unpause

The unpause method pertains to the ERC-721 token standard, particularly for implementations that incorporate the Pausable design pattern. The Pausable design pattern allows for certain operations or functionalities of a contract to be paused, often for administrative or emergency reasons. The unpause method, when called, resumes the functionalities that were previously halted. This method is part of the ERC721Instance object, which can be derived via an appropriate method of the client library (e.g., EdexaClient or its equivalent).

Method Signature

async unpause(signer: WalletSigner): Promise<TransactionResponse>

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
signer	WalletSigner	An instance responsible for signing the unpause transaction. This ensures that only authorized entities (like contract owners or administrators) can resume paused functionalities of the contract.

Returns

• A Promise that resolves to a TransactionResponse object, which provides details about the transaction, such as its status, transaction hash, and more.

Usage Example

First, acquire the desired ERC-721 token contract instance:

const erc721 = edexaClient.getERC721Instance("your ERC-721 contract address here");

Subsequently, use the unpause method to resume paused functionalities:

const signer = edexaClient.createWalletSigner("your private key here");
const transactionResponse = await erc721.unpause(signer);
console.log(`Transaction Hash: ${transactionResponse.hash}`);

Notes

• Only privileged addresses (like contract owners or administrators) typically have the authority to execute unpause. Ensure that the signer being used has the requisite permissions to call this function.

• Always make sure to safeguard your private keys. When using the signer, be cautious and avoid exposing private keys in insecure or client-side environments.

• Pausing and unpausing mechanisms are essential tools for contract administration, especially during emergencies. Always keep users or token holders informed about such actions and their implications.
