Phase 4: Integration

Wallet connectivity, oracle integration, DeFi protocols, and cross-chain bridges

Wallet Integration

WIA-FIN-007 Phase 4 ensures seamless integration with all major Web3 wallets through standardized connection protocols and transaction signing.

Universal Wallet Connector

import { WIAWalletConnector } from '@wia/wallet';

const walletConnector = new WIAWalletConnector({
    supportedWallets: [
        'metamask',
        'walletconnect',
        'coinbase',
        'trust',
        'ledger',
        'trezor',
        'safe'
    ],
    supportedChains: [1, 137, 42161, 10, 56, 43114],
    appMetadata: {
        name: 'WIA DApp',
        description: 'WIA-compliant decentralized application',
        url: 'https://app.example.com',
        icons: ['https://app.example.com/icon.png']
    }
});

// Auto-detect and connect to available wallet
const wallet = await walletConnector.connect();

console.log('Connected wallet:', wallet.type);
console.log('Address:', wallet.address);
console.log('Chain ID:', wallet.chainId);

// Listen for account changes
wallet.on('accountsChanged', (accounts) => {
    console.log('Account changed:', accounts[0]);
});

// Listen for chain changes
wallet.on('chainChanged', (chainId) => {
    console.log('Chain changed:', chainId);
});

// Request chain switch
await wallet.switchChain(137); // Polygon

// Sign message
const signature = await wallet.signMessage('Welcome to WIA DApp');

// Sign typed data (EIP-712)
const typedSignature = await wallet.signTypedData({
    domain: {
        name: 'WIA Token',
        version: '1',
        chainId: 1,
        verifyingContract: contractAddress
    },
    types: {
        Transfer: [
            { name: 'from', type: 'address' },
            { name: 'to', type: 'address' },
            { name: 'amount', type: 'uint256' }
        ]

        from: wallet.address,
        to: recipientAddress,
        amount: ethers.utils.parseEther('100')
    }
});

Hardware Wallet Support

// Ledger integration
const ledger = await walletConnector.connectHardware('ledger', {
    derivationPath: "m/44'/60'/0'/0/0"
});

// Confirm transaction on device
await ledger.confirmOnDevice();

// Sign with hardware wallet
const hwSignature = await ledger.signTransaction(txData);

// Trezor integration
const trezor = await walletConnector.connectHardware('trezor');
const trezorTx = await trezor.signTransaction(txData);
