respective case.

Within the some-branch, the contained value of the input argument is bound to the provided some-binding-name name.

Only one of the branches will be evaluated (similar to if statements).

If the input is a response, it tests whether the provided input is an ok or err response type, and evaluates ok-branch or err-branch in each respective case.

Within the ok-branch, the contained ok value of the input argument is bound to the provided ok-binding-name name.

Within the err-branch, the contained err value of the input argument is bound to the provided err-binding-name name.

Only one of the branches will be evaluated (similar to if statements).

Note: Type checking requires that the type of both the ok and err parts of the response object be determinable. For situations in which one of the parts of a response is untyped, you should use unwrap-panic or unwrap-err-panic instead of match.

example:

(define-private (add-10 (x (optional int)))  
  (match x 
    value (+ 10 value)
    10))
(add-10 (some 5)) ;; Returns 15
(add-10 none) ;; Returns 10
(define-private (add-or-pass-err (x (response int (string-ascii 10))) (to-add int))  
  (match x
    value (ok (+ to-add value))
    err-value (err err-value)))
(add-or-pass-err (ok 5) 20) ;; Returns (ok 25)
(add-or-pass-err (err "ERROR") 20) ;; Returns (err "ERROR")

merge

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: tuple, tuple

output: tuple

signature: (merge tuple { key1: val1 })

description:

The merge function returns a new tuple with the combined fields, without mutating the supplied tuples.

example:

(define-map users { id: int } { name: (string-ascii 12), address: (optional principal) })
(map-insert users { id: 1337 } { name: "john", address: none }) ;; Returns true
(let 
  ( (user (unwrap-panic (map-get? users { id: 1337 }))))    
  (merge user { address: (some 'SPAXYA5XS51713FDTQ8H94EJ4V579CXMTRNBZKSF) })) ;; Returns (tuple (address (some SPAXYA5XS51713FDTQ8H94EJ4V579CXMTRNBZKSF)) (name "john"))

mod

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: int, int | uint, uint | string-ascii, string-ascii | string-utf8, string-utf8 | buff, buff

output: int | uint

signature: (mod i1 i2)

description:

Returns the integer remainder from integer dividing i1 by i2. In the event of a division by zero, throws a runtime error.

example:

(mod 2 3) ;; Returns 2
(mod 5 2) ;; Returns 1
(mod 7 1) ;; Returns 0

nft-burn?

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: AssetName, A, principal

output: (response bool uint)

signature: (nft-burn? asset-class asset-identifier sender)

description:

nft-burn? is used to burn an asset that the sender principal owns. The asset must have been defined using define-non-fungible-token, and the supplied asset-identifier must be of the same type specified in that definition.

On a successful burn, it returns (ok true). In the event of an unsuccessful burn it returns one of the following error codes:

(err u1) -- sender does not own the specified asset (err u3) -- the asset specified by asset-identifier does not exist

example:

(define-non-fungible-token stackaroo (string-ascii 40))
(nft-mint? stackaroo "Roo" 'SPAXYA5XS51713FDTQ8H94EJ4V579CXMTRNBZKSF) ;; Returns (ok true)
(nft-burn? stackaroo "Roo" 'SPAXYA5XS51713FDTQ8H94EJ4V579CXMTRNBZKSF) ;; Returns (ok true)

nft-get-owner?

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: AssetName, A

output: (optional principal)

signature: (nft-get-owner? asset-class asset-identifier)

description:

nft-get-owner? returns the owner of an asset, identified by asset-identifier, or none if the asset does not exist. The asset type must have been defined using define-non-fungible-token, and the supplied asset-identifier must be of the same type specified in that definition.

example:

(define-non-fungible-token stackaroo (string-ascii 40))
(nft-mint? stackaroo "Roo" 'SPAXYA5XS51713FDTQ8H94EJ4V579CXMTRNBZKSF)
(nft-get-owner? stackaroo "Roo") ;; Returns (some SPAXYA5XS51713FDTQ8H94EJ4V579CXMTRNBZKSF)
(nft-get-owner? stackaroo "Too") ;; Returns none

nft-mint?

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: AssetName, A, principal

output: (response bool uint)

signature: (nft-mint? asset-class asset-identifier recipient)

description:

nft-mint? is used to instantiate an asset and set that asset's owner to the recipient principal. The asset must have been defined using define-non-fungible-token, and the supplied asset-identifier must be of the same type specified in that definition.

If an asset identified by asset-identifier already exists, this function will return an error with the following error code:

(err u1)

Otherwise, on successfuly mint, it returns (ok true).

example:

(define-non-fungible-token stackaroo (string-ascii 40))
(nft-mint? stackaroo "Roo" 'SPAXYA5XS51713FDTQ8H94EJ4V579CXMTRNBZKSF) ;; Returns (ok true)

nft-transfer?

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: AssetName, A, principal, principal

output: (response bool uint)

signature: (nft-transfer? asset-class asset-identifier sender recipient)

description:

nft-transfer? is used to change the owner of an asset identified by asset-identifier from sender to recipient. The asset-class must have been defined by define-non-fungible-token and asset-identifier must be of the type specified in that definition. In contrast to stx-transfer?, any user can transfer the asset. When used, relevant guards need to be added.

This function returns (ok true) if the transfer is successful. In the event of an unsuccessful transfer it returns one of the following error codes:

(err u1) -- sender does not own the asset (err u2) -- sender and recipient are the same principal (err u3) -- asset identified by asset-identifier does not exist

example:

(define-non-fungible-token stackaroo (string-ascii 40))
(nft-mint? stackaroo "Roo" 'SZ2J6ZY48GV1EZ5V2V5RB9MP66SW86PYKKQ9H6DPR)
(nft-transfer? stackaroo "Roo" 'SZ2J6ZY48GV1EZ5V2V5RB9MP66SW86PYKKQ9H6DPR 'SPAXYA5XS51713FDTQ8H94EJ4V579CXMTRNBZKSF) ;; Returns (ok true)
(nft-transfer? stackaroo "Roo" 'SZ2J6ZY48GV1EZ5V2V5RB9MP66SW86PYKKQ9H6DPR 'SPAXYA5XS51713FDTQ8H94EJ4V579CXMTRNBZKSF) ;; Returns (err u1)
(nft-transfer? stackaroo "Stacka" 'SZ2J6ZY48GV1EZ5V2V5RB9MP66SW86PYKKQ9H6DPR 'SPAXYA5XS51713FDTQ8H94EJ4V579CXMTRNBZKSF) ;; Returns (err u3)

not

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: bool

output: bool

signature: (not b1)

description:

Returns the inverse of the boolean input.

example:

(not true) ;; Returns false
(not (is-eq 1 2)) ;; Returns true

ok

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: A

output: (response A B)

signature: (ok value)

description:

The ok function constructs a response type from the input value. Use ok for creating return values in public functions. An ok value indicates that any database changes during the processing of the function should materialize.

example:

(ok 1) ;; Returns (ok 1)

or

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: bool, ...

output: bool

signature: (or b1 b2 ...)

description:

Returns true if any boolean inputs are true. Importantly, the supplied arguments are evaluated in-order and lazily. Lazy evaluation means that if one of the arguments returns true, the function short-circuits, and no subsequent arguments are evaluated.

example:

(or true false) ;; Returns true
(or (is-eq (+ 1 2) 1) (is-eq 4 4)) ;; Returns true
(or (is-eq (+ 1 2) 1) (is-eq 3 4)) ;; Returns false
(or (is-eq (+ 1 2) 3) (is-eq 4 4)) ;; Returns true

pow

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: int, int | uint, uint | string-ascii, string-ascii | string-utf8, string-utf8 | buff, buff

output: int | uint

signature: (pow i1 i2)

description:

Returns the result of raising i1 to the power of i2. In the event of an overflow, throws a runtime error. Note: Corner cases are handled with the following rules:

if both i1 and i2 are 0, return 1
if i1 is 1, return 1
if i1 is 0, return 0
if i2 is 1, return i1
if i2 is negative or greater than u32::MAX, throw a runtime error

example:

(pow 2 3) ;; Returns 8
(pow 2 2) ;; Returns 4
(pow 7 1) ;; Returns 7

principal-construct?

Introduced in: Clarity 2

input: (buff 1), (buff 20), [(string-ascii 40)]

output: (response principal { error_code: uint, principal: (option principal) })

signature: (principal-construct? (buff 1) (buff 20) [(string-ascii 40)])

description:

A principal value represents either a set of keys, or a smart contract. The former, called a standard principal, is encoded as a (buff 1) version byte, indicating the type of account and the type of network that this principal can spend tokens on, and a (buff 20) public key hash, characterizing the principal's unique identity. The latter, a contract principal, is encoded as a standard principal concatenated with a (string-ascii 40) contract name that identifies the code body.

The principal-construct? function allows users to create either standard or contract principals, depending on which form is used. To create a standard principal, principal-construct? would be called with two arguments: it takes as input a (buff 1) which encodes the principal address's version-byte, a (buff 20) which encodes the principal address's hash-bytes. To create a contract principal, principal-construct? would be called with three arguments: the (buff 1) and (buff 20) to represent the standard principal that created the contract, and a (string-ascii 40) which encodes the contract's name. On success, this function returns either a standard principal or contract principal, depending on whether or not the third (string-ascii 40) argument is given.

This function returns a Response. On success, the ok value is a Principal. The err value is a value tuple with the form { error_code: uint, value: (optional principal) }.

If the single-byte version-byte is in the valid range 0x00 to 0x1f, but is not an appropriate version byte for the current network, then the error will be u0, and value will contain (some principal), where the wrapped value is the principal. If the version-byte is not in this range, however, then the value will be none.

If the version-byte is a buff of length 0, if the single-byte version-byte is a value greater than 0x1f, or the hash-bytes is a buff of length not equal to 20, then error_code will be u1 and value will be None.

If a name is given, and the name is either an empty string or contains ASCII characters that are not allowed in contract names, then error_code will be u2.

Note: This function is only available starting with Stacks 2.1.

example:

(principal-construct? 0x1a 0xfa6bf38ed557fe417333710d6033e9419391a320) ;; Returns (ok ST3X6QWWETNBZWGBK6DRGTR1KX50S74D3425Q1TPK)
(principal-construct? 0x1a 0xfa6bf38ed557fe417333710d6033e9419391a320 "foo") ;; Returns (ok ST3X6QWWETNBZWGBK6DRGTR1KX50S74D3425Q1TPK.foo)
(principal-construct? 0x16 0xfa6bf38ed557fe417333710d6033e9419391a320) ;; Returns (err (tuple (error_code u0) (value (some SP3X6QWWETNBZWGBK6DRGTR1KX50S74D3433WDGJY))))
(principal-construct? 0x16 0xfa6bf38ed557fe417333710d6033e9419391a320 "foo") ;; Returns (err (tuple (error_code u0) (value (some SP3X6QWWETNBZWGBK6DRGTR1KX50S74D3433WDGJY.foo))))
(principal-construct? 0x   0xfa6bf38ed557fe417333710d6033e9419391a320) ;; Returns (err (tuple (error_code u1) (value none)))
(principal-construct? 0x16 0xfa6bf38ed557fe417333710d6033e9419391a3)   ;; Returns (err (tuple (error_code u1) (value none)))
(principal-construct? 0x20 0xfa6bf38ed557fe417333710d6033e9419391a320) ;; Returns (err (tuple (error_code u1) (value none)))
(principal-construct? 0x1a 0xfa6bf38ed557fe417333710d6033e9419391a320 "") ;; Returns (err (tuple (error_code u2) (value none)))
(principal-construct? 0x1a 0xfa6bf38ed557fe417333710d6033e9419391a320 "foo[") ;; Returns (err (tuple (error_code u2) (value none)))

principal-destruct?

Introduced in: Clarity 2

input: principal

output: (response (tuple (hash-bytes (buff 20)) (name (optional (string-ascii 40))) (version (buff 1))) (tuple (hash-bytes (buff 20)) (name (optional (string-ascii 40))) (version (buff 1))))

signature: (principal-destruct? principal-address)

description:

principal-destruct? will decompose a principal into its component parts: either{version-byte, hash-bytes} for standard principals, or {version-byte, hash-bytes, name} for contract principals.

This method returns a Response that wraps this data as a tuple.

If the version byte of principal-address matches the network (see is-standard), then this method returns the pair as its ok value.

If the version byte of principal-address does not match the network, then this method returns the pair as its err value.

In both cases, the value itself is a tuple containing three fields: a version value as a (buff 1), a hash-bytes value as a (buff 20), and a name value as an (optional (string-ascii 40)). The name field will only be (some ..) if the principal is a contract principal.

Note: This function is only available starting with Stacks 2.1.

example:

(principal-destruct? 'STB44HYPYAT2BB2QE513NSP81HTMYWBJP02HPGK6) ;; Returns (ok (tuple (hash-bytes 0x164247d6f2b425ac5771423ae6c80c754f7172b0) (name none) (version 0x1a)))
(principal-destruct? 'STB44HYPYAT2BB2QE513NSP81HTMYWBJP02HPGK6.foo) ;; Returns (ok (tuple (hash-bytes 0x164247d6f2b425ac5771423ae6c80c754f7172b0) (name (some "foo")) (version 0x1a)))
(principal-destruct? 'SP3X6QWWETNBZWGBK6DRGTR1KX50S74D3433WDGJY) ;; Returns (err (tuple (hash-bytes 0xfa6bf38ed557fe417333710d6033e9419391a320) (name none) (version 0x16)))
(principal-destruct? 'SP3X6QWWETNBZWGBK6DRGTR1KX50S74D3433WDGJY.foo) ;; Returns (err (tuple (hash-bytes 0xfa6bf38ed557fe417333710d6033e9419391a320) (name (some "foo")) (version 0x16)))

principal-of?

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: (buff 33)

output: (response principal uint)

signature: (principal-of? public-key)

description:

The principal-of? function returns the principal derived from the provided public key. If the public-key is invalid, it will return the error code (err u1)..

Note: Before Stacks 2.1, this function has a bug, in that the principal returned would always be a testnet single-signature principal, even if the function were run on the mainnet. Starting with Stacks 2.1, this bug is fixed, so that this function will return a principal suited to the network it is called on. In particular, if this is called on the mainnet, it will return a single-signature mainnet principal.

example:

(principal-of? 0x03adb8de4bfb65db2cfd6120d55c6526ae9c52e675db7e47308636534ba7786110) ;; Returns (ok ST1AW6EKPGT61SQ9FNVDS17RKNWT8ZP582VF9HSCP)

print

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: A

output: A

signature: (print expr)

description:

The print function evaluates and returns its input expression. On Stacks Core nodes configured for development (as opposed to production mining nodes), this function prints the resulting value to STDOUT (standard output).

example:

(print (+ 1 2 3)) ;; Returns 6

replace-at?

Introduced in: Clarity 2

input: sequence_A, uint, A

output: (optional sequence_A)

signature: (replace-at? sequence index element)

description:

The replace-at? function takes in a sequence, an index, and an element, and returns a new sequence with the data at the index position replaced with the given element. The given element's type must match the type of the sequence, and must correspond to a single index of the input sequence. The return type on success is the same type as the input sequence.

If the provided index is out of bounds, this functions returns none.

example:

(replace-at? u"ab" u1 u"c") ;; Returns (some u"ac")
(replace-at? 0x00112233 u2 0x44) ;; Returns (some 0x00114433)
(replace-at? "abcd" u3 "e") ;; Returns (some "abce")
(replace-at? (list 1) u0 10) ;; Returns (some (10))
(replace-at? (list (list 1) (list 2)) u0 (list 33)) ;; Returns (some ( (33) (2)))
(replace-at? (list 1 2) u3 4) ;; Returns none

secp256k1-recover?

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: (buff 32), (buff 65)

output: (response (buff 33) uint)

signature: (secp256k1-recover? message-hash signature)

description:

The secp256k1-recover? function recovers the public key used to sign the message which sha256 is message-hash with the provided signature. If the signature does not match, it will return the error code (err u1).. If the signature is invalid, it will return the error code (err u2)..

to-consensus-buff?

Introduced in: Clarity 2

input: any

output: (optional buff)

signature: (to-consensus-buff? value)

description:

to-consensus-buff? is a special function that will serialize any Clarity value into a buffer, using the SIP-005 serialization of the Clarity value. Not all values can be serialized: some value's consensus serialization is too large to fit in a Clarity buffer (this is because of the type prefix in the consensus serialization).

If the value cannot fit as serialized into the maximum buffer size, this returns none, otherwise, it will be (some consensus-serialized-buffer). During type checking, the analyzed type of the result of this method will be the maximum possible consensus buffer length based on the inferred type of the supplied value.

example:

(to-consensus-buff? 1) ;; Returns (some 0x0000000000000000000000000000000001)
(to-consensus-buff? u1) ;; Returns (some 0x0100000000000000000000000000000001)
(to-consensus-buff? true) ;; Returns (some 0x03)
(to-consensus-buff? false) ;; Returns (some 0x04)
(to-consensus-buff? none) ;; Returns (some 0x09)
(to-consensus-buff? 'SZ2J6ZY48GV1EZ5V2V5RB9MP66SW86PYKKQ9H6DPR) ;; Returns (some 0x051fa46ff88886c2ef9762d970b4d2c63678835bd39d)
(to-consensus-buff? { abc: 3, def: 4 }) ;; Returns (some 0x0c00000002036162630000000000000000000000000000000003036465660000000000000000000000000000000004)

to-int

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: uint

output: int

signature: (to-int u)

description:

example:

(to-int u238) ;; Returns 238

to-uint

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: int

output: uint

signature: (to-uint i)

description:

try!

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: (optional A) | (response A B)

output: A

signature: (try! option-input)

description:

The try! function attempts to 'unpack' the first argument: if the argument is an option type, and the argument is a (some ...) option, try! returns the inner value of the option. If the argument is a response type, and the argument is an (ok ...) response, try! returns the inner value of the ok. If the supplied argument is either an (err ...) or a none value, try! returns either none or the (err ...) value from the current function and exits the current control-flow.

example:

(define-map names-map { name: (string-ascii 12) } { id: int })
(map-set names-map { name: "blockstack" } { id: 1337 })
(try! (map-get? names-map { name: "blockstack" })) ;; Returns (tuple (id 1337))
(define-private (checked-even (x int))  
  (if (is-eq (mod x 2) 0)      
    (ok x)      
    (err false)))
(define-private (double-if-even (x int))  
  (ok (* 2 (try! (checked-even x)))))
(double-if-even 10) ;; Returns (ok 20)
(double-if-even 3) ;; Returns (err false)

tuple

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: (key-name A), (key-name-2 B), ...

output: (tuple (key-name A) (key-name-2 B) ...)

signature: (tuple (key0 expr0) (key1 expr1) ...)

description:

The tuple special form constructs a typed tuple from the supplied key and expression pairs. A get function can use typed tuples as input to select specific values from a given tuple. Key names may not appear multiple times in the same tuple definition. Supplied expressions are evaluated and associated with the expressions' paired key name.

There is a shorthand using curly brackets of the form {key0: expr0, key1: expr, ...}

example:

(tuple (name "blockstack") 
(id 1337)) ;; using tuple    
{name: "blockstack", id: 1337} ;; using curly brackets

unwrap!

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: (optional A) | (response A B), C

output: A

signature: (unwrap! option-input thrown-value)

description:

The unwrap! function attempts to 'unpack' the first argument: if the argument is an option type, and the argument is a (some ...) option, unwrap! returns the inner value of the option. If the argument is a response type, and the argument is an (ok ...) response, unwrap! returns the inner value of the ok. If the supplied argument is either an (err ...) or a (none) value, unwrap! returns thrown-value from the current function and exits the current control-flow.

example:

(define-map names-map { name: (string-ascii 12) } { id: int })
(map-set names-map { name: "blockstack" } { id: 1337 })
(define-private (get-name-or-err (name (string-ascii 12)))  
  (let ( (raw-name (unwrap! (map-get? names-map { name: name }) (err 1))))       
  (ok raw-name)))

(get-name-or-err "non-existant") ;; Returns (err 1)

unwrap-err!

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: (response A B), C

output: B

signature: (unwrap-err! response-input thrown-value)

description:

The unwrap-err! function attempts to 'unpack' the first argument: if the argument is an (err ...) response, unwrap-err! returns the inner value of the err. If the supplied argument is an (ok ...) value, unwrap-err! returns thrown-value from the current function and exits the current control-flow.

example:

(unwrap-err! (err 1) false) ;; Returns 1

unwrap-err-panic

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: (response A B)

output: B

signature: (unwrap-err-panic response-input)

description:

The unwrap-err function attempts to 'unpack' the first argument: if the argument is an (err ...) response, unwrap returns the inner value of the err. If the supplied argument is an (ok ...) value, unwrap-err throws a runtime error, aborting any further processing of the current transaction.

example:

(unwrap-err-panic (err 1)) ;; Returns 1
(unwrap-err-panic (ok 1)) ;; Throws a runtime exception

unwrap-panic

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: (optional A) | (response A B)

output: A

signature: (unwrap-panic option-input)

description:

The unwrap function attempts to 'unpack' its argument: if the argument is an option type, and the argument is a (some ...) option, this function returns the inner value of the option. If the argument is a response type, and the argument is an (ok ...) response, it returns the inner value of the ok. If the supplied argument is either an (err ...) or a (none) value, unwrap throws a runtime error, aborting any further processing of the current transaction.

example:

(define-map names-map { name: (string-ascii 12) } { id: int })
(map-set names-map { name: "blockstack" } { id: 1337 })
(unwrap-panic (map-get? names-map { name: "blockstack" })) ;; Returns (tuple (id 1337))
(unwrap-panic (map-get? names-map { name: "non-existant" })) ;; Throws a runtime exception

use-trait

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: VarName, TraitIdentifier

output: Not Applicable

signature: (use-trait trait-alias trait-identifier)

description:

use-trait is used to bring a trait, defined in another contract, to the current contract. Subsequent references to an imported trait are signaled with the syntax <trait-alias>.

Traits import are defined with a name, used as an alias, and a trait identifier. Trait identifiers can either be using the sugared syntax (.token-a.token-trait), or be fully qualified ('SPAXYA5XS51713FDTQ8H94EJ4V579CXMTRNBZKSF.token-a.token-trait).

Like other kinds of definition statements, use-trait may only be used at the top level of a smart contract definition (i.e., you cannot put such a statement in the middle of a function body).

example:

(use-trait token-a-trait 'SPAXYA5XS51713FDTQ8H94EJ4V579CXMTRNBZKSF.token-a.token-trait)
(define-public (forward-get-balance (user principal) (contract <token-a-trait>))  
  (begin (ok 1)))

var-set

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: VarName, AnyType

output: bool

signature: (var-set var-name expr1)

Introduced in: Clarity 1

input: int, int | uint, uint | string-ascii, string-ascii | string-utf8, string-utf8 | buff, buff

output: int | uint

signature: (xor i1 i2)
