+# Exchange integration guide
+
+This guide provides a quick reference for how to perform the most common tasks when an exchange or a similar application needs to interact with the Kadena blockchain.
+The information is this guide is similar to topics covered elsewhere in the documentation.
+For example, you can see similar information in the following topics:
+
+- [Common task quick reference](/guides/howto-quick-ref)
+- [Create new accounts](/guides/accounts/howto-create-accounts)
+- [Check account balances](/guides/accounts/howto-get-balances)
+- [Sign and submit transactions](/guides/transactions/howto-sign-submit-tx)
+
+However, this guide assumes that you are operating an exchange and need to interact with the Kadena blockchain programmatically using scripts and, potentially, automation.
+
+This guide also assumes the following:
+
+- You host one or more Chainweb nodes that you control and monitor.
+- You have one or more Chainweb nodes that connect to the Kadena test network or main production network.
+- - You are familiar with Kadena single-key and multi-key accounts, account naming conventions, and the use of keysets.
+- You want to use the Kadena client libraries to write scripts that perform common tasks, like creating transactions and listening for events.
+
+This guide includes code examples written in TypeScript for all of the common exchange-related activity.
+If you aren't already hosting your own Chainweb node, see [Get started running a node](/guides/nodes/howto-node-operator) for an introduction to setting up a Chainweb node.
+
+## Connect to specific chains
+
+You can interact with the Kadena network through any of its separate chains.
+The chains—with chain identifiers 0 through 19—share a common view of blockchain history through consensus, but operate independently and in parallel.
+
+Because the chains operate independently and you must specify the chain identifier that you want to send transactions to, you can write a custom **host generator** function that specifies the node host name or IP address of the node you manage and the specific chains you want to interact with.
+
+The following example illustrates creating a Kadena **client** connection that connects the host `kadena-node.my-exchange.tld` but only interacts with chains 0, 1, and 2:
+
+```typescript
+// Import the createClient function from the library.
+import { createClient } from '@kadena/client';
+
+// This customHostGeneratorFunction specifies the chainweb-node hostname
+// and specific chains for API calls.
+const customHostGeneratorFunction = ({ networkId, chainId }) => {
+  if (![0, 1, 2].includes(chainId)) {
+    throw new Error('Exchange only conducts business on chains 0, 1, and 2.');
+  }
+
+  const hostname = 'kadena-node.my-exchange.tld';
+  return `https://${hostname}/chainweb/0.0/${networkId}/chain/${chainId}/pact`;
+};
+
+// This call creates a client that can connect to the blockchain.
+const client = createClient(customHostGeneratorFunction, {
+  // Exchanges typically wait for more blocks to be confirmed by consensus.
+  confirmationDepth: 10, 
+});
+```
+
+For more information about the `@kadena/client` libraries, see [Get started with Kadena client](/reference/kadena-client#get-started-with-kadena-client) and [`@kadena/client-utils`](https://github.com/kadena-community/kadena.js/tree/main/packages/libs/client-utils) or [npm package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@kadena/client-utils).
+
+## Generate an account on the blockchain
+
+For exchanges, the recommended best practice is to use a **multi-signature account** to manage the funds that are owned by the exchange. 
+With a multi-signature account, you can apply the **four-eyes** principle to require transactions to be approved by at least two people.
+
+The four-eyes principle, sometimes referred to as the two-person rule, is a broadly-accepted security method that ensures certain activities—such as the transfer of assets—are approved by at least two authorized individuals. 
+Exchanges can apply this principle to prevent errors, fraud, or malicious behavior using the built-in
+predicates for multi-signature accounts:
+
+- `keys-all` requires all authorized account keys to sign every transaction.
+- `keys-2` requires at least two of any number of authorized account keys to sign every transaction.
+- `keys-any` requires that any single authorized account key signs every transaction.
+
+Typically, exchanges use the `keys-2` predicate for the account that manages funds owned by the exchange and two or more authorized account keys.
+
+You can create a multi-signature account and associated keys by using any wallet that supports the Kadena network and native KDA currency.
+For example, you can create keys and accounts by using any of the following wallets:
+
+- [Chainweaver v3](https://wallet.kadena.io) (built by Kadena).
+  You can also import accounts and keys from previous versions of Chainweaver.
+
+- [Kadena CLI Wallet](https://docs.kadena.io/reference/cli/cli-wallet) (built by Kadena).
+  You can also use `@kadena/kadena-cli` to import accounts and keys from previous versions of Chainweaver, from other wallets, or from public and private key pairs you've generated using other tools.
+
+- [Other Kadena ecosystem wallets](https://www.kadena.io/defi/wallets?topic=Wallets).
+  You can also create an account using any of the wallets developed by third parties that support the Kadena network.
+  
+  ![Kadena ecosystem wallets](/img/wallets-website.jpg)
+  
+### Using Chainweaver
+
+1. Open [Chainweaver v3](https://wallet.kadena.io) and click **Add new profile** to create a wallet or **Recover your wallet** to import information from a backup file or recovery phrase.
+   
+   If creating a new wallet, type a **Profile name** and select a security method.
+   If recovering a wallet, provide the backup file or recovery phase to import keys and accounts.
+   
+   After creating or importing the wallet, the list of your assets on the Kadena **Mainnet** network is displayed by default.
+   You can change the current network to **Testnet** or add another network by clicking **Settings**.
+   
+   ![Chainweaver network selection](/img/chainweaver-your-assets.jpg)
+
+2. Click **+ Account**, then select **Create Multi-Sig**.
+3. Type an account alias name, select or enter the public keys for the account and a predicate, then click **Create account**.
+   
+   ![Select the keys and predicate for the account](/img/multi-sig-account.png)
+
+4. Verify the new account is listed with a `w:` prefix in the list of assets.
+   
+   ![Multi-signature account](/img/w-multi-sig.jpg)
+
+   Note that the account has no funds.
+   At this point, the account isn't associated with any of the chains in the network.
+   You must add funds on at least one specific chain in the network  you've selected for the account to become active and available for use.
+   
+   If you are setting up this multi-signature account on the Testnet network, you can fund the account directly from Chainweaver by clicking **Fund on Testnet** in the account details, or by using the [Developer Tools Testnet faucet](https://tools.kadena.io/faucet/new).
+
+5. Click the multi-signature account alias to view its details, then click **Fund on Testnet** to fund the account.
+   
+   After the transaction is mined into a block, you can click **Chain Distribution** to see the chain that received funds on the Testnet network.
+   If needed, you can transfer funds to your account on another chain.
+
+   If you're funding an account on the Mainnet network, you must acquire funds through another exchange.
+
+### Using mnemonic phrases
+
+To use mnemonic phrases programmatically, you can use the [`@kadena/hd-wallet`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@kadena/hd-wallet) library.
+For more information about this library, see the [npm package](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@kadena/hd-wallet).
+
+### Using client utilities
+
+The following example demonstrates how to create a Kadena account with two public keys and the `keys-2` predicate requiring both signatures to sign transaction on the Kadena main network and chain 0:
+
+```typescript
+import { createAccount } from '@kadena/client-utils/coin';
+
+const result = await createAccount(
+  {
+    account: 'k:' + publicKey,
+    keyset: {
+      pred: 'keys-2',
+      keys: [publicKeyA, publicKeyB], // two public keys for a 2-of-2 multisig
+      // keys: [publicKeyA, publicKeyB, publicKeyC], // three public keys for a 2-of-3 multisig
+    },
+    gasPayer: { account: 'gasPayer', publicKeys: [''] },
+    chainId: '0',
+  },
+  {
+    host: customHostGeneratorFunction,
+    defaults: {
+      networkId: 'mainnet01',
+    },
+    sign: signWithChainweaver,
+  },
+)
+  // signed Tx
+  .on('sign', (data) => console.log(data))
+  // preflight result
+  .on('preflight', (data) => console.log(data))
+  // submit result
+  .on('submit', (data) => console.log(data))
+  // listen result
+  .on('listen', (data) => console.log(data))
+  .execute();
+```
+
+## Retrieve balances
+
+The following example illustrates using the `getBalance` function from the `@kadena/client-utils` library:
+
+```typescript
+import { getBalance } from '@kadena/client-utils/coin';
+
+const balance = await getBalance(
+  'k:my-wallet-address',
+  'mainnet01',
+  '0', // chainId
+  customHostGeneratorFunction, // You can pass the hostname or a generator function.
+);
+console.log(`Balance: ${balance}`);
+```
+
+## Create, sign, and send a transaction
+
+To create a transaction manually, you can combine the `Pact.builder` and `Pact.modules` functions:
+
+- `Pact.builder` to create an unsigned transaction request to execute in the transaction request.
+- `Pact.modules.<module>.<function>` to create a Pact expression.
+
+The following example demonstrates how create, sign, and send a `transfer` transaction manually using the `@kadena/client` library:
+
+```typescript
+async function transfer(
+  sender: string,
+  senderAPublicKey: string,
+  senderBPublicKey: string,
+  receiver: string,
+  amount: IPactDecimal,
+): Promise<void> {
+  const transaction = Pact.builder
+    .execution(
+      // pact expression
+      Pact.modules.coin.transfer(sender, receiver, amount),
+    )
+    // add signers
+    .addSigner(senderAPublicKey, (signFor) => [
+      // add capabilities
+      signFor('coin.GAS'),
+      signFor('coin.TRANSFER', sender, receiver, amount),
+    ])
+    // if second signer is needed due to `keys-2` predicate on the `sender` account
+    .addSigner(senderBPublicKey, (signFor) => [
+      signFor('coin.TRANSFER', sender, receiver, amount),
+    ])
+    // set chainId and sender
+    .setMeta({ chainId: '0', senderAccount: sender })
+    .setNetworkId('mainnet01')
+    // will create a IUnsignedTransaction { cmd, hash, sigs }
+    .createTransaction();
+
+  const signedTx = await signWithChainweaver(transaction);
+
+  // create client
+  const client = createClient(customHostGeneratorFunction, {
+    confirmationDepth: 10,
+  });
+
+  // check if all necessary signatures are added
+  if (isSignedTransaction(signedTx)) {
+    const transactionDescriptor = await client.submit(signedTx);
+    const response = await client.listen(transactionDescriptor, {});
+    if (response.result.status === 'failure') {
+      throw response.result.error;
+    } else {
+      console.log(response.result);
+    }
+  }
+}
+
+// run the function
+transfer(senderAccount, senderPublicKey, receiverAccount, {
+  decimal: '13.37',
+}).catch(console.error);
+```
+
+## Check the status of a transaction
+
+There are two primary ways to check the status of a transaction programmatically:
+
+- You can check the status of a single transaction by passing the `requestKey` hash for the transaction when calling the `getStatus` function.
+- You can poll for the status of one or more transactions until the transaction request returned a result.
+
+### Single check
+
+```typescript
+const client = createClient(/* omitted options, see "Low Level Client"*/);
+// requestKey is the hash of the submitted transaction
+client.getStatus({ chainId, networkId, requestKey });
+```
+
+### Polling check
+
+```typescript
+client.pollStatus(
+  { networkId: 'mainnet01', chainId: '0', requestKey: 'tx-hash' },
+  { confirmationDepth: 10 },
+);
+```
+
+## Estimate gas usage
+
+To get an estimation of the gas usage, you can execute a `local` call.
+
+Note that the gas estimation can be different from the actual gas by a transaction when the transaction is executed on the blockchain. 
+State changes that are recorded on the blockchain can influence the branches the code takes, and, as a result, affect the gas required to execute the transaction.
+
+```typescript
+// We do not need to send signatures to check gas estimation.
+// However, signatures can influence the direction of the code, thus gas usage.
+const response = await client.local(unsignedTx, {
+  preflight: true,
+  signatureVerification: false,
+});
+
+if (response.result.status === 'failure') {
+  throw response.result.error;
+}
+
+const gasEstimation = response.gas;
+```
+
+## Listens for events
+
+There are several ways you can listen for events emitted by transactions that are executed on the blockchain.
+For example, you can listen for `coin.TRANSFER` events in the following ways:
+
+- Use the [`chainweb-stream`](https://github.com/kadena-io/chainweb-stream) server package with the
+[`@kadena/chainweb-stream-client`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@kadena/chainweb-stream-client) to listen for specific events.
+
+- Use third-party indexing services such as [Kadindexer](https://www.kadindexer.io/) or [Tatum](https://www.tatum.io/block/kadena) to listen for specific events.
+
+- Implement a custom listener using the [`@kadena/chainwebjs`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@kadena/chainwebjs)
+package.
