Use Between Chains

Use LiquidAccounts across chains

To enable the usage of LiquidAccounts across chains, a “cross-chain host” must be deployed on each supported EOSIO chain. This “cross-chain host” will be configured to use the LiquidAccounts that have been registered on the “host chain” contract. To convert a LiquidAccount contract to a “cross-chain host” add the following defines to the contract:

#define LIQUIDX
#define USE_ADVANCED_IPFS
#define VACCOUNTS_CROSSCHAIN

and remove (regaccount) from the CONTRACT_END

Optional:

#define VACCOUNTS_CROSSCHAIN_NONCE_VARIANCE 5 // defaults to 5 if not defined

The VACCOUNTS_CROSSCHAIN_NONCE_VARIANCE is the difference of allowed variance from the calculated nonce at run time. For example, if the calculated nonce is 10 and the variance is 5, then if a transactions is attempted with a nonce of 4 or less, the transaction will be rejected. The variance’s purpose is to allow leeway in the event that multiple accounts are using the sidechain’s contract at the same time. This allows the nonce to be outdated between the time the client pulls the nonce and pushes the transaction, potentially a few blocks in the future.

No changes are required to the LiquidAccount contract on the “host chain”. All registration of new accounts must occur on the “host chain”. The final step is to use the xvinit action with the parameters chainid, hostchain, and hostcode. When the host chain is the EOSIO mainnet, hostchain will be mainnet. If another chain is used as the host chain, use the chain name as specified in the LiquidX chain mapping. The hostcode is the account name of the LiquidAccounts contract.
