Wallets initialization

To use SDK, you have to create a Wallet — abstraction to communicate with real blockchain wallets. Initialize wallets for used blockchains or use Rarible Wallet Connector (in general for frontend) It is possible to use SDK without wallet (for ex. sdk.balances.getBalance), but in that case you can't send transactions and sign messages:

const raribleSdk = createRaribleSdk(undefined, "prod")

Initialize simple wallets

  • Ethereum / Polygon

    You can create EthereumWallet with one of the following providers:

    • Web3 instance. For example, Metamask (window.ethereum) or HDWalletProvider
    • ethers.providers.Web3Provider
    • ethers.Wallet
    import Web3 from "web3"
import * as HDWalletProvider from "@truffle/hdwallet-provider"
import { Web3Ethereum } from "@rarible/web3-ethereum"
import { ethers } from "ethers"
import { EthersEthereum, EthersWeb3ProviderEthereum } from "@rarible/ethers-ethereum"
import { EthereumWallet } from "@rarible/sdk-wallet"

//Creating EthereumWallet with Web3
const web3 = new Web3(provider)
const web3Ethereum = new Web3Ethereum({ web3 })
const ethWallet = new EthereumWallet(web3Ethereum)

//or with HDWalletProvider
const provider = new HDWalletProvider({
  url: "<NODE_URL>",
  privateKeys: ["0x0..."],
  chainId: 1,
})
const web3 = new Web3(provider)
const web3Ethereum = new Web3Ethereum({ web3 })
const ethWallet = new EthereumWallet(web3Ethereum)

//Creating EthereumWallet with ethers.providers.Web3Provider
const ethersWeb3Provider = new ethers.providers.Web3Provider(provider)
const ethersProvider = new EthersWeb3ProviderEthereum(ethersWeb3Provider)
const ethWallet = new EthereumWallet(ethersProvider)

//Creating EthereumWallet with ethers.Wallet
const ethersWeb3Provider = new ethers.providers.Web3Provider(provider)
const ethersProvider = new EthersEthereum(new ethers.Wallet(wallet.getPrivateKeyString(), ethersWeb3Provider))
const ethWallet = new EthereumWallet(ethersProvider)

// Second parameter — is environment: "prod" | "staging" | "dev"
const raribleSdk = createRaribleSdk(ethWallet, "staging")

  • Flow

    import * as fcl from "@onflow/fcl"
import { FlowWallet } from "@rarible/sdk-wallet"

const wallet =  new FlowWallet(fcl)

    You also need to configure Flow Client Library (FCL), because Flow-sdk use @onflow/fcl-js:

    //example config for testnet
import { config } from "@onflow/fcl";
config({
  "accessNode.api": "https://access-testnet.onflow.org", // Mainnet: "https://access-mainnet-beta.onflow.org"
  "discovery.wallet": "https://fcl-discovery.onflow.org/testnet/authn" // Mainnet: "https://fcl-discovery.onflow.org/authn"
})

    See more configuration details on Flow documentation.

  • Tezos

    To initialize wallets, you can use:

    • in_memory_provider (also for backend)
    • beacon_provider (@rarible/tezos-sdk/dist/providers/beacon/beacon_provider)
    //in_memory_provider usage example
import { in_memory_provider } from "@rarible/tezos-sdk/dist/providers/in_memory/in_memory_provider"
import { TezosWallet } from "@rarible/sdk-wallet"

const provider = in_memory_provider("edsk...", nodeUrl)
const wallet = new TezosWallet(provider)

Use Rarible SDK Wallet Connector

Wallet Connector make possible to connect the following providers:

  • InjectedWeb3ConnectionProvider — Metamask, Coinbase, etc
  • FortmaticConnectionProvider
  • PortisConnectionProvider
  • TorusConnectionProvider
  • WalletLinkConnectionProvider
  • MEWConnectionProvider
  • IframeConnectionProvider
  • WalletConnectConnectionProvider
  • BeaconConnectionProvider
  • FclConnectionProvider
