### Request

> **POST** `/v3/celo/smartcontract`

### Type signature

```php

    \Tatum\Model\CallCeloReadSmartContractMethod $call_celo_read_smart_contract_method
): \Tatum\Model\CallSmartContractMethod200Response
```

### Parameters

Name | Type | Description  | Notes
------------- | ------------- | ------------- | -------------
 **$call_celo_read_smart_contract_method** | [**\Tatum\Model\CallCeloReadSmartContractMethod**](../../Model/CallCeloReadSmartContractMethod) |  |

### Return type

[**\Tatum\Model\CallSmartContractMethod200Response**](../../Model/CallSmartContractMethod200Response)

### Description

> Invoke a method in a smart contract on Celo

**2 credits per API call**

Invoke a method in an existing smart contract on Celo.

You can call a read-only or write method.

* For **read-only** methods, the output of the invoked method is returned.
* For **write** methods, the ID of the associated transaction is returned.

**Troubleshooting a failed transaction** Tatum ensures that this API works against the blockchain (accesses the blockchain, finds the specified smart contract, and executes the specified ABI method with the provided parameters). However, because this API can be run against any smart contract on the blockchain, Tatum cannot in any way guarantee that the method itself will be executed successfully.

If you have issues with invoking the method, refer to the user documentation for this method, or contact the author of the smart contract.

For more information about invoking methods in smart contracts, see [this article](https://support.tatum.io/support/solutions/articles/80001052441) on our Support Portal.

**Signing a transaction** When invoking a method in a smart contract, you are charged a fee for the transaction, and you must sign the transaction with the private key of the blockchain address from which the fee will be deducted.

Providing the private key in the API is not a secure way of signing transactions, because the private key can be stolen or exposed. Your private keys should never leave your security perimeter. You should use the private keys only for testing a solution you are building on the **testnet** of a blockchain.

For signing transactions on the **mainnet**, we strongly recommend that you use the Tatum [Key Management System (KMS)](https://github.com/tatumio/tatum-kms) and provide the signature ID instead of the private key in the API. Alternatively, you can use the [Tatum JavaScript client](https://github.com/tatumio/tatum-js).

Tatum supports BIP44 HD wallets. It is very convenient and secure, since it can generate 2^31 addresses from 1 mnemonic phrase. Mnemonic phrase consists of 24 special words in defined order and can restore access to all generated addresses and private keys. Each address is identified by 3 main values:
* Private Key - your secret value, which should never be revealed
* Public Key - public address to be published
* Derivation index - index of generated address

Tatum follows BIP44 specification and generates for Celo wallet with derivation path m'/44'/52752'/0'/0\. More about BIP44 HD wallets can be found here - [https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0044.mediawiki](https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0044.mediawiki). Generate BIP44 compatible Celo wallet.
