StarkGate functions and events

L1 functions and events

deposit

Description

Deposits the specified amount of an ERC-20 token to the L1 StarkGate bridge contract.

The deposit function does the following:

• Transfers the funds from the caller’s account to the Starknet bridge contract
• Emits the Deposit event with the sender’s address on L1, the recipient’s address on L2, and the amount

depositCancelRequest

Description

Sends a request to StarkGate to cancel a deposit.

You can send a cancellation request if the funds you transfer from L1 to L2 do not appear on L2 within a reasonable amount of time.

In order to guard against an attack on Starknet, it takes approximately five days to cancel a deposit. When StarkGate receives the cancellation request, a counter begins. When exactly five days have passed, and the funds still do not appear on L2, you can reclaim the deposit using the depositReclaim function.

The depositReclaim function can only be used once for any deposit cancellation request.

depositWithMessage

Description

Similar to deposit, with a message attached.

With this function, a deposit transaction can trigger subsequent actions. For example, you can deposit funds and include a message to transfer those funds to another address. depositWithMessage lets you execute these two separate transactions with a single user action.

After depositing to another recipient, the L1 handler in token_bridge.cairo calls the on_receive function in the contract of the recipient.

If on_receive returns true, then the on_receive function succeeded. If it returns false, or if it doesn’t return any value because the on_receive function is not implemented in the recipient contract, the operation fails and the transaction is reverted.

enrollTokenBridge

Description

Creates a Starknet bridge for the specified ERC-20 token contract address in the multi-token bridge contracts and adds the token to the StarkGate Registry.

Does not work for any ERC-20 token bridge’s contract address that is already in the registry.

Enrolling a new bridge creates a new ERC-20 contract on L2. You can see the class hash for this contract using get_erc20_class_hash.

Enrolling a new bridge does not add it to the StarkGate GUI. You can use a block explorer to use the newly created bridge.

Returns the current class hash of the implementation used by the ERC-20 contract. Use the class hash as the type when deploying the ERC-20 contract on L2.

on_receive

Description

An interface to an implementation of the on_receive function that you must provide in your L2 contract in order to enable the depositWithMessage function to succeed.

The L2 contract that receives the message that is sent with the depositWithMessage function must implement a callback function named on_receive.

Upon completion, the depositWithMessage function triggers a call to the on_receive callback function on the receiving L2 contract. The on_receive function receives the deposit message as input, and it must return true for the deposit to succeed.

If on_receive returns false, or if the receiving contract does not implement on_receive, the depositWithMessage L1 handler fails, and the user can only recover their funds using the depositWithMessageCancelRequest function.

Parameters

l2_token: ContractAddress	The L2 address of the ERC-20 token contract.
amount: uint256	The amount deposited.
depositor: EthAddress	L1 address of the deposit sender.
message: Span<felt252>	The message that was sent with the depositWithMessage function.

Returns

true	The on_receive function completed successfully.
false	The on_receive function did not complete successfully. The transaction is reverted.
No value	If the recipients’s smart contract does not implement the on_receive function, the call fails to execute, and the transaction is reverted.

Function definition

on_receive in receiver_interface.cairo.
