DobLink

DobLink is DobProtocol's integration layer. It provides two tools for bringing pools to external websites and applications:

1. Embeddable Widgets -- Customizable pool cards that can be embedded on any website
2. JavaScript SDK -- A TypeScript/JavaScript library (@dobprotocol/sdk) for full programmatic access to DobProtocol

What You Can Do

Capability	Widget	SDK
Display pool info on external sites	Yes	Yes
Create pools from your own app	--	Yes
Track analytics (views, referrers)	Yes	Yes
Manage pool participants	--	Yes
Query pool metrics (APR, distributions)	--	Yes
Browse marketplace listings	--	Yes
Execute pool actions (deposit, distribute)	--	Yes
Create projects	--	Yes

Embeddable Widgets

Pool owners can create customizable widgets to embed on external websites. Each widget:

• Links to a specific pool
• Has a configurable theme (light/dark), colors, and button text
• Tracks views and referrer domains automatically
• Can be restricted to specific domains

Widget Configuration

Option	Description	Default
theme	Color theme	light
primary_color	Accent color (hex)	#597CE9
button_text	Call-to-action text	Invest Now
show_apr	Show estimated APR	true
show_members	Show participant count	true
show_distributions	Show distribution info	true
show_network	Show blockchain network	true
allowed_domains	Domain whitelist	All domains

Creating a Widget

Widgets can be created through:

• The DobProtocol app at home.dobprotocol.com
• The SDK programmatically (see SDK Reference)

JavaScript SDK

The @dobprotocol/sdk package allows external developers to integrate DobProtocol pools directly into their applications. It handles authentication, pool creation, metrics queries, and more.

npm install @dobprotocol/sdk

import { DobProtocolClient } from '@dobprotocol/sdk';

const dob = new DobProtocolClient({
  apiKey: 'dob_sdk_...',
  network: 'mainnet',
});

// Query any pool's metrics
const pool = await dob.pools.getPool('CDXYZ...');
console.log(`APR: ${pool.estimated_apr}%`);

• SDK Reference -- Complete API reference
• Examples -- Code examples for common use cases

How SDK Authentication Works

External applications authenticate via SDK API keys:

1. Pool owner creates an SDK key at home.dobprotocol.com
2. Key includes domain whitelist and permission scopes (read, write)
3. External app sends X-DOB-API-Key header with each request
4. Backend validates key, checks domain, enforces rate limits (120 RPM)

For user-level operations (creating pools, signing transactions), the SDK also supports wallet-based JWT authentication.

Supported Networks

DobLink and the SDK currently support Stellar blockchain only:

Network	ID	Use
Stellar Testnet	9	Development and testing
Stellar Mainnet	10	Production

Integration with DobProtocol

Integration	Purpose
Token Studio	Pool and share data for investment targets
DobValidator	TRUFA scores and certificate verification
Marketplace	Secondary market for pool shares
Smart Contracts	Stellar Splitter V2 for pool distribution
