Important notices

As I've left the BANKEX and was a solo enthusiast maintainer of this project, all the further work and updates will be done in my peronal repo here

Sincerely, Alex

web3swift

Version License Platform support

  • Swift implementation of web3.js functionality ⚡
  • Interaction with remote node via JSON RPC 💭
  • Smart-contract ABI parsing 📖
    • ABI deconding (V2 is supported with return of structures from public functions. Part of 0.4.22 Solidity compiler)
    • RLP encoding
  • Interactions (read/write to Smart contracts) 🔄
  • Local keystore management (geth compatible)
  • Literally following the standards:
    • BIP32 HD Wallets: Deterministic Wallet
    • BIP39 (Seed phrases)
    • BIP44 (Key generation prefixes)
    • EIP-155 (Replay attacks protection) enforced!

Check this out

  • Private key and transaction were created directly on an iOS device and sent directly to Infura node
  • Native API
  • Security (as cool as a hard wallet! Right out-of-the-box! :box: )
  • No unnecessary dependencies
  • Possibility to work with all existing smart contracts
  • Referencing the newest features introduced in Solidity

Design decisions

  • Not every JSON RPC function is exposed yet, priority is given to the ones required for mobile devices
  • Functionality was focused on serializing and signing transactions locally on the device to send raw transactions to Ethereum network
  • Requirements for password input on every transaction are indeed a design decision. Interface designers can save user passwords with the user's consent
  • Public function for private key export is exposed for user convenience, but marked as UNSAFE_ :) Normal workflow takes care of EIP155 compatibility and proper clearing of private key data from memory

Example

You can try it yourself by running the example project:

  • Clone the repo
  • cd Example/web3swiftExample
  • run pod install from the Example/web3swiftExample directory.
  • open ./web3swiftExample.xcworkspace

Requirements

Web3swift requires Swift 4.1 and iOS 9.0 or macOS 10.13 although we recommend to use the latest iOS and MacOS versions for your own safety. Don't forget to set the iOS version in a Podfile, otherwise you get an error if the deployment target is less than the latest SDK.

Communication

Installation

CocoaPods

CocoaPods is a dependency manager for Cocoa projects. You can install it with the following command:

$ sudo gem install cocoapods

To integrate web3swift into your Xcode project using CocoaPods, specify it in your Podfile:

source 'https://github.com/CocoaPods/Specs.git'
platform :ios, '9.0'

target '<Your Target Name>' do
    use_frameworks!
    pod 'web3swift', '~> 0.8.0'
end

Then, run the following command:

$ pod install

Features

  • Create Account
  • Import Account
  • Sign transactions
  • Send transactions, call functions of smart-contracts, estimate gas costs
  • Serialize and deserialize transactions and results to native Swift types
  • Convenience functions for chain state: block number, gas price
  • Check transaction results and get receipt
  • Parse event logs for transaction
  • Manage user's private keys through encrypted keystore abstractions
  • Batched requests in concurrent mode, checks balances of 580 tokens (from the latest MyEtherWallet repo) over 3 seconds

Usage

Here's a few use cases of our library

Initializing Ethereum address

let coldWalletAddress = EthereumAddress("0x6394b37Cf80A7358b38068f0CA4760ad49983a1B")
let constractAddress = EthereumAddress("0x45245bc59219eeaaf6cd3f382e078a461ff9de7b")

Ethereum addresses are checksum checked if they are not lowercased and always length checked

Setting options

var options = Web3Options.defaultOptions()
    // public var to: EthereumAddress? = nil - to what address transaction is aimed
    // public var from: EthereumAddress? = nil - form what address it should be sent (either signed locally or on the node)
    // public var gasLimit: BigUInt? = BigUInt(90000) - default gas limit
    // public var gasPrice: BigUInt? = BigUInt(5000000000) - default gas price, quite small
    // public var value: BigUInt? = BigUInt(0) - amount of WEI sent along the transaction
options.gasPrice = gasPrice
options.gasLimit = gasLimit
options.from = EthereumAddress("0xE6877A4d8806e9A9F12eB2e8561EA6c1db19978d")

Getting ETH balance

let address = EthereumAddress("0xE6877A4d8806e9A9F12eB2e8561EA6c1db19978d")!
let web3Main = Web3.InfuraMainnetWeb3()
let balanceResult = web3Main.eth.getBalance(address)
guard case .success(let balance) = balanceResult else {return}

Getting gas price

let web3Main = Web3.InfuraMainnetWeb3()
let gasPriceResult = web3Main.eth.getGasPrice()
guard case .success(let gasPrice) = gasPriceResult else {return}

Getting ERC20 token balance

let contractAddress = EthereumAddress("0x45245bc59219eeaaf6cd3f382e078a461ff9de7b")! // BKX token on Ethereum mainnet
let contract = web3.contract(Web3.Utils.erc20ABI, at: contractAddress, abiVersion: 2)! // utilize precompiled ERC20 ABI for your concenience
guard let bkxBalanceResult = contract.method("balanceOf", parameters: [coldWalletAddress] as [AnyObject], options: options)?.call(options: nil) else {return} // encode parameters for transaction
guard case .success(let bkxBalance) = bkxBalanceResult, let bal = bkxBalance["0"] as? BigUInt else {return} // bkxBalance is [String: Any], and parameters are enumerated as "0", "1", etc in order of being returned. If returned parameter has a name in ABI, it is also duplicated
print("BKX token balance = " + String(bal))

Sending ETH

let web3Rinkeby = Web3.InfuraRinkebyWeb3()
web3Rinkeby.addKeystoreManager(bip32keystoreManager) // attach a keystore if you want to sign locally. Otherwise unsigned request will be sent to remote node
options.from = bip32ks?.addresses?.first! // specify from what address you want to send it
intermediateSend = web3Rinkeby.contract(Web3.Utils.coldWalletABI, at: coldWalletAddress, abiVersion: 2)!.method(options: options)! // an address with a private key attached in not different from any other address, just has very simple ABI
let sendResultBip32 = intermediateSend.send(password: "BANKEXFOUNDATION")

Sending ERC20

var convenienceTransferOptions = Web3Options.defaultOptions()
convenienceTransferOptions.gasPrice = gasPriceRinkeby
let convenienceTokenTransfer = web3Rinkeby.eth.sendERC20tokensWithNaturalUnits(tokenAddress: EthereumAddress("0xa407dd0cbc9f9d20cdbd557686625e586c85b20a")!, from: (ks?.addresses?.first!)!, to: EthereumAddress("0x6394b37Cf80A7358b38068f0CA4760ad49983a1B")!, amount: "0.0001", options: convenienceTransferOptions) // there are also convenience functions to send ETH and ERC20 under the .eth structure
let gasEstimateResult = convenienceTokenTransfer!.estimateGas(options: nil)
guard case .success(let gasEstimate) = gasEstimateResult else {return}
convenienceTransferOptions.gasLimit = gasEstimate
let convenienceTransferResult = convenienceTokenTransfer!.send(password: "BANKEXFOUNDATION", options: convenienceTransferOptions)
switch convenienceTransferResult {
    case .success(let res):
        print("Token transfer successful")
        print(res)
    case .failure(let error):
        print(error)
}
