Abstract

We define the BSV Blockchain's standard wallet-to-application interface. This interface defines a robust and secure communication protocol between BSV wallets and applications. This protocol, built on the MetaNet architectural principles, aims to standardize the interaction between wallets and decentralized applications in the BSV ecosystem. The interface is designed to be vendor-neutral, supporting a wide range of implementations, ensuring interoperability, and promoting openness across different wallet and app vendors.

Motivation

Computing has long been subject to shortfalls in the areas of information centralization and architectural cross-compatibility. Users on the internet struggle with complex and insecure authentication systems which leave them vulnerable and leak their data. Websites rely on advertising to monetize their offerings, but ads warp the incentives of platforms and creators in ways that ultimately harm everyone involved. By defining a standard interface by which users can identify themselves, protect their data and engage in e-commerce with Bitcoin, this standard offers a solution to problems that have long plagued the existing model.

Primary Objectives

1. Standardization: The interface provides a consistent and standardized API that ensures that any application can integrate with any compliant wallet without needing custom adaptations.

2. Vendor-Neutrality: The interface abstracts the underlying wallet implementation, allowing applications to work seamlessly with wallets from different vendors.

3. Open Specification: The interface is openly documented, encouraging community adoption, and providing a bedrock foundation atop which anyone can build with confidence, knowing the interface will remain constant.

4. Security and Privacy: Emphasizing secure handling of keys, transactions, and data through the use of secure cryptographic protocols and minimal exposure of sensitive information.

5. Comprehensive Functionality: The interface covers a broad range of functionalities, from transaction creation, signing, and broadcasting, to identity management, encryption, and digital signatures.

Foundational Requirements

SECTION TL;DR: We use the BSV Blockchain. We use the secp256k1 elliptic curve. We use compressed, DER-formatted public keys. We use BKDS key derivation. We use BRC-43 for security levels, protocol IDs, key IDs, and counterparties (with BRC-44 protocols reserved for internal wallet use). We subscribe to the BRC-45 idea that "Outputs are tokens". We use BRC-46 output baskets for tracking tokens. For categorization and filtering purposes, we allow transactions to be given a set of labels, and outputs to be given a set of tags. We utilize the BRC-67 rules for SPV validation. We use the BEEF standard outlined in BRC-62 for representing transactions. For encryption and decryption, we use the methods described in BRC-2. For creating digital signatures, we use the methods described in BRC-3. For HMACs BRC-56, we derive symmetric keys as in BRC-2, but then use them for HMAC operations instead of AES-GCM encryption. For the digital certificate structure and field encryption scheme, we use BRC-52. For internalizing payment outputs that increase the user's wallet balance, we employ the key derivation protocol described within BRC-29. For revealing key linkages, we employ the two methods described within BRC-69, and we protect this information as described in BRC-72. We incorporate BRC-97 for defining flexible proof-type fields to support emerging zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) schemes in specific key linkage revelations. We reserve specific protocol identifiers as described in BRC-98 to ensure forward compatibility with future permissioned protocols. Similarly, we reserve basket identifiers as outlined in BRC-99 to accommodate evolving wallet-managed asset permission schemes. These foundational prerequisites allow us to fully define and specify the behavior and functionality of the digital wallet system, ensuring future extensibility and compatibility across the BSV ecosystem.

Section Overview

The Wallet Interface is built upon a set of essential foundational standards and protocols that define the underlying architecture, cryptographic operations, and key management systems required for a robust and coherent wallet-to-application interface within the BSV ecosystem. This section thoroughly explains these foundational requirements, incorporating relevant content from the preceding BRCs to provide a holistic understanding of the interface's structure.

1. Key Derivation using BKDS with BRC-42

At the heart of the Wallet Interface lies the BRC-42: BSV Key Derivation Scheme. This scheme defines how keys are derived between two interacting parties. BKDS leverages the secp256k1 elliptic curve and enables participants to derive multiple unique public-private key pairs from a shared master key. All cryptographic operations, including key derivation and identity handling, adhere to the BKDS as defined in BRC-42. This specification does not support legacy key derivation schemes like BIP32 due to the foundational nature of BKDS in ensuring compatibility, privacy, and security across the BSV ecosystem. Wallets implementing this interface must migrate to BKDS and cannot rely on older derivation schemes.

Identity Keys:

• Each wallet has an everyday master private key and a corresponding master public key derived from the secp256k1 elliptic curve. The public key is known as the "identity key".

• Additionally, there's a whole secondary "privileged mode" keyring for sensitive operations, allowing these privileged keys to be treated with higher security than the user's everyday keyring.

Key Derivation Process:

• When deriving a key for a payment or exchange, the sender computes an elliptic curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) shared secret using their private key and the recipient's public key.

• The shared secret is then used to generate a scalar through HMAC and convert it to a point on the elliptic curve.

• This point is combined with the recipient's master public key to produce a child public key.

Key Privacy:

• No information about the derived private key is exposed until actually used. This ensures that only the recipient can derive the private key corresponding to the public key provided by the sender.

Expanding Key Universes:

• With BKDS, wallets can create a virtually unlimited number of unique key pairs through simple modifications of the derivation inputs (e.g., invoice numbers). This open-ended invoice numbering scheme is baked into the Wallet Interface, facilitating custom, flexible key derivation for transactions, signatures, and encryption.

2. Security Levels and Protocol IDs with BRC-43

BRC-43 plays a vital role in organizing how keys are used and accessed in the wallet. This standard introduces Security Levels, Protocol IDs, Key IDs, and Counterparties rules that govern key derivation, permissions, and data access within standard wallets.

Security Levels:

• Security levels determine the required user permissions and access controls for a derived key:

  • Level 0: No restrictions, open access.

  • Level 1: Requires a level of user authorization that applies across all counterparties who use the same protocol.

  • Level 2: Restricts key usage to specific counterparties and requires individual permission for each.

Protocol IDs & Key IDs:

• Protocol IDs further define the usage context for a derived key, such as "Document Signing" or "Encryption".

• A Key ID is a unique identifier that differentiates specific keys under the same Protocol ID, allowing numerous derived keys under the same context but with different purposes.

Counterparties:

• Counterparties are entities with whom keys are shared (sender, receiver, etc.). For instance, the interface allows single-party self-derivations where a sender and receiver are the same (useful for internal key operations) and anyone-derivations denoted by the private key 1 (for public operations).

Permission System:

• Permission grants are managed transparently by the wallet and include expiration times, user notifications, and granularity based on the security level. This ensures that applications receive only the delineated keys they need and no more.

3. Reserved Internal Protocols with BRC-44

BRC-44 discusses Admin-reserved and Prohibited Key Derivation Protocols that are exclusive to administrative use by the wallet. These reserved protocols prevent application access to key derivation operations that are inherently internal and crucial to wallet security and integrity.

Internal Protocol Guidelines:

• Any protocol ID that begins with admin is off-limits for external applications.

• The Wallet Interface requires that this reserved protocol space is never exposed to or invoked by third-party applications, maintaining the separation between user-facing operations and internal wallet functionalities.

4. Tokenization of UTXOs with BRC-45

BRC-45 defines UTXOs as Tokens, asserting that Unspent Transaction Outputs (UTXOs) are the base units of tokenization within Bitcoin. This principle is integral to the interface, where UTXOs serve as tokens that can be managed within wallets using custom baskets, as discussed below.

Transaction Outputs as Tokens:

• UTXOs represent discrete token units that can be transferred directly from sender to recipient. Their validity and legitimacy can be independently verified by anyone receiving the transaction.

• The Wallet Interface relies on the UTXO model to enhance scalability, ensure decentralization, and promote trustlessness by enabling transparent and verifiable transactions without reliance on intermediaries.

Simplified Payment Verification (SPV):

• The wallet interface integrates transaction validation protocols that follow BRC-67's SPV method. By validating UTXOs through matching txid and proof inclusion within the blockchain, wallets can quickly confirm that tokens are genuine without needing the entire chain. This eliminates the reliance on tracing tokens back to their genesis, addressing the Back To Genesis (BTG) problem. Instead, the Wallet Interface ensures validity and provenance by leveraging SPV proofs and state-based validation, allowing efficient token verification while maintaining scalability, reducing computational overhead, and preserving user privacy. As a result, tokens can be securely and rapidly transacted without the inefficiencies and complexities historically associated with the BTG issue.

5. Tracking and Managing Outputs with BRC-46

To facilitate complex tracking and interaction with UTXOs, BRC-46 establishes Wallet Transaction Output Tracking (Output Baskets) within the interface.

Baskets:

• Baskets are conceptual containers for grouping UTXOs, creating an easy-to-manage structure for tracking specific outputs used across applications or protocols.

• A wallet must support basket management, including returning transaction outputs from a given basket, customizing outputs with relevant instructions, and spending or relinquishing them.

Permissions:

• Like with key derivation, permissioning is enforced for applications executing operations involving baskets. The security model here follows from BRC-43, ensuring consistency across the system.
• Wallets must ensure that users have given consent before listing the outputs from a given basket, creating transactions that insert outputs into a basket, or internalizing transactions that facilitate output insertion into baskets.

6. Transaction Verification with BRC-67 and BRC-62

Authenticated transaction verification is critical in wallet operations, and this builds, in part, on BRC-67: Simplified Payment Verification and BRC-62: Background Evaluation Extended Format (BEEF) Transactions.

BEEF Data Structure:

• The BEEF format specified in BRC-62 is optimized for SPV and designed for efficient data transmission, focusing on economy of information while retaining verification integrity.
• Wallets should utilize BEEF when constructing, communicating, and validating transactions. BEEF supports streaming validation, enabling the wallet to initiate transaction verification as soon as it starts receiving the data.

Verification Steps:

• BRC-67 outlines the steps to be undertaken for verifying a transaction, including script validation, fee checking, sequence, and locktime examination. These checks ensure that transactions processed through the wallet interface are legitimate and contextually accurate.

SPV Empowerment:

• The SPV model allows lightweight wallet clients to verify the chain, making them resistant to fraud while not requiring them to store or access all blockchain data.

7. Data Security with BRC-2 for Encryption and Decryption

Security is paramount in the Wallet Interface, and BRC-2 defines Encryption and Decryption operations encapsulated within the interface's cryptographic functionality.

AES-256-GCM Encryption:

• Wallets employ AES-256-GCM for symmetric encryption, where the derived shared secret between the sender's and recipient's child keys becomes the basis for the encryption key.

Encryption & Decryption Process:

• Wallets use their private keys and their counterparty's public keys (derived through BKDS) to encrypt data under a given protocol ID and key ID. Similarly, upon receipt, the recipient decrypts the data using their private key combined with the sender's public key.

Confidentiality Assurance:

• Encryption through this interface ensures the confidentiality of transmitted data and can be applied for user-specific actions like private document exchange (shielded with encryption keys derived from BKDS).

8. Authorized Digital Signatures with BRC-3

The Wallet Interface supports digital signing functionalities defined in BRC-3: Digital Signature Creation and Verification.

Digital Signature Process:

• BRC-3 mandates use of ECDSA over secp256k1 keys.
• Derived child keys (from BKDS) are used to sign data based on the security levels, protocol IDs, and key IDs defined in BRC-43.

Private & Public Signatures:

• Wallets can create private digital signatures intended for a specified receiver, by naming them as a counterparty.

• It's also possible to create publicly verifiable signatures, simply by naming anyone as the counterparty.

Verification:

• The signature is verifiable by the recipient using derived public keys. The recipient uses BRC-43 mechanics to derive the corresponding public key and validates the signature using this key over the provided data.

9. Identity Certificates and Selective Revelation with BRC-52

BRC-52 defines Identity Certificates, which incorporate selective revelation protocols that wallets must support.

Certificate Structure:

• Identity certificates encapsulate a subject's identity information, certified by a trusted entity, with fields selectively encryptable to preserve user privacy.

Selective Revelation:

• Wallets must facilitate keyring management for applications to reveal or withhold certificate fields selectively. The wallet keeps a copy of the master keyring, transmitting only the necessary revelation keys to authorized parties in an encrypted form.

Revocation Mechanism:

• Identity certificate revocation is implemented via UTXO tracking. If the UTXO tied to a revocation outpoint is spent, everyone considers the certificate invalid—this adds an additional layer of trust and decentralized authority, depending on the constraints placed upon the UTXO.

10. Payment Internalization with BRC-29

The Wallet Interface incorporates support for BRC-29: Simple Authenticated BSV P2PKH Payment Protocol, which standardizes how payments are derived, handled, and internalized within the wallet.

Payment Key Derivation:

• BKDS Integration: Payments utilize keys derived through BKDS. They are based on a combination of transaction-specific data (such as a unique derivation prefix) and counterparty public keys. The derived keys are used to generate P2PKH scripts, ensuring that only the intended recipient can derive the corresponding private keys for spending.

Internalization Process:

• Decoding and Deriving Keys: Upon receiving a payment message, the wallet decodes the message, derives the necessary private keys using the provided derivationPrefix and derivationSuffix, checks the scripts match, and processes the UTXOs.

• Baskets and Custom Instructions: Non-P2PKH outputs with custom scripts can be directed into specific baskets, enabling organized tracking within the wallet. Custom instructions attached to UTXOs are also stored and can be used by applications for token history tracking or future spending.

• SPV Verification: Regardless of whether a payment increments a user's wallet balance via BRC-29, inserts outputs into custom baskets with tags and custom instructions, or both, the wallet always employs BRC-67 to confirm the transaction's validity according to the rules of SPV.

Flexible Payment Handling:

• Multiple Outputs and Transactions: BRC-29 supports handling multiple outputs and even transactions within a single "payment." Each transaction output can be individually indexed with a unique derivation suffix, allowing the wallet to differentiate and manage multiple outputs efficiently, while all outputs within one given payment share a common derivation prefix.

11. Auditability and Key Linkage Revelations with BRC-69 and BRC-72

The Wallet Interface incorporates methods to enhance transparency and auditability through BRC-69: Revealing Key Linkages, while ensuring the protection of sensitive data during transit with BRC-72: Protecting BRC-69 Key Linkage Information in Transit.

Key Linkage Revelations:

• BKDS Based Key Linkage: BRC-69 outlines two methods for revealing key linkages from BKDS derived keys. The first method allows wallets to reveal a root ECDH shared secret between a user's identity key and another counterparty's key, enabling anyone to link all interactions between them. The second method reveals the specific key offset for individual derived child keys, enabling audit trails while preserving privacy in other contexts.

Protection of Linkage Information:

• BRC-72 Integration: Protecting sensitive linkage data is paramount. BRC-72 specifies mechanisms for encrypting key linkage revelations when they are in transit. This encryption is done using the BRC-2 AES-256-GCM method, ensuring that only authorized verifiers (recipients) can decrypt and access the linkage data. This preserves privacy and security, even when key linkages must be revealed for audit or verification purposes.
• Additionally, BRC-94 proofs help overcome the limitations described in BRC-93. BRC-97 allows for future zero-knowledge proof types to be used in the context of specific key linkage revelation as technology develops.

The foundational BRCs integrated into this Wallet Interface ensure security, scalability, and flexibility across operations performed within the BSV ecosystem. These frameworks from key derivation, rigorous cryptographic principles, selective identity verification, tokenization, secure payments, and audit trails through linkage revelations all combine to form a robust and future-proof digital wallet architecture. The next section defines the high-level structure of the wallet interface.

Interface Structure

The interface comprises numerous methods that cater to different functional areas related to wallet operations and application needs. The methods are grouped for easier understanding:

Transaction Operations:

• Creation: The createAction method creates a new Action, which is effectively a Bitcoin transaction augmented with descriptive metadata and optional categorization (labels). This method can either fully construct and sign a transaction or return a "signableTransaction" reference if some inputs must be signed or processed later. The method always requires at least one input or one output to produce a valid transaction; otherwise, it must return an error. The minimum requirements is that at least one input or one output must be specified. If only description is provided and no inputs and no outputs are given, the wallet must return an error, since a transaction cannot be constructed. If inputs are provided, the wallet requires inputBEEF to supply context and validation data for these inputs. If both inputBEEF and a fully prepared set of inputs are provided, inputBEEF should provide SPV and contextual information about these inputs. The two are complementary: inputs define the UTXOs being consumed, and inputBEEF provides the transaction inclusion proofs or data needed for validation. Both must not conflict. If a conflict is detected, the wallet should return an error. Every input requires an inputDescription. This string documents why a particular UTXO was chosen or what it represents. This field is required to ensure proper user-level record-keeping and transparency. If basket is not provided for an output, that output is considered untracked by the wallet. It will not appear in listOutputs, and the wallet does not maintain any metadata about it. Baskets are used for grouping UTXOs for later retrieval, filtering, and permissioned operations.

• Signing: signAction allows for signing and processing previously created transactions from the createAction method.

• Aborting: abortAction facilitates the cancellation of transactions that have not yet been completed.

• Internalization: internalizeAction enables wallets to accept and manage incoming transactions by parsing, tagging, and organizing outputs.

• Listing: listActions and listOutputs allow querying transactions and outputs based on specific criteria like labels, baskets, and tags. Labels can be attached to transactions to facilitate discovery via listActions and tags can be attached to outputs to similarly facilitate discovery via listOutputs. They are purely organizational tools and cannot be used as triggers or conditional hooks for other wallet operations. They serve only for later searching and categorizing actions.

• Relinquishment: relinquishOutput releases an output from a basket tracked by the wallet, even if it has yet to be spent.

• Pre-Built Transactions: If you already have a fully constructed transaction in BEEF format and simply need to internalize it into the wallet, internalizeAction is the appropriate method. createAction is meant for constructing new transactions within the wallet, not for just adding an existing transaction.

• Tags vs. Labels: Transaction-level labels categorize entire transactions (Actions) and are used with listActions. Output-level tags categorize individual outputs and are used with listOutputs. Both are organizational metadata fields and do not trigger special wallet logic or external processes. They exist solely for searching, filtering, and organizing data.

Public Key Management:

• Key Retrieval: getPublicKey facilitates the retrieval of public keys, be they derived keys based on protocols or the user's main identity keys.

• Key Linkage: Methods revealCounterpartyKeyLinkage and revealSpecificKeyLinkage disclose key relationships, as specified in BRC-69, with additional support for future zero-knowledge proof schemes outlined in BRC-97. These are essential for identity verification and the auditing of interactions between parties.

Cryptography Operations:

• Encryption/Decryption: encrypt and decrypt methods implement secure encryption and decryption of data using derived keys and consistent protocol definitions, enabling private exchanges of information between counterparties.

• HMAC Operations: createHmac and verifyHmac allow for the creation and verification of Hash-based Message Authentication Codes (HMAC) to ensure data integrity.

• Signatures: createSignature and verifySignature enable the creation and verification of digital signatures, both public and private, essential for validating the authenticity of transactions, documents, and data.

Identity and Certificate Management:

• Certificate Acquisition: acquireCertificate allows the wallet to obtain identity certificates, either by directly saving them or through a standardized issuance protocol. Conversely, relinquishCertificate allows an old certificate to be removed.

• Certificate Listing and Discovery: listCertificates, discoverByIdentityKey, and discoverByAttributes enable querying of identity certificates owned by the user or others based on identity keys or specific attributes.

• Proving Identity Certificates: proveCertificate leverages selective revelation protocols defined in BRC-52 while integrating future-proof proof schemes from BRC-97. This provides enhanced flexibility and enables users to securely prove their identity or certified attributes to third parties when required.

Blockchain and Network Data:

• Blockchain Height: getHeight retrieves the current height of the blockchain.

• Merkle Root Retrieval: getMerkleRootForHeight retrieves the Merkle root at a specific block height.

• Network and Version Information: getNetwork and getVersion retrieve information about the network (mainnet or testnet) and the wallet's version.

Authentication:

• User Authentication: isAuthenticated checks the user's authentication status, ensuring they've set up their wallet before operations are attempted.

• Authentication Wait: waitForAuthentication waits for the user to complete authentication and returns once the wallet has been fully set up.

Data Types and Constraints

To ensure consistency and prevent errors, the interface defines various data types and associated constraints. A few key examples include:

Boolean Types:

• BooleanDefaultFalse: Defaults to false if not provided.

• BooleanDefaultTrue: Defaults to true if not provided.

Integer Types:

• Byte: An integer between 0 and 255.

• PositiveIntegerOrZero: A non-negative integer with an upper bound of 2^32 - 1.

• PositiveIntegerMax10: A positive integer between 1 and 10.

• PositiveIntegerDefault10Max10000: A positive integer that defaults to 10, and has an upper bound of 10000.

• SatoshiValue: Represents a value in Satoshis, ranging between 1 and 2.1 * 10^15.

String Types:

• ISOTimestampString: Represents an ISO 8601 format timestamp.

• HexString: A string containing hexadecimal characters.

• Base64String: A string in standard base64 encoded format.

• Specialized Strings: Defined for specific fields, including transactions, descriptions, version strings, certificate field names, etc.

Error Handling and Validation

Errors are raised using a uniform structure containing:

• status: Denotes the presence of a failure (always "error").

• code: A short machine-readable string representing the specific error or fault.

• description: A human-readable explanation of the error.

• context: (Optional) Additional contextual data relevant to the error---often binary or debug information.

When errors occur, they must be communicated and thrown such that they preserve these structural elements. Specific instantiations or realizations of this interface, comprising APIs or transport mechanisms for messages between wallets and applications, must specify how these errors are communicated.

Recommended Validation Steps:

Wallets must apply all specified rules and logical validation procedures to all methods within the specification. For example, in the case of createAction, wallets should:

• Verify that the required fields (description plus at least one input or one output) are present.

• Check that if inputs are provided, the inputDescription field is also provided for each input.

• Validate that if inputBEEF is provided, it corresponds logically to the inputs.

• Ensure that labels, tags, and basket names comply with the defined format and size constraints.

• If any constraints are not met, or if conflicting parameters are detected (e.g., invalid noSendChange usage), the wallet should return a structured error as previously defined.

Parameter Errors:

If parameters are missing, malformed, or conflict with each other, the wallet should return an error with an appropriate error code and a human-readable description. For instance:

• Missing required fields: Return an error code like ERR_MISSING_PARAMETER and a description stating which parameter is missing.

• Invalid numeric ranges or string lengths: Return ERR_INVALID_PARAMETER_VALUE.

• Conflicts between inputs and inputBEEF: Return ERR_CONFLICTING_PARAMETERS.

These are examples; wallets and implementations are free to use their own naming conventions for error codes as long as they provide a clear description field.

Usage and Best Practices

• Interoperability: Since the interface is vendor-neutral, developers should ensure they comply fully with the defined types, constraints, and method contracts, allowing their wallets and applications to interface smoothly with others.

• Use of Privileged Mode: Methods related to the use of keys include options that allow an alternative "privileged access" mode to be used. When implemented, a secondary and more secure set of keys is used instead of the primary ones. This should only be invoked when necessary, and requires proper justification to be provided.

• Request Originators and Permissions: The interface ensures that operations like key derivation, signing, encryption, certificate field revelation, and transaction creation are conducted with proper authorization by incorporating the request's originator. The wallet can then authenticate the originator and seek user permission if necessary.

Restrictions on Protocol and Basket Namespaces

Protocol IDs and basket names are used to control access to data and assets, respectively. In order to ensure that consistent rules apply across wallet implementations, and to ensure that appropriate reservations are made for future permissions architectures (see BRC-98 and BRC-99), we specify the rules that apply to these namespaces here:

Rules for Protocol Names

Protocol IDs:

• Must be at least 5 characters.

• Generally must not exceed 400 characters (except for the specific linkage revelation protocol, which is allowed to be up to 430 characters, since it's the only protocol that encapsulates anotherr full protocol name within itself).

• Must not contain multiple consecutive spaces (e.g., " ").

• Must only contain lowercase letters, numbers, and spaces.

• Must not end with protocol (this is redundant).

• Must not start with p (allows for future "specially permissioned" protocols). Specified in BRC-98.

Key IDs:

• Must be at least one byte in length.

• Must not exceed 800 bytes in length.

Rules for Basket Names

Basket names:

• Must be at least 5 characters.

• Must be no more than 400 characters.

• Must only contain lowercase letters, numbers, and spaces.

• Must not end with basket (this is redundant).

• Must not contain consecutive spaces.

• Must not start with admin (allows the wallet to manage assets internal to its operations).

• Must not be default (some wallets have historically used this for internal operations).

• Must not start with p (allows for future "specially permissioned" baskets). Specified in BRC-99.

   * @param {Array<OutPoint>} [args.options.noSendChange] - Optional. Valid when `noSend` is true. May contain `noSendChange` outpoints previously returned by prior `noSend` actions in the same batch of chained actions.
   * @param {Array<TXIDHexString>} [args.options.sendWith] - Optional. Sends a batch of actions previously created as `noSend` actions to the network; either synchronously if `acceptDelayedBroadcast` is true or by a background process.
   * @param {BooleanDefaultTrue} [args.options.randomizeOutputs] — optional. When set to false, the wallet will avoid randomizing the order of outputs within the transaction.

ABI Specification

This section defines the Application Binary Interface (ABI) specification for the Wallet Interface, detailing the binary communication protocol used between applications and wallets over a Wallet Wire. It provides a comprehensive description of how method calls are structured, how data is serialized and deserialized, and how errors and origins are handled within the protocol. This specification ensures that all implementations conform to a standardized binary protocol, enabling interoperability across different platforms and vendors.

Overview

The Wallet ABI defines a binary protocol for communication between an application and the user's digital wallet. Each message transmitted over the Wallet Wire consists of a structured binary frame that includes the method call code, originator information, parameters, and return values. The protocol is designed to be efficient, minimizing the data transmitted while ensuring all necessary information is accurately conveyed.

Message Structure

Every message sent to the wallet follows this general structure:

• Call Code (1 byte): An unsigned integer representing the method being invoked.

• Originator Length (1 byte): The length of the originator domain name in bytes.

• Originator (variable length): The UTF-8 encoded fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the application originating the request.

• Parameters (variable length): Method-specific parameters serialized according to the rules defined in this specification.

Responses from the wallet consist of:

• Error Code (1 byte): A byte indicating success (0) or an error code (1-255).

• Response Data (variable length): If Error Code is 0, this contains the serialized return values. If an error occurred, it contains the serialized error message and optional stack trace.

Call Codes

Each method in the Wallet Interface is assigned a unique call code. The call codes are defined as follows:

Call Code	Method Name
1	createAction
2	signAction
3	abortAction
4	listActions
5	internalizeAction
6	listOutputs
7	relinquishOutput
8	getPublicKey
9	revealCounterpartyKeyLinkage
10	revealSpecificKeyLinkage
11	encrypt
12	decrypt
13	createHmac
14	verifyHmac
15	createSignature
16	verifySignature
17	acquireCertificate
18	listCertificates
19	proveCertificate
20	relinquishCertificate
21	discoverByIdentityKey
22	discoverByAttributes
23	isAuthenticated
24	waitForAuthentication
25	getHeight
26	getHeaderForHeight
27	getNetwork
28	getVersion

Originator Handling

The originator is the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the application making the request. It is included in each message to allow the wallet to:

• Identify the requesting application.

• Apply appropriate permissions and access controls.

• Record audit logs for security and compliance.

The originator is serialized as follows:

• Originator Length (1 byte): The length of the originator string in bytes.

• Originator (variable length): UTF-8 encoded bytes representing the originator's FQDN.

Error Handling

Errors are communicated using a structured format, ensuring consistent and detailed information about any issues that occur during method execution. This format enables precise error reporting, seamless debugging, and interoperability across implementations:

• Error Code (1 byte):

  • 0: Indicates success; the method executed without errors.

  • 1-255: Indicates an error occurred; the specific code may correspond to predefined error types or be used for custom error categorization.

If an error occurs (Error Code is non-zero), the following fields are included in the response:

• Error Message Length (VarInt): The length of the error message in bytes.

• Error Message (variable length): UTF-8 encoded string describing the error.

• Stack Trace Length (VarInt): The length of the stack trace in bytes (optional, -1 if absent).

• Stack Trace (variable length): UTF-8 encoded string containing the stack trace (optional).

Data Types and Serialization

The following data types are used in the binary protocol:

• Byte: An unsigned 8-bit integer (0 to 255).

• Int8: A signed 8-bit integer (-128 to 127).

• UInt8: An unsigned 8-bit integer (0 to 255).

• VarInt: A variable-length integer used for lengths and counts.

• UTF-8 String: A string prefixed with its length (as a VarInt), followed by UTF-8 encoded bytes.

• Byte Array: A sequence of bytes prefixed with its length (as a VarInt).

VarInt Encoding

Variable-length integers (VarInt) are used to efficiently represent integer values. The encoding follows the Bitcoin protocol's VarInt format:

• For values from 0 to 0xFC (inclusive), a single byte represents the value.

• For larger values, a marker byte indicates the length:

  • 0xFD: Next two bytes are the value as a little-endian unsigned integer.

  • 0xFE: Next four bytes are the value as a little-endian unsigned integer.

  • 0xFF: Next eight bytes are the value as a little-endian unsigned integer.

General Notes

• Absence of Optional Fields: Optional fields are often indicated by a special value (e.g., -1 as a VarInt for length fields). Implementations should handle these values appropriately to determine the presence or absence of data.

• Encoding of Strings: All strings are UTF-8 encoded and prefixed with their length as a VarInt. The -1 value indicates absence, notably different from 0 which indicates an empty string ("").

• Error Codes: While only 0 (success) and 1 (generic error) are defined here, implementations may use additional error codes for error classification as needed.

• Serialization of Nested Structures: Arrays and maps are prefixed with their lengths as VarInts. Nested fields must follow the same serialization rules as their top-level counterparts.

This ABI specification provides a complete and detailed description of the binary protocol used for communication between wallets and applications. By adhering to this specification, developers can ensure compatibility and interoperability across different implementations, enabling a robust and secure ecosystem for wallet interactions within the BSV blockchain ecosystem.

Implementers should carefully follow the serialization and deserialization rules outlined for each method to ensure correct functionality.
