Typescript SDK

⏱️ 3 min read

Welcome to the DeFindex TypeScript SDK documentation! This SDK provides server-side access to DeFindex's vault management system through a comprehensive TypeScript interface. With this SDK, you can:

1. Create and manage decentralized vaults

2. Perform vault operations (deposit, withdraw, balance queries)

3. Access real-time APY data

4. Execute administrative operations

5. Integrate secure API key authentication

Prerequisites

Before integrating the SDK, ensure you have:

• Node.js environment (version 16 or higher)

• TypeScript knowledge for optimal development experience

• API key from DeFindex

• Understanding of Stellar/Soroban blockchain concepts

Integration Guide

1. Install the SDK

Add the SDK to your project using your preferred package manager:

npm install @defindex/sdk
# or
pnpm install @defindex/sdk
# or
yarn add @defindex/sdk

2. Import and Initialize

Import the SDK and configure it with your API key:

import { DefindexSDK, SupportedNetworks } from '@defindex/sdk';

// Initialize with API key (recommended for server-side use)
const sdk = new DefindexSDK({
  apiKey: process.env.DEFINDEX_API_KEY, // Store securely in environment variables
  baseUrl: 'https://api.defindex.io',   // Optional: defaults to production API
  timeout: 30000                        // Optional: request timeout in milliseconds
});

Quick Start

Here's a minimal example to get you started with vault operations:

import { DefindexSDK, SupportedNetworks } from '@defindex/sdk';

// Initialize the SDK
const sdk = new DefindexSDK({
  apiKey: 'sk_your_api_key_here'
});

async function quickStart() {
  try {
    // Check API health
    const health = await sdk.healthCheck();
    console.log('API Status:', health.status.reachable);

    // Get factory address
    const factory = await sdk.getFactoryAddress(SupportedNetworks.TESTNET);
    console.log('Factory Address:', factory.address);

    // Get vault information
    const vaultAddress = 'CVAULT_CONTRACT_ADDRESS...';
    const vaultInfo = await sdk.getVaultInfo(vaultAddress, SupportedNetworks.TESTNET);
    console.log(`Vault: ${vaultInfo.name} (${vaultInfo.symbol})`);

    // Check user balance
    const userAddress = 'GUSER_ADDRESS...';
    const balance = await sdk.getVaultBalance(vaultAddress, userAddress, SupportedNetworks.TESTNET);
    console.log(`Vault Shares: ${balance.dfTokens}`);

  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Operation failed:', error.message);
  }
}

quickStart();

Core Functions

System Operations

Health Check

Monitor API availability and system status:

const health = await sdk.healthCheck();
if (health.status.reachable) {
  console.log('API is healthy and operational');
} else {
  console.log('API health issues detected');
}

Factory Operations

Get Factory Address

Retrieve the factory contract address for vault creation:

const factory = await sdk.getFactoryAddress(SupportedNetworks.TESTNET);
console.log('Factory contract:', factory.address);

Create Vault

Deploy a new vault with custom configuration:

const vaultConfig: CreateDefindexVault = {
  roles: {
    0: "GEMERGENCY_MANAGER...",  // Emergency Manager role
    1: "GFEE_RECEIVER...",       // Fee Receiver role
    2: "GVAULT_MANAGER...",      // Vault Manager role
    3: "GREBALANCE_MANAGER..."   // Rebalance Manager role
  },
  vault_fee_bps: 100,            // 1% vault fee
  assets: [{
    address: "CASSET_ADDRESS...", // Asset contract address
    strategies: [{
      address: "CSTRATEGY_ADDR...", // Strategy contract address
      name: "Strategy Name",
      paused: false
    }]
  }],
  name_symbol: {
    name: "Vault Name",
    symbol: "VLT"
  },
  upgradable: true,
  caller: "GCALLER_ADDRESS..."
};

const response = await sdk.createVault(vaultConfig, SupportedNetworks.TESTNET);
// Sign response.xdr with your wallet and submit via sendTransaction()

Vault Operations

Get Vault Information

Query comprehensive vault details:

const vaultInfo = await sdk.getVaultInfo(vaultAddress, SupportedNetworks.TESTNET);
console.log(`Vault: ${vaultInfo.name} (${vaultInfo.symbol})`);
console.log(`Total Assets: ${vaultInfo.totalAssets}`);
console.log(`Vault Fee: ${vaultInfo.feesBps.vaultFee / 100}%`);

// Display strategies
vaultInfo.assets.forEach((asset, index) => {
  console.log(`Asset ${index + 1}: ${asset.address}`);
  asset.strategies.forEach(strategy => {
    console.log(`  - ${strategy.name}: ${strategy.paused ? 'PAUSED' : 'ACTIVE'}`);
  });
});

Get User Balance

Check user's vault position:

const balance = await sdk.getVaultBalance(
  vaultAddress,
  userAddress,
  SupportedNetworks.TESTNET
);
console.log(`Vault Shares: ${balance.dfTokens}`);
console.log(`Underlying Value: ${balance.underlyingBalance}`);

Deposit to Vault

Add funds to a vault:

const depositData: DepositToVaultParams = {
  amounts: [1000000, 2000000], // Amounts for each vault asset
  caller: userAddress,
  invest: true, // Automatically invest after deposit
  slippageBps: 100 // 1% slippage tolerance
};

const response = await sdk.depositToVault(vaultAddress, depositData, SupportedNetworks.TESTNET);
// Sign response.xdr with the caller account and submit transaction

Withdraw from Vault

Remove funds by specifying amounts:

const withdrawData: WithdrawFromVaultParams = {
  amounts: [500000], // Specific amounts to withdraw
  caller: userAddress,
  slippageBps: 100 // 1% slippage tolerance
};

const response = await sdk.withdrawFromVault(vaultAddress, withdrawData, SupportedNetworks.TESTNET);
// Sign response.xdr with the caller account and submit transaction

Withdraw by Shares

Remove funds by burning vault shares:

const shareData: WithdrawSharesParams = {
  shares: 1000000, // Number of vault shares to burn
  caller: userAddress,
  slippageBps: 100
};

const response = await sdk.withdrawShares(vaultAddress, shareData, SupportedNetworks.TESTNET);
// Sign response.xdr with the caller account and submit transaction

Get Vault APY

Query current Annual Percentage Yield:

const apy = await sdk.getVaultAPY(vaultAddress, SupportedNetworks.TESTNET);
console.log(`Current APY: ${apy.apyPercent}%`);
console.log(`Calculation period: ${apy.period}`);

Administrative Operations

Emergency Rescue

Execute emergency asset recovery and pauses strategy (requires Emergency Manager role):

const rescueData: RescueFromVaultParams = {
  strategy_address: 'CSTRATEGY_TO_RESCUE...',
  caller: 'GEMERGENCY_MANAGER_ADDRESS...'
};

const response = await sdk.emergencyRescue(vaultAddress, rescueData, SupportedNetworks.TESTNET);
console.log('Emergency rescue XDR:', response.transactionXDR);
// Sign and submit the transaction

Pause/Unpause Strategy

Control strategy operations (requires appropriate role):

// Note: Ensure the caller has the necessary role to perform this operation
// Pause a strategy
await sdk.pauseStrategy(vaultAddress, {
  strategy_address: 'CSTRATEGY_ADDRESS...',
  caller: 'GMANAGER_ADDRESS...'
}, SupportedNetworks.TESTNET);

// Unpause a strategy
await sdk.unpauseStrategy(vaultAddress, {
  strategy_address: 'CSTRATEGY_ADDRESS...',
  caller: 'GMANAGER_ADDRESS...'
}, SupportedNetworks.TESTNET);

Transaction Management

Submit Signed Transactions

Send signed XDR to the Stellar network:

// Submit via Stellar directly
const response = await sdk.sendTransaction(
  signedXDR,
  SupportedNetworks.TESTNET,
  false // Don't use LaunchTube
);

// Submit via LaunchTube
const response = await sdk.sendTransaction(
  signedXDR,
  SupportedNetworks.TESTNET,
  true // Use LaunchTube
);

console.log('Transaction hash:', response.hash);
console.log('Status:', response.status);

Error Handling

The SDK provides comprehensive error handling with specific error types:

import {
  isApiError,
  isAuthError,
  isValidationError,
  isNetworkError
} from '@defindex/sdk';

try {
  const vaultInfo = await sdk.getVaultInfo(vaultAddress, network);
} catch (error) {
  if (isAuthError(error)) {
    console.error('Authentication failed:', error.message);
    // Check API key configuration
  } else if (isValidationError(error)) {
    console.error('Validation error:', error.message);
    // Check input parameters
  } else if (isNetworkError(error)) {
    console.error('Network error:', error.message);
    // Handle blockchain/network issues
  } else {
    console.error('Unknown error:', error.message);
  }
}

Security Best Practices

1. Environment Variables: Always store API keys in environment variables

const sdk = new DefindexSDK({
  apiKey: process.env.DEFINDEX_API_KEY // Never hardcode credentials
});

1. Error Handling: Always wrap API calls in try-catch blocks

try {
  const result = await sdk.someOperation();
  // Handle success
} catch (error) {
  // Handle error appropriately
  console.error('Operation failed:', error.message);
}

1. Server-Side Only: This SDK is designed for server-side use only

2. Role Management: Understand vault roles and permissions before administrative operations
