Data Structures

In this document we define data structures and definitions used in the v2.0-rc protocol

Relay​

Relay is defined by the transport protocol used for the two clients to publish and subscribe messages between each other.

{
  "protocol": string,
  "data": string, // optional
}

Session​

Session is a topic encrypted by a symmetric key derived using a key agreement established after an approved proposal and it has a controller participant that can update its accounts, methods, events and expiry.

{
  "topic": string,
  "pairingTopic: string,
  "relay": {
    "protocol": string,
    "data": string
  },
  "self": {
    "publicKey": string,
    "metadata": Metadata
  },

  "peer": {
    "publicKey": string,
    "metadata": Metadata
  },

  "expiry": Int64, // timestamp (seconds)
  "acknowledged": boolean,
  "controller": string,
  "namespaces": {
    "<namespace_name>" : {
      "accounts": [string],
      "methods": [string],
      "events": [string]
    }
  },
  "requiredNamespaces": {
    "<namespace_name>" : {
      "chains": [string],
      "methods": [string],
      "events": [string]
    }
  },
  "specialNamespaces": {
    "<namespace_name>" : {
      "methods": [string],
      "events": [string]
    }
  }
}

Proposal​

Proposal is sent by the proposer client to be approved or rejected by the responder who is assumed to be the controller of the resulting session and will respond with its public key to derive the future topic and symKey.

{
  "id": number, // json-rpc request id
  "relays": [
    {
      "protocol": string,
      "data": string
    }
  ],
  "proposer": {
    "publicKey": string,
    "metadata": Metadata
  },
  "requiredNamespaces": {
    "<namespace_name>" : {
      "chains": [string],
      "methods": [string],
      "events": [string]
    }
  },
  "pairingTopic": string
}

Response​

Response is sent by the responder client and can either be an approval or rejection to the proposal made and if approved will be followed by a settlement request on the new topic derived from the hashed symmetric key from the key agreement

// Approval
{
  "relay": {
    "protocol": string,
    "data": string // Optional
  },
  "responderPublicKey": string
}

// Rejection

{
  "error": {
    "code": Int64,
    "message": string
  }
}

Settlement​

Settlement is sent by the responder after approval and it's broadcasted right after the response on the new topic derived from the hashed symmetric key from the key agreement

{
  "relay": {
    "protocol": string,
    "data": string // Optional
  },
  "controller": {
    "publicKey": string,
    "metadata": Metadata
  },
  "namespaces": {
    "<namespace_name>": {
      "accounts": [string],
      "methods": [string],
      "events": [string]
    }
  },
  "requiredNamespaces": {
    "<namespace_name>": {
      "chains": [string],
      "methods": [string],
      "events": [string]
    }
  },
  "optionalNamespaces": {
    "<namespace_name_OR_chain>": {
      "chains": [string],
      "methods": [string],
      "events": [string]
    }
  },
  "specialNamespaces": {
    "<namespace_name>" : {
      "methods": [string],
      "events": [string]
    }
  },
  "sessionProperties": {
    "property": string
  },
  "expiry": Int64, // seconds
}

Verify Context​

Verify Context is appended to Session Proposals and Session Requests to provide metadata that was constructed internally by the client that is relevant to the specific proposal or request

{
  "verified": {
    "origin": string,
    "validation": "UNKNOWN" | "VALID" | "INVALID",
    "verifyUrl": string
  }
}

Namespace Config​

Namespace Config is set within the setNamespaceConfig method that is a part of the Sign client. It defines Special and Supported Namespaces and must be called after initialization of the SDK and before approve session method.

{
   "supportedNamespaces": {
    "<namespace_name>": {
      "chains": [string],
      "methods": [string],
      "events": [string],
      "accounts": [string]
    }
  },
  "specialNamespaces": {
    "<namespace_name>" : {
      "methods": [string],
      "events": [string]
    }
  }
}
