@substrate/connect

Polkadot JS Provider for Smoldot Light Client

This is a prototype for using @polkadot/api with the smoldot WASM light client either by passing chainspecs or using the extension by predefined chains (e.g. westend, kusama).

Detector check existence of substrate extension. If it is installed and activated then smoldot clients of extension will be used. If not, a new smoldot client will start and sync with given chainspecs.

Usage

import { Detector }  from '@substrate/connect';
import substrateChainSpec from './substrateChainSpec.json';

const chainSpec =  JSON.stringify(substrateChainSpec);
const detect = new Detector('my cool unstoppable app');

const api = await detect.connect('westend', chainSpec());
