ZcashJS

🚀 A JavaScript Wrapper for Zcash RPC

ZcashJS is a lightweight JavaScript wrapper for Zcash's RPC interface. It enables seamless interaction with a running zcashd node, allowing to manage wallets, send transactions, and query blockchain data in a Node.js environment.

📌 Features

✅ Wallet Management – Create addresses, check balances, send transactions (T/Z-addresses)
✅ Blockchain Queries – Retrieve block info, transaction details, and network stats
✅ Shielded Transactions – Support for Z-address transactions
✅ Easy Integration – Simple async/await API for better usability
✅ Error Handling – Proper exception management for RPC failures

📦 Installation

npm install zcashjs

🔧 Setup

Ensure you have a running zcashd node with RPC enabled. Edit your zcash.conf:

rpcuser=your_rpc_user
rpcpassword=your_rpc_password
rpcport=8232  # 18232 for testnet
server=1

Then start your node:

zcashd

🛠 Usage

const ZcashRPC = require("zcashjs");

const rpc = new ZcashRPC();

rpc.getBlockchainInfo().then(console.log);
rpc.getNewAddress().then(console.log);
rpc.sendToAddress("recipient_address", 10.0).then(console.log);
rpc.getZBalance("address").then(console.log);
rpc.createNewAccount().then(console.log);
rpc.getNewShieldedAddress("account").then(console.log);
rpc.zSendMany("fromAddress", [{ address: "toAddress", amount: 1.0 }]).then(console.log);
rpc.zGetOperationStatus(["opid"]).then(console.log);
rpc.generateBlocks(1).then(console.log);

📜 Available Methods

• getNewAddress() – Generate a new transparent address
• getZBalance(address) – Check balance of a transparent or shielded address
• sendToAddress(toAddress, amount) – Send ZEC to a transparent address
• createNewAccount() – Create a new shielded account
• getNewShieldedAddress(account) – Get a shielded address for an account
• zSendMany(fromAddress, recipients) – Send ZEC to multiple recipients in a shielded transaction
• zGetOperationStatus(opids) – Check the status of shielded transactions
• generateBlocks(count) – Generate a specified number of blocks
• getBlockchainInfo() – Retrieve blockchain status

ZcashJS makes it easy to interact with Zcash nodes using JavaScript. Happy coding! 🚀
