Nethereum Experimental

This is a Nethereum fork that is adopted for Unity3D and AOT platforms (such as iOS).

Note: To use inside Unity3D, build Nethereum.Portable, and place the provided link.xml file from Unity folder to your project's assets folder.

What is Nethereum ?

Nethereum is the .Net integration library for Ethereum, simplifying the access and smart contract interaction with Ethereum nodes both public or permissioned like Geth, Parity or Quorum.

Nethereum is developed targeting netstandard 1.1, net451 and also as a portable library, hence it is compatible with all the operating systems (Windows, Linux, MacOS, Android and OSX) and has been tested on cloud, mobile, desktop, Xbox, hololens and windows IoT.

Upcoming releases will include functionalities such as DevP2P, Plasma and Micro-Payments.

Features

  • JSON RPC / IPC Ethereum core methods.
  • Geth management API (admin, personal, debugging, miner).
  • Parity management API.
  • Quorum integration.
  • Simplified smart contract interaction for deployment, function calling, transaction and event filtering and decoding of topics.
  • Unity 3d Unity integration.
  • ABI to .Net type encoding and decoding, including attribute based for complex object deserialization.
  • Hd Wallet
  • Transaction, RLP and message signing, verification and recovery of accounts.
  • Libraries for standard contracts Token, ENS and Uport
  • Integrated TestRPC testing to simplify TDD and BDD (Specflow) development.
  • Key storage using Web3 storage standard, compatible with Geth and Parity.
  • Simplified account life cycle for both managed by third party client (personal) or stand alone (signed transactions).
  • Low level Interception of RPC calls.
  • Code generation of smart contracts services.

Quick installation

Nethereum provides two types of packages. Standalone packages targeting Netstandard 1.1, net451 and where possible net351 to support Unity3d. There is also a Nethereum.Portable library which combines all the packages into a single portable library. As netstandard evolves and is more widely supported, the portable library might be eventually deprecated.

To install the latest version:

Windows users

To install the main packages you can either:

PM > Install-Package Nethereum.Web3

or

PM > Install-Package Nethereum.Portable

Mac/Linux users

dotnet add package Nethereum.Web3 

or

dotnet add package Nethereum.Portable

Video guides

There a few video guides, which might be helpful to get started. Please note that these videos are for version 1.0, so some areas have changed.

The code for these tutorials can be found here

Introductions

These are two videos that can take you through all the initial steps from creating a contract to deployment, one in the classic windows, visual studio environment and another in a cross platform mac and visual studio code.

Windows, Visual Studio

This video takes you through the steps of creating the a smart contract, compile it, start a private chain and deploy it using Nethereum.
