Also, decrees must be placed only in the **zerochain**, even if they are applied in the **mainchain**. ## Request Structure `JSON object:` ```JSON { "method": "decree", "subcommand": ["anchor"], "arguments": { "net": "network_name", "chain": "chain_name", "datum": "datum_hash", "certs": "certs_list" }, "id": "1" } ``` `Parameters:` **`net (network_name)`** - name of the Cellframe Network. The list of networks can be found in the `<Config_dir> \ etc \ network` folder or received using - [[Node Command - NET LIST]] **`chain`** - the name of chain (`main` or `zerochain`) `optional` **`datum`** - hash of the decree datum **`certs`** - list of certificates to sign decree ### Curl Example `Request:` ```actionscript curl --unix-socket /opt/cellframe-node/var/run/node_cli -X POST http://localhost/connect -d ' { "method": "decree", "subcommand": ["anchor"], "arguments": { "net": "riemann", "datum": "0x3859BAADFF8AB6B528BD3E7E6D0BA8C090B1044172166E5F979617736C87B79B", "certs": "riemann.root.pvt.0" }, "id": "1" }' ``` `Response:` ```json { "type": 0, "result": "Datum 0x85E9BF159DB9997BE3E96F6D96390C3C735C4E075FBBBFC1A4D73D977BC6E569 is placed in datum pool", "id": 1 } ```
