Methods

checkpoint

checkpoint(): Promise‹Checkpoint | CheckpointSchedule

Claim the Dividends corresponding to the signing Identity

note if currency is indivisible, the Identity's share will be rounded down to the nearest integer (after taxes are withheld)

note this method is of type NoArgsProcedureMethod, which means you can call claim.checkAuthorization on it to see whether the signing Account and Identity have the required roles and permissions to run it

Parameters:

NameType

opts?

Returns: Promise‹TransactionQueue‹void››


details

details(): Promise‹DividendDistributionDetails

Defined in src/api/entities/DividendDistribution/index.ts:274

getParticipant

getParticipant(args?: undefined | object): Promise‹DistributionParticipant | null›

Defined in src/api/entities/DividendDistribution/index.ts:360

Retrieve an Identity that is entitled to dividends in this Distribution (participant), the amount it is entitled to and whether it has been paid or not
