Wallet plugin development tutorial #408

Closed mbaneshi closed 6 months ago

mbaneshi commented 8 months ago

Summary

Tutorial about how plugin works , how develop them

Context

Wallet v3 and Wallet v4 Differences The only difference between Wallet v3 and Wallet v4 is that Wallet v4 makes use of plugins that can be installed and deleted. These plugins are special smart contracts which are able to request a specific number of TON at a specific time from a wallet smart contract.

Wallet smart contracts, in turn, will send the required amount of TON in response without the need for the owner to participate. This is similar to the subscription model for which plugins are created. We will not learn these details, because this is out of the scope of this tutorial. These are from wallet tutorial

@mbaneshi, thank you for your initiative! Our current focus does not include plans for writing an article similar to the one proposed, as there already exists documentation on this topic, notably seen at https://docs.ton.org/participate/wallets/contracts#wallet-v3. I appreciate your understanding and wish you the best in your future endeavors.

Proposal for Tutorial Creation: Understanding and Developing Plugins for Wallet v4

@pranav-singhal, thank you for your proposal. From what I've observed, the challenge lies in the use cases that the community can offer. Currently, there are only a few suggestions regarding the development of subscription payment solutions for access to the closed channel, with ProTON being the only visible solution at the moment.

Once this resonates with the community and we see a genuine need for it, it will be implemented!
