Embedded Wallet Integration

View as Markdown

Use this page when you want one reference page for wiring the hosted embedded wallet into a web app.

  • 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
Entry pointUse it whenAvoid it when
@thru/wallet/reactYour app already uses React and you want provider plus hooks.You are not using React.
@thru/walletYou want a browser-side SDK without React.You want React provider state or hooks.
@thru/wallet/native/reactYou are integrating the wallet in a React Native app.You are building a browser-only dApp.

For the recommended React path:

Terminal window
npm install @thru/wallet @thru/sdk

For a non-React integration:

Terminal window
npm install @thru/wallet @thru/sdk

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>
);
}

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>
);
}

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>
);
}

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

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
  • the iframe URL must be a trusted wallet origin: https://wallet.thru.org or localhost during development
  • signTransaction() expects a non-empty base64 payload in one of the accepted encodings
  • getSigningContext().feePayerPublicKey is the source of truth for the network fee payer
  • the wallet contract is intentionally narrow: connect, disconnect, account selection, and transaction signing
  • Approval and Signing to understand what happens after a dApp calls connect() or signTransaction()
  • Troubleshooting if the request flow stalls or the transaction never appears on-chain
