ic-web3

RPC client for canisters on the Internet Computer to access Ethereum networks, powered by the Internet Computer's threshold ECDSA signature and outbound http call features.

Features

• Perform RPC calls to Ethereum networks within canisters
• Sign messages with IC's threshold ECDSA
• Send transactions to Ethereum networks within canisters
• Query/call Ethereum contracts within canisters

Usage

Add the following to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
ic-web3 = { git = "https://github.com/rocklabs-io/ic-web3" }

Note: It requires ipv6 compatibility for the RPC provider. For ipv6 compitable providers, you can refer to this list.

Examples

Note: you should have dfx 0.11.2 or above.

Please refer to example for the complete example.

Start a local replica:

dfx start --background --clean --enable-canister-http

Deploy the example canister:

dfx deploy

Endpoint Canister

The public endpoint canister is deployed at: 3ondx-siaaa-aaaam-abf3q-cai, code. You can access Ethereum Mainnet data by passing RPC calls to the endpoint canister.
