Submitting the Transaction

Once the user has approved the token transfer, it’s time to construct the submit request to the Kima Transaction Backend.

Calculate the Submit Amount

Using the Kima Backend

Use the submitAmount property returned from the /submit/fees endpoint.

Using the Kima API

The submit amount should always be the amount the target addreess will receive. This means the submit amount needs to be adjusted based on whether the fees are deducted from the amount or not.

function getSubmitAmount(
  amount: bigint,
  fees: bigint,
  deductFee: boolean
): bigint {
  return deductFee ? amount - fees : amount;
}

Chain Names

See the short names in the Supported Blockchains section.

Get Transaction Id

The transaction Id will be needed to get the transaction status. The following code can be used to extract the Id from the submit response.

export function getTransactionId(submitResult: any): number {
  let txId = -1;
  if (result?.code !== 0) {
    return txId;
  }

  for (const event of result.events) {
    if (event.type === "transaction_requested") {
      for (const attr of event.attributes) {
        if (attr.key === "txId") {
          txId = attr.value;
        }
      }
    }
  }

  return txId;
}

Validation

If provided, the Kima Backend will use the url defined in the ENV var COMPLIANCE_URL to get the risk score for the origin and target user addresses. If the score is anything other than low it will respond with a 500 error.
