There are methods in the Ethereum wallet specific to EVM which we list below, but in general all the methods you need are present on the generic Wallet described here.

​
Check if a wallet is an Ethereum wallet

You can use the isEthereumWallet helper method to check if a wallet is a Ethereum wallet. That way, TypeScript will know which methods are available to you. 
import { isEthereumWallet } from '@dynamic-labs/ethereum';

if (!isEthereumWallet(wallet)) {
  throw new Error('This wallet is not a Ethereum wallet');
}

const client = await primaryWallet.getWalletClient();

Ethereum Wallet Methods

MethodDescription
getPublicClient(): Promise<PublicClient<Transport, Chain>>Retrieves the public client.
getWalletClient(chainId?: string): Promise<WalletClient<Transport, Chain, Account>>Retrieves the wallet client.

​
Read only actions

If you want to read data from the blockchain, you will want either a “Public Client” (Viem terminology), or a “Provider” (Ethers terminology). Both allow you read only access to the blockchain.
  • Viem
  • Ethers
import { useDynamicContext } from '@dynamic-labs/sdk-react-core';

const { primaryWallet } = useDynamicContext();

const getEnsName = async () => {
  const publicClient = await primaryWallet?.getPublicClient()

  // Now you can use the public client to read data from the blockchain
  const ens = await publicClient?.getEnsName({ address: primaryWallet.address })
  return ens
}

​
Write actions

If you want to write data to the blockchain, you will need a “Wallet Client” (Viem terminology), or a “Signer” (Ethers terminology). Both allow you to sign transactions with the private key.
  • Viem
  • Ethers
import { useDynamicContext } from '@dynamic-labs/sdk-react-core';
import { isEthereumWallet } from '@dynamic-labs/ethereum';
const { primaryWallet } = useDynamicContext();

const sendTransaction = async () => {
  if(!primaryWallet || !isEthereumWallet(primaryWallet)) {
    return;
  }

  const walletClient = await primaryWallet.getWalletClient();

  // Now you can use the wallet client to write data to the blockchain
  const tx = await walletClient?.sendTransaction({
    to: '0x1234567890abcdef',
    value: '1000000000000000000'
  });
  return tx
}
