Notus API

Swap Guide

Step-by-step guide to swapping tokens with the Notus API.

Steps

Create a directory

mkdir my-create-swap
cd my-create-swap
touch index.js

Init project

npm init -y
pnpm init -y
yarn init -y
bun init -y

Install viem

We’ll use viem, a library for blockchain interactions, to simplify our integration. Install it by running:

npm i viem
pnpm add viem
yarn add viem
bun add viem

Initialize Wallet Account

Use your private key to initialize a wallet account. This will allow you to sign messages and interact with the blockchain.

import { privateKeyToAccount } from 'viem/accounts'

const BASE_URL = "https://api.notus.team/api/v1"
const API_KEY = "<api-key>"

const UNI_POLYGON = '0xb33eaad8d922b1083446dc23f610c2567fb5180f'
const USDC_POLYGON = '0x3c499c542cEF5E3811e1192ce70d8cC03d5c3359' 

const privateKey = '0x<private-key>'
const account = privateKeyToAccount(privateKey)

Register a Smart Wallet Address

Before initiating a swap, register and retrieve the smart wallet address used for Account Abstraction.

async function main() {
  const FACTORY_ADDRESS = "0x0000000000400CdFef5E2714E63d8040b700BC24"
  const externallyOwnedAccount = account.address

  let res = await fetch(`${BASE_URL}/wallets/register`, {
    method: "POST",
    headers: {
      "Content-Type": "application/json",
      "x-api-key": API_KEY,
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      externallyOwnedAccount: externallyOwnedAccount,
      factory: FACTORY_ADDRESS,
      salt: "0",
    }),
  });

  if (!res?.ok) {
    return
  }

  const response = await res.json();

  const smartWalletAddress = response.wallet.accountAbstraction
}

Note: At this stage, the smart wallet address is not yet deployed onchain. Deployment happens automatically with the user's first onchain transaction (e.g., swap or transfer) via a UserOperation.

Create a Swap Quote

Query a swap quote for token swaps on the same chain (e.g., USDC to UNI on Polygon).

const { data } = await fetch(`${BASE_URL}/crypto/swap`, {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'x-api-key': API_KEY,
  },
  body: JSON.stringify(
    {
      payGasFeeToken: USDC_POLYGON,
      tokenIn: USDC_POLYGON,
      tokenOut: UNI_POLYGON,
      amountIn: "5",
      walletAddress: smartWalletAddress,
      toAddress: smartWalletAddress,
      signerAddress: externallyOwnedAccount,
      chainIdIn: 137,
      chainIdOut: 137,
      gasFeePaymentMethod: "DEDUCT_FROM_AMOUNT",
    }
  ),
}).then((res) => res.json())

If you are swapping from a native token (e.g., ETH, BNB, AVAX), use the following address as tokenIn: 0xeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. This ensures that the Notus API recognizes the asset as a native token.

Note: The payGasFeeToken field should contain the address of an ERC-20 token held in the smart wallet. This token will be used to pay both the partner’s transactionFeePercent and the gas fees for the UserOperation. In most cases, payGasFeeToken is the same as token, typically the token the user already holds in their wallet.

Execute Swap

Once you have a quote, sign and execute the swap operation.

  const signature = await account.signMessage({
    message: {
      raw: data.quoteId,
    },
  })
  
  const { userOpHash } = await fetch(`${BASE_URL}/crypto/execute-user-op`, {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      'x-api-key': API_KEY,
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({ signature, quoteId: data.quoteId }),
  }).then((res) => res.json())

  console.log(userOpHash)
