SDK

Details are provisional and may be updated during development.

Current SDK Approach

Arichain takes a pragmatic approach to developer tooling by leveraging existing, mature SDKs from both Ethereum and Solana ecosystems. This ensures developers can use familiar tools and workflows while benefiting from Arichain's Multi-VM capabilities.

EVM Development For Ethereum Virtual Machine development, use standard Ethereum SDKs and tools:

// Using ethers.js for EVM interactions
import { ethers } from 'ethers';

// Connect to Arichain EVM
const provider = new ethers.providers.JsonRpcProvider('https://evm-rpc.arichain.io');
const wallet = new ethers.Wallet(privateKey, provider);

// Deploy EVM contract
const contractFactory = new ethers.ContractFactory(abi, bytecode, wallet);
const contract = await contractFactory.deploy(...constructorArgs);

// Interact with deployed contract
const result = await contract.someFunction(param1, param2);

Supported EVM Tools:

• ethers.js / web3.js: Standard Ethereum JavaScript libraries

• Hardhat / Truffle: Development frameworks and testing suites

• Remix IDE: Browser-based development environment

• MetaMask: Wallet integration for dApps

• OpenZeppelin: Security-focused smart contract library

SVM Development For Solana Virtual Machine development, use standard Solana SDKs and frameworks:

// Using @solana/web3.js for SVM interactions
import { Connection, PublicKey, Transaction } from '@solana/web3.js';
import { Program, AnchorProvider } from '@project-serum/anchor';

// Connect to Arichain SVM
const connection = new Connection('https://svm-rpc.arichain.io');
const provider = new AnchorProvider(connection, wallet, {});

// Load Solana program
const program = new Program(idl, programId, provider);

// Execute instruction
const tx = await program.methods
  .someInstruction(param1, param2)
  .accounts({
    account1: publicKey1,
    account2: publicKey2,
  })
  .rpc();

Supported SVM Tools:

• @solana/web3.js: Official Solana JavaScript SDK

• Anchor Framework: Rust-based development framework

• Solana CLI: Command-line tools for deployment and management

• Phantom / Solflare: Wallet integration for dApps

• Metaplex: NFT and digital asset standards

Future Implementation: Unified Multi-VM SDK

Planned Unified SDK Architecture

We are developing a unified SDK that will provide seamless Multi-VM development experience:

// Future unified SDK (planned implementation)
import { ArichainProvider, MultiVMContract } from '@arichain/sdk';

const provider = new ArichainProvider({
    evmRpc: 'https://evm-rpc.arichain.io',
    svmRpc: 'https://svm-rpc.arichain.io',
    defaultGasToken: 'ARI'
});

// Deploy contracts to multiple VMs simultaneously
const multiContract = await provider.deployMultiVM({
    evm: {
        contract: evmContractFactory,
        args: evmConstructorArgs
    },
    svm: {
        program: svmProgram,
        args: svmInitArgs
    }
});
