🔗 Wallet to Chain Connection - Demonstration

This guide demonstrates how to connect wallets to blockchain chains using the enhanced AITBC CLI with multi-chain support.

🚀 Prerequisites

1. Wallet Daemon Running: Ensure the multi-chain wallet daemon is running
2. CLI Updated: Use the updated CLI with multi-chain support
3. Daemon Mode: All chain operations require --use-daemon flag

📋 Available Multi-Chain Commands

wallet --use-daemon chain list

# Create a new chain
wallet --use-daemon chain create <chain_id> <name> <coordinator_url> <coordinator_api_key>

# Get chain status
wallet --use-daemon chain status

Chain-Specific Wallet Operations

# List wallets in a specific chain
wallet --use-daemon chain wallets <chain_id>

# Get wallet info in a specific chain

🎯 Step-by-Step Demonstration

Step 1: Check Chain Status

$ wallet --use-daemon chain status

{
  "total_chains": 2,
  "active_chains": 2,
  "total_wallets": 8,
  "chains": [
    {
      "chain_id": "ait-devnet",
      "name": "AITBC Development Network",
      "status": "active",
      "wallet_count": 5,
      "recent_activity": 10
    },
    {
      "chain_id": "ait-testnet",
      "name": "AITBC Test Network",
      "status": "active",
      "wallet_count": 3,
      "recent_activity": 5
    }
  ]
}

Step 2: List Available Chains

$ wallet --use-daemon chain list

{
  "chains": [
    {
      "chain_id": "ait-devnet",
      "name": "AITBC Development Network",
      "status": "active",
      "coordinator_url": "http://localhost:8011",
      "created_at": "2026-01-01T00:00:00Z",
      "updated_at": "2026-01-01T00:00:00Z",
      "wallet_count": 5,
      "recent_activity": 10
    },
    {
      "chain_id": "ait-testnet",
      "name": "AITBC Test Network",
      "status": "active",
      "coordinator_url": "http://localhost:8012",
      "created_at": "2026-01-01T00:00:00Z",
      "updated_at": "2026-01-01T00:00:00Z",
      "wallet_count": 3,
      "recent_activity": 5
    }
  ],
  "count": 2,
  "mode": "daemon"
}

Step 3: Create a New Chain

$ wallet --use-daemon chain create ait-mainnet "AITBC Main Network" "http://localhost:8013" "mainnet-api-key"

✅ Created chain: ait-mainnet
{
  "chain_id": "ait-mainnet",
  "name": "AITBC Main Network",
  "status": "active",
  "coordinator_url": "http://localhost:8013",
  "created_at": "2026-01-01T00:00:00Z",
  "updated_at": "2026-01-01T00:00:00Z",
  "wallet_count": 0,
  "recent_activity": 0
}

Step 4: Create Wallet in Specific Chain

$ wallet --use-daemon create-in-chain ait-devnet my-dev-wallet

Enter password for wallet 'my-dev-wallet': ********
Confirm password for wallet 'my-dev-wallet': ********

✅ Created wallet 'my-dev-wallet' in chain 'ait-devnet'
{
  "mode": "daemon",
  "chain_id": "ait-devnet",
  "wallet_name": "my-dev-wallet",
  "public_key": "ed25519:abc123...",
  "address": "aitbc1xyz...",
  "created_at": "2026-01-01T00:00:00Z",
  "wallet_type": "hd",
  "metadata": {
    "wallet_type": "hd",
    "encrypted": true,
    "created_at": "2026-01-01T00:00:00Z"
  }
}

Step 5: List Wallets in Chain

$ wallet --use-daemon chain wallets ait-devnet

{
  "chain_id": "ait-devnet",
  "wallets": [
    {
      "mode": "daemon",
      "chain_id": "ait-devnet",
      "wallet_name": "my-dev-wallet",
      "public_key": "ed25519:abc123...",
      "address": "aitbc1xyz...",
      "created_at": "2026-01-01T00:00:00Z",
      "metadata": {
        "wallet_type": "hd",
        "encrypted": true,
        "created_at": "2026-01-01T00:00:00Z"
      }
    }
  ],
  "count": 1,
  "mode": "daemon"
}

Step 6: Get Wallet Balance in Chain

$ wallet --use-daemon chain balance ait-devnet my-dev-wallet

{
  "chain_id": "ait-devnet",
  "wallet_name": "my-dev-wallet",
  "balance": 100.5,
  "mode": "daemon"
}

Step 7: Migrate Wallet Between Chains

$ wallet --use-daemon chain migrate ait-devnet ait-testnet my-dev-wallet

Enter password for wallet 'my-dev-wallet': ********

✅ Migrated wallet 'my-dev-wallet' from 'ait-devnet' to 'ait-testnet'
{
  "success": true,
  "source_wallet": {
    "chain_id": "ait-devnet",
    "wallet_name": "my-dev-wallet",
    "public_key": "ed25519:abc123...",
    "address": "aitbc1xyz..."
  },
  "target_wallet": {
    "chain_id": "ait-testnet",
    "wallet_name": "my-dev-wallet",
    "public_key": "ed25519:abc123...",
    "address": "aitbc1xyz..."
  },
  "migration_timestamp": "2026-01-01T00:00:00Z"
}

🚨 Important Notes

Daemon Mode Required

• All chain operations require --use-daemon flag
• File-based wallets do not support multi-chain operations
• Chain operations will fail if daemon is not available

Chain Isolation

• Wallets are completely isolated between chains
• Same wallet ID can exist in multiple chains with different keys
• Migration creates a new wallet instance in target chain

Password Management

• Each chain wallet maintains its own password
• Migration can use same or different password for target chain
• Use --new-password option for migration password changes

🎉 Success Indicators

Successful Chain Connection

• ✅ Chain status shows active chains
• ✅ Wallet creation succeeds in specific chains
• ✅ Chain-specific wallet operations work
• ✅ Migration completes successfully
• ✅ Balance checks return chain-specific data

Troubleshooting

• ❌ "Chain operations require daemon mode" → Add --use-daemon flag
• ❌ "Wallet daemon is not available" → Start wallet daemon
• ❌ "Chain not found" → Check chain ID and create chain if needed
• ❌ "Wallet not found in chain" → Verify wallet exists in that chain
