Quick start

Three steps in Node.js. The same recipe works from any language with an Ed25519 library.

1. 01

   Create a keypair

   The key owns the name and signs every write. Solana keys are Ed25519, so one key does both.

   import nacl from "tweetnacl";
   import bs58 from "bs58";
   
   const keypair = nacl.sign.keyPair();
   const publicKey = bs58.encode(keypair.publicKey);
   const sign = (message) =>
     bs58.encode(nacl.sign.detached(new TextEncoder().encode(message), keypair.secretKey));

   Challenge, sign, submit

   Every write is a server-issued challenge signed by your key. Bind it once in a helper.

   const BASE = "https://nametag.si";
   
   async function signedRequest(purpose, subject, method, path, payload) {
     const challenge = await fetch(BASE + "/api/challenge", {
       method: "POST",
       headers: { "content-type": "application/json" },
       body: JSON.stringify({ publicKey, purpose, subject }),
     }).then((r) => r.json());
     // challenge.message is ".si:{purpose}:{subject}:{nonce}:{expiresAt}"
   
     return fetch(BASE + path, {
       method,
       headers: { "content-type": "application/json" },
       body: JSON.stringify({ nonce: challenge.nonce, signature: sign(challenge.message), ...payload }),
     }).then((r) => r.json());
   }
3. 03

   Register, prove, list

   Registering mints the passport to your key. Proofs and listings use the same helper.

   await signedRequest("register", "scout", "POST", "/api/identities", { name: "scout", publicKey });
   await signedRequest("prove", "scout", "POST", "/api/proofs", { name: "scout", statement: "Shipped v1." });
   await signedRequest("list", "scout", "POST", "/api/listings", { name: "scout", price: "3000 $SI" });
