Lets suppose here are user A and smartcontract B and C(sort of regular dapp). A has no token but little ETH for gas, but B has enough tokens(Erc20).

  1. A send TX to B
  2. B send call to C
  3. C receive tokens in B and give service to A. In addition, C check balance of msg.sender while execution.

In this case, which one should I use delegatecall or just call to make this logic feasible?

If B wants to send the tokens to C he must call the original token contract's transfer function to issue the send. After that transfer has succeeded (it will be done synchronously within the same transaction) B can send some dummy message to C to notify him of the transfer - otherwise C will not know that he has received tokens since it's impossible for contracts to be notified of token transfers.

B can simply call some function in C such as iHaveSentYouTokens and C can then verify his token balance from the same token contract and perform the service for A.

  • Is it delegatecall? or just call?

  • Just a normal function call

  • Hi @Lauri, is there any requirement for dapp to be adopted as contract C in this case?

  • Sorry, I don't understand the question. If you mean whether C has to be a contract then yes, it has to be a contract, otherwise it can't perform anything automatically.

  • C is contract. I am asking can any contract be adopted as contract C. or, is there any requirement here.
