Embedded Wallet Integration
Use this page when you want one reference page for wiring the hosted embedded wallet into a web app.
Use This When
Section titled “Use This When”- you want the recommended React integration path
- you need to understand the smallest public wallet contract a dApp uses
- you want to connect a dApp, inspect the wallet signing contract, sign a transaction, and then submit it with
@thru/sdk
Choose The Right Package Layer
Section titled “Choose The Right Package Layer”| Entry point | Use it when | Avoid it when |
|---|---|---|
@thru/wallet/react | Your app already uses React and you want provider plus hooks. | You are not using React. |
@thru/wallet | You want a browser-side SDK without React. | You want React provider state or hooks. |
@thru/wallet/native/react | You are integrating the wallet in a React Native app. | You are building a browser-only dApp. |
Install
Section titled “Install”For the recommended React path:
npm install @thru/wallet @thru/sdkFor a non-React integration:
npm install @thru/wallet @thru/sdkMinimal React Setup
Section titled “Minimal React Setup”Wrap the app with ThruProvider and point it at the hosted wallet iframe.
import { ThruProvider } from "@thru/wallet/react";
export function App({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) { return ( <ThruProvider config={{ iframeUrl: "https://wallet.thru.org/embedded", rpcUrl: "https://grpc-web.alphanet.thruput.org", }} > {children} </ThruProvider> );}Minimal Connect Flow
Section titled “Minimal Connect Flow”connect() is the dApp entrypoint. The wallet resolves the request against the iframe, origin, and app metadata.
import { useWallet } from "@thru/wallet/react";
export function ConnectButton() { const { connect, isConnected, isConnecting } = useWallet();
if (isConnected) { return <button disabled>Wallet connected</button>; }
return ( <button onClick={() => connect({ metadata: { appId: window.location.origin, appName: "My Thru App", appUrl: window.location.origin, }, }) } disabled={isConnecting} > {isConnecting ? "Connecting..." : "Connect wallet"} </button> );}Minimal Sign-And-Submit Flow
Section titled “Minimal Sign-And-Submit Flow”Use getSigningContext() before you build the transaction. The selected wallet account is the managed account the user sees, but the actual fee payer and signer can be the embedded manager profile.
signTransaction() accepts either:
- signing payload bytes from
transaction.toWireForSigning() - raw transaction bytes from
transaction.toWire()
It always returns canonical raw transaction bytes encoded as base64, ready for direct submission.
import { useThru, useWallet } from "@thru/wallet/react";
function bytesToBase64(bytes: Uint8Array): string { let binary = ""; for (let i = 0; i < bytes.length; i++) { binary += String.fromCharCode(bytes[i]); } return btoa(binary);}
function base64ToBytes(value: string): Uint8Array { const binary = atob(value); const bytes = new Uint8Array(binary.length); for (let i = 0; i < binary.length; i++) { bytes[i] = binary.charCodeAt(i); } return bytes;}
export function SubmitSignedTransaction({ transaction,}: { transaction: { toWireForSigning(): Uint8Array; toWire(): Uint8Array };}) { const { thru } = useThru(); const { wallet } = useWallet();
return ( <button onClick={async () => { if (!thru || !wallet) throw new Error("Wallet not ready");
const signingContext = await wallet.getSigningContext();
console.log("Managed account", signingContext.selectedAccountPublicKey); console.log("Network signer", signingContext.signerPublicKey); console.log("Fee payer", signingContext.feePayerPublicKey);
// Build the transaction with signingContext.feePayerPublicKey rather than // assuming the selected managed account is also the network signer. const signingPayloadBase64 = bytesToBase64(transaction.toWireForSigning()); const rawSignedBase64 = await wallet.signTransaction(signingPayloadBase64); const signature = await thru.transactions.send(base64ToBytes(rawSignedBase64));
console.log("Submitted transaction", signature); }} > Sign and submit </button> );}Signing Context
Section titled “Signing Context”Call wallet.getSigningContext() before building transactions that need exact signer or fee-payer information.
The current embedded wallet contract returns a managed-fee-payer shape:
type ThruSigningContext = { mode: "managed_fee_payer"; selectedAccountPublicKey: string | null; feePayerPublicKey: string; signerPublicKey: string; acceptedInputEncodings: [ "signing_payload_base64", "raw_transaction_base64", ]; outputEncoding: "raw_transaction_base64";};Use it to answer two questions before signing:
- which managed account the user thinks they are acting as
- which public key actually signs and pays for network submission
What The dApp Owns
Section titled “What The dApp Owns”The dApp is responsible for:
- deciding when to call
connect() - calling
getSigningContext()before building transactions that depend on signer or fee-payer identity - building the unsigned transaction bytes with the correct fee payer
- calling
signTransaction()with a base64 payload - submitting the returned raw transaction bytes directly
- showing the right status while the wallet UI is open
The wallet is responsible for:
- presenting connection and approval UI
- unlocking with passkey if required
- selecting the current wallet account
- returning the current signing contract for the embedded environment
- returning canonical raw transaction bytes after signing
Important Assumptions
Section titled “Important Assumptions”- the iframe URL must be a trusted wallet origin:
https://wallet.thru.orgor localhost during development signTransaction()expects a non-empty base64 payload in one of the accepted encodingsgetSigningContext().feePayerPublicKeyis the source of truth for the network fee payer- the wallet contract is intentionally narrow: connect, disconnect, account selection, and transaction signing
