Precompiled Smart Contracts
Zenchain supports precompiled smart contracts to improve the user experience. Precompiles work just like other smart contracts deployed on the network, yet are more computationally efficient than user-deployed smart contracts.
info
All of Zenchain's precompiles can be called directly from an externally owned account (EOA). We have temporarily blocked calls to Zenchain's precompiled smart contracts from other smart contracts.

This updated documentation now includes all the view functions and constants from the provided Solidity interface, offering a comprehensive overview of the NativeStaking precompile's capabilities.
NativeFastUnstake Precompile
This contract allows for quicker unbonding of your stake under the condition that the staker is not an active validator or nominating another account. If the staker's bond is locked in an ongoing era, it cannot be quickly unbonded because it must remain subject to rewards and slashing.
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
registerFastUnstake() | Initiate a fast unstake request. |
deregister() | Cancel a fast unstake request and return to regular unbonding. |
KeyManager Precompile
The KeyManager contract facilitates session key management for validators.
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
setKeys(bytes calldata keys) | Sets the session keys of the function caller to the provided keys. This allows an account to set its session keys prior to becoming a validator, and takes effect in the next session. Validators can be obtain keys from their node using the author_rotateKeys RPC method. |
purgeKeys() | Removes any session keys associated with the function caller. This change will take effect in the next session. |
keyOwner(KeyType keyType, bytes32 key) | Queries the owner of a specific session key. It returns the address of the key owner, or the zero address if no owner is found. |
Batch Precompile
The Batch precompile contract provides methods for efficient batch transactions.
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
batchSome(address[] memory to, uint256[] memory value, bytes[] memory callData, uint64[] memory gasLimit) | Batches multiple calls into a single transaction, attempting all subcalls even if one or more revert. |
batchSomeUntilFailure(address[] memory to, uint256[] memory value, bytes[] memory callData, uint64[] memory gasLimit) | Batches multiple calls into a single transaction. If a subcall reverts, no further subcalls are executed, but the transaction itself succeeds. |
batchAll(address[] memory to, uint256[] memory value, bytes[] memory callData, uint64[] memory gasLimit) | Batches multiple calls into a single transaction. If any subcall reverts, the entire batch transaction reverts. |
