ssUSD Integration Guide

This guide walks you through integrating StateSet USD (ssUSD) into your application, from basic setup to advanced features.

🚀 Quick Start

1. Get Your API Keys

Create Account

Complete KYC

Submit required documents for compliance (takes ~5 minutes)

Generate API Keys

Navigate to Settings → API Keys → Create New Key

2. Install SDK

npm install @stateset/sdk

3. Initialize Client

import { StateSet } from '@stateset/sdk';

const stateset = new StateSet({
  apiKey: process.env.STATESET_API_KEY,
  network: 'mainnet' // or 'testnet' for development
});

// Test connection
const balance = await stateset.stablecoin.balance({
  address: 'your_wallet_address'
});
console.log('ssUSD Balance:', balance.amount);

💳 Common Use Cases

E-Commerce Payments

Accept ssUSD payments with instant settlement and no chargebacks:

// Create payment request
async function createPayment(amount, orderId) {
  const payment = await stateset.payments.create({
    amount: amount,
    currency: 'ssusd',
    metadata: {
      order_id: orderId,
      customer_email: 'customer@example.com'
    },
    webhook_url: 'https://yoursite.com/webhooks/payment'
  });
  
  return payment.payment_address;
}

// Verify payment received
async function verifyPayment(paymentId) {
  const payment = await stateset.payments.get(paymentId);
  
  if (payment.status === 'completed') {
    // Process order fulfillment
    await fulfillOrder(payment.metadata.order_id);
  }
}

Payroll & Disbursements

Send bulk payments efficiently:

// Batch payroll payments
async function processPayroll(employees) {
  const transfers = employees.map(emp => ({
    to: emp.wallet_address,
    amount: emp.salary_ssusd,
    memo: `Payroll ${new Date().toISOString().slice(0, 7)}`
  }));
  
  const batch = await stateset.stablecoin.batchTransfer({
    transfers,
    idempotency_key: `payroll_${Date.now()}`
  });
  
  // Send notifications
  for (const result of batch.results) {
    if (result.success) {
      await notifyEmployee(result.to, result.transaction_hash);
    }
  }
  
  return batch;
}

Treasury Management

Hold and manage corporate ssUSD reserves:

// Corporate treasury dashboard
class TreasuryManager {
  async getOverview() {
    const [balance, reserves, transactions] = await Promise.all([
      stateset.stablecoin.balance({ address: this.treasuryAddress }),
      stateset.stablecoin.reserves(),
      stateset.stablecoin.transactions({ 
        address: this.treasuryAddress,
        limit: 100 
      })
    ]);
    
    return {
      current_balance: balance.amount,
      reserve_backing: reserves.total_usd,
      recent_activity: transactions,
      health_score: this.calculateHealthScore(balance, transactions)
    };
  }
  
  async optimizeYield(amount) {
    // Check available yield opportunities
    const opportunities = await stateset.finance.yieldOpportunities({
      asset: 'ssusd',
      amount: amount,
      risk_level: 'low'
    });
    
    // Deploy to best opportunity
    if (opportunities[0].apy > 0.03) { // 3% APY threshold
      return await stateset.finance.deployCapital({
        opportunity_id: opportunities[0].id,
        amount: amount
      });
    }
  }
}

🔐 Security Best Practices

API Key Management

Never expose your secret API key in client-side code or public repositories!

// ❌ WRONG - Never do this
const stateset = new StateSet({
  apiKey: 'sk_live_abcd1234' // Exposed key!
});

// ✅ CORRECT - Use environment variables
const stateset = new StateSet({
  apiKey: process.env.STATESET_API_KEY
});

// ✅ CORRECT - Use restricted keys for client-side
const publicClient = new StateSet({
  apiKey: process.env.STATESET_PUBLIC_KEY // pk_ prefix
});

Transaction Security

Implement proper validation and limits:

class SecureTransferService {
  constructor() {
    this.dailyLimit = 100000; // $100k daily limit
    this.perTxLimit = 10000;  // $10k per transaction
  }
  
  async transfer(to, amount, memo) {
    // Validate amount
    if (amount > this.perTxLimit) {
      throw new Error('Transaction exceeds limit');
    }
    
    // Check daily volume
    const dailyVolume = await this.getDailyVolume();
    if (dailyVolume + amount > this.dailyLimit) {
      throw new Error('Daily limit exceeded');
    }
    
    // Validate recipient
    if (!this.isValidAddress(to)) {
      throw new Error('Invalid recipient address');
    }
    
    // Execute with idempotency
    return await stateset.stablecoin.transfer({
      to,
      amount,
      memo,
      idempotency_key: `transfer_${Date.now()}_${to}`
    });
  }
}

📊 Monitoring & Analytics

Real-Time Balance Monitoring

// WebSocket subscription for balance updates
const ws = stateset.subscriptions.connect();

ws.subscribe('balance.updated', async (event) => {
  console.log('New balance:', event.balance);
  
  // Alert on large changes
  if (Math.abs(event.change) > 10000) {
    await sendAlert({
      type: 'large_balance_change',
      amount: event.change,
      new_balance: event.balance
    });
  }
});

// Historical balance tracking
async function getBalanceHistory(days = 30) {
  const history = [];
  const now = Date.now();
  
  for (let i = 0; i < days; i++) {
    const timestamp = now - (i * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
    const balance = await stateset.stablecoin.balance({
      address: treasuryAddress,
      at_timestamp: timestamp
    });
    
    history.push({
      date: new Date(timestamp).toISOString().slice(0, 10),
      balance: balance.amount
    });
  }
  
  return history;
}

Transaction Analytics

// Analyze transaction patterns
async function analyzeTransactions(address, period = '30d') {
  const transactions = await stateset.stablecoin.transactions({
    address,
    period,
    limit: 1000
  });
  
  const analytics = {
    total_volume: 0,
    transaction_count: transactions.length,
    average_size: 0,
    largest_transaction: 0,
    counterparties: new Set(),
    daily_pattern: {}
  };
  
  transactions.forEach(tx => {
    analytics.total_volume += tx.amount;
    analytics.largest_transaction = Math.max(
      analytics.largest_transaction, 
      tx.amount
    );
    analytics.counterparties.add(
      tx.from === address ? tx.to : tx.from
    );
    
    const date = new Date(tx.timestamp).toISOString().slice(0, 10);
    analytics.daily_pattern[date] = 
      (analytics.daily_pattern[date] || 0) + tx.amount;
  });
  
  analytics.average_size = 
    analytics.total_volume / analytics.transaction_count;
  analytics.unique_counterparties = analytics.counterparties.size;
  
  return analytics;
}

🌐 Multi-Chain Integration

Bridge to Other Chains

// Bridge ssUSD to Base
async function bridgeToBase(amount) {
  const bridge = await stateset.bridge.create({
    from_chain: 'stateset',
    to_chain: 'base',
    asset: 'ssusd',
    amount: amount,
    recipient: baseAddress
  });
  
  // Monitor bridge progress
  const status = await stateset.bridge.track(bridge.id);
  console.log('Bridge status:', status);
  
  return bridge;
}

// Cross-chain balance aggregation
async function getTotalBalance(addresses) {
  const balances = await Promise.all([
    stateset.stablecoin.balance({ 
      address: addresses.stateset,
      chain: 'stateset' 
    }),
    stateset.stablecoin.balance({ 
      address: addresses.base,
      chain: 'base' 
    }),
    stateset.stablecoin.balance({ 
      address: addresses.solana,
      chain: 'solana' 
    })
  ]);
  
  return balances.reduce((sum, b) => sum + b.amount, 0);
}

🧪 Testing

Test Mode

Use test mode for development:

const testClient = new StateSet({
  apiKey: process.env.STATESET_TEST_KEY,
  network: 'testnet'
});

// Get test ssUSD
async function getTestFunds() {
  const faucet = await testClient.faucet.request({
    asset: 'ssusd',
    amount: 10000, // $10k test ssUSD
    address: testAddress
  });
  
  return faucet;
}

Integration Tests

describe('ssUSD Integration', () => {
  it('should transfer funds successfully', async () => {
    const initialBalance = await getBalance(senderAddress);
    
    const transfer = await stateset.stablecoin.transfer({
      to: recipientAddress,
      amount: '100.00'
    });
    
    expect(transfer.status).toBe('completed');
    
    const finalBalance = await getBalance(senderAddress);
    expect(finalBalance).toBe(initialBalance - 100);
  });
  
  it('should handle insufficient funds', async () => {
    await expect(
      stateset.stablecoin.transfer({
        to: recipientAddress,
        amount: '1000000.00' // More than balance
      })
    ).rejects.toThrow('Insufficient funds');
  });
});

🚨 Error Handling

Common Errors and Solutions

try {
  const transfer = await stateset.stablecoin.transfer({...});
} catch (error) {
  switch(error.code) {
    case 'insufficient_funds':
      // Handle low balance
      console.error('Not enough ssUSD');
      break;
      
    case 'invalid_address':
      // Handle bad recipient
      console.error('Check recipient address format');
      break;
      
    case 'compliance_block':
      // Handle compliance issues
      console.error('Transaction blocked for compliance');
      await handleComplianceBlock(error.details);
      break;
      
    case 'rate_limit':
      // Handle rate limiting
      console.error('Too many requests');
      await sleep(error.retry_after * 1000);
      break;
      
    default:
      console.error('Unknown error:', error);
  }
}
