Subscription Manager User Interface

The VRF v2 Subscription Manager is available at vrf.chain.link. The Subscription Manager lets you create a subscription and pre-pay for VRF v2 so you don't need to provide funding each time your application requests randomness. This guide walks you through the main sections of the UI.

Subscription components:

• Status: Indicates if the subscription is still active or not.
• ID: The unique subscription identifier. Approved consuming contracts use LINK from this subscription to pay for each randomness request.
• Admin: The account address that owns this subscription ID.
• Consumers: The number of consuming contracts that are approved to make VRF requests using this subscription.
• Fulfillment: The number of successful randomness requests that are already completed.
• Balance: The amount of LINK remaining to be used for requests that use this subscription.

Actions menu

Expand the Actions menu to display actions you can take for any subscription that you own:

• Fund subscription: Displays a field allowing you to fund your subscription from your connected wallet. Specify how much LINK you'd like to send to your subscription.
• Add email address: Displays a field allowing you to add an email address to your subscription. This is an optional field.
• Cancel subscription: Displays a field allowing you to specify the account address to receive the remaining balance. See the clean up instructions in the Get a Random Number guide to learn more.

Note: It is possible to fund subscriptions that you do not own. In that case, the Actions menu displays only the Fund subscription option.

Consumers

The Consumers section lists the contracts that are allowed to use your subscription to pay for requests.

• Address: The address of the consuming contract.
• Added: The time when the consumer was added to the subscription.
• Last fulfillment: The last time a VRF request was fulfilled for the consumer.
• Total spent: The total amount of LINK that has been used by the consuming contract.

You can use this section to add or remove consumers.

Pending

The Pending list appears if there are requests currently being processed.

• Time: The time when the pending VRF request was made.
• Consumer: The address of the consuming contract.
• Transaction hash: The transaction hash of the pending VRF request.
• Status: A timer that informs you when the pending VRF request will move to a failed status. Note: Pending requests fail after 24h.
• Max Cost: The estimated upper limit of the transaction cost in LINK based on the configuration. Learn more about the minimum subscription balance.
• Projected Balance: This indicates when the subscription is underfunded and how many LINK tokens are required to fund the subscription.
