What it is

A C++ SDK for deploying and interacting with Quip smart contracts on Ethereum networks, with integrated post-quantum Winternitz signature support for quantum-resistant wallet operations. The core capability is managing Quip wallets (deployed via QuipFactory) with cryptographic security primitives, enabling fund transfers and contract execution through a command-line interface or programmatic C++ API. Single-module architecture: include/ contains public headers (quip_wallet.hpp, quip_factory.hpp, cli.hpp, mock_wallet.hpp), src/ implements core logic (quip_wallet.cpp, quip_factory.cpp, cli.cpp) plus a main.cpp entry point, test/ holds unit tests, and build.sh orchestrates CMake compilation.…

Start here

Open these first:

• include/quip_wallet.hpp — Core QuipWallet abstraction defining wallet operations, fund transfers, and ownership management—every feature builds on…
• src/quip_wallet.cpp — Implementation of wallet logic including signature verification and contract interaction—must understand this to debug…
• include/quip_factory.hpp — Factory pattern for deploying and managing Quip wallet instances—critical entry point for wallet creation workflow.
• src/quip_factory.cpp — Wallet deployment and initialization logic—essential for understanding multi-wallet lifecycle and network integration.
• src/cli.cpp — Command-line interface parsing and dispatch—defines all user-facing commands and argument handling patterns.

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

git clone https://github.com/QuipNetwork/cpp-sdk.git
cd cpp-sdk
./build.sh

This clones the repo and runs CMake build + test suite. For E2E testing, you must first deploy contracts via the ethereum-sdk repo and configure contract addresses in that project's addresses.json.

Daily commands:

After ./build.sh completes, run CLI via ./build/quip-cli <command> [args]. Example: ./build/quip-cli balance 0x... queries an address balance, or ./build/quip-cli deposit <entropy> deploys a new wallet. For E2E:…

Key cautions & unknowns

• Slowing — last commit 10mo ago
• Solo or near-solo (1 contributor active in recent commits)
• AGPL-3.0 is copyleft — check downstream compatibility
• 1. Contract addresses must be pre-deployed via ethereum-sdk and manually injected into addresses.json or environment variables; no default hardcoded addresses suggest the SDK requires external setup. 2. hashsigs-cpp is…
• Published-advisory coverage was unavailable for the captured dependencies.
• Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
