Ethereum (EVM) support on Turnkey

Address derivation​

Turnkey supports EVM address derivation with ADDRESS_TYPE_ETHEREUM. This address format is valid across all EVM chains and L2s.

Transaction construction and signing​

To construct and sign an EVM transaction with Turnkey, we offer:

Transaction parsing, policies, and signing​

Turnkey has built an EVM parser which runs in a secure enclave, to parse unsigned EVM transactions and extract useful metadata: transaction source, destination, amount, chain ID, and more. See the EthereumTransaction struct in our policy language page for a full list.

As a bonus, Turnkey also takes care of combining the signature with the original payload if you use the SIGN_TRANSACTION activity types: the input is the unsigned payload (RLP encoded), and the output is the signed RLP encoded transaction, ready to be broadcast!

Account abstraction​

Turnkey is built to be flexible: a lot of our customers use Turnkey as a smart contract signer, alongside other types of signers.

This is so common that AA wallet providers have integrated Turnkey as a default solution in their documentation. Refer to our AA Wallet documentation for further information.

EIP-1193 provider​

We've published an experimental @turnkey/eip-1193-provider package, which adheres to the EIP-1193 standard. It's built to integrate seamlessly with a broad spectrum of EVM-compatible chains, offering capabilities like account management, transaction signing, and blockchain interaction.

Wallet signer​

Did you know? Turnkey activities can be signed with an API key, a passkey...or any Ethereum wallet if you use our @turnkey/wallet-stamper package!

Examples and demos​

A lot of our demos use EVM chains and capabilities. The most complete demo is our Demo Embedded wallet, a fully-functional, hosted wallet which showcases (among other things) send and receive functionality on Sepolia.

Try it out at wallet.tx.xyz!

The code behind this demo is open-source, available at https://github.com/tkhq/demo-embedded-wallet/
