Chainslib

This TypeScript library is designed to provide a unified interface for working with multiple blockchain networks, allowing developers to interact with various blockchain chains seamlessly. It supports a wide range of features and blockchain networks, making it a versatile tool for blockchain development.

Features

This library offers the following key features:

Hardware Wallet Support: It provides integration with Ledger and Trezor hardware wallets for enhanced security in blockchain transactions.

Wallet Types: You can work with both seed phrase and private key wallets for managing your blockchain assets.

Standardized RPC Interface: The library offers a consistent RPC interface for fetching blockchain information and broadcasting transactions across different supported chains.

Supported Chains

This library currently supports the following blockchain networks:

• Bitcoin
• Bitcoin Cash
• Litecoin
• Dogecoin
• Ethereum
• BNB Smart Chain
• Avalanche
• Polygon
• Optimism
• Arbitrum
• Fantom
• Other EVM-compatible chains
• Cosmos
• Osmosis
• Juno
• Other IBC-Compatible Chains
• THORChain
• BNB Beacon Chain
• Solana

Installation

To use this library in your TypeScript project, you can install it via npm or yarn:

npm install @xdefi/chains
# or
yarn add @xdefi/chains

Usage

Here's a basic example of how to use this library in your TypeScript application:

1. Import Required Modules

import { BitcoinProvider } from './chain.provider';
import LedgerSigner from './ledger.signer';
import { MsgBody, Msg } from '../msg';

2. Initialize Bitcoin Provider

Initialize the Bitcoin provider with the necessary configurations:

const provider = new BitcoinProvider(new IndexerDataSource(BITCOIN_MANIFEST));

3. Create Transaction Input

Define the transaction input data, including the sender (from), recipient (to), and the amount to send.

const txInput: MsgBody = {
  from: 'FROM ADDRESS',
  to: 'TO ADDRESS',
  amount: 0.000001,
};

4. Create a Transaction Message

Create a transaction message using the provider:

const message: Msg = provider.createMsg(txInput);

5. Sign the Transaction with Ledger

Use the LedgerSigner to sign the transaction. Provide the message and the derivation path:

const transport = await Transport.create();
const signer = new LedgerSigner(transport);
const derivationPath = "m/84'/0'/0'/0/0";

await signer.sign(message, derivationPath);
// finally close
transport.close();

6. Broadcast the Transaction

Now that the transaction is signed, you can broadcast it to the Bitcoin network using the BitcoinProvider. This step assumes that the transaction is already signed within the message.

await provider.broadcast([message]);

Retrieving a Transaction

1. Get Transaction Hash

If you have a transaction hash, you can retrieve the transaction details. Use the getTransaction method of the BitcoinProvider:

const txHash = 'TX HAS';
const txData = await provider.getTransaction(txHash);

The txData object will contain transaction details, including the transaction hash.
