Parameters
callback
function
(optional) Optional callback, which returns an error object as the first parameter and the result as the second.
Return Value
Promise returns number
number
Node's Voting Power.
Example
Provides my vote information in the epoch. Each vote is stored in a block when the user's node generates a new block. After current epoch ends, this information is cleared.
Parameters
callback
function
(optional) Optional callback, which returns an error object as the first parameter and the result as the second.
Return Value
Promise returns Array
Array
Node's Voting status in the epoch.
Example
Provides the initial chain configuration. Because it just stores the initial configuration, if there were changes in the governance made by voting, the result of chainConfig will differ from the current states. To see the current information, please use itemsAt.
Parameters
callback
function
(optional) Optional callback, which returns an error object as the first parameter and the result as the second.
Return Value
Promise returns object
object
The initial chain configuration
Example
Provides the address of the node that a user is using. It is derived from the nodekey and used to sign consensus messages. And the value of "governingnode" has to be one of validator's node address.
Parameters
callback
function
(optional) Optional callback, which returns an error object as the first parameter and the result as the second.
Return Value
Promise returns string
string
The address of a node.
Example
Returns governance items at a specific block. It is the result of previous voting of the block and used as configuration for chain at the given block number.
Parameters
blockNumberOrTag
number | string
(optional) A block number, or the string latest or earliest. If omitted, latest will be used.
callback
function
(optional) Optional callback, which returns an error object as the first parameter and the result as the second.
Return Value
Promise returns object
object
The governance items.

Parameters
callback
function
(optional) Optional callback, which returns an error object as the first parameter and the result as the second.
Return Value
Promise returns object
object
Currently pending changes composed of keys and values.
Example
