Open Assets Reference Implementation

The openassets Python package is the reference implementation of the colored coins Open Assets Protocol.

Open Assets is a protocol for issuing and transferring custom digital tokens in a secure way on the Bitcoin blockchain (or any compatible blockchain).

Requirements

The following items are required for using the openassets package:

Installation

Linux, OSX

Using pip:

$ pip install openassets

Or manually from source, assuming all required modules are installed on your system:

$ python ./setup.py install

Windows

  1. Make sure you have Python 3.4 and pip installed
  2. Open the command prompt: Start Menu > Accessories > Command Prompt
  3. Run the following command:

    pip install openassets

Overview

The openassets package contains two submodules: the protocol submodule and the transactions submodule.

protocol submodule

The protocol submodule implements the specification in order to interpret Bitcoin transactions as Open Assets transactions.

Usage

This example requires a Bitcoin Core instance running with RPC enabled and the -txindex=1 parameter:

import asyncio
import bitcoin.rpc
import openassets.protocol

@asyncio.coroutine
def main():
    bitcoin.SelectParams('testnet')

    # Create a RPC client for Bitcoin Core
    rpc_client = bitcoin.rpc.Proxy('http://user:pass@localhost:18332')
    # OutputCache implements the interface required for an output cache provider, but does not perform any caching
    cache = openassets.protocol.OutputCache()
    # The transaction provider is a function returning a transaction given its hash
    transaction_provider = asyncio.coroutine(rpc_client.getrawtransaction)
    # Instantiate the coloring engine
    coloring_engine = openassets.protocol.ColoringEngine(transaction_provider, cache, loop)

    transaction_hash = bitcoin.core.lx('864cbcb4b5e083a98aaeaf94443815025bdfb0d35a6fd00817034018b6752ff5')
    output_index = 1
    colored_output = yield from coloring_engine.get_output(transaction_hash, output_index)

    print(colored_output)

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(main())

transactions submodule

The transactions submodule contains functions that can be used to build unsigned Open Assets transactions for various purposes.

Usage

This example requires a Bitcoin Core instance running with RPC enabled and the -txindex=1 parameter:

import asyncio
import bitcoin.rpc
import openassets.protocol
import openassets.transactions

@asyncio.coroutine
def main():
    bitcoin.SelectParams('testnet')

    # Create a RPC client for Bitcoin Core
    rpc_client = bitcoin.rpc.Proxy('http://user:pass@localhost:18332')

    # Output script corresponding to address myLPe3P8SE2DyqRwABRwqezxdZxhkYxXYu (in testnet)
    output_script = bitcoin.core.x('76a914c372d85bc2c54384dbc2cb9ef365eb7f15d4a9b688ac')

    # Initialize the coloring engine
    transaction_provider = asyncio.coroutine(rpc_client.getrawtransaction)
    engine = openassets.protocol.ColoringEngine(transaction_provider, openassets.protocol.OutputCache(), loop)

    # Obtain the unspent output for the local wallet
    unspent_outputs = []
    for output in rpc_client.listunspent():
        if output['scriptPubKey'] == output_script:
            unspent_outputs.append(openassets.transactions.SpendableOutput(
                bitcoin.core.COutPoint(output['outpoint'].hash, output['outpoint'].n),
                (yield from engine.get_output(output['outpoint'].hash, output['outpoint'].n))
            ))

    # The minimum valid value for an output is set to 600 satoshis
    builder = openassets.transactions.TransactionBuilder(600)

    # Create the issuance parameters
    issuance_parameters = openassets.transactions.TransferParameters(
        unspent_outputs=unspent_outputs,    # Unspent outputs the coins are issued from
        to_script=output_script,            # The issued coins are sent back to the same address
        change_script=output_script,        # The bitcoin change is sent back to the same address
        amount=1500)                        # Issue 1,500 units of the asset

    # Create the issuance transaction
    # The metadata is left empty and the fees are set to 0.0001 BTC
    transaction = builder.issue(issuance_parameters, metadata=b'', fees=10000)

    print(transaction)

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(main())
