initiateWithdrawal

Initiates a withdrawal on an L2 to the L1.

Internally performs a contract write to the initiateWithdrawal function on the Optimism L2ToL1MessagePasser predeploy contract.

Usage

example.ts

import { base } from 'viem/chains'
import { account, walletClientL2 } from './config'
 
const hash = await walletClientL2.initiateWithdrawal({
  account,
  request: {
    gas: 21_000n,
    to: '0x70997970c51812dc3a010c7d01b50e0d17dc79c8',
    value: parseEther('1')
  },
})

Building Parameters

The buildInitiateWithdrawal Action builds & prepares the initiate withdrawal transaction parameters.

We can use the resulting args to initiate the withdrawal transaction on the L2.

example.ts

import { account, publicClientL1, walletClientL2 } from './config'
 
const args = await publicClientL1.buildInitiateWithdrawal({ 
  account, 
  to: '0x70997970c51812dc3a010c7d01b50e0d17dc79c8', 
  value: parseEther('1'), 
}) 
 
const hash = await walletClientL2.initiateWithdrawal(args)

See more on the buildInitiateWithdrawal Action.

Account Hoisting

If you do not wish to pass an account to every proveWithdrawal, you can also hoist the Account on the Wallet Client (see config.ts).

example.ts

import { account, publicClientL1, walletClientL2 } from './config'
 
const args = await publicClientL1.buildInitiateWithdrawal({ 
  account, 
  to: '0x70997970c51812dc3a010c7d01b50e0d17dc79c8', 
  value: parseEther('1'), 
}) 
 
const hash = await walletClientL2.initiateWithdrawal(args)
