Create Miles

In order to consume miles, it is first required that the contract's admin account provides your user account with some new miles. To do so, it is necessary to invoke the add entry point of the smart contract.

In a real production situation, miles are created by the DApp's off-chain server which creates miles according to user activity.

In this DApp example, the off-chain server is not provided and the creation operation is done manually by invoking the smart contract's add entry point. To do so, it is necessary to import the contract's admin account in the Thanos wallet as explained below.

Import the smart contract's admin account

The process to is two-steps:

1. download the admin faucet file (instructions)
2. import it in wallet (instructions)

It is suggested that you name that account "Admin" for ease of use.

Provide you with new miles

add entry point

The addentry point to create miles and associate to a user address is presented in this section.

It takes 4 parameters:

Parameter	Value	Description
ow	USER_ADDRESS	address of the created miles' owner
newmile_id	USER_ADDRESS + "_0"	a unique for the created miles
newmile_amount	20	number of miles to create
newmile_expiration	TOMORROW	date beyond which miles are expired, for example '2021-06-28'

where:

• USER_ADDRESS is replaced by the DApp user account to receive the miles
• TOMORROW is replaced by a date in the future, for example tomorrow

This entry point may only be called by the contract's admin account. If you have not registered the admin address in the wallet, go to the section above.
