Is there any way to get the current timestamp in sway? Context: I want to prevent a price update with a future timestamp in my contract so I want to check with the current timestamp, is that possible? Otherwise, what would the alternative suggestion be in this case? ---

Hi @cctdaniel can you take a look at this example here and see if you can piggyback some code [sway-applications/timelock at 32ad29b742bc0cd786e79908ad3578d5b508c2c7 ยท FuelLabs/sway-applications (github.com)](https://github.com/FuelLabs/sway-applications/tree/32ad29b742bc0cd786e79908ad3578d5b508c2c7/timelock) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/fuel/original/2X/3/3f2c51bc631d892112fa8d2b528b215ebe2c06c0.png) There are other examples that make use of timestamp in sway examples repo like the [name-registry](https://github.com/FuelLabs/sway-applications/tree/32ad29b742bc0cd786e79908ad3578d5b508c2c7/name-registry) searching the sway-applications repo is a good place to see how many other things can be achieved [FuelLabs/sway-applications: Swaypplications (github.com)](https://github.com/FuelLabs/sway-applications) hope that helps
