Cancel a standing offer placed by the acting account.
Note
OfferCancel names only a sequence number, so this cancels any offer the acting account owns — not just XRP-denominated ones. iou.cancelOffer is the same operation reached through the IOU vertical.
xrp.cancelOffer(
params: XrpCancelOfferParams,
options?: XrpWriteOptions,
): Promise<SubmissionResult<{ offerSequence: number }>>| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
offerSequence | number | Yes | The sequence number of the offer to cancel. |
Read a sequence number back with account.listOffers.
options is an optional second argument that sets the source account and overrides the fee.
| Option | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
from | AccountSelector | No | The account to act as — an r-address string, or an object { address } or { signer, account? }. Defaults to the primary signer's primary account. (For IOU operations, this is the issuer.) |
fee | FeeIntent | No | Fee override — a priority tier and/or a maxFeeDrops cap. |
idempotencyKey | string | No | A prior submission's idempotencyKey, to retry to the same intent instead of creating a duplicate. Auto-generated when omitted. |
Resolves to a SubmissionResult<{ offerSequence: number }>.
Every simpleXRPL write resolves to a SubmissionResult<T> — a union tagged by source, with the backend's raw response preserved verbatim. Its common fields are:
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
intent | T | The operation-specific output — see the operation's own return fields. |
source | 'xrpld' | 'custody' | 'palisade' | Which backend produced the result; discriminates response. |
response | TxResponse | custody record | Palisade record | The backend's raw response, preserved verbatim. |
txHash | string (optional) | The XRPL transaction hash, once the transaction is on-ledger. |
intentId | string (optional) | The custodian intent id, when the path produced one. Hold onto this to resume via client.intent. |
idempotencyKey | string (optional) | The UUIDv7 this submission carried. Pass it back as a later call's idempotencyKey to retry to the same intent rather than creating a duplicate. |
For XRP.cancelOffer, the intent echoes:
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
offerSequence | number | The sequence number of the offer that was canceled. |
Builds and submits a single OfferCancel transaction.
