Kayos 1ee124b545 AUDIT4-3 fix: optional inline datum on wallet_send
wallet_send + wallet_send_unsigned now accept an optional
datum_inline_cbor_hex field. When set, the recipient output
carries the bytes as an inline datum — the right shape for
locking funds at a script address with a datum the validator
can read.

Without this, sends to script addresses created un-spendable
utxos (Babbage/Conway rejects spending script utxos that
don't carry a datum). Surfaced 2026-05-04 audit-4 phase F2
when the always-succeeds Aiken validator's locked utxo
couldn't be spent back due to NotAllowedSupplementalDatums +
PPViewHashesDontMatch chain errors.

Plumbed through:
  build_signed_payment_with_assets (added arg)
  build_unsigned_payment_with_assets (added arg)
  prepare_payment (added arg)
  build_staging_with_fee (added arg)
  output_with_assets (added arg)
  SendArgs / UnsignedSendArgs (new optional MCP field)

Change outputs never get a datum — they go back to the wallet
which has no validator to satisfy, so the field is wired only
to the recipient output.

Test lock_with_inline_datum_attaches_datum_to_output decodes
the resulting tx CBOR and confirms the recipient output's
datum_option is populated.

Unblocks mainnet Plutus testing — the spend round trip can
now build a lock that the spend side can satisfy.

aldabra

Rust-native Cardano lite wallet with an MCP-server interface — built for LLM-first usage (send, receive, mint, Plutus interaction).

Status: Phase 1 scaffold (2026-05-04). Compiles, structure in place, real wallet primitives still landing. See ROADMAP.md.

Why

The existing Cardano MCP servers are either read-only doc gateways (Jimmyh-world/Cardano_MCP) or built on Blockfrost (web3-mcp) which is a centralized API we deliberately don't depend on. Sulkta runs its own Koios + Ogmios endpoints on Rackham; we want a wallet that talks directly to those.

Also: it's the first Sulkta Rust project — useful as a workout for crafting-table's Rust toolchain (per Sulkta-Coop/lucy-infra spec-crafting-table.md).

Architecture

Three crates in a Cargo workspace:

Crate Responsibility
aldabra-core Pure crypto + types. Mnemonic → root key (CIP-3), root → payment + stake key (CIP-1852), address construction, signing. No I/O, no network. This is the security boundary.
aldabra-chain Pluggable backends for chain queries. ChainBackend trait, with Koios as the phase-1 implementation. Ogmios + submission paths in phase 2.
aldabra-mcp Binary. MCP server speaking stdio. Glues core + chain together, exposes tools to the LLM client.

MCP tools (target)

Phase 1:

  • wallet.address — derived base address at account 0, index 0
  • wallet.balance — ADA + native asset balance at the wallet's address
  • wallet.utxos — list UTXOs

Phase 2:

  • wallet.send — build, sign, submit a payment (ADA or native)
  • wallet.tx_status — poll a submitted tx hash

Phase 3:

  • wallet.mint — mint a CIP-25 / CIP-68 native asset
  • wallet.policy.create — generate a policy script (timelock, multisig)

Phase 4:

  • wallet.script.attach — attach an inline datum + reference script
  • wallet.script.spend — spend a Plutus-locked UTXO with redeemer
  • wallet.stake.delegate — delegate to a pool

Build

# Local (requires rustc 1.75+)
cargo build --release

# Through crafting-table (preferred — validates the toolchain there)
crafting-table build aldabra

Run

# Direct invocation (smoke test only — does nothing useful in phase 1)
./target/release/aldabra

# As an MCP server registered with Claude Code:
# add to ~/.claude.json:
#   "aldabra": {
#     "command": "/path/to/aldabra",
#     "env": {
#       "ALDABRA_DATA": "/mnt/cache/appdata/aldabra"
#     }
#   }

Security model

  • Mnemonic source: interactive bootstrap on first run, paste once, encrypted at rest with age. Never written to disk in plaintext.
  • Derived keys: in-memory only, ZeroizeOnDrop on every container.
  • Network exposure: stdio MCP transport — never opens a TCP socket. Only the spawning client process can reach it.
  • Multi-network: mainnet by default, but --network preview / --network preprod for testing without real ADA.
