Execute commands

Now we complete the task - sending some tokens that have been delegated to a key

Running commands
As mentioned in the introduction, now we want to:
1.As the admin key (A)†, set an allowance for a key (B)
2.As the key with an allowance, send tokens from key (B) to key (C)
3.See tokens arrive at key (C)
4.See allowance decrease for key (B)
† this is the key that you used to instantiate, and set as an admin. If you are running a validator in the testnet, then it is probably your self-delegate key.
1. Add allowance for key B
Using node, you can again encode the following arguments:
{
  increase_allowance: {
    spender: '<key-B>',
    amount: {
      denom: "usource",
      amount: "2000000"
    }
  }
}
Then, as the admin key (A), increase key (B)'s allowance:
sourced tx wasm execute <contract-addr> \
  '{"increase_allowance":{"spender":"<key-B>","amount":{"denom":"usource","amount":"2000000"}}}' \
  --from <admin-key-A> \
  --chain-id <chain-id> \
  --gas-prices 0.1usource --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.3 -b block
If you query its allowance, you should see a value of 2000000:
sourced query wasm contract-state smart <contract-addr> '{"allowance":{"spender":"<key-B>"}}' --chain-id <chain-id>
Should return:
data:
  balance:
  - amount: "2000000"
    denom: usource
  expires:
    never: {}
2. Send tokens from key B to key C
First, query the balance of another key, that we did not allocate any tokens to (C):
sourced q bank balances <key-C>
Let's say it already has a balance of 500usource - the command will return:
balances:
- amount: "500"
  denom: usource
pagination:
  next_key: null
  total: "0"
Then, we again need to encode some arguments to JSON for the send:
{
  execute: {
    msgs: [{
      bank: {
        send: {
          to_address: "<key-C>",
          amount: [{
            denom: "usource",
            amount: "500"
          }]
        }
      }
    }]
  }
};
Once we have the JSON, we can shape an execute command:
sourced tx wasm execute <contract-addr> \
  '{"execute":{"msgs":[{"bank":{"send":{"to_address":"<key-C>","amount":[{"denom":"usource","amount":"500"}]}}}]}}' \
  --from <key-B> \
  --chain-id <chain-id> \
  --gas-prices 0.1usource --gas auto --gas-adjustment 1.3 -b block
Note that the --from flag is now signing this from the key (B) that the admin key (A) gave a token balance to. This CW1 Subkeys contract will only work with the native token of the chain, in this case usource.
3. Check balance of key C
If we query balance again:
sourced q bank balances <key-C>
We expect to see the balance incremented by 500usource:
balances:
- amount: "1000"
  denom: usource
pagination:
  next_key: null
  total: "0"
4. See allowance decrease for key B
Now, if we query the allowance for key B, we should see it has decreased by 500usource:
sourced query wasm contract-state smart <contract-addr> '{"allowance":{"spender":"<key-B>"}}' --chain-id <chain-id>
data:
  balance:
  - amount: "1999500"
    denom: usource
  expires:
    never: {}
We're done!
Play around some more with increasing and decreasing allowances, or even adding expiries to allowances, to get a better feel for how this works.
