Factory Methods:
TempoTransaction.create(**kwargs)- Create with type coercionTempoTransaction.from_dict(d)- Parse from camelCase/snake_case dict
Create Parameters:
chain_id(int) - Chain ID (default: 1)gas_limit(int) - Gas limit (default: 21_000)max_fee_per_gas(int) - Max fee per gas in weimax_priority_fee_per_gas(int) - Max priority fee per gas in weinonce(int) - Transaction noncenonce_key(int) - Nonce key for parallel executionvalid_before(int, optional) - Expiration timestampvalid_after(int, optional) - Activation timestampfee_token(str/bytes, optional) - Fee token addressawaiting_fee_payer(bool) - Mark for fee payer signaturecalls(tuple[Call, ...]) - Tuple of Call objectsaccess_list(tuple[AccessListItem, ...]) - EIP-2930 access list
Methods:
sign(private_key, for_fee_payer=False)- Sign transaction (returns new instance)encode()- Encode to bytes for transmissionhash()- Get transaction hashget_signing_hash(for_fee_payer=False)- Get hash to signvrs()- Get v, r, s valuesvalidate()- Validate transaction fields
Single call in a batch transaction.
Call.create(to, value=0, data=b"")- Create with type coercion
EIP-2930 access list entry.
AccessListItem.create(address, storage_keys=())- Create with type coercion
Typed call builders for Tempo precompiles and tokens:
TIP20— TIP-20 token operations (transfer, approve, mint, burn, permit)StablecoinDEX— Stablecoin DEX operations (place, cancel, swap, withdraw)AccountKeychain— Access key management (authorize, revoke, spending limits, queries)FeeAMM— Fee AMM liquidity operations (mint, burn, rebalance_swap)FeeManager— Fee manager operations (set fee token, distribute fees); inheritsFeeAMMNonce— Nonce precompile queries (get_nonce)
