Ether.js

ethers.js is a lightweight, modular JavaScript/TypeScript library that simplifies interaction with Ethereum Virtual Machine-compatible networks. It provides a consistent API for providers, signing, contracts, and cryptographic utilities, all with strict typing and a small footprint suitable for front-end and back-end.

Why ethers.js?

Lightweight & modular

Only 90 kB min+gz; import only needed modules.

Native TypeScript

Strict typing prevents compilation errors.

Performance

Optimized serialization and efficient event handling.

Enhanced security

Offline signing, BIP-39, EIP-1559 built-in.

Best practices

  • • Reuse providers; avoid instantiating new ones on every render.
  • • Implement multicall to reduce latency and gas.
  • • Handle auto-reconnect on WebSocket provider.
  • • Type contracts with typechain.
  • • Subscribe to events with specific filters, not catch-all.
