Understand the project

Practical overview

When it fits

Use it when a blockchain application and wallet need shared conventions for registration, discovery and wallet interfaces, or when an integration needs chain-specific extensions.

Who it is for

  • Developers building browser applications that need to discover compatible wallets.
  • Wallet developers implementing shared interfaces and registration.
  • Teams creating a common wallet integration layer for blockchain applications.

Documented uses

  • Define wallet and account interfaces for an application integration.
  • Register wallet software for applications to discover.
  • Discover wallets registered with the standard from an application.
  • Extend shared wallet behavior with chain-specific capabilities.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The project is open source under the Apache-2.0 license.

  • Wallet registration and application-side discovery are separate roles, represented by registerWallet and getWallets.
  • The repository documents interfaces and an example of wallets attaching to the browser window.
  • Chain-specific capabilities are addressed through extensions.
  • Implementing the interfaces in a particular wallet is a plausible adaptation, but no specific implementation is demonstrated in the cited documentation.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Discover wallets registered with the standard

Use the documented application-side function to discover wallets registered with Wallet Standard.

Before you start

  • A TypeScript application
  • The Wallet Standard repository and its application-side getWallets function

Steps

  1. Review the repository's Wallet and WalletAccount interfaces.

  2. Use the application-side getWallets function for wallet discovery.

  3. Refer to the example showing how wallets attach to the browser window.

Expected outcome

An application-side discovery path for wallets registered with the standard.

Guide limitations

  • The repository identifies getWallets as an application function but does not provide a specific application's implementation in the cited README.
