MultiversX (EGLD)

MultiversX (formerly Elrond) is a highly scalable, fast, and secure blockchain platform for distributed apps, enterprise use cases, and the new internet economy.

Creating the SDK instance

To interact with the MultiversX blockchain, you first need to create an instance of the SDK. Here's how you can do it:

import { MULTIVERSX } from "@kynesyslabs/demosdk/xm-websdk"

const rpc_url = "https://testnet-api.multiversx.com"

const instance = await MULTIVERSX.create(rpc_url)

The instance is now connected to the MultiversX testnet and ready to be used.

Connecting your wallet

You can connect your wallet using a private key (keyFile) and password as shown below:

const keyFile = '{"version":4,...}' // Your keyFile JSON string
const password = "your-wallet-password"

await instance.connectWallet(keyFile, {
    password: password,
})

Note: In a web environment, if you don't provide a keyFile and password, the SDK will attempt to connect using the MultiversX DeFi Wallet browser extension.

Getting your address

You can get your address using the getAddress method:

const address = instance.getAddress()

Preparing a transaction

You can prepare a transaction using the preparePay method:

const recipientAddress = "erd1..."
const amount = "0.00001" // in EGLD

const tx = await instance.preparePay(recipientAddress, amount)

The preparePay method returns a signed transaction ready to be sent to a DEMOS node.

Preparing multiple transactions

You can prepare multiple transactions using the preparePays method:

const transfers = [
    { address: "erd1...", amount: "0.00001" },
    { address: "erd1...", amount: "0.00002" },
]

const txs = await instance.preparePays(transfers)

The preparePays method returns an array of signed transactions. These transactions are signed with increasing nonces derived from the account's current nonce on the network.

Signing messages

const message = "Hello, world!"

// Signing
const signature = await instance.signMessage(message)

// Verifying signature
const verified = await instance.verifyMessage(
    message,
    signature,
    instance.getAddress(),
)

expect(verified).toBe(true)

Cleaning up

When you're done with the SDK instance, you can disconnect your wallet:

await instance.disconnect()

Hacking

The DEMOS MultiversX SDK provides a limited set of methods to interact with the blockchain. For more advanced usage, you can access the underlying objects:

Property
Type
Description

instance.provider

Provides access to network data

instance.wallet

Manages wallet operations

Example

To get all the tokens owned by an address (a feature not directly implemented in the SDK):

const address = instance.getAddress()
const tokens = await instance.provider.getAllEsdtTokens(new Address(address))

tokens.forEach(token => {
    console.log(`Token: ${token.identifier}, Balance: ${token.balance}`)
})

This example uses the getAllEsdtTokens method from the underlying INetworkProvider, which is not directly exposed in the DEMOS SDK.

For more advanced operations, refer to the following documentation:
