OpenDLT Accumulate Rust SDK

Production-ready Rust SDK for the Accumulate blockchain protocol. Supports all signature types, V2/V3 API endpoints, and provides a high-level signing API with automatic version tracking.

Features

• Multi-Signature Support: Ed25519, RCD1, BTC, ETH, RSA-SHA256, ECDSA-SHA256
• Smart Signing: Automatic signer version tracking with SmartSigner
• Complete Protocol: All transaction types and account operations
• Async/Await: Modern async Rust with tokio runtime
• Network Ready: Mainnet, Testnet (Kermit), and local DevNet support

Installation

Add to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]

accumulate-client = "2.0"

tokio = { version = "1", features = ["rt-multi-thread", "macros"] }

Quick Start

use accumulate_client::{
    AccumulateClient, AccOptions, derive_lite_identity_url,
    KERMIT_V2, KERMIT_V3,
};
use url::Url;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Connect to Kermit testnet
    let v2_url = Url::parse(KERMIT_V2)?;
    let v3_url = Url::parse(KERMIT_V3)?;
    let client = AccumulateClient::new_with_options(v2_url, v3_url, AccOptions::default()).await?;

    // Generate key pair and derive lite account URLs
    let keypair = AccumulateClient::generate_keypair();
    let public_key = keypair.verifying_key().to_bytes();
    let lite_identity = derive_lite_identity_url(&public_key);
    let lite_token_account = format!("{}/ACME", lite_identity);

    println!("Lite Identity: {}", lite_identity);
    println!("Lite Token Account: {}", lite_token_account);

    Ok(())
}

Smart Signing API

The SmartSigner class handles version tracking automatically:

use accumulate_client::{
    AccumulateClient, AccOptions, SmartSigner, TxBody,
    derive_lite_identity_url, KERMIT_V2, KERMIT_V3,
};
use url::Url;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let v2_url = Url::parse(KERMIT_V2)?;
    let v3_url = Url::parse(KERMIT_V3)?;
    let client = AccumulateClient::new_with_options(v2_url, v3_url, AccOptions::default()).await?;

    let keypair = AccumulateClient::generate_keypair();
    let public_key = keypair.verifying_key().to_bytes();
    let lite_identity = derive_lite_identity_url(&public_key);
    let lite_token_account = format!("{}/ACME", lite_identity);

    // Create SmartSigner - automatically queries and tracks signer version
    let mut signer = SmartSigner::new(&client, keypair, &lite_identity);

    // Sign, submit, and wait for delivery in one call
    let result = signer.sign_submit_and_wait(
        &lite_token_account,
        &TxBody::send_tokens_single("acc://recipient.acme/tokens", "100000000"),
        Some("Payment"),
        30, // timeout seconds
    ).await;

    if result.success {
        println!("Transaction delivered: {:?}", result.txid);
    }

    Ok(())
}

QuickStart API

For the simplest possible experience, use QuickStart:

use accumulate_client::QuickStart;

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Connect to Kermit testnet (one line!)
    let acc = QuickStart::kermit().await?;

    // Create a wallet (one line!)
    let wallet = acc.create_wallet();
    println!("Lite Token Account: {}", wallet.lite_token_account);

    // Fund from faucet (one line!)
    acc.fund_wallet(&wallet, 5).await?;

    // Create ADI with automatic credit purchase (one line!)
    let adi = acc.setup_adi(&wallet, "my-adi").await?;
    println!("ADI Created: {}", adi.url);

    acc.close();
    Ok(())
}

Supported Signature Types

Transaction Builders

Build transactions using the TxBody struct:

use accumulate_client::TxBody;

// Send tokens
TxBody::send_tokens_single("acc://recipient.acme/tokens", "100000000");

// Add credits
TxBody::add_credits("acc://my-identity.acme", "1000000", oracle_price);

// Create ADI
TxBody::create_identity("acc://my-adi.acme", "acc://my-adi.acme/book", &key_hash_hex);

// Create token account
TxBody::create_token_account("acc://my-adi.acme/tokens", "acc://ACME");

// Create custom token
TxBody::create_token("acc://my-adi.acme/mytoken", "MTK", 8, None);

// Write data
TxBody::write_data(&["entry1_hex", "entry2_hex"]);

// Key management
TxBody::update_key_page_add_key(&key_hash_bytes);
TxBody::update_key_page_set_threshold(2);

Network Endpoints

use accumulate_client::{AccumulateClient, AccOptions, KERMIT_V2, KERMIT_V3};
use url::Url;

// Kermit Testnet (recommended for development)
let client = AccumulateClient::new_with_options(
    Url::parse(KERMIT_V2)?,
    Url::parse(KERMIT_V3)?,
    AccOptions::default(),
).await?;

// Local DevNet
let client = AccumulateClient::new_with_options(
    Url::parse("http://localhost:26660/v2")?,
    Url::parse("http://localhost:26661/v3")?,
    AccOptions::default(),
).await?;

// Custom endpoint
let client = AccumulateClient::new_with_options(
    Url::parse("https://your-node.com/v2")?,
    Url::parse("https://your-node.com/v3")?,
    AccOptions::default(),
).await?;

Error Handling

All API methods return Result<T, JsonRpcError>:

use accumulate_client::JsonRpcError;

match client.v3_client.call_v3::<Value>("query", params).await {
    Ok(result) => println!("Success: {:?}", result),
    Err(JsonRpcError::Http(e)) => eprintln!("HTTP error: {}", e),
    Err(JsonRpcError::Rpc { code, message }) => {
        eprintln!("RPC error {}: {}", code, message)
    },
    Err(e) => eprintln!("Other error: {}", e),
}
