bch-slpjs

SLPJS

SLPJS is a JavaScript Library for building Simple Ledger Protocol (SLP) token transactions.

GENESIS, MINT, and SEND transaction functions are currently supported.

Installation

For node.js

npm install slpjs

For browser

<script src='https://unpkg.com/slpjs'></script>

Example Usage

The following examples show how this library should be used.

NOTE: The BigNumber.js library is used to avoid precision issues with numbers having more than 15 significant digits.

GENESIS - Creating a new token

GENESIS is the most simple type of SLP transaction since no special inputs are required.

MINT - Create more tokens

Adding additional tokens for a token that already exists is possible if you are in control of the minting "baton". This minting baton is a special UTXO that gives authority to add to the token's circulating supply.

SEND - Send tokens

This example shows the general workflow for sending an existing token.

SLP Address Conversion

let Utils = require('slpjs').slpjs.Utils;
 
let slpAddr = Utils.toSlpAddress("bitcoincash:qzat5lfxt86mtph2fdmp96stxdmmw8hchyxrcmuhqf");
console.log(slpAddr);
// simpleledger:qzkpdhw8xwe2x2dt7mqtxwjrpfnlrclkwqvhlgwxy8
 
let cashAddr = Utils.toCashAddress(slpAddr);
console.log(cashAddr);
// bitcoincash:qzat5lfxt86mtph2fdmp96stxdmmw8hchyxrcmuhqf

Caveats

• All SLPJS methods require token quantities to be expressed in the smallest possible unit of account for the token (i.e., token satoshis). This requires the token's precision to be used to calculate the quantity. For example, token having a decimal precision of 9 sending an amount of 1.01 tokens would need to first calculate the sending amount using 1.01 x 10^9 => 1010000000.
