# EthersSdk

> High-level SDK composed over the Ethers adapter - deposits, withdrawals, and chain-aware helpers.

## At a glance

* **Factory:** `createEthersSdk(client) → EthersSdk`
* **Composed resources:** `sdk.deposits`, `sdk.withdrawals`, `sdk.helpers`
* **Client vs SDK:** the **client** wires RPC/signing; the **sdk** adds high-level flows (quote → prepare → create → wait) and convenience helpers.

## Import

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"vitesse-light","dark":"tokyo-night"}}
import { createEthersClient, createEthersSdk } from '@dutterbutter/zksync-sdk/ethers';
```

## Quick start

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"vitesse-light","dark":"tokyo-night"}}
import { JsonRpcProvider, Wallet, parseEther } from 'ethers';
import { createEthersClient, createEthersSdk } from '@dutterbutter/zksync-sdk/ethers';

const l1 = new JsonRpcProvider(process.env.ETH_RPC!);
const l2 = new JsonRpcProvider(process.env.ZKSYNC_RPC!);
const signer = new Wallet(process.env.PRIVATE_KEY!, l1);

const client = createEthersClient({ l1, l2, signer });
const sdk = createEthersSdk(client);

// Example: deposit 0.05 ETH L1 → L2, wait for L2 execution
const handle = await sdk.deposits.create({
  token: ETH_ADDRESS, // 0x…00 sentinel for ETH supported
  amount: parseEther('0.05'),
  to: await signer.getAddress(),
});

await sdk.deposits.wait(handle, { for: 'l2' });

// Example: resolve core contracts
const { l1NativeTokenVault } = await sdk.helpers.contracts();
```

## `createEthersSdk(client) → EthersSdk`

<ParamField name="client" type="EthersClient" required>
  Instance returned by <code>`createEthersClient({(l1, l2, signer)})`</code>.
</ParamField>

**Returns:** `EthersSdk`

<Tip>
  The SDK composes the client with resources: <code>deposits</code>, <code>withdrawals</code>, and
  convenience <code>helpers</code>.
</Tip>

## EthersSdk interface

### `deposits: DepositsResource`

L1 → L2 flows. See **[Deposits](/api-reference/ethers/deposits)**.

### `withdrawals: WithdrawalsResource`

L2 → L1 flows. See **[Withdrawals](/api-reference/ethers/withdrawals)**.

## helpers

Utilities for chain addresses, connected contracts, and L1↔L2 token mapping.

### `addresses() → Promise<ResolvedAddresses>`

Resolve core addresses (Bridgehub, routers, vaults, base-token system).

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"vitesse-light","dark":"tokyo-night"}}
const a = await sdk.helpers.addresses();
```

### `contracts() → Promise<{ ...contracts }>`

Connected `ethers.Contract` instances for all core contracts.

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"vitesse-light","dark":"tokyo-night"}}
const c = await sdk.helpers.contracts();
```

### One-off contract getters

`l1AssetRouter() → Promise<Contract>`
`l1NativeTokenVault() → Promise<Contract>`
`l1Nullifier() → Promise<Contract>`

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"vitesse-light","dark":"tokyo-night"}}
const nullifier = await sdk.helpers.l1Nullifier();
```

### `baseToken(chainId?: bigint) → Promise<Address>`

L1 address of the **base token** for the current (or supplied) L2 chain.

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"vitesse-light","dark":"tokyo-night"}}
const base = await sdk.helpers.baseToken(); // infers from client.l2
```

### `l2TokenAddress(l1Token: Address) → Promise<Address>`

L2 token address for an L1 token.

* Handles ETH special case (L2 ETH placeholder).
* If token is the chain’s base token, returns the L2 base-token system address.
* Otherwise queries `IL2NativeTokenVault.l2TokenAddress`.

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"vitesse-light","dark":"tokyo-night"}}
const l2Crown = await sdk.helpers.l2TokenAddress(CROWN_ERC20_ADDRESS);
```

### `l1TokenAddress(l2Token: Address) → Promise<Address>`

L1 token for an L2 token via `IL2AssetRouter.l1TokenAddress`. ETH placeholder resolves to canonical ETH.

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"vitesse-light","dark":"tokyo-night"}}
const l1Crown = await sdk.helpers.l1TokenAddress(L2_CROWN_ADDRESS);
```

### `assetId(l1Token: Address) → Promise<Hex>`

`bytes32` asset ID via `L1NativeTokenVault.assetId` (ETH handled canonically).

```ts theme={"theme":{"light":"vitesse-light","dark":"tokyo-night"}}
const id = await sdk.helpers.assetId(CROWN_ERC20_ADDRESS);
```

## Notes & pitfalls

* **Client first:** You must construct the **client** with `{ l1, l2, signer }` before creating the SDK.
* **Chain-derived behavior:** helpers pull from on-chain sources; results depend on the connected networks.
* **Error model:** resource methods throw typed errors; prefer <code>try\*</code> variants on resources for result objects.
