Open Wallet Standard (OWS) provider for React Native. Exposes Glide’s mobile hardware-backed signer — iOS Secure Enclave on Apple devices, Android StrongBox on qualifying Android devices — as an OWS-conformant wallet so any agent runtime that discovers an OWS provider on the device can use Glide’s hardware-attested keys without Glide-specific integration code. OWS launched March 2026 (MoonPay-led, MIT-licensed, 15+ org backers including PayPal, Circle, Solana Foundation, and Ethereum Foundation). The canonical @open-wallet-standard/core ships Rust, Node, and Python only; there is no official React Native SDK. This package fills that gap.

​
Install

npm install @glideco/ows-react-native
npmjs.com/package/@glideco/ows-react-native

​
Why OWS?

Agent runtimes (Claude, ChatGPT Plugins, Gemini extensions, custom MCP clients) discover wallets through the Wallet Standard event bus rather than hardcoding vendor SDKs. A wallet that registers on the bus becomes visible to any runtime that listens — no per-integration code. The OWS spec defines the exact event names, feature-string keys, and WalletAccount shape that runtimes expect.

​
CAIP-2 chains supported

OWS_SUPPORTED_CHAINS = [
  'solana:mainnet',
  'eip155:1',     // ethereum
  'eip155:8453',  // base
  'eip155:42161', // arbitrum
  'eip155:10',    // optimism
  'eip155:137',   // polygon
  'eip155:5000',  // tempo
  'stellar:pubnet',
]
These are CAIP-2 identifiers — distinct from Glide’s internal short-ids (eth, sol). chainIdToCaip2() from @glideco/schemas translates between them at the apps/mobile boundary.

Live features

Feature stringStatus
standard:connectlive
standard:disconnectlive
standard:eventslive
solana:signMessagelive
ethereum:personalSignlive
solana:signAndSendTransactionstub (E_NOT_IMPLEMENTED)
solana:signTransactionstub
ethereum:signTypedDatastub
ethereum:sendTransactionstub
stellar:signTransactionstub
Stubs throw an error with code: 'E_NOT_IMPLEMENTED'. Agent runtimes that probe features before calling them will route to a fallback wallet rather than treating Glide as non-conformant.

​
Wiring

Build the wallet with a OwsSignerBackend that your app provides, then register it on the event bus. 
import {
  buildGlideOwsWallet,
  registerGlideOwsWallet,
  type OwsSignerBackend,
} from '@glideco/ows-react-native';

// Your app's hardware-backed signer.
const enclaveBackend: OwsSignerBackend = {
  async getAddress(chain) { /* … */ return '0xABC…'; },
  async getPublicKey(chain) { /* … */ return 'base64url-pubkey'; },
  async sign(request) { /* call iOS Secure Enclave / StrongBox */ },
};

const { wallet, refreshAccounts } = await buildGlideOwsWallet({
  backend: enclaveBackend,
  appVersion: '1.0.0',
  chains: ['eip155:1', 'solana:mainnet'],
  accountLabel: 'Glide Vault',
});

// Register on the Wallet Standard bus.
// Call this at app start — before any agent runtime fires wallet-standard:app-ready.
const { unregister } = registerGlideOwsWallet(wallet);

// Call when the user switches vaults.
await refreshAccounts();

​
Event protocol

Two registration paths co-exist:
  1. Legacy: registerGlideOwsWallet dispatches wallet-standard:register-wallet on startup. Apps that pre-load wallets listen for this event and add Glide to their wallet picker.
  2. Modern: registerGlideOwsWallet also attaches a wallet-standard:app-ready listener. Apps that bootstrap late fire app-ready with a register callback; Glide calls register(wallet) to introduce itself.
Both events are handled. The unregister handle returned by registerGlideOwsWallet removes the app-ready listener — call it on vault switch before calling registerGlideOwsWallet again.

​
OwsSignerBackend contract

interface OwsSignerBackend {
  getAddress(chain: OwsChain): Promise<string | null>;
  getPublicKey(chain: OwsChain): Promise<string | null>;
  sign(request: OwsSignRequest): Promise<OwsSignResult>;
}

// OwsSignRequest (internal protocol — base64url for cross-runtime portability)
// {
//   chain: OwsChain,
//   address: string,        // reject on mismatch
//   message: string,        // raw bytes, base64url
//   typedData?: boolean,    // true = EIP-712 JSON-encoded typed data
//   reason: string,         // shown in biometric prompt, max 200 chars
// }
Returning null from getAddress or getPublicKey signals that the backend has no key for that chain; buildGlideOwsWallet omits that chain from wallet.accounts.

​
Duplicate chain guard

buildGlideOwsWallet throws if chains contains duplicate CAIP-2 entries. Agent runtimes dispatch via wallet.chains.includes(target) and pick the first match; duplicates cause the change event to fire twice for the same chain on refreshAccounts.
