## **What is Mesh Wallet?**

Mesh Wallet provides a set of APIs to interact with the blockchain. This wallet is compatible with Mesh transaction builders.

Whether you are building a minting script, or an application that requires multi-signature, MeshWallet is all you need to get started.



What is Mesh Wallet?

## **Initialize wallet**

You can initialize Mesh Wallet with:

mnemonic phrases

private keys

Cardano CLI generated keys

address (read only wallet)

First, we initialize a Provider, which we will assign blockchainProvider to the fetcher and submitter.

## **Maestro**

`import { MaestroProvider } from '@meshsdk/core';

const blockchainProvider = new MaestroProvider({
  network: 'Preprod',
  apiKey: '<Your-API-Key>', // Get yours by visiting https://docs.gomaestro.org/docs/Getting-started/Sign-up-login.
  turboSubmit: false // Read about paid turbo transaction submission feature at https://docs.gomaestro.org/docs/Dapp%20Platform/Turbo%20Transaction.
});`

## **Blockfrost**

`import { BlockfrostProvider } from '@meshsdk/core';

const blockchainProvider = new BlockfrostProvider('<BLOCKFROST_API_KEY>');`

## **Koios**

`import { KoiosProvider } from '@meshsdk/core';

const blockchainProvider = new KoiosProvider('<api|preview|preprod|guild>', '<token>');`

## **UTxORPC**

`import { U5CProvider } from "@meshsdk/core";

const blockchainProvider = new U5CProvider({
  url: "http://localhost:5005U5c",
  headers: {
    "dmtr-api-key": "<api-key>",
  },

> });`

## **Mnemonic phrases**

We can load wallet with mnemonic phrases:


`import { MeshWallet } from '@meshsdk/core';

const wallet = new MeshWallet({
  networkId: 0, // 0: testnet, 1: mainnet
  fetcher: blockchainProvider,
  submitter: blockchainProvider,
  key: {
    type: 'mnemonic',
    words: ["solution","solution","solution","solution","solution","solution","solution","solution","solution","solution","solution","solution","solution","solution","solution","solution","solution","solution","solution","solution","solution","solution","solution","solution"],
  },
});`

With the wallet loaded, you can sign transactions, we will see how to do this in the next section, for now lets get the wallet's address:

`const address = wallet.getChangeAddress();`

## **Private keys**

We can load wallet with private keys:


`import { MeshWallet } from '@meshsdk/core';

const wallet = new MeshWallet({
  networkId: 0, // 0: testnet, 1: mainnet
  fetcher: blockchainProvider,
  submitter: blockchainProvider,
  key: {
    type: 'root',
    bech32: 'xprv1cqa46gk29plgkg98upclnjv5t425fcpl4rgf9mq2txdxuga7jfq5shk7np6l55nj00sl3m4syzna3uwgrwppdm0azgy9d8zahyf32s62klfyhe0ayyxkc7x92nv4s77fa0v25tufk9tnv7x6dgexe9kdz5gpeqgu',
  },
});`

Cardano CLI generated skeys

We can load wallet with CLI generated keys by providing the skey generated by Cardano CLI. There are two files generated by Cardano CLI, by default it is named signing.skey and stake.skey. Opening the signing.skey file it should contains:

`{
  "type": "PaymentSigningKeyShelley_ed25519",
  "description": "Payment Signing Key",
  "cborHex": "5820aaca553a7b95b38b5d9b82a5daa7a27ac8e34f3cf27152a978f4576520dd6503"
}`

## **Address**

We can load wallet with address, this is useful for read-only wallets. A read-only wallet can only query the blockchain, it cannot sign transactions. This is useful for monitoring wallets. We can load wallet with the address type:

`import { MeshWallet } from '@meshsdk/core';

const wallet = new MeshWallet({
  networkId: 0, // 0: testnet, 1: mainnet
  fetcher: blockchainProvider,
  key: {
    type: 'address',
    address: 'addr_test1qpvx0sacufuypa2k4sngk7q40zc5c4npl337uusdh64kv0uafhxhu32dys6pvn6wlw8dav6cmp4pmtv7cc3yel9uu0nq93swx9',
  },
});`






Initialize wallet

## **Generate Wallet**

You can generate deterministic keys based on the Bitcoin BIP39. These mnemonic phrases allow you to recover your wallet.

`const mnemonic = MeshWallet.brew();`

Once you have your mnemonic phrase, you can use it to generate your deterministic keys. It will typically generate a series of private keys and corresponding public keys, which you can use to manage your cryptocurrencies.

You can also generate private keys directly by adding true in the brew function.

`const privatekey = MeshWallet.brew(true);`

Generate Wallet

## **Get Balance**

Returns a list of assets in the wallet. This API will return every assets in the wallet. Each asset is an object with the following properties:

A unit is provided to display asset's name on the user interface.

A quantity is provided to display asset's quantity on the user interface.
Example:

`[
  {
    "unit": "lovelace",
    "quantity": "796105407"
  },
  {
    "unit": "0f5560dbc05282e05507aedb02d823d9d9f0e583cce579b81f9d1cd8",
    "quantity": "1"
  },
  {
    "unit": "9c8e9da7f81e3ca90485f32ebefc98137c8ac260a072a00c4aaf142d4d657368546f6b656e",
    "quantity": "2"
  },
]`


Get Balance

## **Get Change Address**

Returns an address owned by the wallet that should be used as a change address to return leftover assets during transaction creation back to the connected wallet.

Get Change Address

## **Get Collateral**

This function shall return a list of one or more UTXOs (unspent transaction outputs) controlled by the wallet that are required to reach AT LEAST the combined ADA value target specified in amount AND the best suitable to be used as collateral inputs for transactions with plutus script inputs (pure ADA-only UTXOs).

If this cannot be attained, an error message with an explanation of the blocking problem shall be returned. NOTE: wallets are free to return UTXOs that add up to a greater total ADA value than requested in the amount parameter, but wallets must never return any result where UTXOs would sum up to a smaller total ADA value, instead in a case like that an error message must be returned.

Example of a response returned by this endpoint:

`[
  {
    "input": {
      "outputIndex": 1,
      "txHash": "ff8d1e97c60989b4f...02ee937595ad741ff597af1"
    },
    "output": {
      "address": "addr_test1qzm...z0fr8c3grjmysm5e6yx",
      "amount": [ { "unit": "lovelace", "quantity": "5000000" } ]
    }
  }
]`

This API accepts the addressType parameter, where you can specify the type of address you want to get. The available options are:

payment (default)

enterprise

Get Collateral

## **Get Network ID**

Returns the network ID of the currently connected account. 0 is testnet and 1 is mainnet but other networks can possibly be returned by wallets. Those other network ID values are not governed by CIP-30. This result will stay the same unless the connected account has changed.

Get Network ID

## **Get Reward Addresses**

Returns a list of reward addresses owned by the wallet. A reward address is a stake address that is used to receive rewards from staking, generally starts from `stake` prefix. Example:


`[
  "stake_test1uzx0ksy9f4qnj2mzfdncqyjy84sszh64w43853nug5pedjgytgke9"
]`





Get Reward Addresses

## **Get Unused Addresses**

`[
  "addr_test1qzk9x08mtre4jp8f7j8zu8802...r8c3grjmys7fl22c",
  "addr_test1qrmf35xyw2petfr0e0p4at0r7...8sc3grjmysm73dk8",
  "addr_test1qq6ts58hdaasd2q78fdjj0arm...i8c3grjmys85k8mf",
]`

  {
    "input": {
      "outputIndex": 0,
      "txHash": "16dcbb1f93b4f9d5e...9106c7b121463c210ba"
    },
    "output": {
      "address": "addr_test1qzag7whju08xwrq...z0fr8c3grjmysgaw9y8",
      "amount": [
        {
          "unit": "lovelace",
          "quantity": "1314550"
        },
        {
          "unit": "f05c91a850...3d824d657368546f6b656e3032",
          "quantity": "1"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
]`

This API accepts the addressType parameter, where you can specify the type of address you want to get. The available options are:

payment (default)

enterprise



Get UTXOs

## **Sign Data**

This endpoint utilizes the [CIP-8 - Message Signing](https://cips.cardano.org/cip/CIP-8) to sign arbitrary data, to verify the data was signed by the owner of the private key.

signData takes two arguments, the first one is the payload to sign and the second one is the address (optional).

Example of a response from the endpoint:

`{
  "signature": "845846a2012...f9119a18e8977d436385cecb08",
  "key": "a4010103272006215...b81a7f6ed4fa29cc7b33186c"
}`

Continue reading this guide to [learn](https://meshjs.dev/guides/prove-wallet-ownership) how to verify the signature.



Sign Data

## **Sign Transaction**

Requests user to sign the provided transaction (tx). The wallet should ask the user for permission, and if given, try to sign the supplied body and return a signed transaction. partialSign should be true if the transaction provided requires multiple signatures.



Sign Transaction

## **Submit Transaction**

As wallets should already have this ability to submit transaction, we allow dApps to request that a transaction be sent through it. If the wallet accepts the transaction and tries to send it, it shall return the transaction ID for the dApp to track. The wallet can return error messages or failure if there was an error in sending it.

Submit Transaction

## **Create Collateral UTXO**

Collateral is used to guarantee that nodes are compensated for their work in case phase-2 validation fails. Thus, collateral is the monetary guarantee a user gives to assure that the contract has been carefully designed and thoroughly tested. The collateral amount is specified at the time of constructing the transaction. Not directly, but by adding collateral inputs to the transaction. The total balance in the UTXOs corresponding to these specially marked inputs is the transaction’s collateral amount. If the user fulfills the conditions of the guarantee, and a contract gets executed, the collateral is safe.

Example:

`const txhash = await wallet.createCollateral();`

Create Collateral UTXO

## **Get Assets**

Returns a list of assets in wallet excluding lovelace, example:
