Invoke Script Transaction

Invoke Script transaction invokes the callable function of the dApp. Learn more about dApp and script invocation

In addition to the dApp address, callable function name, and arguments, the Invoke Script transaction can contain a payment to dApp.

Up to two payments can be contained in an Invoke Script transaction starting from node version 1.2.0, after the activation of feature #15 “Ride V4, VRF, Protobuf, Failed transactions”.

Fee

The minimum fee for an Invoke Script transaction is calculated as follows:

Fee = 0.005 + B + 0.004 × C + 0.004 × D + K

• If the transaction sender is a dApp or a smart account, then B = 0.004, otherwise B = 0.
• The Invoke Script transaction can contain payments. C is the number of payments in smart assets.
• The Invoke Script transaction can result in the token transfer, reissue or burning. D is the number of smart assets among these actions.
• The Invoke Script transaction can result in the token issue. K is the number of issued assets that are not NFT.

See also the example in the Transaction Fee article.

The sender can specify a transaction fee nominated in a sponsored asset instead of WAVES, see the Sponsored Fee article.
