Core Functions

1. getTokens()

Retrieves the list of all supported tokens across different blockchains.

Signature

SFA.getTokens(): Promise<TokenResponse[]>

Returns

Array of TokenResponse objects containing:

interface TokenResponse {
  assetId: string;        // Unique asset identifier
  blockchain: string;     // Network ID (e.g., 'eth', 'arb', 'pol')
  symbol: string;         // Token symbol (e.g., 'USDT', 'USDC')
  decimals: number;       // Token decimals (e.g., 6, 18)
  address?: string;       // Contract address
  price?: string;         // Current price in USD
}

Example Usage

// Fetch all supported tokens
const tokens = await SFA.getTokens();

// Filter USDT tokens
const usdtTokens = tokens.filter(t => t.symbol === 'USDT');

// Get tokens for specific network
const ethTokens = tokens.filter(t => t.blockchain === 'eth');

// Find specific token
const arbUsdc = tokens.find(
  t => t.blockchain === 'arb' && t.symbol === 'USDC'
);

Use Cases

  • Building token selection UI

  • Validating supported tokens

  • Getting current token prices

  • Discovering available networks


2. getQuote()

Requests a quote for cross-chain token swap, including fees, estimated time, and deposit address.

Signature

SFA.getQuote(request: QuoteRequest): Promise<QuoteResponse>

Request Parameters

interface QuoteRequest {
  // Testing mode (true = no real deposit address)
  dry: boolean;
  
  // Swap calculation type
  swapType: 'EXACT_INPUT' | 'EXACT_OUTPUT';
  
  // Slippage tolerance in basis points (100 = 1%)
  slippageTolerance: number;
  
  // Source token asset ID
  originAsset: string;
  
  // Where user deposits funds
  depositType: 'ORIGIN_CHAIN' | 'NEAR';
  
  // Destination token asset ID
  destinationAsset: string;
  
  // Amount in token's smallest unit
  amount: string;
  
  // Refund address if swap fails
  refundTo: string;
  
  // Refund location
  refundType: 'ORIGIN_CHAIN' | 'NEAR';
  
  // Recipient address for destination tokens
  recipient: string;
  
  // Recipient location
  recipientType: 'DESTINATION_CHAIN' | 'NEAR';
  
  // Quote expiration time (ISO 8601)
  deadline: string;
  
  // Optional: max wait time for quote in milliseconds
  quoteWaitingTimeMs?: number;
}

Response

interface QuoteResponse {
  quote: {
    depositAddress: string;      // Address to send tokens to
    amountIn: string;             // Input amount (smallest unit)
    amountInFormatted: string;    // Input amount (human-readable)
    amountOut: string;            // Output amount (smallest unit)
    amountOutFormatted: string;   // Output amount (human-readable)
    minAmountOut: string;         // Minimum output after slippage
    amountInUsd: string;          // Input value in USD
    amountOutUsd: string;         // Output value in USD
    timeEstimate: number;         // Estimated completion time (seconds)
    appFee?: AppFee;              // Fee breakdown
  };
  swapDetails: SwapDetails;       // Detailed swap information
  transactionDetails: TransactionDetails;  // Transaction parameters
}

Example Usage

import { QuoteRequest } from 'stableflow-ai-sdk';

const quoteRequest: QuoteRequest = {
  dry: false,  // Get real deposit address
  swapType: QuoteRequest.swapType.EXACT_INPUT,
  slippageTolerance: 100,  // 1%
  
  // Swap from Arbitrum USDT to Ethereum USDT
  originAsset: 'nep141:arb-0xfd086bc7cd5c481dcc9c85ebe478a1c0b69fcbb9.omft.near',
  destinationAsset: 'nep141:eth-0xdac17f958d2ee523a2206206994597c13d831ec7.omft.near',
  
  amount: '1000000',  // 1 USDT (6 decimals)
  
  depositType: QuoteRequest.depositType.ORIGIN_CHAIN,
  refundTo: '0xYourArbitrumAddress',
  refundType: QuoteRequest.refundType.ORIGIN_CHAIN,
  
  recipient: '0xYourEthereumAddress',
  recipientType: QuoteRequest.recipientType.DESTINATION_CHAIN,
  
  deadline: new Date(Date.now() + 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000).toISOString(),
};

const quote = await SFA.getQuote(quoteRequest);

console.log('Deposit to:', quote.quote.depositAddress);
console.log('You will receive:', quote.quote.amountOutFormatted);
console.log('Estimated time:', quote.quote.timeEstimate, 'seconds');

Important Notes

  • dry: true: Testing mode, no real deposit address

  • dry: false: Production mode, returns real deposit address

  • Amount Format: Always use smallest token unit (e.g., 1 USDT = 1000000 for 6 decimals)

  • Deadline: Must be a future timestamp in ISO 8601 format

  • Address Validation: Ensure addresses match the respective network format


3. submitDepositTx()

Notifies StableFlow that you've sent tokens to the deposit address.

Signature

SFA.submitDepositTx(request: SubmitDepositTxRequest): Promise<SubmitDepositTxResponse>

Request Parameters

interface SubmitDepositTxRequest {
  txHash: string;           // Transaction hash from blockchain
  depositAddress: string;   // Deposit address from quote
}

Response

interface SubmitDepositTxResponse {
  success: boolean;
  message?: string;
}

Example Usage

// After sending tokens to deposit address
const txHash = '0x123...abc';  // From blockchain transaction
const depositAddress = quote.quote.depositAddress;

const result = await SFA.submitDepositTx({
  txHash,
  depositAddress,
});

if (result.success) {
  console.log('Transaction submitted successfully!');
}

When to Call

  1. After sending tokens to depositAddress

  2. After transaction is confirmed on blockchain

  3. Before checking execution status


4. getExecutionStatus()

Checks the current status of a cross-chain swap.

Signature

SFA.getExecutionStatus(depositAddress: string): Promise<GetExecutionStatusResponse>

Parameters

Parameter
Type
Description

depositAddress

string

Deposit address from quote

Response

interface GetExecutionStatusResponse {
  status: 'pending' | 'processing' | 'completed' | 'failed';
  depositTxHash?: string;
  destinationTxHash?: string;
  message?: string;
  updatedAt: string;
}

Example Usage

const status = await SFA.getExecutionStatus(depositAddress);

switch (status.status) {
  case 'pending':
    console.log('Waiting for deposit confirmation...');
    break;
  case 'processing':
    console.log('Swap in progress...');
    break;
  case 'completed':
    console.log('Swap completed!');
    console.log('Destination tx:', status.destinationTxHash);
    break;
  case 'failed':
    console.log('Swap failed:', status.message);
    break;
}

Polling Example

async function waitForCompletion(depositAddress: string) {
  const maxAttempts = 60;  // 5 minutes with 5s interval
  
  for (let i = 0; i < maxAttempts; i++) {
    const status = await SFA.getExecutionStatus(depositAddress);
    
    if (status.status === 'completed') {
      return status;
    }
    
    if (status.status === 'failed') {
      throw new Error(status.message);
    }
    
    // Wait 5 seconds before next check
    await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, 5000));
  }
  
  throw new Error('Timeout waiting for swap completion');
}

Key Files to Study

  1. app.ts - Main application logic

    • Wallet connection: connectWallet()

    • Network switching: switchNetwork()

    • Getting quotes: handleGetQuote()

    • Executing swaps: executeBridge()

  2. Network Configuration

    const SUPPORTED_NETWORKS = [
      {
        id: 'eth',
        name: 'Ethereum',
        chainId: 1,
        usdtContract: '0xdac17f958d2ee523a2206206994597c13d831ec7',
        usdtAssetId: 'nep141:eth-0xdac17f958d2ee523a2206206994597c13d831ec7.omft.near',
        decimals: 6
      },
      // ... more networks
    ];
  3. ERC20 Token Transfer

    // Create contract instance
    const erc20Abi = ['function transfer(address to, uint256 amount) returns (bool)'];
    const usdtContract = new ethers.Contract(
      fromNetwork.usdtContract,
      erc20Abi,
      signer
    );
    
    // Execute transfer
    const tx = await usdtContract.transfer(depositAddress, amount);
    await tx.wait();

Learning Path

  1. Start with: Understanding the flow in app.ts

  2. Study: Network configuration and asset IDs

  3. Review: Error handling patterns

  4. Examine: UI/UX best practices

  5. Customize: Adapt for your use case


Best Practices

1. Error Handling

Always wrap SDK calls in try-catch blocks:

import { ApiError } from 'stableflow-ai-sdk';

try {
  const quote = await SFA.getQuote(request);
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof ApiError) {
    switch (error.status) {
      case 400:
        // Invalid request parameters
        console.error('Bad request:', error.body);
        break;
      case 401:
        // Authentication failed
        console.error('Invalid JWT token');
        break;
      case 404:
        // Resource not found
        console.error('Endpoint not found');
        break;
      default:
        console.error('API error:', error.message);
    }
  } else {
    // Network or other errors
    console.error('Unexpected error:', error);
  }
}

2. Token Amount Conversion

Always convert human-readable amounts to smallest units:

import { ethers } from 'ethers';

// Human-readable to smallest unit
const decimals = 6;  // USDT decimals
const humanAmount = '100.5';  // 100.5 USDT
const smallestUnit = ethers.parseUnits(humanAmount, decimals);
// Result: 100500000n

// Smallest unit to human-readable
const formatted = ethers.formatUnits(smallestUnit, decimals);
// Result: '100.5'

3. Deadline Management

Set reasonable deadlines:

// Good: 24 hours from now
const deadline = new Date(Date.now() + 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000).toISOString();

// Bad: Past timestamp
const badDeadline = new Date('2020-01-01').toISOString();  // ❌

// Bad: Too short
const tooShort = new Date(Date.now() + 60 * 1000).toISOString();  // ❌

4. Network Validation

Validate network compatibility:

async function validateNetworks(fromNetwork: string, toNetwork: string) {
  if (fromNetwork === toNetwork) {
    throw new Error('Source and destination networks must be different');
  }
  
  const tokens = await SFA.getTokens();
  const fromTokens = tokens.filter(t => t.blockchain === fromNetwork);
  const toTokens = tokens.filter(t => t.blockchain === toNetwork);
  
  if (fromTokens.length === 0) {
    throw new Error(`Network ${fromNetwork} not supported`);
  }
  
  if (toTokens.length === 0) {
    throw new Error(`Network ${toNetwork} not supported`);
  }
}

5. Status Polling

Implement exponential backoff:

async function pollStatus(depositAddress: string) {
  let delay = 2000;  // Start with 2 seconds
  const maxDelay = 30000;  // Max 30 seconds
  const maxAttempts = 100;
  
  for (let i = 0; i < maxAttempts; i++) {
    const status = await SFA.getExecutionStatus(depositAddress);
    
    if (status.status === 'completed' || status.status === 'failed') {
      return status;
    }
    
    await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, delay));
    
    // Exponential backoff
    delay = Math.min(delay * 1.5, maxDelay);
  }
  
  throw new Error('Polling timeout');
}

Common Use Cases

Use Case 1: Simple USDT Bridge

Bridge USDT from Ethereum to Arbitrum:

// 1. Get tokens to find asset IDs
const tokens = await SFA.getTokens();
const ethUsdt = tokens.find(t => t.blockchain === 'eth' && t.symbol === 'USDT');
const arbUsdt = tokens.find(t => t.blockchain === 'arb' && t.symbol === 'USDT');

// 2. Create quote request
const quoteRequest: QuoteRequest = {
  dry: false,
  swapType: QuoteRequest.swapType.EXACT_INPUT,
  slippageTolerance: 100,
  originAsset: ethUsdt.assetId,
  destinationAsset: arbUsdt.assetId,
  amount: ethers.parseUnits('100', 6).toString(),  // 100 USDT
  depositType: QuoteRequest.depositType.ORIGIN_CHAIN,
  refundTo: userEthAddress,
  refundType: QuoteRequest.refundType.ORIGIN_CHAIN,
  recipient: userArbAddress,
  recipientType: QuoteRequest.recipientType.DESTINATION_CHAIN,
  deadline: new Date(Date.now() + 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000).toISOString(),
};

// 3. Get quote
const quote = await SFA.getQuote(quoteRequest);

// 4. Transfer USDT to deposit address
const usdtContract = new ethers.Contract(
  '0xdac17f958d2ee523a2206206994597c13d831ec7',
  ['function transfer(address to, uint256 amount) returns (bool)'],
  signer
);
const tx = await usdtContract.transfer(
  quote.quote.depositAddress,
  ethers.parseUnits('100', 6)
);
await tx.wait();

// 5. Submit transaction
await SFA.submitDepositTx({
  txHash: tx.hash,
  depositAddress: quote.quote.depositAddress,
});

// 6. Monitor status
const finalStatus = await pollStatus(quote.quote.depositAddress);
console.log('Bridge completed!', finalStatus.destinationTxHash);

Use Case 2: Dynamic Token Selection

Let users choose any supported token pair:

async function buildTokenPairSelector() {
  const tokens = await SFA.getTokens();
  
  // Group by network
  const byNetwork = tokens.reduce((acc, token) => {
    if (!acc[token.blockchain]) {
      acc[token.blockchain] = [];
    }
    acc[token.blockchain].push(token);
    return acc;
  }, {} as Record<string, TokenResponse[]>);
  
  // Build UI options
  const networks = Object.keys(byNetwork);
  
  return {
    networks,
    getTokensForNetwork: (network: string) => byNetwork[network],
    findToken: (network: string, symbol: string) =>
      byNetwork[network]?.find(t => t.symbol === symbol),
  };
}

Use Case 3: Fee Calculator

Calculate bridge fees before execution:

async function calculateFees(
  fromToken: TokenResponse,
  toToken: TokenResponse,
  amount: string
) {
  const quoteRequest: QuoteRequest = {
    dry: true,  // Testing mode
    swapType: QuoteRequest.swapType.EXACT_INPUT,
    slippageTolerance: 100,
    originAsset: fromToken.assetId,
    destinationAsset: toToken.assetId,
    amount,
    // ... other required fields
  };
  
  const quote = await SFA.getQuote(quoteRequest);
  
  const feeUsd = parseFloat(quote.quote.amountInUsd) - 
                 parseFloat(quote.quote.amountOutUsd);
  const feePercent = (feeUsd / parseFloat(quote.quote.amountInUsd)) * 100;
  
  return {
    feeUsd: feeUsd.toFixed(4),
    feePercent: feePercent.toFixed(2),
    estimatedTime: quote.quote.timeEstimate,
    minimumReceived: quote.quote.amountOutFormatted,
  };
}

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. "Invalid token" Error

Cause: Using incorrect assetId format

Solution: Always get asset IDs from getTokens():

const tokens = await SFA.getTokens();
const token = tokens.find(t => 
  t.blockchain === 'eth' && t.symbol === 'USDT'
);
// Use: token.assetId

2. "Deadline is not valid" Error

Cause: Deadline is in the past or incorrect format

Solution: Use ISO 8601 format with future timestamp:

const deadline = new Date(Date.now() + 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000).toISOString();

3. Authentication Errors

Cause: Missing or invalid JWT token

Solution:

👉 Apply for JWT Token Here

After receiving your token, set it before any API calls:

OpenAPI.TOKEN = 'your-valid-token';

4. Network Mismatch

Cause: Wallet on wrong network when sending transaction

Solution: Check and switch network before transaction:

const currentChainId = await window.ethereum.request({ 
  method: 'eth_chainId' 
});

if (currentChainId !== expectedChainId) {
  await window.ethereum.request({
    method: 'wallet_switchEthereumChain',
    params: [{ chainId: expectedChainId }],
  });
}

5. Transaction Stuck

Cause: Transaction not confirmed on blockchain

Solution: Wait for confirmation before submitting:

const tx = await usdtContract.transfer(depositAddress, amount);
const receipt = await tx.wait();  // Wait for confirmation
console.log('Confirmed in block:', receipt.blockNumber);

// Now submit to StableFlow
await SFA.submitDepositTx({ txHash: tx.hash, depositAddress });
