Installation

NOTE: Using SLPJS has peer dependencies bitbox-sdk and bitcore-lib-cash, so these also need to be installed.

For node.js

npm install slpjs bitbox-sdk bitcore-lib-cash

For browser

<script src='https://unpkg.com/slpjs'></script>

NOTE: The latest version of slpjs package will be refactored to fix this problem.

Transaction Examples

The following code snippet examples can be copy/pasted directly into the node.js CLI. See the examples directory for example files written in TypeScript than can be run using tsc & node <filename>.

Wallets utilizing this library will want to write their own methods in place of the methods found in TransactionHelpers and BitboxNetwork classes.

NOTES:

• The BigNumber.js library is used to avoid precision issues with numbers having more than 15 significant digits.
• For the fastest validation performance all of the following transaction examples show how to use SLPJS using default SLP validation via rest.bitcoin.com. See the Local Validation section for instructions on how to validate SLP locally with your own full node.
• All SLPJS methods require token quantities to be expressed in the smallest possible unit of account for the token (i.e., token satoshis). This requires the token's precision to be used to calculate the quantity. For example, token having a decimal precision of 9 sending an amount of 1.01 tokens would need to first calculate the sending amount using 1.01 x 10^9 => 1010000000.

Get Balances

Get all balances for a given example. See also the TypeScript example.

GENESIS - Create a new token

GENESIS is the most simple type of SLP transaction since no special inputs are required. The following example shows how to create a fungible token. Also see the TypeScript examples for:

• Type 1 Genesis.
• NFT1 Parent Genesis.
• NFT1 Child Genesis.

MINT - Create additional tokens

Adding additional tokens for a token that already exists is possible if you are in control of the minting "baton". This minting baton is a special UTXO that gives authority to add to the token's circulating supply. Also see the TypeScript example.

SEND - Send BCH

This example demonstrates how to send BCH from a SLP enabled wallet. This API ensures the BCH transaction does not use SLP UTXOs which can cause token loss for the wallet.

SEND - Send tokens from a frozen address

This example shows how to freeze funds until a future time using OP_CLTV. Also see the TypeScript example. First, the address is calculated based on a user-defined public key and locktime. After the locktime has elapsed the user can proceed to spend those funds as demonstrated in this example:

SEND - Send tokens from 2-of-2 multisig (P2SH)

This example shows the general workflow for sending tokens from a P2SH multisig address. Also see the TypeScript example. Electron Cash SLP edition 3.4.13 is compatible with signing the partially signed transactions generated from this example by using the insert_input_values_for_EC_signers helper method.

Address Conversion

let Utils = require('slpjs').Utils;

let slpAddr = Utils.toSlpAddress("bitcoincash:qzat5lfxt86mtph2fdmp96stxdmmw8hchyxrcmuhqf");
console.log(slpAddr);
// simpleledger:qzat5lfxt86mtph2fdmp96stxdmmw8hchy2cnqfh7h

let cashAddr = Utils.toCashAddress(slpAddr);
console.log(cashAddr);
// bitcoincash:qzat5lfxt86mtph2fdmp96stxdmmw8hchyxrcmuhqf

Validation Examples

The following examples show three different ways how you can use this library to validate SLP transactions. The validation techniques include:

• Local Validator with a JSON RPC full node connection
• Local Validation with a remote full node (using rest.bitcoin.com)
• Remote Validation (using rest.bitcoin.com)

Local Validator with a JSON RPC full node connection

Validate SLP transaction locally with a local full node.

const BITBOXSDK = require('bitbox-sdk')
const BITBOX = new BITBOXSDK.BITBOX();
const slpjs = require('slpjs');
const logger = console;
const RpcClient = require('bitcoin-rpc-promise');
const connectionString = 'http://bitcoin:password@localhost:8332'
const rpc = new RpcClient(connectionString);
const slpValidator = new slpjs.LocalValidator(BITBOX, async (txids) => [ await rpc.getRawTransaction(txids[0]) ], logger)

// Result = false
//let txid = "903432f451049357d51c19eb529478621272e7572b05179f89bcb7be31e55aa7";

// Result = true
let txid = "4a3829d6da924a16bbc0cc43d5d62b40996648a0c8f74725c15ec56ee930d0fa";

let isValid;
(async function() {
  console.log("Validating:", txid);
  console.log("This may take a several seconds...");
  isValid = await slpValidator.isValidSlpTxid(txid);
  console.log("Final Result:", isValid);
})();

Local Validation with a remote full node (using rest.bitcoin.com)

Validate SLP transaction locally with a remote full node (i.e., rest.bitcoin.com).

const BITBOXSDK = require('bitbox-sdk')
const BITBOX = new BITBOXSDK.BITBOX({ restURL: 'https://rest.bitcoin.com/v2/' });
const slpjs = require('slpjs');
const logger = console;

const getRawTransactions = async function(txids) { return await BITBOX.RawTransactions.getRawTransaction(txids) }
const slpValidator = new slpjs.LocalValidator(BITBOX, getRawTransactions, logger);

// Result = false
//let txid = "903432f451049357d51c19eb529478621272e7572b05179f89bcb7be31e55aa7";

// Result = true
let txid = "4a3829d6da924a16bbc0cc43d5d62b40996648a0c8f74725c15ec56ee930d0fa";

let isValid;
(async function() {
  console.log("Validating:", txid);
  console.log("This may take a several seconds...");
  isValid = await slpValidator.isValidSlpTxid(txid);
  console.log("Final Result:", isValid);
})();

Remote Validation (using rest.bitcoin.com)

Validate SLP transaction using rest.bitcoin.com.

const BITBOXSDK = require('bitbox-sdk')
const BITBOX = new BITBOXSDK.BITBOX({ restURL: 'https://rest.bitcoin.com/v2/' });
const slpjs = require('slpjs');
const logger = console;

const slpValidator = new slpjs.BitboxNetwork(BITBOX, undefined, logger);

// Result = false
//let txid = "903432f451049357d51c19eb529478621272e7572b05179f89bcb7be31e55aa7";

// Result = true
let txid = "ab1550876e217d68bfac55e50b4a82535bb20842f976bdfbc07cca19e8028f13";

let isValid;
(async function() {
  console.log("Validating:", txid);
  console.log("This may take a several seconds...");
  isValid = await slpValidator.isValidSlpTxid(txid);
  console.log("Final Result:", isValid);
})();
