Overview

Introduction​

Algorand provider is an interface that bridges the gap between dApps and wallets, allowing dApps to connect and interact with wallets in a standardized way.

Algorand provider works towards achieving three main goals:

  1. Creating a common interface between dApps and wallets.
  2. Allowing wallets to work in unison (the window.algorand object should be shared).
  3. Allowing dApps to choose what wallet to use.

How it works​

At its core, AlgorandProvider is instantiated by wallets and assigned to the global window.algorand object within each tab. The allows dApps to interact with a wallet using a common interface.

Algorand provider has also been designed in a way to allow for more than one wallet to occupy the window.algorand object and give the dApp; the user, the choice of what wallet to interact with.
