wdk – OpenClaw Skill

---

name: wdk description: Tether Wallet Development Kit (WDK) for building non-custodial multi-chain wallets. Use when working with @tetherto/wdk-core, wallet modules (wdk-wallet-btc, wdk-wallet-evm, wdk-wallet-evm-erc-4337, wdk-wallet-solana, wdk-wallet-spark, wdk-wallet-ton, wdk-wallet-tron, ton-gasless, tron-gasfree), and protocol modules including swap (wdk-protocol-swap-velora-evm), bridge (wdk-protocol-bridge-usdt0-evm), and lending (wdk-protocol-lending-aave-evm). Covers wallet creation, transactions, token transfers, DEX swaps, cross-chain bridges, and DeFi lending/borrowing.

Tether WDK

Multi-chain wallet SDK. All modules share common interfaces from @tetherto/wdk-wallet.

URL Fetching Workflow

When working with WDK tasks, follow this workflow to access documentation:

Identify relevant URLs - Based on the task, determine which module documentation pages are needed (see Module Documentation Links below) Attempt to fetch - Try web_fetch on the URL directly If fetch fails - Search for the exact URL:

web_search("https://docs.wallet.tether.io/sdk/wallet-modules/wallet-spark/usage") This makes the URL appear in search results, which unlocks fetching.

Fetch after search - Now web_fetch will work on that URL

Example workflow: Task: Build a Spark wallet app

1. Relevant URLs identified:

   • https://docs.wallet.tether.io/sdk/wallet-modules/wallet-spark/usage
   • https://docs.wallet.tether.io/sdk/wallet-modules/wallet-spark/configuration

2. web_fetch("https://docs.wallet.tether.io/sdk/wallet-modules/wallet-spark/usage") → If permission error, proceed to step 3

3. web_search("https://docs.wallet.tether.io/sdk/wallet-modules/wallet-spark/usage") → URL now appears in results

4. web_fetch("https://docs.wallet.tether.io/sdk/wallet-modules/wallet-spark/usage") → Success - full page content retrieved

For each module, documentation is organized into subpages:

/usage - Example usage and patterns /configuration - Configuration options and settings /api-reference - Complete API documentation

Quick Start

Docs: https://docs.wallet.tether.io/sdk/get-started

With WDK Core (Multi-chain)

import WDK from '@tetherto/wdk'
import WalletManagerEvm from '@tetherto/wdk-wallet-evm'
import WalletManagerBtc from '@tetherto/wdk-wallet-btc'

const wdk = new WDK(seedPhrase)
  .registerWallet('ethereum', WalletManagerEvm, { provider: 'https://eth.drpc.org' })
  .registerWallet('bitcoin', WalletManagerBtc, { host: 'electrum.blockstream.info', port: 50001 })

const ethAccount = await wdk.getAccount('ethereum', 0)
const btcAccount = await wdk.getAccount('bitcoin', 0)

Single Chain (Direct)

import WalletManagerBtc from '@tetherto/wdk-wallet-btc'

const wallet = new WalletManagerBtc(seedPhrase, {
  host: 'electrum.blockstream.info',
  port: 50001,
  network: 'bitcoin'
})
const account = await wallet.getAccount(0)

Common Interface (All Wallets)

All wallet accounts implement IWalletAccount:

Method	Returns	Description
getAddress()	Promise<string>	Account address
getBalance()	Promise<bigint>	Native token balance (base units)
getTokenBalance(addr)	Promise<bigint>	Token balance
sendTransaction({to, value})	Promise<{hash, fee}>	Send native tokens
quoteSendTransaction({to, value})	Promise<{fee}>	Estimate tx fee
transfer({token, recipient, amount})	Promise<{hash, fee}>	Transfer tokens
quoteTransfer(opts)	Promise<{fee}>	Estimate transfer fee
sign(message)	Promise<string>	Sign message
verify(message, signature)	Promise<boolean>	Verify signature
dispose()	void	Clear private keys from memory

Properties: index, path, keyPair (⚠️ sensitive)

Chain-Specific Notes

Bitcoin

• BIP-84 (Native SegWit only, bc1... addresses)
• Uses Electrum servers, fees in sat/vB
• No token support (getTokenBalance, transfer throw)
• getTransfers({direction, limit, skip}) for history

EVM

• BIP-44 (m/44'/60'), EIP-1559 fee model
• Supports ERC20 via transfer()
• Fee rates: normal = base×1.1, fast = base×2.0

ERC-4337 (Account Abstraction)

• Gasless via UserOperations + Paymaster
• Fees paid in paymaster token (e.g., USDT)
• getPaymasterTokenBalance() for fee balance
• Batch transactions: sendTransaction([tx1, tx2])

Solana

• BIP-44 (m/44'/501'), Ed25519
• Fees in lamports (1 SOL = 1B lamports)
• SPL tokens via transfer()

Spark

• Bitcoin L2 with Lightning support
• Zero fees for Spark txs
• getSingleUseDepositAddress(), claimDeposit(txId)
• createLightningInvoice({value, memo}), payLightningInvoice({invoice, maxFeeSats})
• withdraw({to, value}) for L1 withdrawal

TON

• BIP-44 (m/44'/607'), Ed25519
• Fees in nanotons (1 TON = 1B nanotons)
• Jettons via transfer()

TRON

• BIP-44 (m/44'/195'), secp256k1
• Fees in sun (1 TRX = 1M sun)
• TRC20 via transfer()
• Energy + bandwidth costs

Gasless Variants

• TON Gasless: Requires tonApiClient, paymasterToken config
• TRON Gasfree: Requires gasFreeProvider, gasFreeApiKey, serviceProvider, verifyingContract
• Both: sendTransaction() not supported, use transfer() only

Protocol Quick Reference

Swap (DEX)

// EVM (Velora)
const velora = new VeloraProtocolEvm(evmAccount, { swapMaxFee: 200000000000000n })
await velora.swap({ tokenIn: '0x...', tokenOut: '0x...', tokenInAmount: 1000000n })

Bridge

const bridge = new Usdt0ProtocolEvm(evmAccount, { bridgeMaxFee: 1000000000000000n })
await bridge.bridge({
  targetChain: 'arbitrum',
  recipient: '0x...',
  token: '0x...',  // USDT0
  amount: 1000000n
})

Lending (Aave)

const aave = new AaveProtocolEvm(evmAccount)
await aave.supply({ token: '0x...', amount: 1000000n })
await aave.borrow({ token: '0x...', amount: 500000n })
await aave.repay({ token: '0x...', amount: 500000n })
await aave.withdraw({ token: '0x...', amount: 1000000n })
const data = await aave.getAccountData()  // healthFactor, ltv, etc.

Common Patterns

Fee Estimation Before Send

const quote = await account.quoteSendTransaction({ to, value })
if (quote.fee > maxAcceptableFee) throw new Error('Fee too high')
const result = await account.sendTransaction({ to, value })

Cleanup

try {
  // ... wallet operations
} finally {
  account.dispose()
  wallet.dispose()
}

Read-Only Account

const readOnly = await account.toReadOnlyAccount()
// Can query balances, estimate fees, but cannot sign

Package Versions

ALWAYS fetch the latest version from npm before adding any package to package.json:

npm view <package-name> version

Example workflow:

# Before writing package.json, check each package you need:
npm view @tetherto/wdk-core version
npm view @tetherto/wdk-wallet-btc version
npm view @tetherto/wdk-wallet-evm version
# ... for every @tetherto package you're using

Never hardcode or guess versions. Always verify against npm first.

Browser Compatibility

WDK uses sodium-universal for secure memory handling which requires Node.js. For browser/React apps:

1. Add node polyfills (vite-plugin-node-polyfills or similar)
2. Create a shim for sodium if dispose() errors occur:

// sodium-shim.js - No-op for browser
export function sodium_memzero() {}
export default { sodium_memzero }

3. Alias in bundler config:

resolve: {
  alias: {
    'sodium-universal': './src/sodium-shim.js'
  }
}
