Can I Use a KernelClient with Ethers?

Our KernelClient implements the Viem WalletClient interface. Although it is not directly compatible with Ethers.js, we have developed an EIP1193Provider that accepts a KernelClient as a constructor parameter. This provider enables the use of KernelClient with Ethers.js in a similar manner to how window.ethereum is utilized with Ethers.js.

Below is an example demonstrating how to use a KernelClient with the EIP1193Provider. This example assumes you are familiar with the creating of a KernelClient. For detailed instructions on creating a KernelClient, please refer to our API docs.

import { KernelEIP1193Provider } from '@zerodev/sdk/providers';
import { ethers } from 'ethers';
 
// Ensure to initialize your KernelClient here
const kernelClient = …;
 
// Initialize the KernelEIP1193Provider with your KernelClient
const kernelProvider = new KernelEIP1193Provider(kernelClient);
 
// Use the KernelProvider with ethers
const ethersProvider = new ethers.BrowserProvider(kernelProvider);
const signer = await ethersProvider.getSigner();
