Pointer Precompile

Address: 0x000000000000000000000000000000000000100b

Bridge identities/assets between CW and EVM.

Functions

Function	Description
addCW20Pointer `function addCW20Pointer(string cwAddr) payable returns (address)`	Registers a CW20 contract so EVM contracts can interact via ERC-20 semantics.
addCW721Pointer `function addCW721Pointer(string cwAddr) payable returns (address)`	Creates an ERC-721 pointer for the target CW721 contract.
addCW1155Pointer `function addCW1155Pointer(string cwAddr) payable returns (address)`	Exposes CW1155 tokens through an ERC-1155-compatible pointer.
addNativePointer `function addNativePointer(string token) payable returns (address)`	Maps a native denom (e.g., "usei") to an ERC-20 pointer contract.

Full Solidity Interface


interface IPointerPrecompile {
  function addCW20Pointer(string memory cwAddr) external payable returns (address pointer);
  function addCW721Pointer(string memory cwAddr) external payable returns (address pointer);
  function addCW1155Pointer(string memory cwAddr) external payable returns (address pointer);
  function addNativePointer(string memory token) external payable returns (address pointer);
}

⚠️

Pointer creation is a state-changing transaction and requires a fee in usei; rely on PointerView for lookups when possible.

Example


import { ethers } from 'ethers';
 
const POINTER = '0x000000000000000000000000000000000000100b';
const ABI = ['function addCW20Pointer(string cwAddr) payable returns (address)', 'function addNativePointer(string token) payable returns (address)'];
 
const provider = new ethers.BrowserProvider(window.ethereum);
await provider.send('eth_requestAccounts', []);
const pointer = new ethers.Contract(POINTER, ABI, await provider.getSigner());
 
// Register CW20 pointer (fee charged in usei)
await pointer.addCW20Pointer('sei1cw20...', { value: ethers.parseEther('0.01') });
 
// Register native denom pointer
await pointer.addNativePointer('usei', { value: ethers.parseEther('0.01') });

Notes

Pointer creation requires governance-approved fees; check release notes for current pricing
Pointer contracts emit synthetic events tagged synthetic=true (v6.1.11+)
Ensure CW contracts implement expected interfaces; invalid targets revert during registration

Troubleshooting

Error	Cause	Fix
`pointer exists`	Pointer mapping already registered for this contract/denom	Use PointerView to fetch existing pointer; re-registration not allowed.
`invalid denom`	Native denom string malformed or empty	Pass the exact denom identifier (e.g., usei, uatom).
`Estimation fails`	Wallet lacks EVM/Sei association	Run sei_associate RPC or use Addr precompile before calling Pointer.
