[TWIL] Week of June 16, 2024

This week marked the third week of the Onchain Summer Buildathon, where our focus was on refining our code to support interactions with Externally Owned Accounts (EOAs). Here’s a deep dive into what I learned and achieved during this week of building.

EOA with Smart Wallet Integration

Our platform already had artists using EOAs to mint music NFTs, so migrating them entirely to Smart Wallets wasn't feasible. Instead, we had to adapt our client-side code to support both Smart Wallet accounts and EOAs. This involved implementing conditional logic to handle each type of account using the useCapabilities hook.

Here's an example of how we managed batch transactions for both account types:

const Component = () => {
  const { data: capabilities } = useCapabilities({
    account,
  });

  const isSmartWallet = Object.keys(capabilities).length > 0;

  const methodOne = {
    // args...
  }

  const methodTwo = {
    // args...
  }

  const { writeContractsAsync } = useWriteContracts();
  const { writeContractAsync } = useWriteContract();

  const { data: methodOneData } = useSimulateContract(methodOne);
  const { data: methodTwoData } = useSimulateContract({ 
    ...methodTwo, 
    skipSimulation: true 
  });

  const handler = async () => {
    if (isSmartWallet) {
      await writeContractAsync({
        contracts: [methodOne, methodTwo]
      });
      return;
    }

    const hash = await writeContractAsync(methodOneData);
    await waitForTransactionReceipt(config, { hash });
    await writeContractAsync(methodTwoData);
  }
}

Key Learnings and Highlights

Detecting Smart Wallet vs. EOA: We used the useCapabilities hook to check if the user has capabilities associated with a Smart Wallet. If capabilities has at least one key-value pair, it indicates a Smart Wallet; otherwise, it’s an EOA. The isSmartWallet variable serves as this indicator.
Handling Simulation and Execution: Include skipSimulation: true on the second useSimulateContract argument if the methodTwo transaction depends on methodOne being executed and confirmed. This avoids errors during simulation. Additionally, invoke waitForTransactionReceipt to ensure the first transaction is confirmed before executing the second one.

Hardhat Network Variable

The Hardhat npm package provides many useful variables, including network, which tells you which chain you're executing your script on at runtime. This is particularly useful if you have identical smart contracts deployed on multiple blockchains. Here’s a handy way to get smart contract addresses across supported blockchains:

// main.ts

import { network } from "hardhat";

enum EthereumSCAddresses {
  NFT = "<smart-contract-address>"
}

enum BaseSCAddresses {
  NFT = "<smart-contract-address>"
}

function getContractAddress() {
  switch (network.name) {
    case "ethereum":
      return EthereumSCAddresses
    case "base":
      return BaseSCAddresses;
    default:
      throw new Error("Invalid network name");
  }
}

function main() {
    const nftAddress = getContractAddress().NFT;
}

When you run npx hardhat run main.ts --network ethereum, getContractAddress will return EthereumSCAddresses, and .NFT will return the corresponding smart contract address.

Wrapping Up

That’s it for this week! As we head into the final week of the Onchain Summer Buildathon, we'll continue to fix issues and build new features. Happy hacking everyone ☕️!
