CardanoCore

This repository is a focused fork of Cardano.swift, streamlined to provide core Cardano blockchain functionality.

Overview

CardanoCore provides essential Cardano blockchain interactions while maintaining a lighter footprint compared to the full Cardano.swift SDK. This repository focuses on core functionality needed for basic Cardano blockchain operations.

Features

• Streamlined Cardano blockchain interactions
• Key management and address generation
• Transaction building and signing
• UTXO management
• Network communication basics

Requirements

• macOS 10.12+ / iOS 11+
• Swift 5.0+
• Xcode 13+ (for development)

Installation

Swift Package Manager

Add the following to your Package.swift file:

dependencies: [
    .package(url: "https://github.com/dchatzieleftheriou-bc/CardanoCore", from: "0.1.0")
]

CocoaPods

Add this to your Podfile:

pod 'CardanoCore', '~> 0.1.0'

Basic Usage

import CardanoCore

// Initialize keychain
let keychain = try Keychain(mnemonic: ["your", "mnemonic", "phrase"])

// Generate account
try keychain.addAccount(index: 0)

// Initialize Cardano instance
let cardano = try Cardano(network: .testnet,
                         signer: keychain)

// Generate new address
let account = try cardano.addresses.fetchedAccounts()[0]
let address = try cardano.addresses.new(for: account, change: false)

Differences from Cardano.swift

This repository differs from the original Cardano.swift in the following ways:
