API Reference

Standard Web3 provider API with Bittensor extensions

Injected Provider API

Standard Web3 provider interface compatible with Ethereum tooling

// Connect to Synaptao
if (window.synaptao) {
  const provider = window.synaptao;
  const accounts = await provider.request({ 
    method: 'eth_requestAccounts' 
  });
}

Wallet Connection

Request wallet connection and handle user approval

// Request connection
try {
  const accounts = await window.synaptao.request({
    method: 'eth_requestAccounts'
  });
  console.log('Connected:', accounts[0]);
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Connection rejected');
}

Transaction Signing

Sign and send transactions on the Bittensor network

// Send transaction
const txHash = await window.synaptao.request({
  method: 'eth_sendTransaction',
  params: [{
    from: accounts[0],
    to: '0x...',
    value: '0x...',
    data: '0x...'
  }]
});

Network Management

Switch networks and manage Bittensor subnet connections

// Switch network
await window.synaptao.request({
  method: 'wallet_switchEthereumChain',
  params: [{ chainId: '0x...' }]
});

Integration Examples

Get started quickly with these code examples

React Integration

Connect Synaptao to your React dApp

import { useEffect, useState } from 'react';

function useSynaptao() {
  const [account, setAccount] = useState<string | null>(null);
  
  useEffect(() => {
    if (window.synaptao) {
      window.synaptao.request({ 
        method: 'eth_requestAccounts' 
      }).then((accounts: string[]) => {
        setAccount(accounts[0]);
      });
    }
  }, []);
  
  return { account };
}

Next.js Integration

Use Synaptao in your Next.js application

'use client';

import { useEffect, useState } from 'react';

export default function WalletButton() {
  const [connected, setConnected] = useState(false);
  
  const connect = async () => {
    if (window.synaptao) {
      await window.synaptao.request({
        method: 'eth_requestAccounts'
      });
      setConnected(true);
    }
  };
  
  return (
    <button onClick={connect}>
      {connected ? 'Connected' : 'Connect Wallet'}
    </button>
  );
}
