Sophia language offers standard library that consists of several namespaces. Some of them are already in the scope and do not need any actions to be used, while the others require some files to be included.
The out-of-the-box namespaces are:
The following ones need to be included as regular files with .aes suffix, for example
include "List.aes"
They are available without any explicit includes.
Address.to_str(a : address) : string
Base58 encoded string
Address.to_bytes(a : address) : bytes(32)
The binary representation of the address.
Address.is_contract(a : address) : bool
Is the address a contract
Address.is_oracle(a : address) : bool
Is the address a registered oracle
Address.is_payable(a : address) : bool
Can the address be spent to
Address.to_contract(a : address) : C
Cast address to contract type C (where C is a contract)
The old AENS namespace, kept in the compiler to be able to interact with contracts from before Ceres, compiled using aesophia compiler version 7.x and earlier. Used in AENSCompat when converting between old and new pointers.
datatype name = Name(address, Chain.ttl, map(string, AENS.pointee))
datatype pointee = AccountPt(address) | OraclePt(address)
| ContractPt(address) | ChannelPt(address)
Note: introduced in v8.0
The following functionality is available for interacting with the æternity
naming system (AENS). If owner is equal to Contract.address the signature
signature is ignored, and can be left out since it is a named argument.
Otherwise we need a signature to prove that we are allowed to do AENS
operations on behalf of owner. The signature is tied to a network
id,
i.e. the signature material should be prefixed by the network id.
datatype name = Name(address, Chain.ttl, map(string, AENSv2.pointee))
datatype pointee = AccountPt(address) | OraclePt(address)
| ContractPt(address) | ChannelPt(address) | DataPt(bytes())
Note: on-chain there is a maximum length enforced for DataPt, it is 1024 bytes.
Sophia itself does not check for this.
AENSv2.resolve(name : string, key : string) : option('a)
Name resolution. Here name should be a registered name and key one of the attributes
associated with this name (for instance "account_pubkey"). The return type
('a) must be resolved at compile time to an atomic type and the value is
type checked against this type at run time.
AENSv2.lookup(name : string) : option(AENSv2.name)
If name is an active name AENSv2.lookup returns a name object.
The three arguments to Name are owner, expiry and a map of the
pointees for the name. Note: the expiry of the name is always a fixed TTL.
For example:
let Some(AENSv2.Name(owner, FixedTTL(expiry), ptrs)) = AENSv2.lookup("example.chain")
Note: Changed to produce AENSv2.name in v8.0 (Ceres protocol upgrade).
AENSv2.preclaim(owner : address, commitment_hash : hash, <signature : signature>) : unit
The signature should be a
serialized structure containing network id, owner address, and
Contract.address.
From Ceres (i.e. FATE VM version 3) the
signature can also be generic
(allowing all, existing and future, names to be delegated with one
signature), i.e. containing network id, owner address, Contract.address.
AENSv2.claim(owner : address, name : string, salt : int, name_fee : int, <signature : signature>) : unit
The signature should be a
serialized structure containing network id, owner address, and
Contract.address. Using the private key of owner address for signing.
From Ceres (i.e. FATE VM version 3) the
signature can also be generic
(allowing all, existing and future, names to be delegated with one
signature), i.e. containing network id, owner address, name_hash, and
Contract.address.
AENSv2.transfer(owner : address, new_owner : address, name : string, <signature : signature>) : unit
Transfers name to the new owner.
The signature should be a
serialized structure containing network id, owner address, and
Contract.address. Using the private key of owner address for signing.
From Ceres (i.e. FATE VM version 3) the
signature can also be generic
(allowing all, existing and future, names to be delegated with one
signature), i.e. containing network id, owner address, name_hash, and
Contract.address.
AENSv2.revoke(owner : address, name : string, <signature : signature>) : unit
Revokes the name to extend the ownership time.
The signature should be a
serialized structure containing network id, owner address, and
Contract.address. Using the private key of owner address for signing.
From Ceres (i.e. FATE VM version 3) the
signature can also be generic
(allowing all, existing and future, names to be delegated with one
signature), i.e. containing network id, owner address, name_hash, and
Contract.address.
AENSv2.update(owner : address, name : string, expiry : option(Chain.ttl), client_ttl : option(int),
new_ptrs : option(map(string, AENSv2.pointee)), <signature : signature>) : unit
Updates the name. If the optional parameters are set to None that parameter
will not be updated, for example if None is passed as expiry the expiry
block of the name is not changed.
Note: Changed to consume AENSv2.pointee in v8.0 (Ceres protocol upgrade).
The signature should be a
serialized structure containing network id, owner address, and
Contract.address. Using the private key of owner address for signing.
From Ceres (i.e. FATE VM version 3) the

Bits.none : bits
A bit field with all bits cleared
Bits.all : bits
A bit field with all bits set
Bits.set(b : bits, i : int) : bits
Set bit i
Bits.clear(b : bits, i : int) : bits
Clear bit i
Bits.test(b : bits, i : int) : bool
Check if bit i is set
Bits.sum(b : bits) : int
Count the number of set bits
Bits.union(a : bits, b : bits) : bits
Bitwise disjunction
Bits.intersection(a : bits, b : bits) : bits
Bitwise conjunction
Bits.difference(a : bits, b : bits) : bits

Bytes.to_str(b : bytes(n)) : string
Returns the hexadecimal representation of the byte array
Bytes.concat : (a : bytes(m), b : bytes(n)) => bytes(m + n)

result can be used as a fixed size byte array, otherwise it has type bytes().
Bytes.split(a : bytes(m + n)) : bytes(m) * bytes(n)
Splits a byte array at given index
Bytes.split_any(a : bytes(), at : int) : option(bytes() * bytes(n))
Splits an arbitrary size byte array at index at. If at is positive split
from the beginning of the array, if at is negative, split abs(at) from the
end of the array. If the array is shorter than abs(at) then None is
returned.
Bytes.to_fixed_size(a : bytes()) : option(bytes(n))

not n bytes, None is returned.
Bytes.to_any_size(a : bytes(n)) : bytes()

Chain.balance(a : address) : int
The balance of account a.
Chain.block_hash(h : int) : option(bytes(32))
The hash of the block at height h. h has to be within 256 blocks from the
current height of the chain or else the function will return None.
NOTE: In FATE VM version 1 Chain.block_height was not considered an
allowed height. From FATE VM version 2 (IRIS) it will return the block hash of
the current generation.
Chain.block_height : int"
The height of the current block (i.e. the block in which the current call will be included).
Chain.bytecode_hash : 'c => option(hash)
Returns the hash of the contract's bytecode (or None if it is
nonexistent or deployed before FATE2). The type 'c must be
instantiated with a contract. The charged gas increases linearly to
the size of the serialized bytecode of the deployed contract.
Chain.create(value : int, ...) => 'c
Creates and deploys a new instance of a contract 'c. All of the
unnamed arguments will be passed to the init function. The charged
gas increases linearly with the size of the compiled child contract's
bytecode. The source_hash on-chain entry of the newly created
contract will be the SHA256 hash over concatenation of
- whole contract source code
- single null byte
- name of the child contract
The resulting contract's public key can be predicted and in case it happens to
have some funds before its creation, its balance will be increased by
the value parameter.
The value argument (default 0) is equivalent to the value in the contract
creation transaction – it sets the initial value of the newly created contract
charging the calling contract. Note that this won't be visible in Call.value
in the init call of the new contract. It will be included in
Contract.balance, however.
The type 'c must be instantiated with a contract.
Example usage:
payable contract Auction =
record state = {supply: int, name: string}
entrypoint init(supply, name) = {supply: supply, name: name}
stateful payable entrypoint buy(amount) =
require(Call.value == amount, "amount_value_mismatch")
...
stateful entrypoint sell(amount) =
require(amount >= 0, "negative_amount")
...
main contract Market =
type state = list(Auction)
entrypoint init() = []
stateful entrypoint new(name : string) =
let new_auction = Chain.create(0, name) : Auction
put(new_auction::state)
The typechecker must be certain about the created contract's type, so it is worth writing it explicitly as shown in the example.
Chain.clone : ( ref : 'c, gas : int, value : int, protected : bool, ...
) => if(protected) option('c) else 'c
Clones the contract under the mandatory named argument ref. That means a new
contract of the same bytecode and the same payable parameter shall be created.
NOTE: the state won't be copied and the contract will be initialized with
a regular call to the init function with the remaining unnamed arguments. The
resulting contract's public key can be predicted and in case it happens to have
some funds before its creation, its balance will be increased by the value
parameter. This operation is significantly cheaper than Chain.create as it
costs a fixed amount of gas.
The gas argument (default Call.gas_left) limits the gas supply for the
init call of the cloned contract.
The value argument (default 0) is equivalent to the value in the contract
creation transaction – it sets the initial value of the newly created contract
charging the calling contract. Note that this won't be visible in Call.value
in the init call of the new contract. It will be included in
Contract.balance, however.
The protected argument (default false) works identically as in remote calls.
If set to true it will change the return type to option('c) and will catch
all errors such as abort, out of gas and wrong arguments. Note that it can
only take a boolean literal, so other expressions such as variables will be
rejected by the compiler.
The type 'c must be instantiated with a contract.
Example usage:
payable contract interface Auction =
entrypoint init : (int, string) => void
stateful payable entrypoint buy : (int) => unit
stateful entrypoint sell : (int) => unit
main contract Market =
type state = list(Auction)
entrypoint init() = []
stateful entrypoint new_of(template : Auction, name : string) =
switch(Chain.clone(ref=template, protected=true, 0, name))
None => abort("Bad auction!")
Some(new_auction) =>
put(new_auction::state)
When cloning by an interface, init entrypoint declaration is required. It is a
good practice to set its return type to void in order to indicate that this
function is not supposed to be called and is state agnostic. Trivia: internal
implementation of the init function does not actually return state, but
calls put instead. Moreover, FATE prevents even handcrafted calls to init.
Chain.coinbase : address
The address of the account that mined the current block.
Chain.difficulty : int
The difficulty of the current block.
Chain.event(e : event) : unit
Emits the event. To use this function one needs to define the event type as a
datatype in the contract.
Chain.gas_limit : int
The gas limit of the current block.
Chain.network\_id : string
The network id of the chain.
Crypto.poseidon(x1 : int, x2 : int) : int
Hash two integers (in the scalar field of BLS12-381) to another integer (in the scalar field of BLS12-281). This is a ZK/SNARK-friendly hash function.
Chain.spend(to : address, amount : int) : unit
Spend amount tokens to to. Will fail (and abort the contract) if contract
doesn't have amount tokens to transfer, or, if to is not payable.
Chain.timestamp : int
The timestamp of the current block (unix time, milliseconds).
Char.to_int(c : char) : int
Returns the UTF-8 codepoint of a character
Char.from_int(i : int) : option(char)

Crypto.verify_sig(msg : bytes(), pubkey : address, sig : signature) : bool
Checks if the signature of msg was made using private key corresponding to
the pubkey.

Crypto.ecverify_secp256k1(msg : hash, addr : bytes(20), sig : bytes(65)) : bool
Verifies a signature for a msg against an Ethereum style address. Note that the
signature should be 65 bytes and include the recovery identifier byte V. The
expected organization of the signature is (V || R || S).
Crypto.ecrecover_secp256k1(msg : hash, sig : bytes(65)) : option(bytes(20))
Recovers the Ethereum style address from a msg hash and respective
ECDSA-signature. Note that the signature should be 65 bytes and include the
recovery identifier byte V. The expected organization of the signature is (V || R || S).
Crypto.verify_sig_secp256k1(msg : hash, pubkey : bytes(64), sig : bytes(64)) : bool
Verifies a standard 64-byte ECDSA signature (R || S).
Int.to_str(n : int) : string
Casts the integer to a string (in decimal representation).
Int.to_bytes(n : int, size : int) : bytes()
Casts the integer to a byte array with size bytes (big endian, truncating if
necessary not preserving signedness). I.e. if you try to squeeze -129 into a
single byte that will be indistinguishable from 127.
Map.lookup(k : 'k, m : map('k, 'v)) : option('v)
Returns the value under a key in given map as Some or None
if the key is not present
Map.lookup_default(k : 'k, m : map('k, 'v), v : 'v) : 'v
Returns the value under a key in given map or the
default value v if the key is not present
Map.member(k : 'k, m : map('k, 'v)) : bool

- The
acctis the address of the oracle to register (can be the same as the contract). - The signature should be a
serialized structure containing
network id,account address, andcontract address. Using the private key ofaccount addressfor signing. Proving you have the private key of the oracle to be. If the address is the same as the contractsignis ignored and can be left out entirely. - The

Functional combinators.
Func.id(x : 'a) : 'a
Identity function. Returns its argument.
Func.const(x : 'a) : 'b => 'a = (y) => x
Constant function constructor. Given x returns a function that returns x regardless of its argument.
Func.flip(f : ('a, 'b) => 'c) : ('b, 'a) => 'c
Switches order of arguments of arity 2 function.
Func.comp(f : 'b => 'c, g : 'a => 'b) : 'a => 'c
Function composition. comp(f, g)(x) == f(g(x)).
Func.pipe(f : 'a => 'b, g : 'b => 'c) : 'a => 'c
Flipped function composition. pipe(f, g)(x) == g(f(x)).
Func.rapply(x : 'a, f : 'a => 'b) : 'b
Reverse application. rapply(x, f) == f(x).
Func.recur(f : ('arg => 'res, 'arg) => 'res) : 'arg => 'res
The Z combinator. Allows performing local recursion and having anonymous recursive lambdas. To make function A => B recursive the user needs to transform it to take two arguments instead – one of type A => B which is going to work as a self-reference, and the other one of type A which is the original argument. Therefore, transformed function should have (A => B, A) => B signature.
Example usage:
let factorial = recur((fac, n) => if(n < 2) 1 else n * fac(n - 1))
If the function is going to take more than one argument it will need to be either tuplified or have curried out latter arguments.
Example (factorial with custom step):
// tuplified version
let factorial_t(n, step) =
let fac(rec, args) =
let (n, step) = args
if(n < 2) 1 else n * rec((n - step, step))
recur(fac)((n, step))
// curried version
let factorial_c(n, step) =
let fac(rec, n) = (step) =>
if(n < 2) 1 else n * rec(n - 1)(step)
recur(fac)(n)(step)
Func.iter(n : int, f : 'a => 'a) : 'a => 'a
nth composition of f with itself, for instance iter(3, f) is equivalent to (x) => f(f(f(x))).
Func.curry2(f : ('a, 'b) => 'c) : 'a => ('b => 'c)
Func.curry3(f : ('a, 'b, 'c) => 'd) : 'a => ('b => ('c => 'd))
Turns a function that takes n arguments into a curried function that takes
one argument and returns a function that waits for the rest in the same
manner. For instance curry2((a, b) => a + b)(1)(2) == 3.

Func.tuplify3(f : ('a, 'b, 'c) => 'd) : 'a * 'b * 'c => 'd
Turns a function that takes n arguments into a function that takes an n-tuple.
Func.untuplify2(f : 'a * 'b => 'c) : ('a, 'b) => 'c

Opposite to tuplify.
This namespace provides operations on rational numbers. A rational number is represented
as a fraction of two integers which are stored internally in the frac datatype.
The datatype consists of three constructors Neg/2, Zero/0 and Pos/2 which determine the
sign of the number. Both values stored in Neg and Pos need to be strictly positive
integers. However, when creating a frac you should never use the constructors explicitly.
Instead of that, always use provided functions like make_frac or from_int. This helps
keeping the internal representation well defined.
The described below functions take care of the normalization of the fractions –
they won't grow if it is unnecessary. Please note that the size of frac can be still
very big while the value is actually very close to a natural number – the division of
two extremely big prime numbers will be as big as both of them. To face this issue
the optimize function is provided. It will approximate the value of the
fraction to fit in the given error margin and to shrink its size as much as possible.
Important note: frac must not be compared using standard <-like operators.
The operator comparison is not possible to overload at this moment, nor the
language provides checkers to prevent unintended usage of them. Therefore the typechecker
will allow that and the results of such comparison will be unspecified.
You should use lt, geq, eq etc instead.
datatype frac = Pos(int, int) | Zero | Neg(int, int)
Internal representation of fractional numbers. First integer encodes the numerator and the second the denominator – both must be always positive, as the sign is being handled by the choice of the constructor.
Frac.make_frac(n : int, d : int) : frac

point where the error would exceed the loss value.
Frac.is_sane(f : frac) : bool
For debugging. If it ever returns false in a code that doesn't call frac constructors or
accept arbitrary fracs from the surface you should report it as a
bug
If you expect getting calls with malformed fracs in your contract, you should use
this function to verify the input.
