@ar.io/sdk

codecov

This is the home of ar.io SDK. This SDK provides functionality for interacting with the ar.io ecosystem of services (e.g. gateways and observers) and protocols (e.g. ArNS and AO). It is available for both NodeJS and Web environments.

Table of Contents

Prerequisites

  • node>=v18.0.0
  • npm or yarn

Installation

npm install @ar.io/sdk

or

yarn add @ar.io/sdk --ignore-engines

Note

The --ignore-engines flag is required when using yarn, as permaweb/aoconnect recommends only the use of npm. Alternatively, you can add a .yarnrc.yml file to your project containing ignore-engines true to ignore the engines check.

Quick Start

import { IO } from '@ar.io/sdk';

const io = IO.init();
const gateways = await io.getGateways();

Usage

The SDK is provided in both CommonJS and ESM formats and is compatible with bundlers such as Webpack, Rollup, and ESbuild. Utilize the appropriately named exports provided by this SDK's package.json based on your project's configuration. Refer to the examples directory to see how to use the SDK in various environments.

Web

Bundlers (Webpack, Rollup, ESbuild, etc.)

import { IO } from '@ar.io/sdk/web';

// set up client
const io = IO.init();
// fetch gateways
const gateways = await io.getGateways();

Warning

Polyfills are not provided by default for bundled web projects (Vite, ESBuild, Webpack, Rollup, etc.) . Depending on your apps bundler configuration and plugins, you will need to provide polyfills for various imports including crypto, process and buffer. Refer to examples/webpack and examples/vite for examples. For other project configurations, refer to your bundler's documentation for more information on how to provide the necessary polyfills.

Browser

<script type="module">
  import { IO } from 'https://unpkg.com/@ar.io/sdk';

  // set up client
  const io = IO.init();
  // fetch gateways
  const gateways = await io.getGateways();
</script>

Node

ESM (NodeNext)

import { IO } from '@ar.io/sdk/node';

// set up client
const io = IO.init();
// fetch gateways
const gateways = await io.getGateways();

CJS

import { IO } from '@ar.io/sdk';

// set up client
const io = IO.init();
// fetch gateways
const gateways = await io.getGateways();

Typescript

The SDK provides TypeScript types. When you import the SDK in a TypeScript project types are exported from ./lib/types/[node/web]/index.d.ts and should be automatically recognized by package managers, offering benefits such as type-checking and autocompletion.

Note

Typescript version 5.3 or higher is recommended.

IOToken & mIOToken

The IO process stores all values as mIO (milli-IO) to avoid floating-point arithmetic issues. The SDK provides an IOToken and mIOToken classes to handle the conversion between IO and mIO, along with rounding logic for precision.

All process interactions expect values in mIO. If numbers are provided as inputs, they are assumed to be in raw mIO values.

Converting IO to mIO

import { IOToken, mIOToken } from '@ar.io/sdk';

const ioValue = 1;
const mIOValue = new IOToken(ioValue).toMIO();

const mIOValue = 1_000_000;
const ioValue = new mIOToken(mIOValue).toIO();

IO Process

APIs

init({ signer })

Factory function to that creates a read-only or writeable client. By providing a signer additional write APIs that require signing, like joinNetwork and delegateStake are available. By default, a read-only client is returned and no write APIs are available.

// read-only client
const io = IO.init()

// read-write client for browser environments
const io = IO.init({ signer: new ArConnectSigner(window.arweaveWallet, Arweave.init({}))});

// read-write client for node environments
const io = IO.init({ signer: new ArweaveSigner(JWK) });

getInfo()

Retrieves the information of the IO process.

const io = IO.init();
const info = await io.getInfo();
Output
{
  "Name": "Testnet IO",
  "Ticker": "tIO",
  "Owner": "QGWqtJdLLgm2ehFWiiPzMaoFLD50CnGuzZIPEdoDRGQ",
  "Denomination": 6,
  "Handlers": ["_eval", "_default_"], // full list of handlers, useful for debugging
  "LastTickedEpochIndex": 31 // epoch index of the last tick
}

getTokenSupply()

Retrieves the total supply of tokens, returned in mIO. The total supply includes the following:

  • total - the total supply of all tokens
  • circulating - the total supply minus locked, withdrawn, delegated, and staked
  • locked - tokens that are locked in the protocol (a.k.a. vaulted)
  • withdrawn - tokens that have been withdrawn from the protocol by operators and delegators
  • delegated - tokens that have been delegated to gateways
  • staked - tokens that are staked in the protocol by gateway operators
  • protocolBalance - tokens that are held in the protocol's treasury. This is included in the circulating supply.
const io = IO.init();
const supply = await io.getTokenSupply();
Output

redelegateStake({ target, source, stakeQty, vaultId })

Redelegates the stake of a specific address to a new gateway. Vault ID may be optionally included in order to redelegate from an existing withdrawal vault. The redelegation fee is calculated based on the fee rate and the stake amount. Users are allowed one free redelegation every seven epochs. Each additional redelegation beyond the free redelegation will increase the fee by 10%, capping at a 60% redelegation fee.

e.g: If 1000 mIO is redelegated and the fee rate is 10%, the fee will be 100 mIO. Resulting in 900 mIO being redelegated to the new gateway and 100 mIO being deducted back to the protocol balance.

const io = IO.init({ signer: new ArweaveSigner(jwk) });

const { id: txId } = await io.redelegateStake({
  target: 't4Xr0_J4Iurt7caNST02cMotaz2FIbWQ4Kbj616RHl3',
  source: 'HwFceQaMQnOBgKDpnFqCqgwKwEU5LBme1oXRuQOWSRA',
  stakeQty: new IOToken(1000).toMIO(),
  vaultId: 'fDrr0_J4Iurt7caNST02cMotaz2FIbWQ4Kcj616RHl3',
});

getRedelegationFee({ address })

Retrieves the fee rate as percentage required to redelegate the stake of a specific address. Fee rate ranges from 0% to 60% based on the number of redelegations since the last fee reset.

const io = IO.init();

const fee = await io.getRedelegationFee({
  address: 't4Xr0_J4Iurt7caNST02cMotaz2FIbWQ4Kbj616RHl3',
});
Output
{
  "redelegationFeeRate": 10,
  "feeResetTimestamp": 1730996691117
}

Configuration

The IO client class exposes APIs relevant to the ar.io process. It can be configured to use any AO Process ID that adheres to the IO Network Spec. By default, it will use the current IO Testnet Process. Refer to AO Connect for more information on how to configure an IO process to use specific AO infrastructure.

// provide a custom ao infrastructure and process id
const io = IO.init({
  process: new AoProcess({
    processId: 'IO_PROCESS_ID'
    ao: connect({
      MU_URL: 'https://mu-testnet.xyz',
      CU_URL: 'https://cu-testnet.xyz',
      GRAPHQL_URL: 'https://arweave.net/graphql',
      GATEWAY_URL: 'https://arweave.net',
    })
  })
});

Arweave Name Tokens (ANT's)

The ANT client class exposes APIs relevant to compliant Arweave Name Token processes. It can be configured to use any process ID that adheres to the ANT process spec. You must provide either a custom process data provider or a processId to the ANT class constructor to use.

ANT APIs

init({ processId, signer })

Configuration

ANT clients can be configured to use custom AO process. Refer to AO Connect for more information on how to configure the AO process to use specific AO infrastructure.

const ant = ANT.init({
  process: new AoProcess({
    processId: 'ANT_PROCESS_ID'
    ao: connect({
      MU_URL: 'https://mu-testnet.xyz',
      CU_URL: 'https://cu-testnet.xyz',
      GRAPHQL_URL: 'https://arweave.net/graphql',
      GATEWAY_URL: 'https://arweave.net',
    })
  })
});

Logging

The library uses the Winston logger for node based projects, and console logger for web based projects by default. You can configure the log level via setLogLevel() API. Alternatively you can set a custom logger as the default logger so long as it satisfes the ILogger interface.

Configuration

import { Logger } from '@ar.io/sdk';

// set the log level
Logger.default.setLogLevel('debug');

// provide your own logger
Logger.default = winston.createLogger({ ...loggerConfigs }); // or some other logger that satisifes ILogger interface

Pagination

Certain APIs that could return a large amount of data are paginated using cursors. The SDK uses the cursor pattern (as opposed to pages) to better protect against changing data while paginating through a list of items. For more information on pagination strategies refer to this article.

Paginated results include the following properties:

  • items: the list of items on the current request, defaulted to 100 items.
  • nextCursor: the cursor to use for the next batch of items. This is undefined if there are no more items to fetch.
  • hasMore: a boolean indicating if there are more items to fetch. This is false if there are no more items to fetch.
  • totalItems: the total number of items available. This may change as new items are added to the list, only use this for informational purposes.
  • sortBy: the field used to sort the items, by default this is startTimestamp.
  • sortOrder: the order used to sort the items, by default this is desc.

To request all the items in a list, you can iterate through the list using the nextCursor until hasMore is false.

let hasMore = true;
let cursor: string | undefined;
const gateaways = [];
while (hasMore) {
  const page = await io.getGateways({ limit: 100, cursor });
  gateaways.push(...items);
  cursor = page.nextCursor;
  hasMore = page.hasMore;
}

Resources

Bundling

For ANS-104 bundling compatible with ar.io gateways, we recommend using turbo-sdk. Turbo SDK provides efficient and reliable methods for creating and uploading data bundles to the Arweave network, which are fully compatible with ar.io gateways. Turbo supports fiat and crypto bundling and uploading with a focus on ease of use and reliability.

Gateways

Running a Gateway

To run your own ar.io gateway, you can refer to the following resources:

  • ar-io-node repository: This repository contains the source code and instructions for setting up and running an ar.io gateway node.
  • ar.io Gateway Documentation: This comprehensive guide provides detailed information on gateway setup, configuration, and management.

Running your own gateway allows you to participate in the ar.io network, serve Arweave data, and potentially earn rewards. Make sure to follow the official documentation for the most up-to-date and accurate information on gateway operation.

AO

This library integrates with AO, a decentralized compute platform built on Arweave. We utilize AO Connect to interact with AO processes and messages. This integration allows for seamless communication with the AO network, enabling developers to leverage decentralized computation and storage capabilities in their applications.

For more information on how to use AO and AO Connect within this library, please refer to our documentation and examples.
