Prerequisite
Unlike on EVM, simply using a contract address is not enough to identify FTs on FVM. The unique identifier for FT is composed of:
A.16-byte-address.name. For example:
A.b19436aae4d94622.FiatTokenis USDC's unique identifier on mainnet.- Also
ceWETHandceWBTC(Celer-Bridged wETH & wBTC from ETH) are deployed under the same address but with different identifiers:A.231cc0dbbcffc4b7.ceWETH, andA.231cc0dbbcffc4b7.ceWBTC.
FT on FVM conforms to the
FungibleToken interface. One specific FT is represented as a Vault resource and stored directly under the holder' account storage area.Unlike FT on EVM, one cannot 'airdrop' FT to arbitrary address without the receiver account first initializing the FT resource once (using
FT.createEmptyVault() method). - Example transaction:
init_usdc_vault.cdc
import FungibleToken from 0xf233dcee88fe0abe // mainnet
import FiatToken from 0xb19436aae4d94622 // mainnet
transaction() {
prepare(signer: AuthAccount) {
let vaultPath = /storage/USDCVault
let receiverPath = /public/USDCVaultReceiver
let balancePath = /public/USDCVaultBalance
if signer.borrow<&FungibleToken.Vault>(from: vaultPath) == nil {
signer.save(<- FiatToken.createEmptyVault(), to: vaultPath)
signer.link<&FiatToken.Vault{FungibleToken.Receiver}>(receiverPath, target: vaultPath)
signer.link<&FiatToken.Vault{FungibleToken.Balance}>(balancePath, target: vaultPath)
}
}
}
The initialization only needs to be done once per holder account for one specific FT. After that any further action like: deposit / withdraw / etc. can be performed flawlessly.
*Note:
FlowToken is also FT but it's the only exception that it doesn't need initialization - as the init step has been performed when the account is created.
