`inputPaths` names one HD key per entry, which is the whole story for a P2PKH input: one input, one signature. A contract input is not like that. Its unlocking bytecode may carry several sig/pubkey placeholders — an N-of-N agreement, or a function taking (sig a, pubkey A, sig b, pubkey B) — and nothing in a 3-tuple can say which placeholder a key fills. So entries gain an optional fourth element, `slot`, and an input's index is listed once per placeholder. `slot` defaults to 0, so every existing 3-tuple keeps meaning exactly what it meant and no current dapp needs a capability check. Sending `slot > 0`, or repeating an inputIndex, requires the wallet to advertise `multislot` — an older wallet keeps one key per input and would return a transaction missing signatures with nothing to say why. This supersedes the `multislot` branch, which was cut before the randomTradeSummary revert and still carries the reverted `txSummary` field. The protocol design there is good and is kept: the placeholder format (65-byte Schnorr sig push, 33-byte compressed pubkey push, spliced value-for-value so offsets survive), the capability gate, and the three wallet rules — don't deduplicate by inputIndex, compute each input's sighash once, reject rather than under-fill. Two things are changed. SLOTS ARE POSITIONAL, NOT BY VACANCY The earlier definition numbered slots by scanning the template for zero-filled pushes. That renumbers them as they fill, and a template is not always all zeroes: in the N-of-N case the docs give as motivation, the dapp may have already written the counterparty's signature into the first position. Verified against that implementation's own reference fill, on a two-slot input with slot 0 pre-filled: asked for slot 1 -> not filled at all (under-fill) asked for slot 0 -> writes into the SECOND slot, silently Here a push already holding a value still occupies its slot, so `slot` means the same thing to the dapp that built the template and the wallet filling it, whatever order things happen in. Overwriting a filled slot is an error rather than a no-op, because discarding a counterparty's signature is not recoverable. THE SCAN PARSES PUSHES INSTEAD OF SEARCHING FOR BYTES A hex-substring search for the placeholder pattern can match bytes that merely sit inside a larger push, splicing a signature into the middle of unrelated data. findPlaceholders walks the script's push structure (direct pushes and OP_PUSHDATA1/2/4) and throws on a truncated template rather than guessing at one it cannot parse. WHY THE HELPERS ARE IN THE LIBRARY The placeholder layout is part of the wire contract — the dapp builds the template, the wallet splices into it, and they must agree byte for byte or the transaction is silently unspendable. Leaving every wallet to implement the scan is how that goes wrong, and both failure modes above come from a reasonable implementation of a reasonable-sounding rule. fillPlaceholder throws on a missing slot, a wrong-length value, or an already filled slot; unfilledPlaceholders is what "reject, don't under-fill" checks. That makes the rule enforceable rather than something to remember. Deliberately NOT included: the sighash-validation module from the earlier branch. It is a separate concern — the library does no transaction signing today, so adding a validator for it is new surface that deserves its own review, and its signature-detection heuristic needs work (a 65-byte push is treated as a signature, which an uncompressed public key also is). 23 core tests, including both misplacement cases above, the inside-a-larger-push false positive, OP_PUSHDATA1 headers, truncated templates, and fill-order independence.

Wallet integration
Wallet integration uses @wizardconnect/wallet. The wallet implements the WalletAdapter
interface and hands it to WalletConnectionManager, which handles everything else.
WalletAdapter
interface WalletAdapter {
walletName: string; // shown in the dapp's connection UI
walletIcon: string; // URL or data-URI, shown in the dapp's connection UI
/**
* Return the relay identity private key for this session.
* May be ephemeral (random per session) or stable (HD-derived) — both work.
* The dapp learns the wallet's public key from the wallet_ready message,
* so stability across restarts is not required.
*/
getRelayPrivateKey(): Uint8Array;
/** Returns the compressed 33-byte secp256k1 public key at path/index. */
getPublicKey(path: DerivationPath, index: bigint): Uint8Array;
/** Returns the BIP32 base58-encoded xpub for the given derivation path.
* The dapp derives all addresses from this — no further pubkey requests needed. */
getXpub(path: DerivationPath): string;
/** Sign the transaction. May show approval UI to the user.
* Called when the wallet has received and validated a sign_transaction_request. */
signTransaction(request: SignTransactionRequest): Promise<SignTransactionResult>;
/** Optional: additional paths to include in the session (e.g. stealth_scan). */
getAdditionalPaths?(): PathXpub[];
/** Optional: extension data for the session handshake. */
getExtensions?(): Record<string, unknown>;
}
DerivationPath
enum DerivationPath {
Receive = 0, // m/44'/145'/0'/0 — external (receive) addresses
Change = 1, // m/44'/145'/0'/1 — internal (change) addresses
Cauldron = 7, // m/44'/145'/0'/7 — DeFi/Cauldron addresses
}
The numeric values are wallet-internal; the protocol uses names (receive, change, defi).
childIndexOfPath(path) and pathOfChildIndex(index) convert between them.
SignTransactionResult
interface SignTransactionResult {
signedTransactionHex: string;
}
WalletConnectionManager
class WalletConnectionManager extends EventEmitter {
constructor(adapter: WalletAdapter)
// Connect to a dapp. Returns a stable connection ID.
// If a connection for this URI already exists, returns the existing ID.
connect(uri: string): string
// Tear down a specific connection, sending a UserDisconnect courtesy message.
disconnect(connectionId: string): void
// Tear down all connections.
disconnectAll(): void
// Snapshot of all connections for UI rendering.
getConnections(): Record<string, RelayConnectionState>
// Send the signed transaction back to the dapp.
sendSignResponse(connectionId: string, sequence: number, signedTx: string): Promise<void>
// Send an error back to the dapp (user rejected, signing failed, etc.)
sendSignError(connectionId: string, sequence: number, errorMessage: string): Promise<void>
// Events
on("connectionStatusChanged", (id: string, status: RelayStatus) => void)
on("pendingSignRequest", (req: PendingSignRequest) => void)
on("connectionsChanged", () => void)
on("remoteDisconnect", (connectionId: string, reason: DisconnectReason, message: string | undefined) => void)
on("message", (connectionId: string, message: ProtocolMessage) => void) // extension messages
}
RelayConnectionState
interface RelayConnectionState {
id: string;
uri: string;
status: RelayStatus; // { status: "connected" | "reconnecting" | "disconnected" }
label: string; // dapp name once known, otherwise "Connecting..."
dappName: string | null;
dappIcon: string | null;
connectedAt: number; // Unix ms
}
PendingSignRequest
interface PendingSignRequest {
connectionId: string;
request: SignTransactionRequest;
}
Connection lifecycle
connect()
- A unique
connectionIdis generated. initiateWalletRelay(statusCallback, { uri, walletPrivateKey })is called.- The relay decodes the URI, extracts the dapp's public key and secret, and connects.
- On the first
"connected"status,onConnected()is called.
onConnected()
walletReadySentThisCycleis reset tofalse.- A notification processor interval is started (1 second, for retry on send errors).
- The wallet polls until
client.isKeyExchangeComplete()(key exchange with dapp done). pushWalletReady()is called.
pushWalletReady()
Sends wallet_ready with:
supported_protocols: ["hdwalletv1"]wallet_name,wallet_iconfrom the adapter.session["hdwalletv1"]: one{ name, xpub }perDerivationPath(receive/change/defi), plus any additional paths fromadapter.getAdditionalPaths()and extension data fromadapter.getExtensions(). See extensions.md.dapp_discovered: whether the dapp was seen in this runtime session.
The message is pushed to a per-connection notificationQueue and flushed immediately. Retry
is handled by the interval processor — if relay() throws (e.g. network drop), the message
stays in the queue and is retried on the next tick.
Receiving dapp_ready
wallet_discovered=false → reset walletReadySentThisCycle, call pushWalletReady() again
wallet_discovered=true → set dappDiscovered=true, no further action
dapp_name and dapp_icon are captured from the first dapp_ready that includes them.
Receiving disconnect
When a disconnect message arrives from the dapp:
- The
remoteDisconnectevent is emitted with(connectionId, reason, message). - The connection is cleaned up without sending a reply disconnect.
Receiving sign_transaction_request
The wallet emits pendingSignRequest with the connectionId and the full request. The host
application is responsible for:
- Queueing or displaying the request.
- Getting user approval.
- Calling
sendSignResponse(connectionId, sequence, signedTxHex)orsendSignError(connectionId, sequence, errorMessage).
The wallet library does not auto-sign or auto-reject anything.
Deduplication: The dapp re-sends pending sign requests when the wallet reconnects (see
protocol docs). To prevent duplicate approval dialogs,
WalletConnectionManager tracks in-flight sequences and silently drops requests whose sequence
has already been emitted. The guard is cleared when a response is sent (sendSignResponse /
sendSignError) or a sign_cancel is received.
Multiple keys per input: an inputPaths entry may carry a fourth element, slot, and several
entries may share one inputIndex — one per sig/pubkey placeholder in a contract input. Do not
deduplicate by inputIndex: collapsing them drops signatures and yields an unspendable transaction.
Compute each input's sighash once and reuse it for every slot, varying only the key. Use
fillPlaceholder() / unfilledPlaceholders() from @wizardconnect/core rather than scanning for
placeholders yourself, and advertise multislot via getExtensions() if you support it. See
extensions.md § multislot.
SIGHASH enforcement: The wallet MUST sign every input with
SIGHASH_ALL | SIGHASH_FORKID | SIGHASH_UTXOS. See the
SIGHASH requirement section in the protocol
docs for the security rationale. Because the dapp specifies inputPaths, the wallet trusts the
dapp's key selection — SIGHASH_ALL is what makes this safe (a wrong-key signature is simply
invalid and cannot be repurposed).
Minimal example
import { WalletConnectionManager } from "@wizardconnect/wallet";
import type { WalletAdapter, DerivationPath } from "@wizardconnect/wallet";
class MyAdapter implements WalletAdapter {
walletName = "My Wallet";
walletIcon = "";
getRelayPrivateKey() { return crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint8Array(32)); }
getPublicKey(path: DerivationPath, index: bigint) { /* ... */ }
getXpub(path: DerivationPath) { /* ... */ }
async signTransaction(request) {
// Show approval UI, sign with SIGHASH_ALL | SIGHASH_FORKID | SIGHASH_UTXOS, return hex.
// See protocol.md "SIGHASH requirement" — other sighash flags MUST be rejected.
return { signedTransactionHex: "..." };
}
}
const manager = new WalletConnectionManager(new MyAdapter());
// When user scans a QR code:
const connId = manager.connect("wiz://?p=...&s=...");
// When a sign request arrives:
manager.on("pendingSignRequest", async ({ connectionId, request }) => {
try {
const result = await showApprovalUI(request);
await manager.sendSignResponse(connectionId, request.sequence, result.signedTransactionHex);
} catch {
await manager.sendSignError(connectionId, request.sequence, "User rejected");
}
});
// When the dapp disconnects:
manager.on("remoteDisconnect", (id, reason, message) => {
console.log(`Dapp disconnected: ${reason}`, message);
store.dispatch(setConnections(manager.getConnections()));
});
// For Redux / UI updates:
manager.on("connectionsChanged", () => {
store.dispatch(setConnections(manager.getConnections()));
});
