saline-sdk 0.1.0

Official SDK for interacting with the Saline blockchain network

Saline SDK

Official Python SDK for interacting with the Saline blockchain network.

This is under active development. Both bugs and breaking changes can occur.

Overview

The Saline SDK provides a comprehensive, Web3-like interface for building applications on the Saline blockchain. It simplifies account management, transaction creation, signing, and interaction with Saline nodes.

Features

• Comprehensive Account Management: Create, import, and manage accounts with BLS key pairs
• Transaction Management: Create, sign, and send transactions with ease
• RPC Client: Interact with Saline nodes via secure JSON-RPC
• Async Support: Full asynchronous API for high-performance applications
• Token Support: Built-in support for USDC, BTC, ETH, and other tokens
• Web3-like Interface: Familiar API for blockchain developers

Installation

Requires Python 3.12+

# Install using pip
pip install saline-sdk

# Or install using Poetry
poetry add saline-sdk

See the :doc:docs/installation guide for development setup.

Quick Start

This provides a brief overview. See the :doc:docs/quickstart guide and :doc:docs/examples for more details.

1. Initialize the Client

Connect to a running Saline node.

from saline_sdk.rpc.client import Client

rpc_url = \"https://node0.try-saline.com\" # Your node's RPC endpoint
client = Client(http_url=rpc_url)

try:
    status = client.get_status()
    print(f\"Connected to Saline node: {status['node_info']['network']}!\")
except Exception as e:
    print(f\"Connection failed: {e}\")

2. Manage Accounts

Create or load accounts to manage keys.

from saline_sdk.account import Account

# Create a new root account
root_account = Account.create()
print(f\"IMPORTANT: Save this mnemonic securely: {root_account.mnemonic}\")

# Load an existing account
# saved_mnemonic = \"your twelve word mnemonic phrase...\"
# root_account = Account.from_mnemonic(saved_mnemonic)

# Derive subaccounts (wallets)
wallet1 = root_account.create_subaccount(label=\"wallet1\")
print(f\"Created wallet1 with public key: {wallet1.public_key}\")

3. Check Balances

Query the balance of a specific account (requires async).

import asyncio

# Assume 'client' and 'wallet1' are initialized from previous steps

async def check_wallet_balance(client: Client, wallet: Account):
    address = wallet.public_key
    print(f\"Checking balance for {address[:10]}...\")
    try:
        wallet_info = await client.get_wallet_info_async(address)
        balances = wallet_info.get('balances', []) if wallet_info else []
        print(f\"Balances: {balances}\")
    except Exception as e:
        print(f\"Could not get balance: {e}\")

# To run:
# asyncio.run(check_wallet_balance(client, wallet1))

4. Use the Testnet Faucet

Obtain test tokens on a test network (requires async).

import asyncio
from saline_sdk.rpc.testnet.faucet import top_up

# Assume 'client' and 'wallet1' are initialized

async def fund_wallet(client: Client, wallet: Account):
    print(f\"Requesting testnet tokens for {wallet.public_key[:10]}...\")
    try:
        await top_up(account=wallet, client=client)
        print(\"Faucet request submitted. Check balance after a few seconds.\")
    except Exception as e:
        print(f\"Faucet top_up failed: {e}\")

# To run:
# asyncio.run(fund_wallet(client, wallet1))

5. Create and Send a Transaction

Build, sign, and submit a transaction (requires async).

import asyncio
import json
from saline_sdk.transaction.bindings import Transaction, TransferFunds, NonEmpty
from saline_sdk.transaction.tx import prepareSimpleTx

# Assume 'client' and 'wallet1' (sender) are initialized and funded

async def send_funds(client: Client, sender_wallet: Account, recipient_pk: str, token: str, amount: int):
    print(f\"Preparing to send {amount} {token} from {sender_wallet.public_key[:10]}... to {recipient_pk[:10]}...\")
    instruction = TransferFunds(
        source=sender_wallet.public_key,
        target=recipient_pk,
        funds={token: amount}
    )
    tx = Transaction(instructions=NonEmpty.from_list([instruction]))

    # Sign using the sender's wallet
    signed_tx = prepareSimpleTx(sender_wallet, tx)

    # Submit
    try:
        result = await client.tx_commit(signed_tx)
        print(f\"Transaction submitted! Result: {json.dumps(result)}\")
    except Exception as e:
        print(f\"Transaction submission failed: {e}\")

# Example Run (replace recipient_pk)
# recipient_public_key = \"pk_of_recipient_wallet...\"
# asyncio.run(send_funds(client, wallet1, recipient_public_key, \"USDC\", 50))

Repl:

poetry run sphinx-autobuild . _build/html --port 8001 --open-browser

Auto-generated Modules

The bindings.py module is auto-generated from the Saline codebase and should not be modified directly. To provide documentation for this module, we use a separate file bindings_docstrings.py that contains docstrings that are applied at documentation build time.

This approach allows us to maintain proper documentation without modifying the auto-generated code. When bindings.py is regenerated, only the bindings_docstrings.py file needs to be updated to reflect any changes in the API.

To update the documentation for the bindings module:

1. Update the docstrings in saline_sdk/transaction/bindings_docstrings.py
2. The Sphinx extension in docs/conf.py will automatically apply these docstrings when generating documentation
