Building spends

When your app does something on-chain — mint a store, advance a capsule, pay in $DIG, mint an NFT — it builds the spend with the canonical CHIP-0035 spend builder and hands it to the wallet to sign. You never hand-roll a spend bundle. This is the exact pattern the hub and CLI use, so your app produces byte-identical spends.

The build → sign → broadcast split​

  1. Build — the wasm builder constructs the coin spends. It is offline and pure: no keys, no network.
  2. Sign — the user's wallet (which holds the keys, not your app) signs them.
  3. Broadcast — combine into a spend bundle and push it to the network.
import { ChiaProvider } from "@dignetwork/dig-sdk";
import * as spend from "@dignetwork/dig-sdk/spend"; // the chip35 wasm builder

spend.init();

// 1. BUILD with the wasm — e.g. spend.mintStore(...) / spend.updateStoreMetadata(...) /
//    spend.buildDigPayment(...). Pure + offline.
const coinSpends = /* spend.mintStore({ ... }) */ [];

// 2. SIGN with the wallet (keys live in the wallet, never in your app).
const provider = await ChiaProvider.connect({ mode: "auto" });
const aggregatedSignature = await provider.signCoinSpends(coinSpends);

// 3. BROADCAST — combine into a spend bundle and push it.

Why never hand-roll​

The CHIP-0035 wasm is the single canonical source of spend bundles across the whole ecosystem (CLI, hub, SDK). Hand-rolling a puzzle or a coin spell risks producing a coin that doesn't match the on-chain layout the network expects — and silently burning funds. Building through the wasm guarantees your spend is the same the rest of DIG produces.

Delegation (admin / writer / oracle) — the primitive behind Teams and CI deploy tokens — is built the same way through the wasm, never as a hand-written puzzle.
