w3: Enhanced Ethereum Integration for Go

Go Reference Go Report Card Coverage Status Latest Release W3 Gopher

w3 is your toolbelt for integrating with Ethereum in Go. Closely linked to go‑ethereum, it provides an ergonomic wrapper for working with RPC, ABI's, and the EVM.

  • Use w3vm.VM to simulate EVM execution with optional tracing and Mainnet state forking, or test Smart Contracts. learn more ↗
  • Use w3.Func and w3.Event to create ABI bindings from Solidity function and event signatures. learn more ↗
  • Use w3.A, w3.H, and many other utility functions to parse addresses, hashes, and other common types from strings. learn more ↗

Getting Started

RPC Client

w3.Client is a batch request focused RPC client that can be used to connect to an Ethereum node via HTTP, WebSocket, or IPC. Its modular API allows to create custom RPC method integrations that can be used alongside the common methods implemented by this package.

Example: Batch Request (Playground)

// 1. Connect to an RPC endpoint
client, err := w3.Dial("https://rpc.ankr.com/eth")
if err != nil {
    // handle error
}
defer client.Close()

// 2. Make a batch request
var (
    balance big.Int
    nonce   uint64
)
if err := client.Call(
    eth.Balance(addr, nil).Returns(&balance),
    eth.Nonce(addr, nil).Returns(&nonce),
); err != nil {
    // handle error
}

Note

Why send batch requests?

Most of the time you need to call multiple RPC methods to get the data you need. When you make separate requests per RPC call you need a single round trip to the server for each call. This can be slow, especially for remote endpoints. Batching multiple RPC calls into a single request only requires a single round trip, and speeds up RPC calls significantly.

Error Handling

If one ore more calls in a batch request fail, Client.Call returns an error of type w3.CallErrors.

Example: Check which RPC calls failed in a batch request (Playground)

var errs w3.CallErrors
if err := client.Call(rpcCalls...); errors.As(err, &errs) {
    // handle call errors
} else if err != nil {
    // handle other errors
}

VM

w3vm.VM is a high-level EVM environment with a simple but powerful API to simulate EVM execution, test Smart Contracts, or trace transactions. It supports Mainnet state forking via RPC and state caching for faster testing.

Example: Simulate an Uniswap v3 swap (Playground)

// 1. Create a VM that forks the Mainnet state from the latest block,
// disables the base fee, and has a fake WETH balance and approval for the router
vm, err := w3vm.New(
    w3vm.WithFork(client, nil),
    w3vm.WithNoBaseFee(),
    w3vm.WithState(w3types.State{
        addrWETH: {Storage: w3types.Storage{
            w3vm.WETHBalanceSlot(addrEOA):               common.BigToHash(w3.I("1 ether")),
            w3vm.WETHAllowanceSlot(addrEOA, addrRouter): common.BigToHash(w3.I("1 ether")),
        }},
    }),
)
if err != nil {
    // handle error
}

// 2. Simulate a Uniswap v3 swap
receipt, err := vm.Apply(&w3types.Message{
    From: addrEOA,
    To:   &addrRouter,
    Func: funcExactInput,
    Args: []any{&ExactInputParams{
        Path:             encodePath(addrWETH, 500, addrUNI),
        Recipient:        addrEOA,
        Deadline:         big.NewInt(time.Now().Unix()),
        AmountIn:         w3.I("1 ether"),
        AmountOutMinimum: w3.Big0,
    }},
})
if err != nil {
    // handle error
}

// 3. Decode output amount
var amountOut *big.Int
if err := receipt.DecodeReturns(&amountOut); err != nil {
    // handle error
}

ABI Bindings

ABI bindings in w3 are specified for individual functions using Solidity syntax and are usable for any contract that supports that function.

Example: ABI binding for the ERC20 balanceOf function (Playground)

funcBalanceOf := w3.MustNewFunc("balanceOf(address)", "uint256")

Example: ABI binding for the Uniswap v4 swap function (Playground)

funcSwap := w3.MustNewFunc(`swap(
    (address currency0, address currency1, uint24 fee, int24 tickSpacing, address hooks) key,
    (bool zeroForOne, int256 amountSpecified, uint160 sqrtPriceLimitX96) params,
    bytes hookData
)`, "int256 delta")

A Func can be used to

Utils

Static addresses, hashes, bytes or integers can be parsed from (hex-)strings with the following utility functions that panic if the string is not valid.

addr := w3.A("0xd8dA6BF26964aF9D7eEd9e03E53415D37aA96045")
hash := w3.H("0xd4e56740f876aef8c010b86a40d5f56745a118d0906a34e69aec8c0db1cb8fa3")
bytes := w3.B("0x27c5342c")
amount := w3.I("12.34 ether")

Use go-ethereum/common to parse strings that may not be valid instead.

Third Party RPC Method Packages

Package Description
github.com/lmittmann/flashbots Package flashbots implements RPC API bindings for the Flashbots relay and mev-geth.

Custom RPC Method Bindings

Custom RPC method bindings can be created by implementing the w3types.RPCCaller interface.

Example: RPC binding for the Otterscan ots_getTransactionBySenderAndNonce method (Playground)

// TxBySenderAndNonceFactory requests the senders transaction hash by the nonce.
func TxBySenderAndNonceFactory(sender common.Address, nonce uint64) w3types.RPCCallerFactory[common.Hash] {
    return &getTransactionBySenderAndNonceFactory{
        sender: sender,
        nonce:  nonce,
    }
}

// getTransactionBySenderAndNonceFactory implements the w3types.RPCCaller and
// w3types.RPCCallerFactory interfaces. It stores the method parameters and
// the the reference to the return value.
type getTransactionBySenderAndNonceFactory struct {
    // params
    sender common.Address
    nonce  uint64

    // returns
    returns *common.Hash
}

// Returns sets the reference to the return value.
func (f *getTransactionBySenderAndNonceFactory) Returns(txHash *common.Hash) w3types.RPCCaller {
    f.returns = txHash
    return f
}

// CreateRequest creates a batch request element for the Otterscan getTransactionBySenderAndNonce method.
func (f *getTransactionBySenderAndNonceFactory) CreateRequest() (rpc.BatchElem, error) {
    return rpc.BatchElem{
        Method: "ots_getTransactionBySenderAndNonce",
        Args:   []any{f.sender, f.nonce},
        Result: f.returns,
    }, nil
}

// HandleResponse handles the response of the Otterscan getTransactionBySenderAndNonce method.
func (f *getTransactionBySenderAndNonceFactory) HandleResponse(elem rpc.BatchElem) error {
    if err := elem.Error; err != nil {
        return err
    }
    return nil
}
