Nocturn Crypto Wallet

Introduction

Nocturn is a lightweight Python-based cryptocurrency wallet supporting Ethereum (ETH), Binance Smart Chain (BSC), and Polygon (POL). It enables users to manage their wallets, check balances, send transactions, and retrieve transaction history using public blockchain RPC nodes.

The wallet supports both mainnet and testnet environments and can be accessed using either a mnemonic phrase or a private key.

Wallet Class

The Wallet class is the primary interface for managing a wallet. It supports mnemonic phrase-based wallets and private key-based wallets.

Initialization

wallet = Wallet(ETHERSCAN_API_KEY="your_api_key", mnemonic_phrase="your mnemonic phrase")

or

wallet = Wallet(ETHERSCAN_API_KEY="your_api_key", private_key="your private key")

Constructor Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
ETHERSCAN_API_KEY	str	API key for fetching transaction history.
mnemonic_phrase	str (optional)	Mnemonic phrase to generate a wallet.
private_key	str (optional)	Private key to restore an existing wallet.
rpc_endpoints	dict (optional)	Custom RPC endpoints for different chains.

Available Methods

1. fetch_balance(chain, testnet=False)

Fetches the balance of the wallet in Wei.

balance = wallet.fetch_balance("eth")
print(balance)  # Returns balance in Wei

Parameter	Type	Description
chain	str	Blockchain to fetch balance from (eth, bsc, pol).
testnet	bool (optional)	Fetch from testnet if True, default is False.

Returns: int (balance in Wei).

---

2. get_transaction_history(chain, page=1, testnet=False, offset=0)

Fetches transaction history from Etherscan-compatible APIs.

transactions = wallet.get_transaction_history("eth", page=1)

Parameter	Type	Description
chain	str	Blockchain (eth, bsc, pol).
page	int (optional)	Page number for pagination. Default is 1.
testnet	bool (optional)	Fetch from testnet if True.
offset	int (optional)	Number of transactions to skip. Default is 0.

Returns: list of transaction objects.

---

3. send_crypto(to_address, amount, chain, testnet=False, gas_price=None)

Sends cryptocurrency to a recipient.

tx = wallet.send_crypto("0xRecipientAddress", Web3.to_wei(0.01, "ether"), "eth")
print(tx)  # Returns transaction details

Parameter	Type	Description
to_address	str	Recipient’s wallet address.
amount	int	Amount to send (in Wei).
chain	str	Blockchain (eth, bsc, pol).
testnet	bool (optional)	Send on testnet if True.
gas_price	int (optional)	Custom gas price in Wei. If None, fetches from the network.

Returns: dict containing transaction details including:

• Transaction hash (tx_hash)
• Sender and recipient addresses
• Gas limit, gas price, and total gas fee
• Amount sent and remaining balance

---

4. preview_transaction(to_address, amount, chain, testnet=False, gas_price=None)

Simulates a transaction before sending.

preview = wallet.preview_transaction("0xRecipientAddress", Web3.to_wei(0.01, "ether"), "eth")
print(preview)

Parameter	Type	Description
to_address	str	Recipient’s wallet address.
amount	int	Amount to send (in Wei).
chain	str	Blockchain (eth, bsc, pol).
testnet	bool (optional)	Send on testnet if True.
gas_price	int (optional)	Custom gas price in Wei.

Returns: dict with transaction details including:

• Estimated gas fee
• Total cost (amount + gas fee)
• Whether the wallet has enough balance (can_proceed)

Converts ETH to Wei.

wei_value = Nocturn.to_wei(0.01)  

Returns: int (Wei equivalent).

---

2. from_wei(amount)

Converts Wei to ETH.

eth_value = Nocturn.from_wei(10000000000000000)  

Returns: float (ETH equivalent).

---

3. to_currency(amount, currency="usd")

Converts ETH to another currency using Coingecko API.

usd_value = Nocturn.to_currency(1, "usd")  

Returns: float (value in the requested currency).

---

4. from_currency(amount, currency="usd")

Converts a currency (e.g., USD) to ETH.

eth_amount = Nocturn.from_currency(2000, "usd")  

Returns: float (ETH equivalent).

---

5. fetch_balance(address, rpc_endpoint)

Fetches balance for a given wallet address.

balance = Nocturn.fetch_balance("0xYourWalletAddress", "https://eth.meowrpc.com")

Returns: int (balance in Wei).

---

6. get_transaction_history(address, chain, API_KEY, page, testnet=False, offset=0)

Fetches transaction history for any address.

transactions = Nocturn.get_transaction_history("0xYourWalletAddress", "eth", "your_api_key", 1)

Returns: list of transaction objects.

---

7. send_crypto(private_key, to_address, amount, rpc_endpoint, gas_price=None)

Sends cryptocurrency from a private key.

tx = Nocturn.send_crypto("your-private-key", "0xRecipientAddress", Web3.to_wei(0.01, "ether"), "https://eth.meowrpc.com")

Returns: dict containing transaction details.
