Torus.js
Introduction
A JS utility library (w/ typescript bindings!) to make calls to the Torus network
The Torus network assumes that n/4 of nodes may be malicious, and n/2 + 1 of the nodes are required
for key reconstruction. Given these threshold assumptions, all API calls to the Torus nodes need to be checked
for consistency while still allowing for early exits in optimistic scenarios where the first n/2 + 1 responses
are from honest nodes.
Also, in order to prevent front-running by nodes, a commit-reveal process is also necessary for share retrieval.
This library handles these checks and allows you to query the Torus network easily through these APIs:
- retrieveShares
- getPublicAddress
Features
- Typescript compatible. Includes Type definitions
- All API's return
Promises
Installation
Bundling
This module is distributed in 4 formats
esm
build dist/torusUtils.esm.js
in es6 formatcommonjs
build dist/torusUtils.cjs.js
in es5 formatumd
build dist/torusUtils.umd.min.js
in es5 format without polyfilling corejs minifiednodejs
build dist/torusUtils-node.js
in es5 format
By default, the appropriate format is used for your specified usecase
You can use a different format (if you know what you're doing eg. node) by referencing the correct file
The cjs build is not polyfilled with core-js.
It is upto the user to polyfill based on the browserlist they target
Directly in Browser
CDN's serve the non-core-js polyfilled version by default. You can use a different

Tips for NUXT
This is a plugin that works only on the client side. So please register it as a ssr-free plugin.
Usage
Add @toruslabs/torus.js
to your project:
Needs to be used in conjuction with @toruslabs/fetch-node-details
import FetchNodeDetails from "@toruslabs/fetch-node-details";
import TorusUtils from "@toruslabs/torus.js";
const fetchNodeDetails = new FetchNodeDetails();
const torus = new TorusUtils({ network: "mainnet", clientId: "YOUR_CLIENT_ID" });
const verifier = "google";
const verifierId = "hello@tor.us";
const { torusNodeEndpoints, torusNodePub, torusIndexes } = await fetchNodeDetails.getNodeDetails();
const publicAddress = await torus.getPublicAddress(torusNodeEndpoints, torusNodePub, { verifier, verifierId });
const idToken = "YOUR_ID_TOKEN";
const keyData = await torus.retrieveShares(torusNodeEndpoints, torusIndexes, verifier, { verifier_id: verifierId }, idToken);
const FetchNodeDetails = require("@toruslabs/fetch-node-details").default;
const TorusUtils = require("@toruslabs/torus.js").default;
const fetchNodeDetails = new FetchNodeDetails();
const torus = new TorusUtils({ network: "mainnet", clientId: "YOUR_CLIENT_ID" });
const verifier = "google";
const verifierId = "hello@tor.us";
fetchNodeDetails
.getNodeDetails()
.then(({ torusNodeEndpoints, torusNodePub }) => torus.getPublicAddress(torusNodeEndpoints, torusNodePub, { verifier, verifierId }))
.then((publicAddress) => console.log(publicAddress));
const idToken = "YOUR_ID_TOKEN";
fetchNodeDetails
.getNodeDetails()
.then(({ torusNodeEndpoints, torusIndexes }) =>
torus.retrieveShares(torusNodeEndpoints, torusIndexes, verifier, { verifier_id: verifierId }, idToken)
)
.then((keyData) => console.log(keyData));
const FetchNodeDetails = require("@toruslabs/fetch-node-details/dist/fetchNodeDetails-node.js").default;
const TorusUtils = require("@toruslabs/torus.js/dist/torusUtils-node.js").default;
const fetchNodeDetails = new FetchNodeDetails();
const torus = new TorusUtils({ network: "mainnet" });
const verifier = "google";
const verifierId = "hello@tor.us";
fetchNodeDetails
.getNodeDetails()
.then(({ torusNodeEndpoints, torusNodePub }) => torus.getPublicAddress(torusNodeEndpoints, torusNodePub, { verifier, verifierId }))
.then((publicAddress) => console.log(publicAddress));
