# Arkade TypeScript SDK
The Arkade SDK is a TypeScript library for building Bitcoin wallets with support for both on-chain and off-chain transactions via the Ark protocol.
[](https://arkade-os.github.io/ts-sdk/)
[](https://deepwiki.com/ark-ts-sdk)
## Installation
```bash
npm install -os/sdk
```
## Usage
### Creating a Wallet
```typescript
import { SingleKey, Wallet } from '-os/sdk'
// Create a new in-memory key (or use an external signer)
const identity = SingleKey.fromHex('your_private_key_hex')
// Create a wallet with Ark support
const wallet = await Wallet.create({
identity,
// Esplora API, can be left empty - mempool.space API will be used
esploraUrl: 'https://mutinynet.com/api',
arkServerUrl: 'https://mutinynet.arkade.sh',
// Optional: specify storage adapter (defaults to InMemoryStorageAdapter)
// storage: new LocalStorageAdapter() // for browser persistence
})
```
### Receiving Bitcoin
```typescript
import { waitForIncomingFunds } from '-os/sdk'
// Get wallet addresses
const arkAddress = await wallet.getAddress()
const boardingAddress = await wallet.getBoardingAddress()
console.log('Ark Address:', arkAddress)
console.log('Boarding Address:', boardingAddress)
const incomingFunds = await waitForIncomingFunds(wallet)
if (incomingFunds.type === "vtxo") {
// Virtual coins received
console.log("VTXOs: ", incomingFunds.vtxos)
} else if (incomingFunds.type === "utxo") {
// Boarding coins received
console.log("UTXOs: ", incomingFunds.coins)
}
```
### Onboarding
Onboarding allows you to swap on-chain funds into VTXOs:
```typescript
import { Ramps } from '-os/sdk'
const onboardTxid = await new Ramps(wallet).onboard();
```
### Checking Balance
```typescript
// Get detailed balance information
const balance = await wallet.getBalance()
console.log('Total Balance:', balance.total)
console.log('Boarding Total:', balance.boarding.total)
console.log('Offchain Available:', balance.available)
console.log('Offchain Settled:', balance.settled)
console.log('Offchain Preconfirmed:', balance.preconfirmed)
console.log('Recoverable:', balance.recoverable)
// Get virtual UTXOs (off-chain)
const virtualCoins = await wallet.getVtxos()
// Get boarding UTXOs
const boardingUtxos = await wallet.getBoardingUtxos()
```
### Sending Bitcoin
```typescript
// Send bitcoin via Ark
const txid = await wallet.sendBitcoin({
address: 'tb1qw508d6qejxtdg4y5r3zarvary0c5xw7kxpjzsx',
amount: 50000, // in satoshis
feeRate: 1 // optional, in sats/vbyte
})
```
### Batch Settlements
This can be used to move preconfirmed balances into finalized balances and to manually convert UTXOs and VTXOs.
```typescript
// For settling transactions
const settleTxid = await wallet.settle({
inputs, // from getVtxos() or getBoardingUtxos()
outputs: [{
address: destinationAddress,
amount: BigInt(amount)
}]
})
```
### VTXO Management (Renewal & Recovery)
VTXOs have an expiration time (batch expiry). The SDK provides the `VtxoManager` class to handle both:
- **Renewal**: Renew VTXOs before they expire to maintain unilateral control of the funds.
- **Recovery**: Reclaim swept or expired VTXOs back to the wallet in case renewal window was missed.
```typescript
import { VtxoManager } from '-os/sdk'
// Create manager with optional renewal configuration
const manager = new VtxoManager(wallet, {
enabled: true, // Enable expiration monitoring
thresholdPercentage: 10 // Alert when 10% of lifetime remains (default)
})
```
#### Renewal: Prevent Expiration
Renew VTXOs before they expire to retain unilateral control of funds.
This settles expiring and recoverable VTXOs back to your wallet, refreshing their expiration time.
```typescript
// Renew all VTXOs to prevent expiration
const txid = await manager.renewVtxos()
console.log('Renewed:', txid)
// Check which VTXOs are expiring soon
const expiringVtxos = await manager.getExpiringVtxos()
// Override threshold percentage (e.g., renew when 5% of time remains)
const urgentlyExpiring = await manager.getExpiringVtxos(5)
```
#### Recovery: Reclaim Swept VTXOs
Recover VTXOs that have been swept by the server or consolidate small amounts (subdust).
```typescript
// Recover swept VTXOs and preconfirmed subdust
const txid = await manager.recoverVtxos((event) => {
console.log('Settlement event:', event.type)
})
console.log('Recovered:', txid)
// Check what's recoverable
const balance = await manager.getRecoverableBalance()
```
### Transaction History
```typescript
// Get transaction history
const history = await wallet.getTransactionHistory()
```
### Offboarding
Collaborative exit or "offboarding" allows you to withdraw your virtual funds to an on-chain address:
```typescript
import { Ramps } from '-os/sdk'
const exitTxid = await new Ramps(wallet).offboard(onchainAddress);
```
### Unilateral Exit
Unilateral exit allows you to withdraw your funds from the Ark protocol back to the Bitcoin blockchain without requiring cooperation from the Ark server. This process involves two main steps:
1. **Unrolling**: Broadcasting the transaction chain from off-chain back to on-chain
2. **Completing the exit**: Spending the unrolled VTXOs after the timelock expires
#### Step 1: Unrolling VTXOs
```typescript
import { Unroll, OnchainWallet, SingleKey } from '-os/sdk'
// Create an identity for the onchain wallet
const onchainIdentity = SingleKey.fromHex('your_onchain_private_key_hex');
// Create an onchain wallet to pay for P2A outputs in VTXO branches
// OnchainWallet implements the AnchorBumper interface
const onchainWallet = await OnchainWallet.create(onchainIdentity, 'regtest');
// Unroll a specific VTXO
const vtxo = { txid: 'your_vtxo_txid', vout: 0 };
const session = await Unroll.Session.create(
vtxo,
onchainWallet,
onchainWallet.provider,
wallet.indexerProvider
);
// Iterate through the unrolling steps
for await (const step of session) {
switch (step.type) {
case Unroll.StepType.WAIT:
console.log(`Waiting for transaction ${step.txid} to be confirmed`);
break;
case Unroll.StepType.UNROLL:
console.log(`Broadcasting transaction ${step.tx.id}`);
break;
case Unroll.StepType.DONE:
console.log(`Unrolling complete for VTXO ${step.vtxoTxid}`);
break;
}
}
```
The unrolling process works by:
- Traversing the transaction chain from the root (most recent) to the leaf (oldest)
- Broadcasting each transaction that isn't already on-chain
- Waiting for confirmations between steps
- Using P2A (Pay-to-Anchor) transactions to pay for fees
#### Step 2: Completing the Exit
Once VTXOs are fully unrolled and the unilateral exit timelock has expired, you can complete the exit:
```typescript
// Complete the exit for specific VTXOs
await Unroll.completeUnroll(
wallet,
[vtxo.txid], // Array of VTXO transaction IDs to complete
onchainWallet.address // Address to receive the exit amount
);
```
**Important Notes:**
- Each VTXO may require multiple unroll steps depending on the transaction chain length
- Each unroll step must be confirmed before proceeding to the next
- The `completeUnroll` method can only be called after VTXOs are fully unrolled and the timelock has expired
- You need sufficient on-chain funds in the `OnchainWallet` to pay for P2A transaction fees
### Running the wallet in a service worker
**Ultra-simplified setup!** We handle all the complex service worker registration and identity management for you:
```typescript
// SIMPLE SETUP with identity! 🎉
import { ServiceWorkerWallet, SingleKey } from '-os/sdk';
// Create your identity
const identity = SingleKey.fromHex('your_private_key_hex');
// Or generate a new one:
// const identity = SingleKey.fromRandomBytes();
const wallet = await ServiceWorkerWallet.setup({
serviceWorkerPath: '/service-worker.js',
arkServerUrl: 'https://mutinynet.arkade.sh',
identity
});
// That's it! Ready to use immediately:
const address = await wallet.getAddress();
const balance = await wallet.getBalance();
```
You'll also need to create a service worker file:
```typescript
// service-worker.js
import { Worker } from '-os/sdk'
// Worker handles communication between the main thread and service worker
new Worker().start()
```
### Storage Adapters
Choose the appropriate storage adapter for your environment:
```typescript
import {
SingleKey,
Wallet,
InMemoryStorageAdapter, // Works everywhere, data lost on restart
} from '-os/sdk'
// Import additional storage adapters as needed:
import { LocalStorageAdapter } from '-os/sdk/adapters/localStorage' // Browser/PWA persistent storage
import { IndexedDBStorageAdapter } from '-os/sdk/adapters/indexedDB' // Browser/PWA/Service Worker advanced storage
import { AsyncStorageAdapter } from '-os/sdk/adapters/asyncStorage' // React Native persistent storage
import { FileSystemStorageAdapter } from '-os/sdk/adapters/fileSystem' // Node.js file-based storage
// Node.js
const storage = new FileSystemStorageAdapter('./wallet-data')
// Browser/PWA
const storage = new LocalStorageAdapter()
// or for advanced features:
const storage = new IndexedDBStorageAdapter('my-app', 1)
// React Native
const storage = new AsyncStorageAdapter()
// Service Worker
const storage = new IndexedDBStorageAdapter('service-worker-wallet', 1)
// Load identity from storage (simple pattern everywhere)
const privateKeyHex = await storage.getItem('private-key')
const identity = SingleKey.fromHex(privateKeyHex)
// Create wallet (same API everywhere)
const wallet = await Wallet.create({
identity,
arkServerUrl: 'https://mutinynet.arkade.sh',
storage // optional
})
```
### Using with Expo/React Native
For React Native and Expo applications where standard EventSource and fetch streaming may not work properly, use the Expo-compatible providers:
```typescript
import { Wallet, SingleKey } from '-os/sdk'
import { ExpoArkProvider, ExpoIndexerProvider } from '-os/sdk/adapters/expo'
const identity = SingleKey.fromHex('your_private_key_hex')
const wallet = await Wallet.create({
identity: identity,
esploraUrl: 'https://mutinynet.com/api',
arkProvider: new ExpoArkProvider('https://mutinynet.arkade.sh'), // For settlement events and transactions streaming
indexerProvider: new ExpoIndexerProvider('https://mutinynet.arkade.sh'), // For address subscriptions and VTXO updates
})
// use expo/fetch for streaming support (SSE)
// All other wallet functionality remains the same
const balance = await wallet.getBalance()
const address = await wallet.getAddress()
```
Both ExpoArkProvider and ExpoIndexerProvider are available as adapters following the SDK's modular architecture pattern. This keeps the main SDK bundle clean while providing opt-in functionality for specific environments:
- **ExpoArkProvider**: Handles settlement events and transaction streaming using expo/fetch for Server-Sent Events
- **ExpoIndexerProvider**: Handles address subscriptions and VTXO updates using expo/fetch for JSON streaming
#### Crypto Polyfill Requirement
Install `expo-crypto` and polyfill `crypto.getRandomValues()` at the top of your app entry point:
```bash
npx expo install expo-crypto
```
```typescript
// App.tsx or index.js - MUST be first import
import * as Crypto from 'expo-crypto';
if (!global.crypto) global.crypto = {} as any;
global.crypto.getRandomValues = Crypto.getRandomValues;
// Now import the SDK
import { Wallet, SingleKey } from '-os/sdk';
import { ExpoArkProvider, ExpoIndexerProvider } from '-os/sdk/adapters/expo';
```
This is required for MuSig2 settlements and cryptographic operations.
### Repository Pattern
Access low-level data management through repositories:
```typescript
// VTXO management (automatically cached for performance)
const addr = await wallet.getAddress()
const vtxos = await wallet.walletRepository.getVtxos(addr)
await wallet.walletRepository.saveVtxos(addr, vtxos)
// Contract data for SDK integrations
await wallet.contractRepository.setContractData('my-contract', 'status', 'active')
const status = await wallet.contractRepository.getContractData('my-contract', 'status')
// Collection management for related data
await wallet.contractRepository.saveToContractCollection(
'swaps',
{ id: 'swap-1', amount: 50000, type: 'reverse' },
'id' // key field
)
const swaps = await wallet.contractRepository.getContractCollection('swaps')
```
