Steem Keychain Mobile: Post-Phase 8 — Developer Documentation & Deep Link Reference

kafio (75)in Steem Dev • 4 days ago (edited)

Hello everyone,

Following the Phase 8 — Deep Linking & Tester release, I promised full developer documentation. It's now live.

Developer Docs — a complete reference for integrating Steem Keychain Mobile into your dApp using deep links. Every operation, every parameter, with copy-paste examples.

📖 Live: https://keychain-tester.steemhub.tech/docs

What's in the Documentation

Quick Start

Add a deep link to your app in 30 seconds:

<a href="steem://transfer?to=kafio&amount=1.000&currency=STEEM&memo=tip">
  Tip 1 STEEM via Keychain
</a>

When a user with Steem Keychain Mobile installed taps this link, it opens the wallet with a pre-filled transfer confirmation screen. That's it.

Two Protocols

Protocol	Purpose
`steem://`	Blockchain operations — transfers, votes, delegations, power up/down, witness votes, and more
`steem-keychain://`	App commands — open the built-in browser, import accounts, send any Keychain request

All Deep Link Operations

Every operation includes the URI format, a parameter table with required/optional fields and defaults, and a copy-paste example.

Financial:

Transfer — Send STEEM or SBD with optional memo and enforce mode
Delegate — Delegate Steem Power to another account
Power Up — Convert STEEM to Steem Power
Power Down — Convert Steem Power back to STEEM

Social:

Vote — Upvote or downvote a post with custom weight
Post / Comment — Publish a blog post or reply with metadata and comment options
Follow / Unfollow — Follow or unfollow an account
Reblog — Reblog a post

Governance:

Witness Vote — Vote or unvote a witness

Signing & Advanced:

Sign Buffer — Sign a message for authentication (login flows)
Broadcast — Send any raw operation to the blockchain
Sign — Sign a raw transaction

App Commands:

Open Browser — Open a URL in Keychain's built-in dApp browser
Add Account — Import an account with pre-filled keys
Request — Trigger any Keychain operation via JSON

Integration Guide

The docs include ready-to-use code examples for:

HTML — Simple anchor tags
JavaScript — Dynamic link building
React Native — Using Linking.openURL()

QR Code Support

Steem Keychain Mobile includes a universal QR scanner. Any deep link can be encoded as a QR code and scanned directly. The Deep Link Lab generates QR codes automatically for every operation you build.

Why This Matters

Until now, if a dApp developer on Steem wanted to integrate with Keychain Mobile, there was no reference. No URI spec, no parameter list, no examples.

Now there is. One page, every operation, documented and testable.

For dApp developers: Add one-tap transfers, votes, and delegations to your app. No SDK needed — just a URL.

For community builders: Generate shareable links and QR codes for tipping, witness voting, or following — and embed them in your blog posts or websites.
