First wallet-handler slice. Thin, non-custodial, JWT-gated proxies over the
ElectrumClient — the wallet derives addresses and signs locally; these
endpoints only relay reads and a finalized broadcast.
Endpoints (POST, under /api/v1/wallet/utxo, asset = btc|ltc in body):
- balance -> {confirmed, unconfirmed} (separate integers; client sums)
- utxos -> [{txid, vout, value, height}]
- history -> [{txid, height, fee}]
- tip -> {height}
- fee -> {sat_per_vb}
- broadcast-> {txid}
- JWT-gated for abuse control; the client-supplied address is NOT persisted
against the user (no address<->identity graph stored here).
- Feature-gated dispatch: unknown/disabled asset -> 400; the Electrum client
validates the address + network before any network call.
- broadcast validates tx_hex (non-empty, even-length, hex, <=200 KB) before
reaching the node.
- Registered in build_router + openapi.json (6 paths, btc_ltc tag); spec
regenerated, drift-clean.
5 L1 integration tests (auth gate on balance/broadcast/fee; unknown-asset and
malformed-tx-hex 400s — all deterministic, no network) + tx_hex unit test.
smirk-backend-core
Open, self-hostable backend for the Smirk non-custodial, multi-chain wallet. It provides the chain-access and identity surface a Smirk wallet needs — authentication, per-chain wallet access (Bitcoin, Litecoin, Monero, Wownero, Grin), the Grin slatepack relay, and Nostr-based identity — so anyone can run their own backend and a Smirk wallet can connect to it.
Status: early, under active development. Interfaces and the database schema may change before the first tagged release. Not yet recommended for production self-hosting.
What it is
- Non-custodial. The server never holds spend keys or seeds. It brokers access to blockchain data and relays wallet-to-wallet messages.
- Open core, feature-flagged. Every feature ships in this codebase and is
toggled per deployment; the wallet reads
GET /api/v1/capabilitiesand adapts to what a given backend offers. - Identity via "Sign in with Smirk". Authentication uses a seed-derived Nostr key (NIP-98); the server stores only public keys.
- Privacy first. No PII is required to use it; operator and user privacy are explicit design goals.
Architecture
Rust + Axum, PostgreSQL via sqlx. The public HTTP contract is generated from the handlers with utoipa (OpenAPI), which in turn drives the wallet's generated TypeScript client — one source of truth, checked for drift in CI.
Quickstart
cp .env.example .env # then fill in DATABASE_URL, JWT_SECRET, node URLs
cargo run # starts the API server
A full self-hosting guide (node requirements, reverse proxy, Tor admin onion,
backups) will live in docs/ as it stabilises.
