# URI scheme

Cake Wallet supports standard URI schemes for opening links in the app. A URI scheme is a special link that conveys transaction or wallet-restore information. Supported schemes include:

* `monero` / `monero-wallet`
* `bitcoin` / `bitcoin-wallet`
* `litecoin` / `litecoin-wallet`
* `ethereum` / `ethereum-wallet`
* `bitcoincash` / `bitcoincash-wallet`
* `polygon` / `polygon-wallet`
* `solana-wallet`
* `tron` / `tron-wallet`
* `nano` / `nano-wallet`
* `zano` / `zano-wallet`
* `cakewallet` (opens Cake Wallet specifically)
* `monerocom` (opens Monero.com specifically)

## Universal sending format

When sending transactions, the scheme is as follows:

> scheme `(monero / bitcoin / litecoin / ethereum / ...)` ":" \["//" authority `(empty)`] path `(address)` \["?" query `(all parameters)`] \["#" fragment `(empty)`]

Examples and descriptions:

*This will open the Send screen for a Monero wallet for 1.64191753 XMR:*

`monero:8Byke9ZxeRQaFe1cVFT5yvMXJ6LorQGgm9BSXGVkCkPqMLYhvdLnymJJytngt6321BBYS5L5W39pzMwFzJjfjTUKSZ3pyk4?tx_amount=1.64191753`

*This will open the Send screen for a Bitcoin wallet for 0.00999496 BTC:*

`bitcoin:bc1q3vuzard8eake3lq8crpegzqu2lk27hxew0zv57?amount=0.00999496`

## Universal wallet restore format

When restoring a wallet, the default scheme created in the app is as follows:

> scheme `(monero-wallet / bitcoin-wallet / litecoin-wallet / ...)` ":" \["//" authority `(empty)`] path `(address / empty)` \["?" query `(all parameters)`] \["#" fragment `(empty)`]

*Note: the address is mandatory for the Monero key restore option, but optional (and thus not provided by default) for seed restores.*

Examples and descriptions:

*This will allow restoring a Monero wallet using a seed and txids:*

`monero-wallet:?seed=iceberg+ascend+soil+goat+yoga+technical+newt+sample+remedy+threaten+arrow+school+negative+sneeze+wiggle+bite+feline+efficient+depth+wife+winter+egotistic+sneeze+taxi+ascend&txid=f8477b831a028f07d5638157afc0fbf0897066b4caa29dc48f885fba79cec814;bd20081e0d1abf05b275bcc06bc7e315bc03c57870e247c82c8a45b30f4d1b34;cdbed9b4b2f56de7cce9255610d0cae702aefb36f9a4ff15698ea448f29f6188`

*This will allow restoring a Monero wallet using keys and a block height:*

`monero-wallet:467iotZU5tvG26k2xdZWkJ7gwATFVhfbuV3yDoWx5jHoPwxEi4f5BuJQwkP6GpCb1sZvUVB7nbSkgEuW8NKrh9KKRRga5qz?spend_key=029c559cd7669f14e91fd835144916009f8697ab5ac5c7f7c06e1ff869c17b0b&view_key=afaf646edbff3d3bcee8efd3383ffe5d20c947040f74e1110b70ca0fbb0ef90d&height=100000`

*This will allow restoring a Litecoin wallet:*

`litecoin-wallet:?seed=rather+maximum+insect+bleak+pride+sand+stomach+anger+brass+sound+lady+section+frame+silent+busy+strategy+tray+science+quantum+cost+inner+appear+sad+resemble`

## App-specific formats

If you want to command that Cake Wallet or Monero.com should open the URI specifically, not another app, then you should use the `cakewallet` and `monerocom` URIs.

### Cake sending format

> scheme `(cakewallet / monerocom)` ":" \["//" authority `(empty)`] path `(monero / bitcoin / litecoin / ...)` \["?" query `(all parameters)`] \["#" fragment `(empty)`]

Examples and descriptions:

*This will open the Monero.com Send screen for a Monero wallet for 1.64191753 XMR:*

`monerocom:monero?address=8Byke9ZxeRQaFe1cVFT5yvMXJ6LorQGgm9BSXGVkCkPqMLYhvdLnymJJytngt6321BBYS5L5W39pzMwFzJjfjTUKSZ3pyk4&tx_amount=1.64191753`

*This will open the Cake Wallet Send screen for a Bitcoin wallet for 0.00999496 BTC:*

`cakewallet:bitcoin?address=bc1q3vuzard8eake3lq8crpegzqu2lk27hxew0zv57&amount=0.00999496`

### Cake restore format

> scheme `(cakewallet / monerocom)` ":" \["//" authority `(empty)`] path `(monero-wallet / bitcoin-wallet / litecoin-wallet / ...)` \["?" query `(all parameters)`] \["#" fragment `(empty)`]

*Note: the address is mandatory for the Monero key restore option, but optional for seed restores.*

Examples and descriptions:

*This will allow restoring a Monero wallet using a seed and txids in Monero.com:*

`monerocom:monero-wallet?seed=iceberg+ascend+soil+goat+yoga+technical+newt+sample+remedy+threaten+arrow+school+negative+sneeze+wiggle+bite+feline+efficient+depth+wife+winter+egotistic+sneeze+taxi+ascend&txid=f8477b831a028f07d5638157afc0fbf0897066b4caa29dc48f885fba79cec814;bd20081e0d1abf05b275bcc06bc7e315bc03c57870e247c82c8a45b30f4d1b34;cdbed9b4b2f56de7cce9255610d0cae702aefb36f9a4ff15698ea448f29f6188`

*This will allow restoring a Monero wallet using keys and block height in Cake Wallet:*

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.cakewallet.com/faq/glossary/uri-scheme.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
