ethers-rs is a complete Ethereum and Celo library and wallet implementation in Rust, providing JSON-RPC clients, contract bindings via abigen, and multi-chain EVM support. It has been deprecated in favor of the Alloy library.

Use cases

  • interact with ethereum smart contracts from rust
  • build a crypto wallet in rust
  • send transactions to evm-compatible chains
  • generate rust bindings for solidity contracts
  • query ethereum blockchain data
  • support celo and optimism transactions in rust

When to choose

  • maintaining an existing rust project already built on ethers-rs
  • targeting legacy evm chains needing the legacy feature flag
  • you cannot migrate to alloy yet

When to avoid

  • starting a new rust ethereum project - use alloy instead
  • you need ongoing updates or new chain support
  • you need non-evm blockchains
