Getting User IDs From your Web App
Blocto injects a global API into websites at window.bloctoProvider and window.{network} at the same time. Currently, Blocto supports networks:
ethereum
tron
tangerine

Error Handling
blocked: user clicked the block button.
cancelled: user clicked the cancel button.
noNetworkConnection: no network connection.
appIdNotExist: your app id doesn't exist.
internal: wallet app internal error. Please contact us.
