The dispatch origin for this call is root.

WARNING: This call is DEPRECATED! Use force_set_balance instead.

Attributes¶

Name	Type
who	`AccountIdLookupOf<T>`
new_free	`T::Balance`
old_reserved	`T::Balance`

Python¶

call = substrate.compose_call(
    'Balances', 'set_balance_deprecated', {

    'old_reserved': 'u128',
    'who': {
        'Address20': '[u8; 20]',
        'Address32': '[u8; 32]',
        'Id': 'AccountId',
        'Index': (),
        'Raw': 'Bytes',
    },
}
)

transfer¶

Alias for transfer_allow_death, provided only for name-wise compatibility.

WARNING: DEPRECATED! Will be released in approximately 3 months.

Attributes¶

Name	Type
dest	`AccountIdLookupOf<T>`
value	`T::Balance`

Python¶

call = substrate.compose_call(
    'Balances', 'transfer', {
    'dest': {

        'Address32': '[u8; 32]',
        'Id': 'AccountId',
        'Index': (),
        'Raw': 'Bytes',
    },
    'value': 'u128',
}
)

transfer_all¶

Transfer the entire transferable balance from the caller account.

NOTE: This function only attempts to transfer transferable balances. This means that any locked, reserved, or existential deposits (when keep_alive is true), will not be transferred by this function. To ensure that this function results in a killed account, you might need to prepare the account by removing any reference counters, storage deposits, etc...

The dispatch origin of this call must be Signed.

dest: The recipient of the transfer.
keep_alive: A boolean to determine if the transfer_all operation should send all of the funds the account has, causing the sender account to be killed (false), or transfer everything except at least the existential deposit, which will guarantee to keep the sender account alive (true).

Attributes¶

Name	Type
dest	`AccountIdLookupOf<T>`
keep_alive	`bool`

Python¶

call = substrate.compose_call(
    'Balances', 'transfer_all', {
    'dest': {
        'Address20': '[u8; 20]',
        'Address32': '[u8; 32]',
        'Id': 'AccountId',
        'Index': (),
        'Raw': 'Bytes',
    },
    'keep_alive': 'bool',
}
)

transfer_allow_death¶

Transfer some liquid free balance to another account.

transfer_allow_death will set the FreeBalance of the sender and receiver. If the sender's account is below the existential deposit as a result of the transfer, the account will be reaped.

The dispatch origin for this call must be Signed by the transactor.

Attributes¶

Name	Type
dest	`AccountIdLookupOf<T>`
value	`T::Balance`

Python¶

call = substrate.compose_call(
    'Balances', 'transfer_allow_death', {
    'dest': {
        'Address20': '[u8; 20]',
        'Address32': '[u8; 32]',
        'Id': 'AccountId',
        'Index': (),
        'Raw': 'Bytes',
    },
    'value': 'u128',
}
)

transfer_keep_alive¶

Same as the [transfer_allow_death] call, but with a check that the transfer will not kill the origin account.

99% of the time you want [transfer_allow_death] instead.

Attributes¶

Name	Type
dest	`AccountIdLookupOf<T>`
value	`T::Balance`

Python¶

call = substrate.compose_call(
    'Balances', 'transfer_keep_alive', {
    'dest': {
        'Address20': '[u8; 20]',
        'Address32': '[u8; 32]',
        'Id': 'AccountId',
        'Index': (),
        'Raw': 'Bytes',
    },
    'value': 'u128',
}
)

upgrade_accounts¶

Upgrade a specified account.

origin: Must be Signed.
who: The account to be upgraded.

This will waive the transaction fee if at least all but 10% of the accounts needed to be upgraded. (We let some not have to be upgraded just in order to allow for the possibililty of churn).

Attributes¶

Name	Type
who	`Vec<T::AccountId>`

Python¶

call = substrate.compose_call(
    'Balances', 'upgrade_accounts', {'who': ['AccountId']}
)

Storage functions¶

Account¶

The Balances pallet example of storing the balance of an account.

# Example

nocompile impl pallet_balances::Config for Runtime { type AccountStore = StorageMapShim<Self::Account<Runtime>, frame_system::Provider<Runtime>, AccountId, Self::AccountData<Balance>> }

You can also store the balance of an account in the System pallet.

# Example

nocompile impl pallet_balances::Config for Runtime { type AccountStore = System }

But this comes with tradeoffs, storing account balances in the system pallet stores frame_system data alongside the account data contrary to storing account balances in the Balances pallet, which uses a StorageMap to store balances data only. NOTE: This is only used in the case that this pallet is used to store balances.

Python¶

result = substrate.query(
    'Balances', 'Account', ['AccountId']
)

Return value¶

{'flags': 'u128', 'free': 'u128', 'frozen': 'u128', 'reserved': 'u128'}

Freezes¶

Freeze locks on account balances.

Python¶

result = substrate.query(
    'Balances', 'Freezes', ['AccountId']
)

Return value¶

[{'amount': 'u128', 'id': ()}]

Holds¶

Holds on account balances.

Python¶

result = substrate.query(
    'Balances', 'Holds', ['AccountId']
)

Return value¶

[{'amount': 'u128', 'id': ()}]

InactiveIssuance¶

The total units of outstanding deactivated balance in the system.

Python¶

result = substrate.query(
    'Balances', 'InactiveIssuance', []
)

Return value¶

'u128'

Locks¶

Any liquidity locks on some account balances. NOTE: Should only be accessed when setting, changing and freeing a lock.

Python¶

result = substrate.query(
    'Balances', 'Locks', ['AccountId']
)

Return value¶

[{'amount': 'u128', 'id': '[u8; 8]', 'reasons': ('Fee', 'Misc', 'All')}]

Reserves¶

Named reserves on some account balances.

Python¶

result = substrate.query(
    'Balances', 'Reserves', ['AccountId']
)

Return value¶

[{'amount': 'u128', 'id': '[u8; 8]'}]

TotalIssuance¶

The total units issued in the system.

Python¶

result = substrate.query(
    'Balances', 'TotalIssuance', []
)

Return value¶

'u128'

Constants¶

ExistentialDeposit¶

The minimum amount required to keep an account open. MUST BE GREATER THAN ZERO!

If you really need it to be zero, you can enable the feature insecure_zero_ed for this pallet. However, you do so at your own risk: this will open up a major DoS vector. In case you have multiple sources of provider references, you may also get unexpected behaviour if you set this to zero.

Bottom line: Do yourself a favour and make it at least one!

Value¶

1000000000

Python¶

constant = substrate.get_constant('Balances', 'ExistentialDeposit')

MaxFreezes¶

The maximum number of individual freeze locks that can exist on an account at any time.

Value¶

Python¶

constant = substrate.get_constant('Balances', 'MaxFreezes')

MaxHolds¶

The maximum number of holds that can exist on an account at any time.

Value¶

Python¶

constant = substrate.get_constant('Balances', 'MaxHolds')

MaxLocks¶

The maximum number of locks that should exist on an account. Not strictly enforced, but used for weight estimation.

Value¶

Python¶

constant = substrate.get_constant('Balances', 'MaxLocks')

MaxReserves¶

The maximum number of named reserves that can exist on an account.

Value¶

Python¶

constant = substrate.get_constant('Balances', 'MaxReserves')

Value too low to create account due to existential deposit.

ExistingVestingSchedule¶

A vesting schedule already exists for this account.

Expendability¶

Transfer/payment would kill account.

TooManyHolds¶

Number of holds exceed MaxHolds.

Number of named reserves exceed MaxReserves.

VestingBalance¶

Vesting balance too high to send value.
