qorechain (Python SDK)

A typed Python SDK for QoreChain — typed messages for every module, typed query clients, auto-gas, tx tracking, error decoding, block/tx search, websocket subscriptions, network presets, denom/address utilities, HD account derivation (native / EVM / SVM), post-quantum (ML-DSA-87) signing, and read clients (REST + qor_ JSON-RPC). It mirrors the QoreChain TypeScript SDK surface with idiomatic Python.

Install

pip install qorechain-sdk

Python 3.10+ is required. The package ships type hints and a py.typed marker.

Quickstart

Connect a client

from qorsdk import create_client

# Defaults to the testnet preset (localhost endpoints).
client = create_client()
print(client.network.chain_id)  # "qorechain-diana"

# Read account balances over REST.
balances = client.rest.get_all_balances("qor15yk64u7zc9g9k2yr2wmzeva5qgwxps6yjecvvu")

# Call the qor_ JSON-RPC namespace.
stats = client.qor.get_ai_stats()

# Estimate a fee (AI oracle with a deterministic static fallback).
fee = client.fees.estimate("fast")

client.close()

Mainnet (chain id qorechain-vladi) is live; select it and override the localhost defaults with your node URLs:

client = create_client(
    network="mainnet",
    endpoints={
        "rest": "https://rest.qore.network",
        "evm_rpc": "https://evm.qore.network",
    },
)
print(client.network.chain_id)  # "qorechain-vladi"

Derive accounts

from qorsdk import (
    generate_mnemonic,
    derive_native_account,
    derive_evm_account,
    derive_svm_account,
)

mnemonic = generate_mnemonic()  # 12 words; use generate_mnemonic(256) for 24

native = derive_native_account(mnemonic, 0)  # qor1...
evm = derive_evm_account(mnemonic, 0)        # 0x... (EIP-55 checksummed)
svm = derive_svm_account(mnemonic, 0)        # base58 ed25519 pubkey

print(native.address, evm.address, svm.address)

Derivation schemes:

The mnemonic is validated (words and checksum) before any key is derived, so a typo'd phrase raises rather than silently producing a wrong account.

Denomination math

from qorsdk import to_base, from_base

to_base("1.5")        # "1500000"  (QOR -> uqor, exponent 6)
from_base("1500000")  # "1.5"

All conversions use integer arithmetic — never floats — so they are exact.

Post-quantum signing (ML-DSA-87 / Dilithium-5)

from qorsdk import (
    generate_pqc_keypair,
    pqc_sign,
    pqc_verify,
    build_hybrid_signature_extension,
    ALGORITHM_DILITHIUM5,
)

kp = generate_pqc_keypair()           # public 2592 B, secret 4896 B
sig = pqc_sign(kp.secret_key, b"msg") # signature 4627 B
assert pqc_verify(kp.public_key, b"msg", sig)

# Build the on-chain hybrid-signature extension (base64-encoded, Go-JSON shape).
ext = build_hybrid_signature_extension(ALGORITHM_DILITHIUM5, sig, kp.public_key)

Async clients

import asyncio
from qorsdk import AsyncRestClient, AsyncQorClient

async def main():
    async with AsyncRestClient("http://localhost:1317") as rest:
        await rest.get_ai_stats()
    async with AsyncQorClient("http://localhost:8545") as qor:
        await qor.get_tokenomics_overview()

asyncio.run(main())

Typed messages for every module

msg.<module>.<name>(...) builds any of the chain's 49 custom messages (across amm / bridge / rdk / multilayer / pqc / svm / lightnode / license / abstractaccount / crossvm / rlconsensus) plus the standard Cosmos modules (bank / staking / distribution / gov / authz / feegrant / ibc). Each returns a Msg ({type_url, value}) you pass to send_messages or the hybrid PQC path.

from cosmpy.protos.cosmos.base.v1beta1.coin_pb2 import Coin
from qorsdk import msg, send_messages, build_hybrid_tx, generate_pqc_keypair

swap = msg.amm.swap_exact_in(
    sender=native.address,
    pool_id=1,
    token_in=Coin(denom="uqor", amount="1000000"),
    denom_out="uusdc",
    min_out="990000",
)
delegate = msg.staking.delegate(delegator_address=native.address, validator_address="qorvaloper1...")

# Classical tx carrying any messages.
built = send_messages(
    account=native, messages=[swap, delegate],
    chain_id="qorechain-diana", account_number=0, sequence=0,
    fee={"amount": [{"denom": "uqor", "amount": "5000"}], "gas": "200000"},
)

# Or a quantum-safe hybrid (classical + ML-DSA-87) tx over the same messages.
hybrid = build_hybrid_tx(
    account=native, pqc_keypair=generate_pqc_keypair(), messages=[swap],
    fee={"amount": [{"denom": "uqor", "amount": "5000"}], "gas": "200000"},
    chain_id="qorechain-diana", account_number=0, sequence=0,
)

The qorechain_registry() type-URL → proto map and decode_any(type_url, value) let you parse any supported message back into a typed object.

Typed query clients (gRPC)

Modules with a Query service (crossvm, lightnode, pqc, qca, reputation, rlconsensus, svm) expose typed callers over a gRPC channel:

from qorsdk import connect_query_clients

with connect_query_clients("localhost:9090") as q:
    res = q.crossvm.message("msg-123")     # -> QueryMessageResponse
    node = q.lightnode.light_node(native.address)
    acct = q.pqc.account(native.address)

Auto-gas, errors, tracking, search

from qorsdk import (
    auto_fee, GasPrice, calculate_fee,        # gas
    decode_tx_error, QoreTxError,             # errors
    wait_for_tx, broadcast_and_wait, with_retry,  # tracking
    get_tx, get_block, search_txs, build_events_query,  # search
)

# Simulate -> gas_used x 1.4 x 0.025uqor.
fee = auto_fee("http://localhost:1317", built)
calculate_fee(200000, GasPrice.from_string("0.025uqor"))

# Wait for inclusion; raises a typed QoreTxError on a non-zero code.
included = wait_for_tx(client.rest, "TXHASH")

search_txs(client.rest, {"message.sender": native.address}, limit=20, order_by="desc")

Websocket subscriptions

from qorsdk import SubscriptionClient

async def run():
    sub = await SubscriptionClient.connect("http://localhost:26657")
    async def on_block(ev): print("block", ev)
    unsubscribe = await sub.subscribe_new_blocks(on_block)
    await sub.subscribe_tx({"message.sender": native.address}, lambda ev: ...)
    # ... later ...
    await unsubscribe()
    await sub.close()

Utilities

from qorsdk import (
    sha256_hex, keccak256_hex, ripemd160_hex,
    parse_units, format_units,
    is_valid_evm_address, is_valid_svm_address, to_checksum_address,
)

parse_units("1.5", 18)                 # 1500000000000000000
format_units(1500000000000000000, 18)  # "1.5"
to_checksum_address("0x5aaeb6053f3e94c9b9a09f33669435e7ef1beaed")

Regenerating protobuf code (maintainers)

The generated protobuf modules under src/qorechain/proto/ are committed, so users never run protoc. To regenerate after a proto change (requires buf):

bash scripts/codegen-py.sh

It runs buf generate (public-registry protocolbuffers/python + pyi plugins, pinned to the protobuf 5.29.x line), rewrites dependency imports to cosmpy's bundled protos so the gencode shares one descriptor pool, and writes package __init__.py files.

Out of scope (use a dedicated library)

Browser-wallet adapters (Keplr / MetaMask / Phantom) and viem / @solana/web3.js -style EVM/SVM clients are intentionally not part of this SDK — they are JS/browser-specific. In Python, talk to the EVM with web3.py and to the SVM with solana-py, pointing them at the network's evm_rpc / svm_rpc endpoints. This SDK covers the native (Cosmos-SDK) chain surface end to end.
