@coinbase/wallet-sdk
Advanced tools
@coinbase/wallet-sdk is a JavaScript library that allows developers to integrate Coinbase Wallet into their web applications. It provides functionalities for connecting to the wallet, managing user accounts, and interacting with the Ethereum blockchain.
Connect to Coinbase Wallet
This feature allows you to connect to the Coinbase Wallet. You can specify the app name, logo URL, and whether to use dark mode. The `makeWeb3Provider` method creates a Web3 provider instance connected to the Ethereum mainnet.
const { CoinbaseWalletSDK } = require('@coinbase/wallet-sdk');
const wallet = new CoinbaseWalletSDK({ appName: 'My App', appLogoUrl: 'https://example.com/logo.png', darkMode: false });
const ethereum = wallet.makeWeb3Provider('https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/YOUR_INFURA_PROJECT_ID', 1);Request Account Access
This feature allows you to request access to the user's Ethereum accounts. The `eth_requestAccounts` method prompts the user to connect their wallet and grants access to their accounts.
ethereum.request({ method: 'eth_requestAccounts' }).then(accounts => {
console.log(accounts);
}).catch(error => {
console.error(error);
});Send Transactions
This feature allows you to send transactions from the connected wallet. You can specify the recipient address, sender address, value, and gas limit. The `eth_sendTransaction` method sends the transaction and returns the transaction hash.
const transactionParameters = {
to: '0xRecipientAddress',
from: '0xYourAddress',
value: '0x29a2241af62c0000', // 0.1 ETH
gas: '0x5208', // 21000 GWEI
};
ethereum.request({ method: 'eth_sendTransaction', params: [transactionParameters] }).then(txHash => {
console.log(txHash);
}).catch(error => {
console.error(error);
});Web3.js is a collection of libraries that allow you to interact with a local or remote Ethereum node using HTTP, IPC, or WebSocket. It provides functionalities for sending transactions, interacting with smart contracts, and more. Compared to @coinbase/wallet-sdk, Web3.js is more general-purpose and can be used with various Ethereum wallets and providers.
Ethers.js is a library for interacting with the Ethereum blockchain and its ecosystem. It provides a concise and consistent interface for sending transactions, interacting with smart contracts, and more. Ethers.js is known for its simplicity and ease of use, making it a popular choice among developers. Unlike @coinbase/wallet-sdk, it is not specific to Coinbase Wallet and can be used with various providers.
WalletConnect is an open protocol for connecting desktop DApps to mobile wallets using end-to-end encryption by scanning a QR code. It supports multiple wallets and provides a secure way to connect and interact with decentralized applications. Compared to @coinbase/wallet-sdk, WalletConnect offers broader wallet compatibility and focuses on secure connections between DApps and mobile wallets.
Coinbase Wallet SDK (formerly WalletLink) lets developers connect their dapps to Coinbase Wallet on both mobile web (for iOS and Android) and desktop:
Mobile: Users can connect to your mobile web dapp through a deeplink to the dapp browser in Coinbase Wallet Mobile App.
Desktop: Users can connect to your desktop app with a QR code in the Coinbase Wallet Mobile App or with the Coinbase Wallet Chrome Extension.
Wallet SDK is open-source and uses minimal dependencies for maximum security and no code bloat. Simply drop a few lines of code into your dapp and Wallet SDK takes care of the rest.
