Add new blockchains to AirGap with Isolated Modules

Isolated Modules is a feature of AirGap that allows anyone to extend the applications with new blockchain support. Developers can use the Isolated Modules API to develop packages providing a blockchain implementation of their choice that users can later sideload into their applications and create accounts with.

After being sideloaded, the packages are considered standalone modules that will execute in their own isolated environments.

How to develop an Isolated Module​

An Isolated Module is a JavaScript package expected to meet specific requirements in terms of both code and file structure. It will be executed in a special JavaScript environment on a mobile device running Android or iOS. Depending on the environment you choose for a platform, different requirements and restrictions may apply to your code.

See the steps below to learn about all the requirements and how to fulfill them.

Code​

To make sure your code conforms to the expected interface it is highly recommended to base your code on the @airgap/module-kit package. It's a set of utility functions and types (TypeScript) that should help you develop your Isolated Module fast and easy. Use npm or Yarn to install it in your project:

npm

$ npm install --save @airgap/module-kit

Yarn

$ yarn add @airgap/module-kit

Note: The further steps assume that your project uses TypeScript and will use TypeScript-based examples to better explain the interface requirements.

Module​

An Isolated Module's code is expected to have a single entrypoint, the create function exported from the main source file. The create function should return an instance of your implementation of the AirGapModule interface.

// index.ts

import { AirGapModule } from "@airgap/module-kit";
import { MyModule } from "./module.ts";

export function create(): AirGapModule {
return new MyModule();
}

AirGapModule holds information about what blockchain protocols the Isolated Module supports and, upon request, can create objects responsible for delivering the functionality AirGap applications require. This is where you can list the protocols AirGap users can use to create accounts with and configure them with different network options.

Note: The AirGapModule interface in its default form is a simplification. See Generic Types to learn how to achieve better type safety.

There is no limitation in how many blockchain protocols a single module can support nor in which context (offline/Vault or online/Wallet) they can be used. The example below creates a single module which supports 3 different types of protocols, a protocol that will be used only in AirGap Vault ('offline-only-protocol'), a protocol that will be used only in AirGap Wallet ('online-only-protocol') and a protocol that will be used both in AirGap Vault and Wallet ('offline-and-online-protocol'). The module ships with a mainnet network configuration for the 'online-only-protocol' protocol and mainnet and testnet configurations for the 'offline-and-online-protocols' protocol.

Protocol​

In AirGap a protocol is a blockchain client used to create accounts and interact with them. Depending on in which AirGap application the protocol is used, it can have different interface requirements.

Offline (AirGap Vault)​

AirGap Vault requires protocols to run completely offline and will use them to create key pairs and sign transactions. To create an offline protocol implement the AirGapOfflineProtocol interface.

Note: The AirGapOfflineProtocol interface in its default form is a simplification. See Generic Types to learn how to achieve better type safety.

// protocol-offline.ts

import {
AddressCursor,
AddressWithCursor,
AirGapOfflineProtocol,
AirGapTransaction,
CryptoConfiguration,
CryptoDerivative,
KeyPair,
ProtocolMetadata,
PublicKey,
SecretKey,

UnsignedTransaction,
} from "@airgap/module-kit";

class MyOfflineProtocol implements AirGapOfflineProtocol {
/**

}

/* ... */
}

/**

* further used to display the details about this transaction.
*

* @returns A list of unified transaction details
*/
getDetailsFromTransaction(
transaction: UnsignedTransaction | SignedTransaction,
publicKey: PublicKey
): Promise<AirGapTransaction[]> {
/* ... */
}
}

Configuration

Apart from the functionality, offline protocols are also expected to provide information on themselves to help build better user experience. You should use the interface's methods getMetadata and getCryptoConfiguration to share that information.

getMetadata is where you can define the protocol's:

  • name

  • identifier

    The identifier has to be unique, it'll be used to distinguish which protocol should be used to act.

  • units and main unit

    The units are a set of currency units supported by the protocol (e.g. for Bitcoin it could be "BTC", "mBTC", "uBTC", "sat" and "msat") with their metadata, i.e. the symbol (a name that should be displayed in the applications together with an optional market name, if it differs from the main value, to help fetch the currency price from the Internet) and decimals. The main unit should be a value selected from the supported units and will be used as the default unit in the applications.

  • optional fee configuration

    The fee configuration includes optional fixed values and units if they are different than units configured in the previous step

  • account configuration

    Every protocol has to define what BIP-32 derivation path should be used by default to derive key pairs it'll use. Additionally, you can set here the address placeholder and regex that will be used to validate user inputs.

  • optional transaction configuration

getCryptoConfiguration returns a set of configuration data that will be used (in addition to the BIP-32 derivation path from the protocol's metadata) to derive an intermediate "secret" (derivative) from user's mnemonic. This derivative is what later will be passed to your protocol in the getKeyPairFromDerivative method. Currently, the following crypto configuration types are available:

  • ed25519
  • sr25519 (Substrate compatible)
  • secp256k1
  • sapling
Online (AirGap Wallet)​

AirGap Wallet uses protocols mainly to fetch online data from the network. They are responsible for getting user's balance, transaction history and preparing and submitting transactions that can be later signed in AirGap Vault. To create an online protocol implement the AirGapOnlineProtocol interface.

Note: The AirGapOnlineProtocol interface in its default form is a simplification. See Generic Types to learn how to achieve better type safety.

// protocol-online.ts

import { AirGapOnlineProtocol, ProtocolNetwork } from "@airgap/module-kit";

class MyOnlineProtocol implements AirGapOnlineProtocol {
constructor(network: ProtocolNetwork) {}

/**
* Get this protocol's metadata, i.e. its unique configuration.
*
* The metadata will be used to identify the protocol, display its details
* and help building customized forms.
*
* @returns The metadata
*/
getMetadata(): Promise<ProtocolMetadata> {
/* ... */
}

/**

*
* The network configuration will be used to create
* companion objects for this protocol (e.g. block explorer),
* and identify different instances of this protocol

*/
getNetwork(): Promise<ProtocolNetwork> {
/* ... */
}

*/
getDetailsFromTransaction(
transaction: UnsignedTransaction | SignedTransaction,
publicKey: PublicKey
): Promise<AirGapTransaction[]> {
/* ... */
}

/**

*
* @param transaction - The transaction to be submitted

*/
broadcastTransaction(transaction: SignedTransaction): Promise<string> {
/* ... */
}
}

const MY_ONLINE_PROTOCOL_MAINNET_NETWORK: ProtocolNetwork = {
name: "Mainnet",
type: "mainnet",
rpcUrl: "...",
blockExplorerUrl: "...",
};

  • name

    Every protocol has to define what BIP-32 derivation path should be used by default to derive key pairs it'll use. Additionally, you can set here the address placeholder and regex that will be used to validate user inputs.

  • optional transaction configuration

getNetwork should return the network the protocol is currently operating on.

Offline and Online (AirGap Vault & AirGap Wallet)​

To create a single protocol that can be used in both AirGap Vault and AirGap Wallet implement the AirGapProtocol interface.

Note: The AirGapProtocol interface in its default form is a simplification. See Generic Types to learn how to achieve better type safety.

// protocol-full.ts

import { AirGapProtocol, ProtocolNetwork } from "@airgap/module-kit";

class MyProtocol implements AirGapProtocol {
constructor(network: ProtocolNetwork) {}

// ...
}

const MY_PROTOCOL_MAINNET_NETWORK: ProtocolNetwork = {
name: "Mainnet",
type: "mainnet",
rpcUrl: "...",
blockExplorerUrl: "...",
};

const MY_PROTOCOL_TESTNET_NETWORK: ProtocolNetwork = {
name: "Testnet",
type: "testnet",
rpcUrl: "...",
blockExplorerUrl: "...",
};

Block Explorer​

The block explorer is a component used in the online context (AirGap Wallet) to help navigate users to a block explorer webpage where they can learn more about their accounts and transactions. To create your block explorer implement the AirGapBlockExplorer interface.

// block-explorer.ts

import { AirGapBlockExplorer, BlockExplorerMetadata } from "@airgap/module-kit";

class MyProtocolBlockExplorer implements AirGapBlockExplorer {
/**
* Get this block explorer's metadata.
*
* @returns The metadata
*/
getMetadata(): Promise<BlockExplorerMetadata> {
/* ... */
}

/**
* Create a URL that links to the account's details page.
*
* @param address - The account's address
* @returns The URL of the account's details page
*/
createAddressUrl(address: string): Promise<string> {
/* ... */
}

/**
* Create a URL that links to the transaction's details page.
*
* @param transactionId - The transaction's identifier
* @returns The URL of the transaction's details page
*/
createTransactionUrl(transactionId: string): Promise<string> {
/* ... */
}
}

Serialization​

Serialization is an important part of the communication between AirGap applications. Every transaction that your online protocol creates in AirGap Wallet will be serialized before it's sent to AirGap Vault and every transaction signed by your offline protocol in AirGap Vault will be serialized before it's returned to AirGap Wallet.

We use our own serializer (@airgap/serializer) that, depending on a version, can impose its own requirements on an Isolated Module.

V3 Serializer​

The V3 Serializer requires that a module specifies a list of schemas that should be used to serialize and deserialize a protocol's unsigned transaction (TransactionSignRequest) and signed transaction (TransactionSignResponse). Additionally, a module should be able to convert transactions between their serializable and non-serializable forms and validate them.

To meet these requirements create your own implementation of the AirGapV3SerializerCompanion interface.

// v3serializer.ts

import { AirGapV3SerializerCompanion, SignedTransaction, UnsignedTransaction, V3SchemaConfiguration } from '@airgap/module-kit'
import { IACMessageType, TransactionSignRequest, TransactionSignResponse } from '@airgap/serializer'

class MyV3SerializerCompanion implements AirGapV3SerializerCompanion {
/**
* A list of AirGap's V3 Serializer schema configurations.
*
* This list will be used to register the schemas
* in the V3 Serializer instance running in the applications.
*/
schemas: V3SchemaConfiguration[] = [
{
type: IACMessageType.TransactionSignRequest,
schema: { schema: /* ... */ },
protocolIdentifier: 'my-protocol'
},
{
type: IACMessageType.TransactionSignResponse,
schema: { schema: /* ... */ },
protocolIdentifier: 'my-protocol'
}
]

/**
* Transform an unsigned transaction to Serializer's transaction sign request.
*
* @param identifier - The identifier of the protocol which created the transaction
* @param unsignedTransaction - The transaction to be transformed
* @param publicKey - The sender of the transaction
* @param callbackUrl - The callback URL used in deeplinking
* @returns A transaction sign request object
*/
toTransactionSignRequest(identifier: string, unsignedTransaction: UnsignedTransaction, publicKey: string, callbackUrl?: string): Promise<TransactionSignRequest> { /* ... */ }

/**
* Transform Serializer's transaction sign request to an unsigned transaction.
*
* @param identifier - The identifier of the protocol which created the transaction
* @param transactionSignRequest - The transaction sign request to be transformed
* @returns An unsigned transaction
*/
fromTransactionSignRequest(identifier: string, transactionSignRequest: TransactionSignRequest): Promise<UnsignedTransaction> { /* ... */ }

/**
* Validate the transaction sign request.
*
* @param identifier - The identifier of the protocol which created the transaction
* @param transactionSignRequest - The transaction sign request to be validated
* @returns `true` if the request is valid, `false` otherwise
*/
validateTransactionSignRequest(identifier: string, transactionSignRequest: TransactionSignRequest): Promise<boolean> { /* ... */ }

/**
* Transform a signed transaction to Serializer's transaction sign response.
*
* @param identifier - The identifier of the protocol which created the transaction
* @param signedTransaction - The transaction to be transformed
* @param accountIdentifier - The identifier of the account which is sender of the transaction
* @returns A transaction sign response object
*/
toTransactionSignResponse(identifier: string, signedTransaction: SignedTransaction, accountIdentifier: string): Promise<TransactionSignResponse> { /* ... */ }

/**
* Transform Serializer's transaction sign response to a signed transaction.
*
* @param identifier - The identifier of the protocol which created the transaction
* @param transactionSignResponse - The transaction sign response to be transformed
* @returns A signed transaction
*/
fromTransactionSignResponse(identifier: string, transactionSignResponse: TransactionSignResponse): Promise<SignedTransaction> { /* ... */ }

/**
* Validate the transaction sign response.
*
* @param identifier - The identifier of the protocol which created the transaction
* @param transactionSignResponse - The transaction sign response to be validated
* @returns `true` if the response is valid, `false` otherwise
*/
validateTransactionSignResponse(identifier: string, transactionSignResponse: TransactionSignResponse): Promise<boolean> { /* ... */ }
}

Generate Schemas

Internally, we use ts-json-schema-generator to generate JSON schemas for our official AirGap modules. We recommend that you use the same tool to be sure your schemas are compatible with our serializer.

Manifest​

In addition to the source code, every Isolated Module should ship with a manifest file which describes the content of the module. The manifest file should be placed at the root of your module under the name manifest.json and have the following fields:

  • name (string)

    The name of the module.

  • version (string)

    The version of the module compliant with SemVer.

    "version": "x.y.z"
  • author (string)

  • url (string, optional)

  • email (string, optional)

  • repository (string, optional)

    Specify where the module's code can be found. The field is optional, but it is important for the community to be always able to verify the safety of your code.

  • publicKey (string)

    The public key matching the secret key used to sign the module (see Signature) in hexadecimal format.

    "publicKey": "0x9a1a5695aa8fe23c2f45a2c7315657cff79aa72cec023c56da9111849c13b617"
  • description (string)

    A short description of the module.

  • src (object, optional)

    If your sources require special handling, you can configure it in src.

    • namespace (string, optional)

      Specify the name of a global object that holds references to the module's exports.

      "src": {
      "namespace": "mymodule"
      }
  • res (object, optional)

    If you want to include additional resources (i.e. files that are not considered source code) you should specify them accordingly.

    • symbol (object, optional)

      You can specify graphic symbols that will be displayed in the applications to represent different units supported in your protocols. The symbols should be provided as URI file:// or data:image/*,base64

      "res": {
      "symbol": {
      "btc": "file://btc.svg"
      }
      }
  • include (array)

    A list of ALL files the module requires to run. Only files listed here will be considered during the installation.

    The entries should be paths (UNIX standard) relative to this manifest file.

    "include": [
    "index.js",
    "btc.svg"
    ]
  • jsenv (object, optional)

    Set the preferred execution environment depending on the platform.

    See the Execution Environments to learn what configuration options are available

Execution Environments​

To ensure the Isolated Modules' code is executed separately from each other and the core of the application, every call to an Isolated Module will result in spawning a new special JavaScript environment where the call will be eventually executed.

Depending on a platform and version on which the application runs, different environments are available and supported. The environments may vary in execution performance or code restrictions they impose. For example, web views are capable of running any code that can be executed in a browser, however, they have a significant impact on the performance as they take, in this case, a significant amount of time to load and need to run on the UI thread.

By default, the most efficient environment will be selected to run your module, however, if that module doesn't meet your needs, you can override this behaviour by specifying a different one in the manifest file.

Android​

  • JavascriptEngine (default, >= API 26)
    "jsenv": {
    "android": "javascriptengine"
    }
  • WebView (default < API 26)
    "jsenv": {
    "android": "webview"
    }

iOS​

  • WebView (default)
    "jsenv": {
    "ios": "webview"
    }

Signature​

Finally, the Isolated Module contents must be signed and the signature should be included in the bundle, otherwise users won't be allowed to install the package in their applications.

To sign your Isolated Module:

  • create an Ed25519 key pair

  • put the public key in the module's manifest file

  • use the secret key to sign the contents of the module

    The data to sign should consist of concatenated bytes of files listed in include in manifest.json (in the exact order) and the manifest.json file (placed as the last).

  • save the signature to a file and place it inside your bundle next to manifest.json under the module.sig name

Bundle​

An Isolated Module bundle is a ZIP file containing:

  • the compiled code
  • the manifest file (manifest.json)
  • the signature file (module.sig)
  • additional resources (must be listed in the manifest file)

  3. Open AirGap Wallet, navigate to Settings > (Add-ons) Isolated Modules and follow the instructions on the screen to load the bundle from the storage.

Advanced​

Some Isolated Modules interfaces offer ways to customize them so you can achieve better type safety or understand how to provide optional functionality that AirGap applications can later use.

See Generic Types to learn what you can do to have your modules typed in a stricter way and Interface Extensions to learn how you can extend your implementations with additional functionality.

Generic Types​

In most cases, AirGap applications don't actually process the data they get from an Isolated Module. Instead, they pass it from the online protocol to the offline protocol or the other way around, occasionally displaying the data to the user. For example, after you create an unsigned transaction in AirGap Wallet, it gets serialized (with some help of the module, see Serialization to learn more), next sent to AirGap Vault where it's immediately deserialized and finally it lands in the offline protocol for it to sign it. This means that the module is in full control of the structure of transaction that is sent between the applications. Therefore, it is safe to assume that if you returned an unsigned transaction of a type MyUnsignedTransaction from the online protocol's prepareTransactionWithPublicKey, you'll receive the same transaction of the same MyUnsignedTransaction type in the offline protocol's signTransactionWithSecretKey.

To help you recognize such spots in your code, the following interfaces can be customized with more precise types:

To apply your type, set one of the optional fields of the interface generic object:

class MyProtocol implements AirGapProtocol<{ Units: 'UNIT' | 'mUNIT' | 'uUNIT' }>

See each interface individual list of generic types to learn what types can be customized.

AirGapModule​

You can customize the following types in AirGapModule:

  • Protocols Set Protocols to narrow down the type representing protocol identifiers supported in the module. If not set, string will be used by default.

  • ProtocolNetwork

    Set ProtocolNetwork to configure the module with your subtype of ProtocolNetwork. If not set, ProtocolNetwork will be used by default.

// module.ts

import /* ... */ "@airgap/module-kit";

type MyProtocols =
| "offline-only-protocol"
| "online-only-protocol"
| "offline-and-online-protocol";

interface MyProtocolNetwork extends ProtocolNetwork {

AirGapOfflineProtocol​

You can customize the following types in AirGapOfflineProtocol:

  • AddressCursor

    If more that one address can be created from a single public key in your module, you can use the address cursor to track which one was created and where to start next time. Set AddressCursor to configure the protocol with your subtype of AddressCursor. If not set, AddressCursor will be used by default.

  • AddressResult

    Set AddressResult to narrow down the return type of address generating methods. AddressResult can be either Address (=string), AddressWithCursor or a union of both. If a single public key always produces only one address, you can set this type to be Address. If not set, Address | AddressWithCursor<AddressCursor> will be used by default, where AddressCursor is derived from the AddressCursor generic type.

  • CryptoConfiguration

    Set CryptoConfiguration to narrow down the type of crypto configuration supported in the protocol. If not set, CryptoConfiguration will be used by default.

  • Units

    Set Units to narrow down the type of units used to represent amounts in the protocol. If not set, string will be used by default.

  • FeeUnits

    Set FeeUnits to narrow down the type of units used to represent fee amounts in the protocol. If not set, the Unit generic type will be used by default.

  • SignedTransaction

    Set SignedTransaction to configure the protocol with your subtype of SignedTransaction. If not set, SignedTransaction will be used by default.

  • UnsignedTransaction

    Set UnsignedTransaction to configure the protocol with your subtype of UnsignedTransaction. If not set, UnsignedTransaction will be used by default.

AirGapProtocol​

Any type configuration that applies in AirGapOfflineProtocol or AirGapOnlineProtocol can be used in AirGapProtocol.

Extensions​

An extension is an interface which adds additional features to the type it's extending.

Important: More than one extension can be applied at the time, however, some extensions may affect the others in which case the order in which they are applied matters. As a rule, an extension that is affected by another should appear in the list after that extension.

AirGapOfflineProtocol​

Below you'll find a list of extensions applicable to AirGapOfflineProtocol.

Bip32​

Bip32 extends the protocol with methods that should be used to interact with BIP32 extended keys.

*
* @param extendedSecretKey - The extended key from which to derive

getDetailsFromTransaction(transaction: /* ... */, publicKey: PublicKey | ExtendedPublicKey): Promise</* ... */> { /* ... */ }

// ...
}
ConfigurableContract​

Use ConfigurableContract if your protocol's functionality depends on a smart contract interaction and the contract address can be externally changed throughout the protocol's lifetime.

// protocol-offline.ts

import /* ... */ "@airgap/module-kit";

class MyOfflineProtocol
implements
AirGapOfflineProtocol<
{
/* Generic Types */
},

publicKey: PublicKey,
cursor: AddressCursor
): Promise<AddressResult> {

}

// ...
}
SubProtocol​

Apply SubProtocol if your protocol's accounts can't exist and function without another protocol's account. This protocol will be considered a sub protocol, while the protocol that yours depends on will be its main protocol. For example, ERC20 tokens depend on Ethereum, therefore every ERC20 token protocol should be a sub protocol of the Ethereum protocol.

A sub protocol will be treated differently depending on its type. Currently 2 types of sub protocols are supported:

  • token - the protocol represents another token on the chain
  • account - the protocol is an alternative account representation

/* ... */
}

// ...
}
SingleTokenSubProtocol​

SingleTokenSubProtocol is an extension of SubProtocol, use it if your protocol represents a smart contract operating on a single token.

FetchDataForAddress​

Use FetchDataForAddress if your protocol should fetch data such as list of account's transactions and its balance using the account's address instead of public key.

Affected by:

  • MultiTokenSubProtocol
// protocol-online.ts

import /* ... */ "@airgap/module-kit";

class MyOnlineProtocol
implements
AirGapOnlineProtocol<

* @param address - The account's address which should be a sender or reciever of the transactions
* @param limit - The maximum number of transactions to return
* @param cursor - A paging cursor specifying how to proceed with the fetching
* @returns A list of transactions with a cursor which can be used to fetch another portion of data
*/
getTransactionsForAddress(
address: string,
limit: number,
cursor?: TransactionCursor

*
* @param address - The account's address
* @returns The balance
*/
getBalanceOfAddress(address: string): Promise<Balance> {
/* ... */
}

// ...
}
FetchDataForMultipleAddresses​

Use FetchDataForMultipleAddresses if your protocol should fetch data such as list of account's transactions and its balance using the account's multiple addresses instead of public key.

ConfigurableTransactionInjector​

Apply ConfigurableTransactionInjector to your protocol if during its lifetime it can be configured with a special injector service that can submit transactions on the protocol's behalf.

// protocol-online.ts

import /* ... */ "@airgap/module-kit";

class MyOnlineProtocol
implements
AirGapOnlineProtocol<
{
/* Generic Types */
},
"ConfigurableTransactionInjector"

{
/**
* Get the injector service URL the protocol is currently configured with.
*
* @return The URL or `undefined` if none is set
*/
getInjectorUrl(): Promise<string | undefined> {

* Set the injector serivce URL.
*
* @param url - The injector's URL
*/
setInjectorUrl(url: string): Promise<void> {
/* ... */
}

// ...
}
TransactionStatusChecker​

Use TransactionStautsChecker if your protocol can check a transaction status based on its ID at any time.

// protocol-online.ts

import /* ... */ "@airgap/module-kit";

class MyOnlineProtocol
implements
AirGapOnlineProtocol<
{
/* Generic Types */
},
"TransactionStatusChecker"
>
{
/**
* Check the transaction status.
*
* @param transactionIds - IDs of the transactions for which to check the status
* @return A set of transaction statuses grouped by transaction id
*/
getTransactionStatus(
transactionIds: string[]
): Promise<Record<string, AirGapTransactionStatus>> {
/* ... */
}
