Service Providers

This package uses the following service providers:

Sochain API rate limits: https://sochain.com/api#rate-limits (300 requests/minute)

Bitgo API rate limits: https://app.bitgo.com/docs/#section/Rate-Limiting (10 requests/second)

Bitaps API rate limits: Standard limit 15 requests within 5 seconds for a single IP address.

Setting Headers for Nine Realms endpoints

If you plan on using the publically accessible endpoints provided by Nine Realms(listed below), ensure that you add a valid 'x-client-id' to all requests

• https://midgard.ninerealms.com
• https://haskoin.ninerealms.com (LTC/BCH/LTC)
• https://thornode.ninerealms.com

Example

import cosmosclient from '@cosmos-client/core'
import axios from 'axios'
import { register9Rheader } from '@xchainjs/xchain-util'

register9Rheader(axios)
register9Rheader(cosmosclient.config.globalAxios)

For a complete example please see this test

UtxoOnlineDataProviders

default providers

Creating a no-arg LTC Client will default to the following settings:

const defaultLTCParams: UtxoClientParams & {
  nodeUrls: NodeUrls
  nodeAuth?: NodeAuth
} = {
  network: Network.Mainnet,
  phrase: '',
  explorerProviders: explorerProviders,
  dataProviders: [BlockcypherDataProviders],
  rootDerivationPaths: {
    [Network.Mainnet]: `m/84'/2'/0'/0/`,
    [Network.Testnet]: `m/84'/1'/0'/0/`,
    [Network.Stagenet]: `m/84'/2'/0'/0/`,
  },
  feeBounds: {
    lower: LOWER_FEE_BOUND,
    upper: UPPER_FEE_BOUND,
  },
  nodeUrls: {
    [Network.Mainnet]: 'https://litecoin.ninerealms.com',
    [Network.Stagenet]: 'https://litecoin.ninerealms.com',
    [Network.Testnet]: 'https://testnet.ltc.thorchain.info',
  },
}

Note: BlockCypher is the default online data provider (to fetch realtime utxos, balances, etc)

Overriding providers

You can specify own array of providers, whoch will be executed in array-order, to provide automated failover to the subsequent providers if calls to the first providers fail

example sochain v3, blockcypher backup

import { Client, defaultLTCParams, AssetLTC, SochainDataProviders, BlockcypherDataProviders } from '@xchainjs/xchain-litecoin'
import { SochainNetwork,  SochainProvider } from '@xchainjs/xchain-utxo-providers'
import { Network, UtxoClientParams } from '@xchainjs/xchain-client'

// override with your API key
SochainDataProviders[Network.Mainnet].apiKey = 'YOUR_SOCHAIN_API_KEY'

// or set in env variables so default config can access.
`SOCHAIN_API_KEY={YOUR_SOCHAIN_API_KEY}`
`BLOCKCYPHER_API_KEY={YOUR_BLOCKCYPHER_API_KEY}`
//so default config can access.
process.env.BLOCKCYPHER_API_KEY
process.env.SOCHAIN_API_KEY
//overridde the default init params with your onfig
const initParams: UtxoClientParams = {
  ...defaultLTCParams,
  dataProviders: [SochainDataProviders, BlockcypherDataProviders]// use sochain first and blockcypher as fallback
  phrase: process.env.PHRASE,
}
const LTCClient = new Client(sochainParams)
