Nami Wallet is a browser based wallet extension to interact with the Cardano blockchain. It's an open-source project and built by Berry Pool.
Since Nami is a browser extension, it can inject content inside the web context, which means you can connect the wallet to any website.
The exposed API follows for most parts this proposed CIP. The returned types are in cbor
/bytes
format. A helpful library for serializing and de-serializing these low-level data structures is the serialization-lib. To verify a signature returned from cardano.dataSign(address, payload)
the message-signing library helps.
- Detect the Cardano provider (
window.cardano
) - Detect which Cardano network the user is connected to (ID 1 = Mainnet, ID 0 = Testnet)
- Get the user's Cardano account
All methods will return their values as Promise
. For simplicity and easier understanding the API is explained without the Promises.
Will ask the user to give access to requested website. If access is given, this function will return true
, otherwise throws an error
.
If the user calls this function again with already having permission to the requested website, it will simply return true
.
cardano.isEnabled() : boolean
Returns true
if wallet has access to requested website, false
otherwise.
cardano.getBalance() : Value
Value
is a hex encoded cbor string.
cardano.getUtxos(amount?: Value, paginate?: {page: number, limit: number}) : [TransactionUnspentOutput]
TransactionUnspentOutput
is a hex encoded bytes string.
amount
and paginate
are optional parameters. They are meant to filter the overall utxo set of a user's wallet.
cardano.getCollateral() : [TransactionUnspentOutput]
cardano.getUsedAddresses() : [BaseAddress]
BaseAddress
is a hex encoded bytes string.
Note Nami Wallet doesn't utilize the concept of multipe addresses per wallet. This function will return an array of length 1
and will always return the same single address. Just to follow the standards of the proposed CIP, it will return the address in an array.
cardano.getUnusedAddresses() : [BaseAddress]
Note This endpoint will return an empty array []. Same reason as above, simply to follow the standards.
cardano.getChangeAddress() : BaseAddress
Will return the same address as the one in cardano.getUsedAddresses()
.
cardano.getRewardAddress() : RewardAddress
RewardAddress
is a hex encoded bytes string.
cardano.getNetworkId() : number
Returns 0
if on testnet
, otherwise 1
if on mainnet
.
cardano.signData(address: BaseAddress|RewardAddress, payload: string) : CoseSign1
payload
is a hex encoded utf8 string.
CoseSign1
is a hex encoded bytes string.
If address is the BaseAddress
the signature is returned with the Payment Credential
, otherwise if the address is the RewardAddress
the signature is returned with the Stake Credential
.
The returned CoseSign1
object contains the payload
, signature
and the following protected headers:
key_id
=>PublicKey
,address
=>BaseAddress | RewardAddress
algorithm_id
=> EdDSA(0) (the algorithm used for Cardano addresses).
Read more about message signing in CIP-0008.
cardano.signTx(tx: Transaction, partialSign?: boolean) : TransactionWitnessSet
Transaction
is a hex encoded cbor string.
TransactionWitnessSet
is a hex encoded cbor string.
partialSign
is by default false
and optional. The wallet needs to provide all required signatures. If it can't an error
is thrown, otherwise the TransactionWitnessSet
is returned.
If partialSign
is true
, the wallet doesn't need to provide all required signatures.
cardano.submitTx(tx : Transaction) : hash32
Returns the transaction hash, if transaction was submitted successfully, otherwise throws an error
.
cardano.onAccountChange((addresses : [BaseAddress]) => void)
Note To follow the standards of multiple addresses the callback will return an array, although Nami Wallet will just return an array with a single address, which is the same as the one in cardano.getUsedAddresses()
.
cardano.onNetworkChange((network : number) => void)
The project_id
for API requests can be created under blockfrost.io.
Recommended: Follow this approach in order to keep the keys seperate from the repository.
The quick solution is to go under ./src/config/provider.js
and replace secrets.PROJECT_ID_MAINNET
and secrets.PROJECT_ID_TESTNET
with the project ids from blockfrost.
npm start
npm run build
npm test
