Capabilities5 decomposed
wallet-aware transaction submission
Medium confidenceThis capability allows users to submit transactions to the Cardano blockchain by utilizing a secure wallet connection established through a seed phrase. The server interacts with the blockchain via Blockfrost or Ogmios APIs, ensuring that transactions are processed with the user's wallet context, which enhances security and user experience. The architecture ensures that sensitive information is never exposed to external systems, maintaining a high level of security.
Utilizes a wallet-aware architecture that ensures transactions are submitted in the context of the user's local wallet, enhancing security and usability.
More secure than traditional transaction submission methods as it keeps sensitive wallet information local and never exposes it to third-party services.
fetching wallet balances
Medium confidenceThis capability retrieves the current balance of a specified wallet on the Cardano blockchain. It leverages the Blockfrost API to query the blockchain for balance information, ensuring that the data is up-to-date and accurate. The implementation is designed to efficiently handle requests and return results in a structured format, making it easy for developers to integrate this functionality into their applications.
Integrates directly with the Blockfrost API to provide real-time balance information, ensuring accuracy and reliability.
Faster and more reliable than manual balance checks as it automates the querying process and returns structured data.
reading utxos
Medium confidenceThis capability allows users to read unspent transaction outputs (UTxOs) associated with a specific wallet address on the Cardano blockchain. By utilizing the Blockfrost API, the server retrieves UTxO data, which is crucial for understanding the available funds for transaction creation. The implementation ensures that the data is presented in a clear and structured format, making it easy for developers to utilize in their applications.
Provides a direct interface to the Blockfrost API for UTxO retrieval, ensuring that developers have access to the most current data.
More efficient than manual UTxO tracking, as it automates the retrieval process and formats the data for easy integration.
resolving adahandles
Medium confidenceThis capability resolves ADAHandles, which are human-readable addresses on the Cardano blockchain, into their corresponding wallet addresses. The server interacts with the Blockfrost API to perform this resolution, ensuring that users can easily convert ADAHandles into usable addresses for transactions. The implementation is designed to be fast and reliable, providing developers with a straightforward way to incorporate this functionality into their applications.
Utilizes the Blockfrost API to resolve ADAHandles quickly and accurately, enhancing user experience by simplifying address management.
More user-friendly than traditional address management methods, as it allows for easy conversion of human-readable handles.
checking stake delegation
Medium confidenceThis capability checks the stake delegation status of a specific wallet on the Cardano blockchain. By querying the Blockfrost API, the server retrieves information about the current stake pools associated with the wallet, providing users with insights into their delegation choices. The implementation is designed to efficiently handle requests and return results in a structured format, making it easy for developers to integrate this functionality into their applications.
Provides a direct interface to the Blockfrost API for checking stake delegation, ensuring that users have access to the most current delegation information.
More efficient than manual delegation checks, as it automates the retrieval process and formats the data for easy integration.
