Transaction offline

Question

how could I set up a transaction without the help of the cli? such as how do wallet hardware do it?

Answer 1

The cli is just a wrapper for the JSON-RPC API, so I assume you're asking how to do this without the MultiChain API at all? If so the answer is that MultiChain uses bitcoin's transaction format, plus extensions (for permissions, assets, streams, etc...) that are documented in detail here:

You should be able to use any software library designed for bitcoin to build MultiChain transactions.

My idea is to have a device (like an arduino, for example) storing my private key, it can create and sign the transaction, I just get the hex and send it through the CLI

Answer 2

You will definitely need an application to create, sign and send transactions. cli is just a tool to run apis related to these things. As, multichain team mentioned you can anytime run a library function or also make api calls from some application to set up transactions.
