Introduction
The Cluster Quorum Certificate (QC) and Distributed Key Generation (DKG) protocol smart contracts store a lot of different state, and the state is constantly changing. As an external party, there are two ways to keep track of these state changes. You can either use Cadence scripts to query the state of the contract at any given time, or you can monitor events that are emitted by the contracts to be notified of any important occurances.
Query Information with Scripts
These events can be queried using the Go or JavaScript SDKs to extract useful notifications and information about the state of these processes.
QC Scripts​
These scripts allow anyone to query information about the state of the QC contract.
Get Clusters​
To return a struct representing the information associated with a collector cluster, can use the Get Cluster (QC.03) script with the following argument:
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| clusterIndex | UInt16 | The index of the cluster to query |
Get QC Enabled​
To return a boolean representing if the QC is enabled, can use the Get QC Enabled (QC.04) script with no arguments.
Get Node Has Voted​
To return a boolean representing if a node has voted for the current QC, you can use the Get Node Has Voted (QC.05) script with the following argument:
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| nodeID | String | The node ID to check for |
Get Voting Complete​
To return a boolean representing if the voting for the QC phase is complete, can use the Get Voting Complete (QC.06) script with no arguments.
