Sending Hardcoded Amounts of Ether from a Solidity Smart Contract in Remix IDE
Introduction
When developing blockchain-based applications, it is essential to monitor the flow of Ether (ETH) between different wallets and contracts. In this article, we will look at how to send hardcoded amounts of Ether from a Solidity smart contract using Remix IDE.
Prerequisites
- Make sure you have a Remix project set up with a Solidity smart contract.
- Make sure you have entered the hardcoded wallet addresses and Ether amounts into the contract.
1. Step 2: Define the contract functions
In the Remix IDE, open the contract file (SolidityContract.sol) and add two new functions:
pragma solidity ^0.8.0;
import “
contract MySmartContract {
// Encoded wallet address
public address from Wallet;
// Encoded amount of Ether
public uint256 toEther;
function sendEther() public {
// Send the encoded amount of Ether to the recipient’s wallet
fromWallet.receive Ether(toEther);
}
function setFromWallet(address _fromWallet) public {
fromWallet = _fromWallet;
}
function setToEther(uint256 _toEther) public {
toEther = _toEther;
}
}
Step 2: Set up the Remix contract
In the Remix IDE, go to “Settings” > “Contract Settings”. Enable the “Remix Input” option on the “Contract” tab.
Step 3: Enter the wallet addresses and hardcoded Ether amounts
Open the contract file in the Remix IDE. The “Input” section should now be populated with two fields:
- “From Wallet”.
To Ether
These values represent the hardcoded wallet address and the amount of Ether to send.
Example Use Case
Let’s say you have a contract that allows users to deposit Ether from one wallet (wallet1) and then transfer it to another wallet (wallet2). You can define two roles in the contract:
pragma solidity ^0.8.0;
import “
contract MySmartContract {
// Encrypted wallet addresses
public address from Wallet1;
public address to Wallet2;
function depositEther() public {
// Send the encrypted amount of Ether to the recipient’s wallet
from Wallet1.receive Ether(toWallet2);
}
function drawEther() public {
// Remove the hardcoded amount of Ether from the sender's wallet
toWallet2.send Ether(from Wallet1);
}
}
Step 4: Test and deploy the contract
Test the contract by depositing Ether into wallet1 using the Remix input field. Then, transfer the deposited Ether to wallet2. The transaction should be visible in the Transaction History section of the Contract tab.
And that’s it! By following the steps below, you have successfully sent a hardcoded amount of Ether from a Solidity smart contract in the Remix IDE without relying on external input fields.
