Everything you need to know about building blockchain applications with JavaScript

Getting Started

// Install ethers.js
npm install ethers

// Connect to Ethereum
import { ethers } from 'ethers';
const provider = new ethers.JsonRpcProvider('https://eth-mainnet.g.alchemy.com/...');
const balance = await provider.getBalance('0x...');

Popular Libraries

Ethers.js

Most popular. Lightweight, TypeScript-first, excellent docs. Recommended for new projects.

Web3.js

Older but battle-tested. Good for legacy projects. Larger bundle size.

Viem

Newest option. Minimal bundle, fast, low-level access. Used by Wagmi.

Framework Integration

React

Use wagmi + RainbowKit for best developer experience.

Vue

Use vue-dapp or web3-vue for Vue 3 integration.

Angular

Use ngs-web3 or angular-web3 for Angular integration.
