talismansociety@talismn/balances
@talismn/balances is the core of a set of packages used to subscribe to on-chain account token balances.
A quick rundown on each package is given below.
This (the core) package:
@talismn/balances (this package) includes:
- An API which wallets / dapps can use to access balances
- An interface for balance modules to implement
- A shared database (powered by dexie) for balance modules to store balances in
- Helpers (utility functions) for balance modules to use
- Provides a plugin architecture, which is used by the balance module packages to specify their balance types
The react API for wallets & dapps:
@talismn/balances-react includes:
- React hooks for subscribing to on-chain account token balances
- (soon™): recoil atoms for on-chain account token balances
The balance modules:
@talismn/balances-default-modules
- Collates the default balance modules (which can be found below) into a single package
@talismn/substrate-native
- A balance module for substrate native tokens
- Subscribes to the
system.accountstate query balance for each token - Also subscribes to the crowdloans pallet balances
- Also subscribes to the nompools pallet balances
@talismn/substrate-orml
- A proof-of-concept balance module for ORML token pallet tokens
- Attempts to auto-detect tokens
- You should use @talismn/substrate-tokens instead
@talismn/substrate-tokens
- A balance module for substrate ORML token pallet tokens
- Supports any token which can be queried via the
tokens.accountsstate query - Requires configuration for each token (no auto-detection)
- We recommend that you use this module for ORML tokens
@talismn/substrate-assets
- A balance module for substrate assets pallet tokens
- Supports any token which can be queried via the
assets.accountstate query - Requires configuration for each token (no auto-detection)
@talismn/substrate-equilibrium
- A balance module for substrate eqBalances pallet tokens
- Used by Equilibrium and Genshiro
- Supports auto-detection
@talismn/evm-native
- A balance module for evm native tokens
@talismn/evm-erc20
- A balance module for evm erc20 tokens
The chain connectors:
@talismn/chain-connector
- A package which manages the open RPC connections to substrate chains
- Allows developers to say "Send this query to the chain with this id", without them needing to specify which RPCs to use
- Ensures that connections are only opened to the chains which are in use by the wallet/dapp
- Ensures that only one connection is open per chain
- Handles exponential backoff in the case of network failures
- Provides an interface which can be shared between a serviceworker and frontend, which enables the two to share the pool of open connections
- Provides an interface which mimics a polkadot-js
WsProvider, which can be plugged into polkadot-js to make it use the shared pool of open connections
@talismn/chain-connector-evm
- A package which manages the connections to evm chains
- Allows developers to say "Send this query to the chain with this id", without them needing to specify which RPC to use
The chaindata provider:
@talismn/chaindata-provider
- A database (powered by dexie) to store chains, evm chains and tokens in
- An interface to interact with the database
- Syncs with the list in the chaindata repository via graphql
- Supports custom (end-user-defined) chains and rpc overrides
- Provides a plugin architecture, which is used by the balance module packages to specify their token types
The remaining packages:
@talismn/connection-meta
- Contains a small db which is used to optimise network performance in the wallet.
- Two metrics are kept:
- chainPriorityRpc (the last known well-behaved RPC for a chain)
- chainBackoffInterval (the amount of time the wallet should wait before attempting to connect to a unreachable chain again)
@talismn/mutate-metadata
- A package which can splice a chain's metadata into smaller pieces
- Enables us to make state queries across many chains at once without using all of the browser's memory
@talismn/token-rates
- Fetches and stores coingecko rates for each token in the @talismn/chaindata-provider database
@talismn/util
- Utility functions shared by the other packages, as well as the wallet and the portal
