Bob Extension

Handshake wallet in the browser

Note about wallet rescan

Bob extension uses the address indexer to make wallet rescan faster and more performant on our hosted infrastructure. However, this will expose all addresses related to your wallet to our backend. We do not keep any logs containing your addresses. If privacy is a concern, you may point RPC to a different hsd node (including Bob Desktop!) in settings prior to importing your wallet.

Injected Bob3

Bob Extension injects a Bob3 object to each page, which enables apps to interact with the wallet.

// If Bob is locked, this will open the popup and prompt user to login
const wallet = await bob3.connect();
const receiveAddress = await wallet.getAddress();
const balance = await wallet.getBalance();

Once a name is available, a sendopen transaction starts the opening phase.
