## What it is
A PHP library providing an interface to the Ethereum blockchain via JSON-RPC, supporting HTTP, async, and WebSocket providers. It includes native ABI parsing and smart contract interaction capabilities.

## Use cases
- interact with ethereum blockchain from php
- call smart contract methods in php
- send transactions to ethereum via -rpc
- parse solidity ABI in php
- query eth node over websocket
- batch -rpc requests to ethereum node

## When to choose
- your backend is PHP and needs Ethereum JSON-RPC access
- you need ABI-based smart contract bindings in PHP
- you want sync, async, or WebSocket provider options

## When to avoid
- you need high-level DeFi tooling or contract deployment scaffolding beyond raw RPC
- your stack is JavaScript/Python where web3.js or web3.py are more mature
- you need active feature development; the project is largely in maintenance

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: rpc, serialization, sdk
- domain: blockchain, developer-tools, apis
- platform: php
- tags: ethereum, web3, smart-contracts, abi, -rpc, blockchain-client, cryptocurrency
