Practical overview

When it fits

Use Ethers Kt when a Kotlin application needs a shared or platform-targeted client library for EVM or Solana network interactions, rather than a hosted blockchain interface.

Who it is for

  • Kotlin developers building applications that query EVM-compatible blockchain networks or Solana.
  • Teams sharing blockchain client code across JVM, Android, iOS and macOS targets.
  • Developers generating type-safe EVM contract bindings or combining RPC calls.

Documented uses

  • Make asynchronous blockchain RPC calls from Kotlin code.
  • Query blocks and subscribe to new-block notifications through a provider.
  • Encode and decode EVM ABI data and generate typed contract bindings from JSON ABI files or Foundry projects.
  • Batch JSON-RPC requests or aggregate contract calls through Multicall3.
  • Use the separate Solana module for RPC, signing, transaction, token-instruction and subscription tasks.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository is public and licensed under Apache-2.0. The README says releases are published to Maven Central. Android support lists minSdk 24.

  • Supported targets listed are JVM, Android, iOS and macOS; the README specifies JVM bytecode 11 and Android minSdk 24.
  • The suspending build() and send() APIs are for common code and coroutines; blocking and CompletableFuture variants are available on JVM and Android.
  • ethers-abigen and ethers-signers-gcp are JVM-only modules.
  • The Solana functionality is provided by a separate ethers-solana module.
  • Provider setup requires a network RPC endpoint; the quickstart example uses a WebSocket URL.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Add Ethers Kt dependencies with Gradle

Configure a Gradle project to include documented Ethers Kt artifacts.

Before you start

  • A Gradle project with Kotlin support.
  • Access to Maven Central.
  • A chosen Ethers Kt version; the README example uses 2.0.1.

Steps

  1. Add Maven Central to the project’s repositories.

  2. Declare the ethers-bom platform dependency using the chosen version.

  3. Add the required artifacts, such as ethers-abi, ethers-core, ethers-providers and ethers-signers.

  4. For a Kotlin Multiplatform project, add these dependencies under commonMain.

Expected outcome

The project build configuration includes the selected Ethers Kt modules with versions aligned through the BOM.

Guide limitations

  • This covers dependency configuration only, not building or running an application.
  • The README notes that ethers-abigen and ethers-signers-gcp are JVM-only.
