EthereumJ is a pure-Java implementation of the Ethereum protocol as defined in the yellow paper, usable as a Maven/Gradle dependency or standalone JAR. The project is officially deprecated and no longer maintained, with JSON-RPC client features moved to Ethereum Harmony.

Use cases

  • embed ethereum protocol support in a java application
  • run an ethereum node from the jvm
  • interact with the ethereum blockchain in java
  • build blockchain tools on top of the ethereum protocol
  • learn how the ethereum yellow paper is implemented

When to choose

  • you need a java/jvm library implementing the ethereum protocol for a legacy codebase
  • you want to study a reference implementation of the ethereum yellow paper

When to avoid

  • you need an actively maintained ethereum client
  • you need JSON-RPC or full client features (use Ethereum Harmony or other clients)
  • you are starting a new project today
