Querying

You can use IkaClient to query the Ika protocol state and objects. This guide covers all available query methods.

Client Initialization

Before making any queries, ensure your client is properly initialized:

// Initialize the client (recommended for better performance)
await ikaClient.initialize();
 
// Or let the client auto-initialize on first query
// The client will automatically initialize itself when needed

Basic Object Queries

Get dWallet

Retrieve a single dWallet by its ID:

try {
	const dWallet = await ikaClient.getDWallet(dWalletID);
	console.log('dWallet state:', dWallet.state.$kind);
	console.log('dWallet kind:', dWallet.kind);
} catch (error) {
	if (error instanceof ObjectNotFoundError) {
		console.error('dWallet not found:', dWalletID);
	} else if (error instanceof NetworkError) {
		console.error('Network error:', error.message);
	}
}

Get Multiple dWallets

Efficiently retrieve multiple dWallets in a single batch request:

const dWalletIDs = ['0x123...', '0x456...', '0x789...'];
const dWallets = await ikaClient.getMultipleDWallets(dWalletIDs);
 
// Process each dWallet
dWallets.forEach((dWallet, index) => {
	console.log(`dWallet ${dWalletIDs[index]}: ${dWallet.state.$kind} (${dWallet.kind})`);
});

Get dWallet Capabilities

Query dWallet capabilities owned by an address with pagination support:

let cursor: string | null | undefined = undefined;
const allCaps: DWalletCap[] = [];
 
do {
	const {
		dWalletCaps,
		cursor: nextCursor,
		hasNextPage,
	} = await ikaClient.getOwnedDWalletCaps(
		address,
		cursor,
		50, // limit per page
	);
 
	allCaps.push(...dWalletCaps);
	cursor = nextCursor;
 
	if (!hasNextPage) break;
} while (cursor);
 
console.log(`Found ${allCaps.length} dWallet capabilities`);

Get Presign

Retrieve a presign session object:

const presign = await ikaClient.getPresign(presignID);
console.log('Presign state:', presign.state.$kind);

Query an encrypted user secret key share:

const encryptedUserSecretKeyShare = await ikaClient.getEncryptedUserSecretKeyShare(
	encryptedUserSecretKeyShareID,
);

Get Partial User Signature

Retrieve a partial user signature object:

const partialUserSignature = await ikaClient.getPartialUserSignature(partialUserSignatureID);

Get Sign Session

Retrieve a sign session object with signature parsing:

const sign = await ikaClient.getSign(signID, 'SECP256K1', 'ECDSASecp256k1');
console.log('Sign session state:', sign.state.$kind);
 
// When completed, the signature is automatically parsed based on the curve and algorithm
if (sign.state.$kind === 'Completed') {
	console.log('Signature:', sign.state.Completed.signature);
}

State-Based Queries

Polling for State Changes

Query objects in specific states with customizable polling behavior:

// Wait for dWallet to become active with custom timeout and interval
try {
	const dWallet = await ikaClient.getDWalletInParticularState(dWalletID, 'Active', {
		timeout: 60000, // 60 seconds
		interval: 2000, // poll every 2 seconds
	});
	console.log('dWallet is now active!');
} catch (error) {
	console.error('Timeout waiting for dWallet to become active');
}

Presign State Polling

const presign = await ikaClient.getPresignInParticularState(presignID, 'Completed', {
	timeout: 30000,
	interval: 1000,
});

const encryptedShare = await ikaClient.getEncryptedUserSecretKeyShareInParticularState(
	encryptedUserSecretKeyShareID,
	'KeyHolderSigned',
	{ timeout: 45000, interval: 1500 },
);

Partial User Signature State Polling

const partialSignature = await ikaClient.getPartialUserSignatureInParticularState(
	partialUserSignatureID,
	'Completed',
);

Sign Session State Polling

const sign = await ikaClient.getSignInParticularState(
	signID,
	'SECP256K1',
	'ECDSASecp256k1',
	'Completed',
	{
		timeout: 30000,
		interval: 1000,
	},
);
console.log('Sign session completed:', sign.state.Completed.signature);

Encryption Key Queries

Get Active Encryption Key

Retrieve the active encryption key for a specific address:

const encryptionKey = await ikaClient.getActiveEncryptionKey(address);
console.log('Encryption key ID:', encryptionKey.id);

Get All Network Encryption Keys

Retrieve all available network encryption keys:

const allKeys = await ikaClient.getAllNetworkEncryptionKeys();
console.log(`Found ${allKeys.length} encryption keys`);
 
allKeys.forEach((key) => {
	console.log(`Key ${key.id}: epoch ${key.epoch}`);
});

Get Latest Network Encryption Key

Get the most recent encryption key:

const latestKey = await ikaClient.getLatestNetworkEncryptionKey();
console.log('Latest encryption key:', latestKey.id);

Get Specific Network Encryption Key

Retrieve a specific encryption key by ID:

try {
	const encryptionKey = await ikaClient.getNetworkEncryptionKey(encryptionKeyID);
	console.log('Encryption key epoch:', encryptionKey.epoch);
} catch (error) {
	if (error instanceof ObjectNotFoundError) {
		console.error('Encryption key not found:', encryptionKeyID);
	}
}

Get dWallet's Network Encryption Key

Automatically detect which encryption key a dWallet uses:

const dwalletEncryptionKey = await ikaClient.getDWalletNetworkEncryptionKey(dWalletID);
console.log('dWallet uses encryption key:', dwalletEncryptionKey.id);

Get Configured Network Encryption Key

Get the network encryption key based on client configuration:

// Returns the configured encryption key if set, otherwise returns the latest
const configuredKey = await ikaClient.getConfiguredNetworkEncryptionKey();
console.log('Configured encryption key:', configuredKey.id);

Protocol Parameters and Configuration

Get Protocol Public Parameters

Retrieve cryptographic parameters for the network. Parameters are cached by encryption key ID and curve:

// Get parameters for a specific dWallet (automatically detects encryption key and curve)
const dWallet = await ikaClient.getDWallet(dWalletID);
const parameters = await ikaClient.getProtocolPublicParameters(dWallet);
 
// Get parameters using client's configured encryption key with a specific curve
const parametersForCurve = await ikaClient.getProtocolPublicParameters(undefined, 'SECP256K1');
 
// Get parameters using client's configured encryption key (defaults to SECP256K1)
const defaultParameters = await ikaClient.getProtocolPublicParameters();

Get Current Epoch

Retrieve the current network epoch:

const epoch = await ikaClient.getEpoch();
console.log('Current epoch:', epoch);

Configure Encryption Key Options

Manage client encryption key settings:

// Get current options
const currentOptions = ikaClient.getEncryptionKeyOptions();
 
// Set specific encryption key
ikaClient.setEncryptionKeyID(specificEncryptionKeyID);
 
// Set comprehensive options
ikaClient.setEncryptionKeyOptions({
	encryptionKeyID: specificEncryptionKeyID,
	autoDetect: false,
});

Cache Management

Check Cached Parameters

Check if protocol parameters are cached for an encryption key and curve:

const isCached = ikaClient.isProtocolPublicParametersCached(encryptionKeyID, 'SECP256K1');
if (isCached) {
	const cachedParams = ikaClient.getCachedProtocolPublicParameters(encryptionKeyID, 'SECP256K1');
	console.log('Using cached parameters');
}

Cache Invalidation

Manage client cache for optimal performance:

// Invalidate all caches (objects, encryption keys, and protocol parameters)
ikaClient.invalidateCache();
 
// Invalidate only object cache (coordinator and system inner objects)
ikaClient.invalidateObjectCache();
 
// Invalidate only encryption key cache
ikaClient.invalidateEncryptionKeyCache();
 
// Invalidate specific protocol parameters for a key and curve combination
ikaClient.invalidateProtocolPublicParametersCache(encryptionKeyID, 'SECP256K1');
 
// Invalidate all curves for a specific encryption key
ikaClient.invalidateProtocolPublicParametersCache(encryptionKeyID);
 
// Invalidate all protocol parameters for all keys and curves
ikaClient.invalidateProtocolPublicParametersCache();
