What you can paste
- A whole extrinsic, as a node or block explorer shows it: a length prefix, a version byte, the signature part if signed, then the call.
- A bare call: pallet index, call index and arguments. This is what a multisig approves and what a wallet's "call data" shows.
What it shows
- For a signed extrinsic: the signer, the signature scheme, the nonce, the tip, the era (how many blocks it stays valid) and the metadata hash mode.
- The call's pallet and name, its index, and its hash. The call hash is what a multisig approval refers to.
- Each argument by its type: accounts as addresses, subnet ids as links, and amounts in τ or alpha according to the runtime's type. Unstake and move amounts are alpha of the subnet named in the call, not τ.
- Calls inside batch, proxy, multisig and sudo calls, as a tree.
Runtime versions
Call and pallet indices can change in a runtime upgrade. Bytes encoded for an older runtime may decode differently, or not at all, against the current one.
