Vana SDK - v0.1.0

Vana SDK

⚠️ ALPHA SOFTWARE - EXPERIMENTAL USE ONLY

This SDK is in early alpha development and is NOT SUITABLE FOR PRODUCTION USE. Features may change without notice, and data loss or unexpected behavior may occur. Use at your own risk and avoid using with mainnet assets or critical operations.

A TypeScript SDK for building data-driven applications on the Vana Network. Enable users to grant gasless permissions, manage encrypted data, and interact with privacy-preserving infrastructure.

Installation

npm install @opendatalabs/vana-sdk

Peer Dependencies:

npm install viem@^2.31.7

Quick Start

The Vana SDK supports both browser and Node.js environments with explicit entry points:

Browser Applications (React, Vue, etc.)

// For browser-based applications (React, Vue, etc.)
import { Vana, mokshaTestnet } from "@opendatalabs/vana-sdk/browser";
import { createWalletClient, http } from "viem";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";

// Create wallet client
const account = privateKeyToAccount("0x...");
const walletClient = createWalletClient({
  account,
  chain: mokshaTestnet,
  transport: http("https://rpc.moksha.vana.org"),
});

// Initialize SDK
const vana = new Vana({
  walletClient,
  relayerUrl: "https://relayer.moksha.vana.org",
});

Server-side Applications (Next.js API routes, Express)

// For server-side applications (Next.js API routes, Express)
import { Vana, mokshaTestnet } from "@opendatalabs/vana-sdk/node";
import { createWalletClient, http } from "viem";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";

// Create wallet client
const account = privateKeyToAccount("0x...");
const walletClient = createWalletClient({
  account,
  chain: mokshaTestnet,
  transport: http("https://rpc.moksha.vana.org"),
});

// Initialize SDK
const vana = new Vana({
  walletClient,
  relayerUrl: "https://relayer.moksha.vana.org",
});

// Grant gasless permission
const txHash = await vana.permissions.grant({
  to: "0x742d35Cc6558Fd4D9e9E0E888F0462ef6919Bd36",
  operation: "llm_inference",
  parameters: {
    prompt: "Analyze my data for insights",
    maxTokens: 1000,
  },
  expiresAt: Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) + 86400, // 24 hours
});

Core Features

Gasless Permissions

Users can grant data access permissions without paying gas fees through EIP-712 signatures and relay infrastructure.

// Grant permission with custom parameters
await vana.permissions.grant({
  to: applicationAddress,
  operation: "data_analysis",
  parameters: {
    analysisType: "sentiment",
    files: [12, 15, 28],
    model: "gpt-4",
  },
});

Encrypted Data Management

Upload, query, and manage encrypted user data files with built-in schema validation.

// Query user files
const files = await vana.data.getUserFiles({
  owner: "0x742d35Cc6558Fd4D9e9E0E888F0462ef6919Bd36",
});

// Upload encrypted file
const result = await vana.data.uploadEncryptedFile({
  data: encryptedBlob,
  schemaId: 123,
  filename: "user-data.json",
});

Flexible Storage

Abstract storage layer supporting IPFS, Google Drive, and custom providers.

// For browser applications
import { StorageManager, PinataStorage } from "@opendatalabs/vana-sdk/browser";
// OR for server-side applications
// import { StorageManager, PinataStorage } from "@opendatalabs/vana-sdk/node";

const storageManager = new StorageManager();
storageManager.register(
  "ipfs",
  new PinataStorage({
    apiKey: process.env.PINATA_API_KEY,
    secretKey: process.env.PINATA_SECRET_KEY,
  }),
);

Architecture

The SDK provides four main controllers:

Controller	Purpose	Key Methods
`permissions`	Gasless permission management	`grant()`, `revoke()`, `getUserPermissions()`
`data`	File management and validation	`getUserFiles()`, `uploadEncryptedFile()`, `validateDataSchema()`
`server`	Trusted server operations	`trustServer()`, `processWithTrustedServer()`
`protocol`	Contract interaction	`getContract()`, `getAvailableContracts()`

Configuration

const vana = new Vana({
  walletClient,

  // Gasless transaction relay
  relayerUrl: "https://relayer.moksha.vana.org",

  // Custom relay callbacks
  relayerCallbacks: {
    submitPermissionGrant: async (typedData, signature) => {
      return await customRelayer.submit(typedData, signature);
    },
  },

  // Storage configuration
  storageManager: new StorageManager({
    defaultProvider: "ipfs",
    providers: {
      ipfs: new PinataStorage({ apiKey: "...", secretKey: "..." }),
    },
  }),

  // Subgraph for efficient queries
  subgraphUrl: "https://api.thegraph.com/subgraphs/name/vana/moksha",
});

Error Handling

The SDK provides specific error types for different failure scenarios:

import {
  RelayerError,
  UserRejectedRequestError,
  SchemaValidationError,
  NetworkError,
} from "@opendatalabs/vana-sdk/browser";
// OR for server-side applications
// } from "@opendatalabs/vana-sdk/node";

try {
  await vana.permissions.grant(params);
} catch (error) {
  if (error instanceof UserRejectedRequestError) {
    // User cancelled transaction
  } else if (error instanceof RelayerError) {
    // Relayer service error
  } else if (error instanceof SchemaValidationError) {
    // Schema validation failed
  }
}

Supported Networks

Network	Chain ID	RPC URL
Vana Mainnet	`1480`	`https://rpc.vana.org`
Moksha Testnet	`14800`	`https://rpc.moksha.vana.org`

Examples

Complete Permission Flow

import {
  Vana,
  generateEncryptionKey,
  encryptUserData,
} from "@opendatalabs/vana-sdk/browser";
// OR for server-side applications
// } from "@opendatalabs/vana-sdk/node";

async function grantDataPermission() {
  const vana = new Vana({ walletClient });

  // 1. Encrypt user data
  const encryptionKey = await generateEncryptionKey(walletClient);
  const userData = new Blob([JSON.stringify({ data: "sensitive info" })]);
  const encryptedData = await encryptUserData(userData, encryptionKey);

  // 2. Upload encrypted file
  const uploadResult = await vana.data.uploadEncryptedFile({
    data: encryptedData,
    schemaId: 123,
    filename: "user-data.json",
  });

  // 3. Grant permission
  const permissionTx = await vana.permissions.grant({
    to: "0x742d35Cc6558Fd4D9e9E0E888F0462ef6919Bd36",
    operation: "ai_training",
    parameters: {
      files: [uploadResult.fileId],
      model: "llm-v1",
    },
  });

  return permissionTx;
}

Schema Validation

// Define data schema
const schema = {
  name: "Social Media Export",
  version: "1.0.0",
  dialect: "json",
  schema: {
    type: "object",
    properties: {
      posts: { type: "array" },
      profile: { type: "object" },
    },
    required: ["profile"],
  },
};

// Validate schema
vana.data.validateDataSchema(schema);

// Validate user data
const userData = {
  profile: { username: "alice" },
  posts: [],
};
vana.data.validateDataAgainstSchema(userData, schema);
