Smartpy restrict entrypoint for originated addresses (KT1)

Question

I would like to know if the entrypoint of my smart contract is called from an implicit(tz1) or an originated address(KT1). How can i do the check in smartpy?

Looking at the Smartpy documentation, it's said that the address type sp.TAddress is "An address of a contract or implicit account". Further you can't convert the address to string because Michelson doesn't allow type casting.

Am i missing something? How can i differentiate between the address types?

Answer 1

If you are specifically interested in the address of your caller there a simpler solution than the one proposed by @rodrigo-quelhas: sp.sender is an implicit account if and only if it is exactly sp.source.

Answer 2

You can use: https://github.com/RomarQ/tezos-sc-utils

Usage:

Utils = sp.io.import_script_from_url("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RomarQ/tezos-sc-utils/main/smartpy/utils.py");

# And then inside the entrypoint

Utils.Address.is_kt1(sp.address("tz28QJHLyqvaY2rXAoFZTbxrXeD88NA8wscC")) # False
Utils.Address.is_kt1(sp.address("KT18hYjnko76SBVv6TaCT4kU6B32mJk6JWLZ")) # True

Explanation:

• Addresses of implicit accounts are strictly less than addresses of originated accounts;
• Addresses of the same type are compared lexicographically;
• KT1XvNYseNDJJ6Kw27qhSEDF8ys8JhDopzfG is the highest KT1 address;
• KT18amZmM5W7qDWVt2pH6uj7sCEd3kbzLrHT is the lowest KT1 address;
• Any address in between (including) those two addresses is an originated account;
