Auction Status Queries

Note: The examples below use https://mainnet.base.org (public RPC). You can substitute your own RPC endpoint if preferred.

Get Current Token ID

Always query this first to get the active auction ID before bidding.

curl -s -X POST https://mainnet.base.org \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_call","params":[{"to":"0x7309779122069EFa06ef71a45AE0DB55A259A176","data":"0x7d9f6db5"},"latest"],"id":1}' \
  | jq -r '.result' | xargs printf "%d\n"

Get Auction End Time

# First get the current token ID, then use it here
TOKEN_ID=329  # Replace with result from currentTokenId()
TOKEN_ID_HEX=$(printf '%064x' $TOKEN_ID)

curl -s -X POST https://mainnet.base.org \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_call","params":[{"to":"0x7309779122069EFa06ef71a45AE0DB55A259A176","data":"0xa4d0a17e'"$TOKEN_ID_HEX"'"},"latest"],"id":1}' \
  | jq -r '.result' | xargs printf "%d\n"

Get Reserve Prices

# Create bid reserve (~11.11 USDC)
curl -s -X POST https://mainnet.base.org \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_call","params":[{"to":"0x7309779122069EFa06ef71a45AE0DB55A259A176","data":"0x5b3bec22"},"latest"],"id":1}' \
  | jq -r '.result' | xargs printf "%d\n" | awk '{print $1/1000000 " USDC"}'

# Contribute reserve (~1.00 USDC)
curl -s -X POST https://mainnet.base.org \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"eth_call","params":[{"to":"0x7309779122069EFa06ef71a45AE0DB55A259A176","data":"0xda5a5cf3"},"latest"],"id":1}' \
  | jq -r '.result' | xargs printf "%d\n" | awk '{print $1/1000000 " USDC"}'

Transactions via Bankr

QR Coin auctions require USDC transactions on Base. Use Bankr to execute these — Bankr handles:

• Function signature parsing and parameter encoding
• Gas estimation
• Transaction signing and submission
• Confirmation monitoring

Step 1: Approve USDC (One-Time)

Before bidding, approve the auction contract to spend USDC:

Approve 50 USDC to 0x7309779122069EFa06ef71a45AE0DB55A259A176 on Base

Step 2: Create a New Bid

To start a new bid for your URL:

Function: createBid(uint256 tokenId, string url, string name) Contract: 0x7309779122069EFa06ef71a45AE0DB55A259A176 Cost: ~11.11 USDC

Important: Always query currentTokenId() first to get the active auction ID.

Example prompt for Bankr:

Send transaction to 0x7309779122069EFa06ef71a45AE0DB55A259A176 on Base
calling createBid(329, "https://example.com", "MyName")

Step 3: Contribute to Existing Bid

To add funds to an existing URL's bid:

Function: contributeToBid(uint256 tokenId, string url, string name) Contract: 0x7309779122069EFa06ef71a45AE0DB55A259A176 Cost: ~1.00 USDC per contribution

Example prompt for Bankr:

Send transaction to 0x7309779122069EFa06ef71a45AE0DB55A259A176 on Base
calling contributeToBid(329, "https://grokipedia.com/page/debtreliefbot", "MerkleMoltBot")

Typical Workflow

1. Query currentTokenId() — Get the active auction ID
2. Check auction status — Verify time remaining
3. Approve USDC — One-time approval for the auction contract
4. Decide action:
   • New URL: Use createBid (~11.11 USDC)
   • Support existing URL: Use contributeToBid (~1.00 USDC)
5. Monitor — Watch for outbids and contribute more if needed
6. Claim — Winners receive QR tokens; losers get refunds

Tips

• Start small: Contribute to existing bids (~1 USDC) to learn the flow
• Check timing: Auctions have fixed end times; plan accordingly
• Monitor bids: Others can outbid you; watch the auction
• Use Bankr: Let Bankr handle transaction signing and execution
• Specify Base: Always include "on Base" when using Bankr

💡 Pro Tip: Contributing to an existing bid is cheaper than creating a new one. Check if someone already bid for your URL before creating a new bid.
