Chainlink External Adapter for writing to Ethereum-based Blockchains

This external adapter allows you to configure an endpoint and private key to sign and send transactions to external Ethereum-based blockchains.

A typical workflow of a Chainlink job for this external adapter could look like:

• Retrieve a piece of data from some data source
• Parse the desired field from that data source's response
• Utilize this adapter to write the value to ChainB
• Parse the transaction object from ChainB for the transaction hash
• Write the transaction hash from ChainB to ChainA

Environment Variables

Required?	Name	Description	Options	Defaults to
✅	ETHEREUM_RPC_URL	RPC endpoint for that client. For example http://localhost:8545
	ETHEREUM_CHAIN_ID	The chain id to connect to		1
✅	PRIVATE_KEY	The private key of a funded account, to sign the transactions from.
✅	CONTRACT_ADDRESS	The contract address that the contract is deployed to.

Input Parameters

Required?	Name	Description	Options	Defaults to
✅	exAddr	The address for sending the transaction to.
	funcId	The setter function to call:	[0xc2b12a73(for bytes32), 0xa53b1c1e(for int256),0xd2282dc5(for uint256)]	0xd2282dc5
	dataType	Pass this only in case you need to encode the data(normally should be already encoded).	[bytes32, int256, uint256]
	result	The result of the previous adapter
	dataToSend	If specified, this value will be sent instead of result.
