2025 Report: Destructive Malware in Open Source Packages
Destructive malware is rising across open source registries, using delays and kill switches to wipe code, break builds, and disrupt CI/CD.
@coolwallet/eth
Advanced tools
Typescript library with support for the integration of Ethereum for third party application, include the functionalities of generation of addresses and signed transactions.
npm install @coolwallet/eth
import ETH from '@coolwallet/eth'
import { crypto } from '@coolwallet/core';
import { createTransport } from '@coolwallet/transport-web-ble';
const eth = new ETH();
const transport = await createTransport();
const { privateKey: appPrivateKey } = crypto.key.generateKeyPair();
const appId = 'appId that had been registered by wallet';
const addressIndex = 0;
const address = await eth.getAddress(transport, appPrivateKey, appId, addressIndex);
const transaction = {
nonce: "0x21d",
gasPrice: "0x59682f00",
gasLimit: "0x5208",
to: "0x81bb32e4A7e4d0500d11A52F3a5F60c9A6Ef126C",
value: "0x5af3107a4000",
data: "0x00",
chainId: 1
}
const signTxData = {
transport,
appPrivateKey,
appId,
transaction,
addressIndex
}
const normalTx = await eth.signTransaction(signTxData);
const signTxData = {
transport,
appPrivateKey,
appId,
transaction,
addressIndex
}
const erc20Transaction = {
nonce: "0x85",
gasPrice: "0x23a427985a",
gasLimit: "0x72c2",
to: "0xe41d2489571d322189246dafa5ebde1f4699f498",
value: "0x0",
data: "0x00",
chainId: 1,
option: {
symbol: "USDT",
unit: "6"
}
}
const erc20SignTxData = {
transport,
appPrivateKey,
appId,
transaction: erc20Transaction,
addressIndex
}
const erc20Tx = await eth.signERC20Transaction(erc20SignTxData);
The address generated is compatible to BIP44 with account and change set to 0, which means calling getAddress with addressIndex = i will get the address of folllowing BIP44 path:
m/44'/60'/0'/0/{i}
In the design of current hardware, we only support path m/44'/60'/0'/0/{i} for speed optimization. This might change in the future and we will then open a more general interface to deal with custom path.
