Example usage

Call smart contracts on remote chains

Call encoding

The callRemote function takes as arguments an array of Call structs. Call.data can be easily encoded with the abi.encodeCall function.
struct Call {
// supporting non EVM targets
bytes32 to;
uint256 value;
bytes data;
}
interface IUniswapV3Pool {
function swap(
address recipient,
bool zeroForOne,
int256 amountSpecified,
uint160 sqrtPriceLimitX96,
bytes calldata data
) external returns (int256 amount0, int256 amount1);
}
IUniswapV3Pool pool = IUniswapV3Pool(...);
Call swapCall = Call({
to: TypeCasts.addressToBytes32(address(pool)),
data: abi.encodeCall(pool.swap, (...));
value: 0,
});

Paying for Interchain Gas

Just like all Hyperlane messages that wish to have their messages delivered by a relayer, users must pay for interchain gas.
The various callRemote functions in the Accounts API each return the message ID as a bytes32. This message ID can then be used by the caller to pay for interchain gas.
When specifying the amount of gas, the caller must pay for a gas amount high enough to cover:
  1. 1.
    "Overhead" gas used by the Accounts API contract and ISM on the destination chain. See the below table to understand what this will be.
  2. 2.
    The gas used by the user-specified arbitrary call(s) that will be performed by the interchain account.

Overhead gas amounts

For the very first message sent by a sender on the origin chain to a new destination domain, a higher overhead destination gas cost is incurred. This is because the Interchain Account must be created on the destination chain, which involves a new contract being deployed. Subsequent messages to an already-created Interchain Account have a much cheaper overhead.
Interchain Account Already Exists?
Overhead Gas Amount
No - this is the very first message from a (uint32 origin, address owner) pair to the destination, and a new Interchain Account will be created
150,000
Yes
30,000

Gas payment example

function makeCall(uint256 gasAmount, Call[] memory calls) external payable {
// First, send the call
uint32 ethereumDomain = 1;
bytes32 messageId = IInterchainAccountRouter(0xabc..).callRemote(
ethereumDomain,
calls
);
// Then, pay for gas
// The mainnet DefaultIsmInterchainGasPaymaster
IInterchainGasPaymaster igp = IInterchainGasPaymaster(
0x56f52c0A1ddcD557285f7CBc782D3d83096CE1Cc
);
// Pay with the msg.value
igp.payForGas{ value: msg.value }(
// The ID of the message
messageId,
// Destination domain
ethereumDomain,
// The total gas amount. This should be the
// overhead gas amount + gas used by the call being made
gasAmount,
// Refund the msg.sender
msg.sender
);
}
