• getBalance: Retrieves the balance of all ERC20 tokens the wallet owns.  
• getTransactions: Returns a list of transactions of the wallet.
  ‍

You can find these API methods in documentation for React Native, iOS and Android.

React Native 0.3.7: Progress callbacks for MPC operations added to enable developers to check in on the status of each MPC operation.

We are excited to introduce Transaction Simulation on Portal so you can protect your users from accidental or malicious transactions on the blockchain! Support for api.simulateTransaction() function is now available starting iOS 1.1.8, Android 1.1.4 and React Native 1.1.3.

‍

Release Version Highlights

iOS 1.1.0, Android 1.1.0, React Native 1.1.0: 

• PortalConnect now manages its own Provider instance to prepare for wallet_switchEthereumChain support.
• PortalConnect is no longer initialized via PortalConnect(portal) class. Instead use Portal.createPortalConnectInstance(). This is a breaking change required to support the Provider update listed above.
• PortalConnect now manages session state internally. All calls to PortalConnect.connect(uri) that already have an active session will be ignored to prevent errors with existing WebSocket connections.
• Enabled disconnect from PortalConnect.
• Helper methods have been added to the Portal class for the following:
  - MPC: createWallet, backupWallet, recoverWallet  
  - Provider: emit, ethSendTransaction, ethSign, ethSignTransaction, ethSignTypedData, on, personalSign, request  
  - Keychain: deleteAddress, deleteSigningShare  
  - PortalConnect: createPortalConnectInstance

React Native 1.0.5: Keys values stored in KeyChain with clientId to support multiple clients on one device.

Release Version Highlights

iOS 1.0.0, Android 1.0.0, React Native 1.0.0: 

Updates: Support for Wallet Safeguarding

• Manages the state of the wallet during state-changing MPC Operations to track the wallet lifecycle
• Requires use of portal.api.storedClientBackupShare after backup or recover
• Adds client side check if already running a state-changing MPC Operations and prevents concurrent calls
• Adds additional verification to ensure cloud storage is available before running backup
  ‍

Breaking Changes

• After running portal.mpc.backup or portal.mpc.recover and successfully saving the returned backup cipher text to your backend, you must call portal.api.storedClientBackupShare in order to correctly update the state of the wallet.
  ‍

You can find more details in our iOS, Android or React Native backup and recover docs, but a summarized version of the new flow and the required change below:
‍
Backup

1. Generate an encrypted client backup share using portal.mpc.backup.
2. Send the resulting backup share to your API and store it.
3. (NEW REQUIREMENT) Call portal.api.storedClientBackupShare to notify Portal that the encrypted client backup share was saved successfully.

Recover‍

1. Retrieve the encrypted client backup share from your API.
2. Get a new encrypted client backup share from running portal.mpc.recover.
3. Send the new backup share to your API and store it.
4. (NEW REQUIREMENT) Call portal.api.storedClientBackupShare to notify Portal that the client backup share was saved successfully.
‍

We're excited to announce our native swaps integration with 0x protocol. With this integration you can enable swaps through the Portal SDK and access these features:

• Enable swaps for your users across thousands of tokens on all ETH and EVM-compatible blockchains;
• Tap into aggregated liquidity across DEXs with one simple integration;
• Set and take fees onchain by charging a spread on each transaction, instantly generating revenue;
• Build your own user interface on top of Swaps into your app;
• Curate the types of tokens you choose to make available to your users
  ‍

Available across React Native, iOS and Android SDKs.

Wallet Connect v1 and v2 support is added for iOS 0.2.0 and Android 0.9.0! You can find documentation on Wallet Connect support here for iOS, Android and React Native.

Portal's Wallet Connect support benefits developers in a few key ways:

Automatic patches and upgrades

Portal's implementation pushes all third-party integrations such as WalletConnect to the server. This design ensures Portal can patch breaking changes and upgrades from the third party provider before they become issues for developers.

No dependencies

Because WalletConnect is integrated directly into the Portal SDK, a developer only needs to implement the functionality as per Portal documentation. In addition, if an organization determines they want to use WalletConnect later in their development cycle, the integration is just as simple and doesn’t require any reworking of the code.
