Why Use This Library?
1. Save Development Time
Skip hundreds of lines of repetitive boilerplate and wallet-specific conditionals. Use a single, clean interface to interact with any supported wallet on any supported chain.
⚠️ Before:
if (window.ethereum?.isMetaMask) {
await window.ethereum.request({ method: 'wallet_addEthereumChain', params: [...] });
await window.ethereum.request({ method: 'wallet_switchEthereumChain', params: [...] });
} else if (window.coinbaseWalletExtension) {
// Handle Coinbase logic here
}
✅ After:
import { connectWallet } from 'multichain-wallet-connector';
const { provider, account } = await connectWallet({ chainId: 137 });
2. Future-Proof Your dApp
As new EVM chains and wallets emerge, you don’t need to refactor or add new logic. Just specify the chainId
—the library handles the rest. Updates to EIPs or wallet standards are handled behind the scenes.
3. Reduce User Friction
Auto-Add Chains: Users aren’t left with vague errors like “Unrecognized Chain.”
Smart Fallbacks: Gracefully handles unsupported operations and suggests workarounds.
Optimized UX: Auto gas estimation and error reporting reduce failed transactions and improve reliability.
