encryptFile(params: Object): Promise<Object>
Parameters
params (Object)
Name Description
params.file (Blob | File) The file you wish to encrypt
Returns
Promise<Object>: A promise containing an object with keys encryptedFile and symmetricKey. encryptedFile is a Blob, and symmetricKey is a Uint8Array that can be used to decrypt the file.

decryptFile

Decrypt a file that was encrypted with the encryptFile function, without doing any unzipping or unpacking. This is useful for large files. A 1gb file can be decrypted in only 1 second, for example.

decryptFile(params: Object): Promise<ArrayBuffer>
Parameters
params (Object)
Name Description
params.file (Blob | File) The file you wish to decrypt
params.symmetricKey Uint8Array The symmetric key used that will be used to decrypt this.
Returns
Promise<ArrayBuffer>: A promise containing the decrypted file. The file is an ArrayBuffer.

zipAndEncryptString

Zip and encrypt a string. This is used to encrypt any string that is to be locked via the Lit Protocol.

zipAndEncryptString(string: string): Promise<Object>
Parameters
string (string) The string to zip and encrypt
Returns
Promise<Object>: A promise containing the encryptedZip as a Blob and the symmetricKey used to encrypt it, as a Uint8Array. The encrypted zip will contain a single file called "string.txt"

zipAndEncryptFiles

Zip and encrypt multiple files.

zipAndEncryptFiles(files: Array<File>): Promise<Object>
Parameters
files (Array<File>) An array of the files you wish to zip and encrypt
Returns
Promise<Object>: A promise containing the encryptedZip as a Blob and the symmetricKey used to encrypt it, as a Uint8Array. The encrypted zip will contain a folder "encryptedAssets" and all of the files will be inside it.

encryptFileAndZipWithMetadata

Encrypt a single file, save the key to the Lit network, and then zip it up with the metadata.

encryptFileAndZipWithMetadata(params: Object): Promise<Object>
Parameters
params (Object)
Name Description
params.authSig Object The authSig of the user. Returned via the checkAndSignAuthMessage function
params.accessControlConditions Array<AccessControlCondition> The access control conditions that the user must meet to obtain this signed token. This could be posession of an NFT, for example. You must pass either accessControlConditions or evmContractConditions or solRpcConditions or unifiedAccessControlConditions.
params.evmContractConditions Array<EVMContractCondition> EVM Smart Contract access control conditions that the user must meet to obtain this signed token. This could be posession of an NFT, for example. This is different than accessControlConditions because accessControlConditions only supports a limited number of contract calls. evmContractConditions supports any contract call. You must pass either accessControlConditions or evmContractConditions or solRpcConditions or unifiedAccessControlConditions.
params.solRpcConditions Array<SolRpcCondition> Solana RPC call conditions that the user must meet to obtain this signed token. This could be posession of an NFT, for example.
params.unifiedAccessControlConditions Array<(AccessControlCondition | EVMContractCondition | SolRpcCondition)> An array of unified access control conditions. You may use AccessControlCondition, EVMContractCondition, or SolRpcCondition objects in this array, but make sure you add a conditionType for each one. You must pass either accessControlConditions or evmContractConditions or solRpcConditions or unifiedAccessControlConditions.
params.chain string The chain name of the chain that this contract is deployed on. See LIT_CHAINS for currently supported chains.
params.file File The file you wish to encrypt
params.litNodeClient LitNodeClient An instance of LitNodeClient that is already connected
params.readme string An optional readme text that will be inserted into readme.txt in the final zip file. This is useful in case someone comes across this zip file and wants to know how to decrypt it. This file could contain instructions and a URL to use to decrypt the file.
Returns
Promise<Object>: A promise containing an object with 3 keys: zipBlob, encryptedSymmetricKey, and symmetricKey. zipBlob is a zip file that contains an encrypted file and the metadata needed to decrypt it via the Lit network. encryptedSymmetricKey is the symmetric key needed to decrypt the content, encrypted with the Lit network public key. You may wish to store encryptedSymmetricKey in your own database to support quicker re-encryption operations when adding additional access control conditions in the future, but this is entirely optional, and this key is already stored inside the zipBlob. symmetricKey is the raw symmetric key used to encrypt the files. DO NOT STORE IT. It is provided in case you wish to create additional "OR" access control conditions for the same file.

decryptZipFileWithMetadata

Given a zip file with metadata inside it, unzip, load the metadata, and return the decrypted file and the metadata. This zip file would have been created with the encryptFileAndZipWithMetadata function.

Dynamic Content - Loading content from a server

verifyJwt

Verify a JWT from the LIT network. Use this for auth on your server. For some background, users can define resources (URLs) for authorization via on-chain conditions using the saveSigningCondition function. Other users can then request a signed JWT proving that their ETH account meets those on-chain conditions using the getSignedToken function. Then, servers can verify that JWT using this function. A successful verification proves that the user meets the on-chain conditions defined in the saveSigningCondition step. For example, the on-chain condition could be posession of a specific NFT.

verifyJwt(params: Object): Object
Parameters
params (Object)
Name Description
params.jwt string A JWT signed by the LIT network using the BLS12-381 algorithm
Returns
Object: An object with 4 keys: "verified": A boolean that represents whether or not the token verifies successfully. A true result indicates that the token was successfully verified. "header": the JWT header. "payload": the JWT payload which includes the resource being authorized, etc. "signature": A uint8array that represents the raw signature of the JWT.

Authentication Signature Utilities

checkAndSignAuthMessage

Check for an existing cryptographic authentication signature and create one of it does not exist. This is used to prove ownership of a given crypto wallet address to the Lit nodes. The result is stored in LocalStorage so the user doesn't have to sign every time they perform an operation.

checkAndSignAuthMessage(params: Object): AuthSig
Parameters
params (Object)
Name Description
params.chain string The chain you want to use. Find the supported list of chains here: https://developer.litprotocol.com/docs/supportedChains

params.switchChain Array<boolean> (default true) Optional and only used with EVM chains right now. Set to true by default. Whether or not to ask Metamask or the user's wallet to switch chains before signing. This may be desired if you're going to have the user send a txn on that chain. On the other hand, if all you care about is the user's wallet signature, then you probably don't want to make them switch chains for no reason. Pass false here to disable this chain switching behavior.
params.expiration String Optional ISO 8601 datetime string you can use to set the expiration time on the SIWE message
params.uri any
Returns
AuthSig: The AuthSig created or retrieved

signAndSaveAuthMessage

Types

AccessControlCondition

AccessControlCondition

Type: Object

Properties
contractAddress (string) : The address of the contract that will be queried
chain (string) : The chain name of the chain that this contract is deployed on. See LIT_CHAINS for currently supported chains.
standardContractType (string) : If the contract is an ERC20, ERC721, or ERC1155, please put that here
method (string) : The smart contract function to call
parameters (Array) : The parameters to use when calling the smart contract. You can use the special ":userAddress" parameter which will be replaced with the requesting user's wallet address, verified via message signature
returnValueTest (Object) : An object containing two keys: "comparator" and "value". The return value of the smart contract function will be compared against these. For example, to check if someone holds an NFT, you could use "comparator: >" and "value: 0" which would check that a user has a token balance greater than zero.

EVMContractCondition

EVMContractCondition

Type: Object

Properties
contractAddress (string) : The address of the contract that will be queried
chain (string) : The chain name of the chain that this contract is deployed on. See LIT_CHAINS for currently supported chains.
functionName (string) : The smart contract function to call
functionParams (Array) : The parameters to use when calling the smart contract. You can use the special ":userAddress" parameter which will be replaced with the requesting user's wallet address, verified via message signature
functionAbi (Object) : The ABI of the smart contract function to call. This is used to encode the function parameters and decode the return value of the function. Do not pass the entire contract ABI here. Instead, find the function you want to call in the contract ABI and pass that function's ABI here.
returnValueTest (Object) : An object containing three keys: "key", "comparator" and "value". The return value of the smart contract function will be compared against these. For example, to check if someone holds an NFT, you could use "key": "", "comparator: >" and "value: 0" which would check that a user has a token balance greater than zero. The "key" is used when the return value is a struct which contains multiple values and should be the name of the returned value from the function abi. You must always pass "key" when using "returnValueTest", even if you pass an empty string for it, because the function only returns a single value.

SolRpcCondition

SolRpcCondition

Type: Object

Properties
method (string) : The Solana RPC method to be called. You can find a list here: https://docs.solana.com/developing/clients/jsonrpc-api
params (Array) : The parameters to use when making the RPC call. You can use the special ":userAddress" parameter which will be replaced with the requesting user's wallet address, verified via message signature
chain (string) : The chain name of the chain that this contract is deployed on. See ALL_LIT_CHAINS for currently supported chains. On Solana, we support "solana" for mainnet, "solanaDevnet" for devnet and "solanaTestnet" for testnet.
returnValueTest (Object) : An object containing three keys: "key", "comparator" and "value". The return value of the rpc call will be compared against these. The "key" selector supports JSONPath syntax, so you can filter and iterate over the results. For example, to check if someone holds an NFT with address 29G6GSKNGP8K6ATy65QrNZk4rNgsZX1sttvb5iLXWDcE, you could use "method": "GetTokenAccountsByOwner", "params": [":userAddress",{"programId":"TokenkegQfeZyiNwAJbNbGKPFXCWuBvf9Ss623VQ5DA"},{"encoding":"jsonParsed"}], "key": "$[?(@.account.data.parsed.info.mint == "29G6GSKNGP8K6ATy65QrNZk4rNgsZX1sttvb5iLXWDcE")].account.data.parsed.info.tokenAmount.amount", "comparator: >" and "value: 0" which would check that a user has a token balance greater than zero. The "key" is used when the return value is an array or object which contains multiple values and should be the name of the returned value or a JSONPath item. You must always pass "key" when using "returnValueTest", even if you pass an empty string for it, because the rpc call only returns a single value.

CosmosCondition

CosmosCondition

Type: Object

Properties
path (string) : The RPC URL path that will be called. This will typically contain any parameters you need for the call. Note that you can use the special ":userAddress" parameter which will be replaced with the requesting user's wallet address, verified via message signature. For example, this path would be used to get the requesting user's balance: "/cosmos/bank/v1beta1/balances/:userAddress"
chain (string) : The chain name of the chain that this contract is deployed on. See ALL_LIT_CHAINS for currently supported chains. On Cosmos we currently support "cosmos" and "kyve"
returnValueTest (Object) : An object containing three keys: "key", "comparator" and "value". The return value of the rpc call will be compared against these. The "key" selector supports JSONPath syntax, so you can filter and iterate over the results. For example, to check the balance of someone's account, you can use the key "$.balances[0].amount" which will pull out balances[0].amount from the JSON response and compare it against the "value" field according to the "comparator". The "key" is used when the return value is an array or object which contains multiple values and should be the name of the returned value or a JSONPath item. You must always pass "key" when using "returnValueTest", even if you pass an empty string for it, because the rpc call only returns a single value.

ResourceId

ResourceId

Type: Object

Properties
baseUrl (string) : The base url of the resource that will be authorized
path (string) : The path of the url of the resource that will be authorized
orgId (string) : The org id that the user would be authorized to belong to. The orgId key must be present but it may contain an empty string if you don't need to store anything in it.
