Get started

Implementation

Wagmi

Web3Modal can be configured in two different ways:

• Default: For a quick integration you can use defaultWagmiConfig function which wraps Wagmi's creatConfig function with predefined configuration. This includes WalletConnect, Coinbase and Injected connectors, and our Blockchain API as a transport (if the chain is not support by the Blockchain API it will fallback to the chain's default RPC).
  As shown in the code example, this configuration (with the exception of the connectors) can be overridden.
  
• Custom: This configuration setup is great for projects that already have Wagmi integrated or that would like to have more control over the Wagmi configuration. Once Wagmi is integrated in your project you will need to add showQrModal: false to the WalletConnect connector and call createWeb3Modal with its required parameters.

Select your preferred configuration mode below:

Default

In your main.ts file set up the following configuration.

import { createWeb3Modal, defaultWagmiConfig } from '@web3modal/wagmi'

import { mainnet, arbitrum } from 'viem/chains'
import { reconnect } from '@wagmi/core'

// 1. Get a project ID at https://cloud.walletconnect.com
const projectId = 'YOUR_PROJECT_ID'

// 2. Create wagmiConfig
const metadata = {
  name: 'Web3Modal',
  description: 'Web3Modal Example',
  url: 'https://web3modal.com', // origin must match your domain & subdomain.
  icons: ['https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/37784886']
}

const chains = [mainnet, arbitrum] as const
export const config = defaultWagmiConfig({
  chains,
  projectId,
  metadata,
  ...wagmiOptions // Optional - Override createConfig parameters
})
reconnect(config)

// 3. Create modal
const modal = createWeb3Modal({
  wagmiConfig: config,
  projectId,
  enableAnalytics: true, // Optional - defaults to your Cloud configuration
  enableOnramp: true // Optional - false as default
})

Custom

In your main.ts file set up the following configuration.

import { createWeb3Modal, walletConnect } from '@web3modal/wagmi'

import { reconnect, http, createConfig } from '@wagmi/core'
import { mainnet, sepolia } from '@wagmi/core/chains'
import { coinbaseWallet, injected } from '@wagmi/connectors'

// 1. Get a project ID at https://cloud.walletconnect.com
const projectId = 'YOUR_PROJECT_ID'

const metadata = {
  name: 'Web3Modal',
  description: 'Web3Modal Example',
  url: 'https://web3modal.com', // url must match your domain & subdomain
  icons: ['https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/37784886']
}

const config = createConfig({
  chains: [mainnet, sepolia],
  transports: {
    [mainnet.id]: http(),
    [sepolia.id]: http()
  },
  connectors: [
    walletConnect({ projectId, metadata, showQrModal: false }),
    injected({ shimDisconnect: true }),
    coinbaseWallet({
      appName: metadata.name,
      appLogoUrl: metadata.icons[0]
    })
  ]
})
reconnect(config)

const modal = createWeb3Modal({
  wagmiConfig: config,
  projectId,
  enableAnalytics: true, // Optional - defaults to your Cloud configuration
  enableOnramp: true // Optional - false as default
})

IMPORTANT

Make sure that the url from the metadata matches your domain and subdomain. This will later be used by the Verify API to tell wallets if your application has been verified or not.

Wagmi v1

You can start Web3Modal configuration using either default or custom mode.

Default mode will implement WalletConnect, Browser Wallets (injected) and Coinbase options in addition to Wagmi's public provider and WalletConnect's provider.

Default

In your main.ts file set up the following configuration.

import { createWeb3Modal, defaultWagmiConfig } from '@web3modal/wagmi'

import { mainnet, arbitrum } from 'viem/chains'

// 1. Define constants
const projectId = 'YOUR_PROJECT_ID'

// 2. Create wagmiConfig
const metadata = {
  name: 'Web3Modal',
  description: 'Web3Modal Example',
  url: 'https://web3modal.com',
  icons: ['https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/37784886']
}

const chains = [mainnet, arbitrum]
const config = defaultWagmiConfig({ chains, projectId, metadata })

const modal = createWeb3Modal({
  wagmiConfig: config,
  projectId,
  enableAnalytics: true // Optional - defaults to your Cloud configuration
})

Custom

In your main.ts file set up the following configuration.

import { createWeb3Modal, walletConnectProvider, EIP6963Connector } from '@web3modal/wagmi'

import { configureChains, createConfig } from '@wagmi/core'
import { mainnet } from 'viem/chains'
import { publicProvider } from '@wagmi/core/providers/public'
import { InjectedConnector } from '@wagmi/core'
import { CoinbaseWalletConnector } from '@wagmi/core/connectors/coinbaseWallet'
import { WalletConnectConnector } from '@wagmi/core/connectors/walletConnect'

// 1. Define constants
const projectId = 'YOUR_PROJECT_ID'

// 2. Configure wagmi client
const { chains, publicClient } = configureChains(
  [mainnet],
  [walletConnectProvider({ projectId }), publicProvider()]
)

const metadata = {
  name: 'Web3Modal',
  description: 'Web3Modal Example',
  url: 'https://web3modal.com',
  icons: ['https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/37784886']
}

const config = createConfig({
  autoConnect: true,
  connectors: [
    new WalletConnectConnector({ chains, options: { projectId, showQrModal: false, metadata } }),
    new EIP6963Connector({ chains }),
    new InjectedConnector({ chains, options: { shimDisconnect: true } }),
    new CoinbaseWalletConnector({ chains, options: { appName: metadata.name } })
  ],
  publicClient
})

const modal = createWeb3Modal({
  wagmiConfig: config,
  projectId,
  enableAnalytics: true // Optional - defaults to your Cloud configuration
})

note

The provided code utilizes Wagmi, a JavaScript library for wallet and provider connections, along with the Web3Modal library to create a wallet connection modal. It features various connectors:

1. WalletConnectConnector: Enables cross-device wallet connections using the WalletConnect protocol, adhering to EIP-1193.

2. EIP6963Connector: Connects to wallets supporting the EIP-6963 standard, an Ethereum wallet extension specification.

3. InjectedConnector: Interfaces with browser wallet injections, e.g., MetaMask.

4. CoinbaseWalletConnector: Specifically for Coinbase Wallet.

Additionally, there's a publicProvider for reading blockchain data through public nodes like Infura. The walletConnectProvider, which operates in a manner akin to the public provider but employs the Blockchain API, is additionally accessible. The WagmiConfig component shares wagmiConfig with child components.

Ethers

In your main.ts file set up the following configuration.

import { createWeb3Modal, defaultConfig } from '@web3modal/ethers5'

// 1. Get projectId at https://cloud.walletconnect.com
const projectId = 'YOUR_PROJECT_ID'

// 2. Set chains
const mainnet = {
  chainId: 1,
  name: 'Ethereum',
  currency: 'ETH',
  explorerUrl: 'https://etherscan.io',
  rpcUrl: 'https://cloudflare-eth.com'
}

// 3. Create your application's metadata object
const metadata = {
  name: 'My Website',
  description: 'My Website description',
  url: 'https://mywebsite.com', // url must match your domain & subdomain
  icons: ['https://avatars.mywebsite.com/']
}

// 4. Create Ethers config
const ethersConfig = defaultConfig({
  /*Required*/
  metadata,

  /*Optional*/
  enableEIP6963: true, // true by default
  enableInjected: true, // true by default
  enableCoinbase: true, // true by default
  rpcUrl: '...', // used for the Coinbase SDK
  defaultChainId: 1 // used for the Coinbase SDK
})

// 5. Create a Web3Modal instance
const modal = createWeb3Modal({
  ethersConfig,
  chains: [mainnet],
  projectId,
  enableAnalytics: true, // Optional - defaults to your Cloud configuration
  enableOnramp: true // Optional - false as default
})

IMPORTANT

Make sure that the url from the metadata matches your domain and subdomain. This will later be used by the Verify API to tell wallets if your application has been verified or not.

Ethers v5

In your main.ts file set up the following configuration.

import { createWeb3Modal, defaultConfig } from '@web3modal/ethers'

// 1. Get projectId at https://cloud.walletconnect.com
const projectId = 'YOUR_PROJECT_ID'

// 2. Set chains
const mainnet = {
  chainId: 1,
  name: 'Ethereum',
  currency: 'ETH',
  explorerUrl: 'https://etherscan.io',
  rpcUrl: 'https://cloudflare-eth.com'
}

// 3. Create your application's metadata object
const metadata = {
  name: 'My Website',
  description: 'My Website description',
  url: 'https://mywebsite.com', // url must match your domain & subdomain
  icons: ['https://avatars.mywebsite.com/']
}

// 4. Create Ethers config
const ethersConfig = defaultConfig({
  /*Required*/
  metadata,

  /*Optional*/
  enableEIP6963: true, // true by default
  enableInjected: true, // true by default
  enableCoinbase: true, // true by default
  rpcUrl: '...', // used for the Coinbase SDK
  defaultChainId: 1 // used for the Coinbase SDK
})

// 5. Create a Web3Modal instance
const modal = createWeb3Modal({
  ethersConfig,
  chains: [mainnet],
  projectId,
  enableAnalytics: true, // Optional - defaults to your Cloud configuration
  enableOnramp: true // Optional - false as default
})

IMPORTANT

Make sure that the url from the metadata matches your domain and subdomain. This will later be used by the Verify API to tell wallets if your application has been verified or not.

Trigger the modal

Wagmi

To open Web3Modal you can use our web component or build your own button with Web3Modal actions.

Web Component

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <title>HTML Example</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <w3m-button />
    <script type="module" src="main.ts"></script>
  </body>
</html>

Learn more about the Web3Modal web components here

note

Web components are global html elements that don't require importing.

Actions

You can trigger the modal by calling the open function from a modal instance returned by createWeb3Modal.

Let's first add two html elements to display information to the user:

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <title>HTML Example</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <button id="btn">Connect</button>
    <span id="user"></span>
    <script type="module" src="main.ts"></script>
  </body>
</html>

Following with our main.ts file, we can now add the needed logic to open the modal and display information on the DOM. Here we're also using Wagmi's actions to track account changes:

//main.ts
import { watchAccount, disconnect, getAccount } from '@wagmi/core'

function connect() {
  if (getAccount(config).isConnected) {
    disconnect(config)
  } else {
    modal.open()
  }
}

const btnEl = document.getElementById('btn')
const userEl = document.getElementById('user')

btnEl.addEventListener('click', connect)

// listening for account changes
watchAccount(config,
  {
    onChange(account) {
      userEl.innerText = account.address ?? ''
      if (account.isConnected) {
        btnEl.innerText = 'Disconnect'
      } else {
        btnEl.innerText = 'Connect'
      }
    }
  }

Smart Contract Interaction

Wagmi

Wagmi actions can help us interact with wallets and smart contracts:

import { readContract } from '@wagmi/core'
import { USDTAbi } from '../abi/USDTAbi'

const USDTAddress = '0x...'

const data = readContract({
  address: USDTAddress,
  abi: USDTAbi,
  functionName: 'symbol'
})

Read more about Wagmi actions for smart contract interaction here.

Ethers

Ethers can help us interact with wallets and smart contracts:

import { BrowserProvider, Contract, formatUnits } from 'ethers'

const USDTAddress = '0x617f3112bf5397D0467D315cC709EF968D9ba546'

// The ERC-20 Contract ABI, which is a common contract interface
// for tokens (this is the Human-Readable ABI format)
const USDTAbi = [
  'function name() view returns (string)',
  'function symbol() view returns (string)',
  'function balanceOf(address) view returns (uint)',
  'function transfer(address to, uint amount)',
  'event Transfer(address indexed from, address indexed to, uint amount)'
]

const walletProvider = modal.getWalletProvider()

async function getBalance() {
  if (!isConnected) throw Error('User disconnected')

  const ethersProvider = new BrowserProvider(walletProvider)
  const signer = await ethersProvider.getSigner()
  // The Contract object
  const USDTContract = new Contract(USDTAddress, USDTAbi, signer)
  const USDTBalance = await USDTContract.balanceOf(address)

  console.log(formatUnits(USDTBalance, 18))
}
