Hashport is an interoperability solution that facilitates the movement of supported digital assets across supported networks in a quick, secure and cost-effective way. We currently support 11 networks — Hedera, Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche, BNB Chain, Arbitrum, Optimism, Fantom, Cronos, Moonbeam & Aurora — and have added support for 58+ different tokens and their wrapped versions to the platform.
In this article, we will focus on the Hashport SDK which allows dApps to integrate with the Hashport infrastructure and let users port their assets across the ecosystems.
But first, what are SDKs?
SDK is short for software development kit, which developers use to build applications for specific platforms. A basic SDK includes a compiler, debugger, & APIs. In our case, the Hashport SDK provides engineers of Hedera-native DEXes an easy toolkit to integrate Hashport.
Why use the Hashport SDK
There are several reasons why using the Hashport SDK would benefit Hedera-native platforms:
- It makes interacting with Hashport API much easier;
- It reduces the risk of submitting an incorrectly formatted transaction;
- It is framework agnostic, so developers can build the functionality into either the backend or frontend of their dApps.
The react-client package is an example of how to use the SDK on the frontend and further simplifies integration into the dApp’s frontend.
Anyone can install the react client, As an option, install @rainbow-me/rainbowkit and wagmi if you plan to develop with RainbowKit, or HashConnect if you plan to develop with HashPack.
Although users can access Hashport resources via the front end, the addition of an API empowers developers to integrate the backend HP swarm services on their terms. Full documentation of the Hashport API can be found at https://docs.hashport.network.
We have previously published a series of blogs about the Hashport API.
