Alex-SDK
Alex-SDK is a easy-to-use library that exposes the swap functionality from alexlab.co to be integrated into any app or wallet. It enables users to perform swaps with a wide variety of supported currencies.
Supported Currencies
The SDK supports the following currencies:
export enum Currency {
ALEX = 'age000-governance-token',
USDA = 'token-wusda',
STX = 'token-wstx',
BANANA = 'token-wban',
XBTC = 'token-wbtc',
DIKO = 'token-wdiko',
SLIME = 'token-wslm',
XUSD = 'token-wxusd',
MIA = 'token-wmia',
NYCC = 'token-wnycc',
CORGI = 'token-wcorgi',
}
Functions
The AlexSDK class includes the following functions:
export declare class AlexSDK {
getFeeRate(from: Currency, to: Currency): Promise<bigint>;
getRouter(from: Currency, to: Currency): Promise<Currency[]>;
getAmountTo(from: Currency, fromAmount: bigint, to: Currency): Promise<bigint>;
runSwap(stxAddress: string, currencyX: Currency,
currencyY: Currency, fromAmount: bigint,
minDy: bigint, router: Currency[]): Promise<TxToBroadCast>;
getLatestPrices(): Promise<Partial<{ [currency in Currency]: number }>>;
getBalances(stxAddress: string): Promise<Partial<{ [currency in Currency]: bigint }>>;
fetchSwappableCurrency(): Promise<TokenInfo[]>;
}
getFee
Rate Get the swap fee (liquidity provider fee) between two currencies.
async function getFeeRate(from: Currency, to: Currency): Promise<bigint>;
Possible exceptions: Failed to fetch token mappings, No AMM pools in route, Too many AMM pools in route, Error calling read-only function.
getRouter
Get the router path for swapping between two currencies.
async function getRouter(from: Currency, to: Currency): Promise<Currency[]>;
Possible exceptions: Failed to fetch token mappings, Can't find route.
getAmountTo
Get the amount of destination currency that will be received when swapping from one currency to another.
async function getAmountTo(from: Currency, fromAmount: bigint, to: Currency): Promise<bigint>;
Possible exceptions: Failed to fetch token mappings, No AMM pool found for the given route, Too many AMM pools in route, Error calling read-only function.
runSwap
Perform a swap between two currencies using the specified route and amount.
function runSwap(stxAddress: string, currencyX: Currency, currencyY: Currency,
fromAmount: bigint, minDy: bigint, router: Currency[]): Promise<TxToBroadCast>;
Possible exceptions: Failed to fetch token mappings, Can't find AMM route, Token mapping not found, Too many AMM pools in route.
getLatestPrices
This function fetches the current price data for all supported tokens. It returns an object where the keys are the currency identifiers (as defined in the Currency enum) and the values are the corresponding prices in USD.
async function getLatestPrices(): Promise<Partial<{ [currency in Currency]: number }>>;
Possible exceptions: Failed to fetch token mappings.
getBalances
This function fetches the current balances of all supported tokens for a specified STX address. It returns an object where the keys are the currency identifiers (as defined in the Currency enum) and the values are the corresponding balances as bigint values.
async function getBalances(stxAddress: string): Promise<Partial<{ [currency in Currency]: bigint }>>;
Possible exceptions: Failed to fetch token mappings.
fetchSwappableCurrency
This function returns an array of TokenInfo objects, each containing detailed information about a supported swappable currency.
function fetchSwappableCurrency(): Promise<TokenInfo[]>;
Possible exceptions: Failed to fetch token mappings.
Installation
You can install Alex-SDK using npm:
npm install alex-sdk
Usage
To use the AlexSDK, you can import it into your project and instantiate a new object:
import { AlexSDK, Currency } from 'alex-sdk';
const alex = new AlexSDK();
(async () => {
// Get swap fee between STX and ALEX
const feeRate = await alex.getFeeRate(Currency.STX, Currency.ALEX);
console.log('Swap fee:', feeRate);
// Get the router path for swapping STX to ALEX
const router = await alex.getRouter(Currency.STX, Currency.ALEX);
console.log('Router path:', router);
// Get the amount of USDA that will be received when swapping 100 ALEX
const amountTo = await alex.getAmountTo(
Currency.STX,
BigInt(100 * 1e8), // all decimals are multiplied by 1e8
Currency.ALEX
);
console.log('Amount to receive:', Number(amountTo) / 1e8);
// To get the transaction to broadcast
const tx = await alex.runSwap(
stxAddress,
Currency.STX,
Currency.ALEX,
BigInt(Number(amount) * 1e8),
BigInt(0),
router
);
// Then broadcast the transaction yourself
await openContractCall(tx);
// Get the latest prices for all supported currencies
const latestPrices = await alex.getLatestPrices();
console.log('Latest prices:', latestPrices);
// Get balances for a specific STX address
const stxAddress = 'SM2MARAVW6BEJCD13YV2RHGYHQWT7TDDNMNRB1MVT';
const balances = await alex.getBalances(stxAddress);
console.log('Balances:', balances);
// Fetch information about all swappable currencies
const swappableCurrencies = await alex.fetchSwappableCurrency();
console.log('Swappable currencies:', swappableCurrencies);
})();
There is a fully working example in the alex-sdk-example.
