VeChain Thor Devkit (SDK) in Java

Java (8+) library to assist a smoother development process on VeChainThor for all developers and hobbyists.

Content
Public key, private key, address conversion.
Mnemonic Wallets.
HD Wallet.
Keystore.
Various Hashing functions.
Signing messages.
Verify signature of messages.
Bloom filter.
Transaction Assembling (Multi-task Transaction, MTT).
Fee Delegation Transaction (VIP-191).
Self-signed Certificate (VIP-192).
ABI decoding of "functions" and "events" in logs.

... and will always be updated with the newest features on VeChain.

Install

  • Checkout the JAR file on the "release" page.
  • Or build locally with gradle build (higher security).

This SDK is build on top of gson, guava and other libraries. See "build.gradle" to include those dependencies manually in your project.

Private/Public Keys

import org.vechain.devkit.cry.Utils;
import org.vechain.devkit.cry.Secp256k1;

byte[] priv = Secp256k1.newPrivateKey(); // byte[32].
byte[] pub = Secp256k1.derivePublicKey(priv, false); // byte[65].
byte[] addr = Address.publicKeyToAddressBytes(pub); // byte[20].

String address = "0x" + Utils.bytesToHex(addr);
System.out.println(address);
// 0x63ad8a6d015ae579ad128e0c63040bb860cc5d34

String checksumAddress = Address.toChecksumAddress(address); // String.
System.out.println(checksumAddress);
// 0x63ad8A6D015aE579ad128e0c63040bB860Cc5D34

Sign & Verify Signatures

import java.util.Arrays;
import org.vechain.devkit.cry.Keccak;
import org.vechain.devkit.cry.Secp256k1;
import org.vechain.devkit.cry.Signature;
import org.vechain.devkit.cry.Utils;

byte[] priv = Utils.hexToBytes(
    "7582be841ca040aa940fff6c05773129e135623e41acce3e0b8ba520dc1ae26a"
); // byte[32].

byte[] msgHash = Keccak.keccak256(
    Utils.AsciiToBytes("hello world")
); // byte[32].

// Sign the message hash.
byte[] sigBytes = Secp256k1.sign(msgHash, priv);// byte[65].

// Recover public key from given message hash and signature.
byte[] pub = Secp256k1.recover(
    msgHash,
    new Signature(sigBytes).getECDSASignature(),
    new Signature(sigBytes).getV()
); // byte[65].

// Verify if the public key matches.
Arrays.equals(pub, Secp256k1.derivePublicKey(priv, false));// true.

Mnemonic Wallet

import org.vechain.devkit.cry.Mnemonic;

List<String> words = Mnemonic.generate(128);
System.out.println(words);
// [carry, slow, attack, december, number, film, scale, faith, can, old, cage, expose]

boolean flag = Mnemonic.validate(words);
System.out.println(flag); // true.

// Quickly get a Bip32 master seed for HD wallets.
// How to use the seed? See "HD wallet" below.
byte[] seed = Mnemonic.derive_seed(words);

// Quickly get a private key at index 0.
// Need to generate more? See "HD wallet" below.
byte[] priv = Mnemonic.derive_private_key(words, 0);
