Note: This package is currently in beta. Please test thoroughly in development environments before using in production.
A simple and secure package to manage BIP-44 wallets for EVM-compatible blockchains. This package provides a clean API for creating, managing, and interacting with Ethereum-compatible wallets using BIP-39 seed phrases and EVM-specific derivation paths.
About WDK
This module is part of the WDK (Wallet Development Kit) project, which empowers developers to build secure, non-custodial wallets with unified blockchain access, stateless architecture, and complete user control.

Installation
npm install @tetherto/wdk-wallet-evmQuick Start
import WalletManagerEvm from '@tetherto/wdk-wallet-evm'
const seedPhrase = 'abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon abandon about'
const wallet = new WalletManagerEvm(seedPhrase, {
provider: 'https://sepolia.drpc.org',
})
const account = await wallet.getAccount(0)
const address = await account.getAddress()
console.log('Address:', address)
wallet.dispose()Key Capabilities

- EIP-1559 Transaction Support: Modern fee estimation and transaction sending
- ERC-20 Token Support: Query balances and transfer tokens
- Message Signing: Sign and verify messages (EIP-191 and EIP-712)
- Fee Estimation: Real-time network fee rates with normal/fast tiers
- Secure Memory Disposal: Clear private keys from memory when done
Compatibility
- Ethereum Mainnet and testnets (Sepolia)
- Layer 2 Networks: Arbitrum, Optimism, Base
- Other EVM Chains: Polygon, Avalanche C-Chain, and any EVM-compatible chain
