AirGap Coin Library
The airgap-coin-lib
is setup in a way that prepare, signing and broadcasting are willingfully separated. This is especially useful in the context of AirGap. The following operations are specified:
- prepareTransaction - This is done on the wallet (online) side. Either a public key or extended public key is used and will fetch the required information from the network
- signTransaction - This is done on the vault (offline) side. The output of "prepareTransaction" is the input for this method (hence the output of "prepareTransaction" is transferred via URL scheme (same-device) or QR code (2-device-setup)).
- broadcastTransaction - This is done on the wallet (online) side. The output of "signTransaction" is the input for this method (hence the output of "signTransaction" is transferred via URL scheme (same-device) or QR code (2-device-setup)).
Supported Coins
The modular design used in this library allows you to simply add new coins with special logic. Adding a new Bitcoin-like
Coin basically means:
- select the correct network parameters (see
lib/networks.ts
) - set the Insight API URL to communicate with the blockchain
Adding a new Ethereum-like Coin means:
- set the correct chain id
- set the JSON RPC URL
Adding a new ERC20-like Coin means:
- set the correct chain id
- set the JSON RPC URL
- set the contract address
Currently supported are:
- Bitcoin
- Ethereum
- Aeternity Token
Features
The way the interface was designed is to allow stateless calls. This means the class itself stores very little state itself.
All required input comes from the method params (public key, extended public key, etc...)
Currently we support for Bitcoin-like coins:
- Single Address Wallets
- HD Wallets
Currently we support for Ethereum-like coins:
- Single Address Wallets (HD-Wallets make no sense for ETH-like)
Synchronising information between wallet and vault
Such that the system works we need to be able to synchronise wallets. A wallet can be:
- Single Address Wallet
- HD Wallet
For the single address wallet we only need to share the public key. For HD Wallet we need to share the extended public key.
Getting started
