NOTE

The filename in each subdirectory needs to match the coin's symbol exactly, it is the unique field by which different coins are indexed. Please use .png files for icons

About this repository

This repository is the coins database which is accessed by AtomicDEX API and graphical applications like AtomicDEX Mobile, atomicDEX-Desktop, DogeDEX etc. to enable coins for trading.

ERC20 tokens

• The token contract must have approve and transferFrom methods. Additionally, the transfer and transferFrom methods must return a boolean value (true/false) indicating whether a transfer was successful. This requirement is actually a part of the ERC20 standard, but many tokens seem to not follow it.

When submitting a pull request to add a coin to AtomicDEX-API, make sure you have completed this checklist:

0. The coin must have participated in a successful Atomic Swap using AtomicDEX-API

When submitting your coin addition request, please submit the URLs of the 5 transactions (takerfee sent, maker payment, taker payment and taker payment spent, maker payment spent) produced by successful swap in a new file inside the swaps directory, example. This means that, before going through the further steps and submitting the information to this coins database repo, you would have performed a successful atomic swap. The further steps explain the expected files/values to be submitted.

You can learn about performing an atomic swap from our documentation at this link

General parameters

• "coin" must be coin ticker. If the coin is on more than one chain, please use COIN-CHAIN as ticker, eg USDC-BEP20.
• "fname" must be coin's full name.
• "mm2" all the coins that were successfully atomic swapped through the AtomicDEX-API have this key set to 1 (you have to set this parameter to 1 in your local coins file when testing)
• "required_confirmations" the number of confirmations AtomicDEX will wait for during the swap. Default value is 1. WARNING, this setting affects the security of the atomic swap. 51% attacks (double spending) are a threat and have been succesfully conducted in the past. Read more about it here. You can find a collection of coins and the theoretical cost of a 51% attack here. Please be aware that some of the coins supported by AtomicDEX are vulnerable to such attacks, so consider using higher values for them, especially when dealing with high amounts.
• "requires_notarization" tells AtomicDEX to wait for a notarization during the swap. This only works with dPoW coins and "required_confirmations" must be set to 2 or higher.
• "decimals" defines the number of digits after the decimal point that should be used to display the orderbook amounts, balance, and the value of inputs to be used in the case of order creation or a withdraw transaction. The default value used for a UTXO type coin (Bitcoin Protocol) is 8 and the default value used for a ERC20 Token is 18. It is very important for this value to be set correctly. For example, if this value was set as 9 for BTC, a command to withdraw 1 BTC tries to withdraw 10^9 satoshis of Bitcoin, i.e., 10 BTC
• "protocol" contains the coin protocol "type" (UTXO, ETH, etc.) and specific protocol configuration - "protocol_data" object that can have arbitrary format.
• "orderbook_ticker" If set, coins with the same value will share the same orderbook. For example, if BTC-Segwit and BTC-BEP20 are set with "orderbook_ticker":"BTC" the same orderbook is returned for KMD/BTC, KMD/BTC-BEP20 and KMD/BTC-Segwit pairs.
• sign_message_prefix Optional, required to allow for message signing in AtomicDEX API. Can normally be found within a projects github repository [example] and follows a standard format like "Komodo Signed Message:\n"

Bitcoin Protocol specific JSON

• "name" must be coin's name, in all small letters. This is the value which is expected to be default data directory name for that coin. Example if coin's name is litecoin then it's expected data directory on Linux is ~/.litecoin/, on Mac ~/Library/Applications Support/Litecoin/, on Windows %AppData%\Litecoin. Please keep this key's value in small letters only.
• "confpath" must be ONLY used in case the expected data directory name of the coin/project is different to the "name"'s value, as explained in last point. Please refer to Example 3 for better understanding. Make sure to use the exact format for confpath. You don't need to change the word USERHOME, it remains as is. Make sure you have /. after USERHOME. And then the expected coin/project's data directory path and it's expected .conf file name.
• "rpcport" must be coin's default RPC port. It is expected that it doesn't conflict with any existing coin in the coins db.
• "pubtype", "p2shtype", and "wiftype" is the also very specific information about coin's parameters. This is specific to Bitcoin Protocol compatible coins only, and such information can be found in source code of the project. These parameters information can be expected in files like src/init.cpp, src/base58.h, and src/chainparamsbase.h if the project is following the bitcoin source code directory/files structure. If the parameters info is unclear then please have these confirmed by that coin/project's developers and make sure it's correct information.
• "txfee" is a value of default transactions fee, which must be specified in satoshies unit. AtomicDEX uses this as the default transaction fee value when making atomic swaps transactions. If set to 0, AtomicDEX will use a dynamic fee based on output from estimatesmartfee.
• "overwintered" must be 1 if Overwinter upgrade was activated for the coin.
• "taddr" is only relevant for coins that forked the Zcash protocol and have both transparent addresses and z-addresses. The value to be set for this key can be found from the file src/chainparams.cpp of the coin's source code and it is the first value present in both base58Prefixes[PUBKEY_ADDRESS] and base58Prefixes[SCRIPT_ADDRESS]. But it has to be converted to decimal from HEX. So if base58Prefixes[PUBKEY_ADDRESS] = {0x1C,0xB8} , the taddr is 0x1C coverted to decimal. As 0x1C in HEX = 28 in decimal, the entry in the json will be "taddr" : 28
• force_min_relay_fee - if this key is set to true for coins with dynamic fees, when a new transaction is generated, AtomicDEX-API will check whether the total fee set (sat * tx size) is lower than relay fee and will use the relay fee instead.
• mtp_block_count - number of blocks to be used for the calculation of median time past. Must be greater than 0. Default value is 11. While this parameter is applicable only in the case of KMD reward calculation for now, it will be used for calculating locktimes to be set for the atomic swap refund transactions. Can be ignored for most coins for now.
• estimate_fee_mode - sets the fee mode for the estimatesmartfee call. Supported values are: ECONOMICAL,CONSERVATIVE, UNSET. Please note that some coins may not support some of these modes. Makes no effect for coins that do not have the estimatesmartfee RPC.
• address_format - defines whether to use the standard bitcoin address format or the cash address format for BCH. More formats may be added in the future. Possible values as of now: "address_format":{"format":"standard"} to set the standard BTC/UTXO address format. "address_format":{"format":"cashaddress","network":"NETWORK_ID"} to use BCH specific address format. NETWORK_ID can be: bitcoincash for BCH mainnet, bchtest for BCH testnet and bchreg for BCH regtest.
• isPoS - whether the coin uses proof of stake. This key decides whether the transactions created have the nTime field. Can be 0 or 1.
• segwit - is a boolean value, if set to true, AtomicDEX-API will allow withdrawal to P2SH addresses. Will possibly mean full segwit support in the future.
• version_group_id - sets the version_group_id used by Zcash (and its forks') transactions. Determined automatically by tx version and overwintered if not set.
• consensus_branch_id - sets the consensus_branch_id used in Zcash (and its forks') transactions' signature hash calculation. Determined automatically by tx version and overwintered if not set.
• mature_confirmations - number of blockchain confirmations required for coinbase output to be considered mature (spendable).

7. Trezor coin name (optional)

For Trezor compatibility, this field is required. You can find this value at https://trezor.io/coins. Not all coins are listed on this page by default, but if compatible can be found by searching the supported coins. The value is the name of the coin in larger black text (not the grey text in brackets). E.g. for the image below, the Trezor coin name would be Qtum.
