@paraspell/sdk

SDK for handling XCM asset transfers across Polkadot and Kusama ecosystems.

Currently supporting 53 Polkadot & Kusama nodes list [here]

SDK documentation [here]

Installation

Install dependencies

pnpm | npm install || yarn add @polkadot/api @polkadot/types @polkadot/api-base @polkadot/apps-config @polkadot/util

Install SDK

pnpm | npm install || yarn add @paraspell/sdk

Importing package to your project:

Builder pattern:

import { Builder } from '@paraspell/sdk'

Other patterns:

// ESM
import * as paraspell from '@paraspell/sdk'

// CommonJS
const paraspell = require('@paraspell/sdk')

Implementation

NOTES:
- If you wish to transfer from Parachain that uses long IDs for example Moonbeam you have to add the character 'n' the end of currencyID. Eg: .currency(42259045809535163221576417993425387648n) will mean you transfer xcDOT.
- You can now use custom ParachainIDs if you wish to test in TestNet. Just add parachainID as an additional parameter eg: .to('Basilisk', 2948)
- You can now add optional parameter useKeepAlive which will ensure, that you send more than existential deposit.
- Since v5 you can fully customize all multilocations (address, currency and destination). Instead of string parameter simply pass object with multilocation instead for more information refer to the following PR https://github.com/paraspell/xcm-tools/pull/199.
- Fee asset is now an optional parameter.

Builder pattern:

Transfer assets from Parachain to Parachain

await Builder(/*node api - optional*/)
      .from(NODE)
      .to(NODE /*,customParaId - optional*/ | Multilocation object /*Only works for PolkadotXCM pallet*/) 
      .currency(CurrencyString| | CurrencyID | Multilocation object)
      /*.feeAsset(feeAsset) - Optional (Fee asset select id)*/
      .amount(amount)
      .address(address | Multilocation object /*If you are sending through xTokens, you need to pass the destination and address multilocation in one object (x2)*/)
      .build()
/*
EXAMPLE:
await Builder()
      .from('Basilisk')
      .to('Robonomics')
      .currency('XRT')
      .amount(1000000000000)
      .address('4FCUYBMe2sbq5KosN22emsPUydS8XUwZhJ6VUZesmouGu6qd')
      .build()
*/

Transfer assets from the Relay chain to Parachain

await Builder(/*node api - optional*/)
      .to(NODE/*,customParaId - optional*/ | Multilocation object)
      .amount(amount)
      .address(address | Multilocation object)
      .build()
/*
EXAMPLE:
await Builder()
      .to('AssetHubPolkadot')
      .amount(1000000000000)
      .address('141NGS2jjZca5Ss2Nysth2stJ6rimcnufCNHnh5ExSsftn7U')
      .build()
*/

Transfer assets from Parachain to Relay chain

await Builder(/*node api - optional*/)
      .from(NODE)
      /*.feeAsset(feeAsset) - Optional (Fee asset select id)*/
      .amount(amount)
      .address(address | Multilocation object)
      .build()
/*
EXAMPLE:
await Builder()
      .from('AssetHubPolkadot')
      .amount(1000000000000)
      .address('141NGS2jjZca5Ss2Nysth2stJ6rimcnufCNHnh5ExSsftn7U')
      .build()
*/

Use keepAlive option

NOTE: Custom multilocations are not available when keepALive check is used

await Builder(/*node api - optional*/)
      .from(NODE)
      .amount(amount)
      .address(address)
      .useKeepAlive(destinationParaAPI)
      .build()

Close HRMP channels

Builder(api)
.from(NODE)
.closeChannel()
.inbound(inbound)
.outbound(outbound)
.build()

Open HRMP channels

Builder(api)
.from(NODE)
.to(NODE)
.openChannel()
.maxSize(maxSize)
.maxMessageSize(maxMsgSize)
.build()'

Function pattern:

NOTES:
- Since version v5 there was a breaking change introduced. You now pass single object with properties instead of parameters
- Since v5 you can fully customize all multilocations (address, currency and destination). Instead of string parameter simply pass object with multilocation instead for more information refer to the following PR https://github.com/paraspell/xcm-tools/pull/199.
- Custom multilocations are not available when keepALive check is used

Asset queries:

// Retrieve assets object from assets.json for particular node including information about native and foreign assets
paraspell.assets.getAssetsObject(node: TNode)

// Retrieve foreign assetId for a particular node and asset symbol
paraspell.assets.getAssetId(node: TNode, symbol: string)

// Retrieve the symbol of the relay chain for a particular node. Either "DOT" or "KSM"
paraspell.assets.getRelayChainSymbol(node: TNode)

// Retrieve string array of native assets symbols for particular node
paraspell.assets.getNativeAssets(node: TNode)

// Retrieve object array of foreign assets for a particular node. Each object has a symbol and assetId property
paraspell.assets.getOtherAssets(node: TNode)

// Retrieve string array of all assets symbols. (native and foreign assets are merged into a single array)
paraspell.assets.getAllAssetsSymbols(node: TNode)

// Check if a node supports a particular asset. (Both native and foreign assets are searched). Returns boolean
paraspell.assets.hasSupportForAsset(node: TNode, symbol: string)

// Get decimals for specific asset
paraspell.assets.getAssetDecimals(node: TNode, symbol: string)

// Get specific TNode from nodeID
paraspell.assets.getTNode(nodeID: number)

// Import all compatible nodes as constant

Parachain XCM Pallet queries

//Retrieve default pallet for specific Parachain 
getDefaultPallet(node: TNode)

// Returns an array of supported pallets for a specific Parachain
getSupportedPallets(node: TNode)

// Print all pallets that are currently supported
console.log(SUPPORTED_PALLETS)

Existential deposit queries
