Guide for Integrating Gen6 to CEX

Technical Guide for Integrating Gen6 Public Chain (Native Layer1 Blockchain) with CEX Systems

This technical guide provides the necessary steps and details to integrate Gen6's native Layer1 blockchain (based on Substrate/Polkadot technology) into the centralized exchanges (CEX). The integration uses WebSocket Secure (WSS) for API communication and integrates seamlessly with standard web2 systems.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the integration, ensure you have the following:

• API access to Gen6: Ensure that you can access the WebSocket endpoint for Gen6 Public Chain wss://gen6.app:443/node

• SubWallet Support: Gen6 App or SubWallet should be installed and configured for interacting with the Gen6 Public blockchain.

• Knowledge of Substrate: Familiarity with Substrate-based blockchain systems and Polkadot.js API.

• Basic exchange API knowledge: Access to CEX API documentation for integration with external blockchains.

Note: If you'd like to use the public explorer, it is also available at https://explorer.gen6.app/.

Overview of the Integration Process

1. Establish WebSocket Connection

2. Query Network Information

3. Handle Deposits and Withdrawals

4. Wallet Management

5. Test & Debug Integration

6. Summary

1. Establish WebSocket Connection

The first step is to establish a WebSocket connection to the G6 Networks blockchain node. This allows you to interact with the blockchain in real-time.

WSS Endpoint:

The connection can be established using the Polkadot.js API, which is compatible with Substrate-based blockchains.

If you are using python3, we recommend substrate-interface for the communication - PyPi Site

For JavaScript based conenctions, there is @polkadot{.js}

2. Query Network Information

Once connected, you can query network information such as block number, network name, and chain details. This will help validate the connection and gather necessary data for the exchange integration.

substrate = SubstrateInterface(url="ws://127.0.0.1:9944")
result = substrate.query('System', 'Account', ['F4xQKRUagnSGjFqafyhajLs94e7Vvzvr8ebwYJceKpr8R7T'])
print(result.value['data']['free']) # 635278638077956496

3. Handle Deposits and Withdrawals through Balances.transfer

Once the WebSocket connection is established and transaction monitoring is set up, the next step is to handle deposit and withdrawal functionality for users on CEX. This involves creating and managing wallet addresses, listening for incoming transfers, and submitting outgoing transactions.

call = substrate.compose_call(
    call_module='Balances',
    call_function='transfer',
    call_params={
        'dest': '5E9oDs9PjpsBbxXxRE9uMaZZhnBAV38n2ouLB28oecBDdeQo',
        'value': 1 * 10**12
    }
)

4. Wallet Management

For wallet management on Vindax CEX, you can use SubWallet for creating and managing user wallets. SubWallet is a browser extension that supports Substrate-based chains, including G6 Networks.

Creating a Wallet:

1. For interacting with the Gen6 Public Chain users need to create their wallet using SubWallet, and can obtain their G6 public address for deposits and withdrawals.

2. For transaction signing, SubWallet supports signing with the private key stored in the browser extension.

5. Test & Debug Integration

After the WebSocket connection, transaction monitoring, and deposit/withdrawal systems are implemented, thoroughly test the integration.

1. Unit Tests: Test WebSocket connection, event listeners, and transaction submissions independently.

2. Integration Tests: Simulate deposits and withdrawals to ensure that they are reflected accurately on the CEX.

You can always verify the values against the gen6.app WSS API.

6. Summary

Integrating G6 Networks' native Layer1 blockchain (Substrate-based) into the Vindax exchange involves establishing a secure WebSocket connection, querying network data, and monitoring transactions for deposits and withdrawals. Substrate's flexible framework makes this process efficient, allowing you to take full advantage of the blockchain's features.

Once testing is complete and everything is functioning as expected, deploy the integration to production.

1. Ensure that the WebSocket connection is reliable and handles reconnects automatically if the connection drops.

2. Monitor the system for any issues, particularly with transaction processing and balances.

Important Considerations:

1. Ensure your security protocols are in place when handling user wallets and private keys.

2. Set up error handling and retries for WebSocket connections to ensure system reliability.

This guide shall provide a solid foundation for integrating the Gen6 Public Chain into Vindax CEX.
