Adding New Chains to OneKey

Overview

OneKey supports 40+ blockchains with pluggable chain implementations. This guide covers the process of adding new chain support.

Steps to Add a New Chain

1. Implement Chain Core Logic

Location: packages/core/src/chains/

Create a new directory for the chain:

Copypackages/core/src/chains/mychain/
├── index.ts           # Main exports
├── types.ts           # Chain-specific types
├── CoreChainSoftware/ # Software wallet implementation
│   └── index.ts
├── sdkMychain/        # SDK wrapper if needed
│   └── index.ts
└── @tests/            # Chain tests
    └── index.test.ts

2. Add Chain Configuration

Location: packages/shared/src/config/chains/

Add chain constants and configuration:

Copyexport const CHAIN_MYCHAIN = {
  id: 'mychain',
  name: 'My Chain',
  symbol: 'MYC',
  decimals: 18,
  // ... other chain config
};

3. Update UI Components for Chain-Specific Features

Location: packages/kit/src/

Add any chain-specific UI components or modifications needed for:

• Transaction building
• Address display
• Token management
• Network selection

4. Add Tests for Chain Functionality

Location: packages/core/src/chains/mychain/@tests/

Write comprehensive tests:

Copydescribe('MyChain', () => {
  it('should generate valid addresses', () => {
    // test address generation
  });

  it('should sign transactions correctly', () => {
    // test transaction signing
  });

  it('should validate addresses', () => {
    // test address validation
  });
});

Chain Implementation Checklist

• Core chain logic in packages/core/src/chains/
• Chain configuration in packages/shared/
• Address generation and validation
• Transaction building and signing
• Balance fetching
• Token support (if applicable)
• Hardware wallet support (if applicable)
• UI components updated
• Tests written and passing
• Documentation added

Reference Existing Implementations

Look at existing chain implementations for guidance:

• EVM chains: packages/core/src/chains/evm/
• Bitcoin: packages/core/src/chains/btc/
• Solana: packages/core/src/chains/sol/

Common Patterns

Chain Registry Pattern

Copy// packages/core/src/chains/index.ts
export const chainRegistry = {
  evm: () => import('./evm'),
  btc: () => import('./btc'),
  sol: () => import('./sol'),
  mychain: () => import('./mychain'),
};

Address Validation

Copyexport function validateAddress(address: string): boolean {
  // Implement chain-specific validation
  return isValidAddress(address);
}

Transaction Building

Copyexport async function buildTransaction(params: TxParams): Promise<UnsignedTx> {
  // Build unsigned transaction
  return {
    // transaction data
  };
}
