Signer - ZKsync Docs

This class is to be used in a browser environment. The easiest way to construct it is to use the getSigner method of the BrowserProvider. This structure extends ethers.JsonRpcSigner and so supports all the methods available for it.

import { BrowserProvider, Provider, types } from "zksync-ethers";

const browserProvider = new BrowserProvider(window.ethereum);
const signer = Signer.from(await browserProvider.getSigner(), Number((await browserProvider.getNetwork()).chainId), Provider.getDefaultProvider(types.Network.Sepolia));

`getAllBalances`

Returns all token balances of the account.

async getAllBalances(): Promise<BalancesMap>

Example

import { BrowserProvider, Provider, types } from "zksync-ethers";

const browserProvider = new BrowserProvider(window.ethereum);
const signer = Signer.from(await browserProvider.getSigner(), Number((await browserProvider.getNetwork()).chainId), Provider.getDefaultProvider(types.Network.Sepolia));

const allBalances = await signer.getAllBalances();

`getBalance`

Returns the amount of the token the Signer has.

Inputs

Parameter	Type	Description
`token?`	`Address`	The address of the token. ETH by default.
`blockTag`	`BlockTag`	In which block a balance should be checked on. `committed`, i.e. the latest processed one is the default option.

async getBalance(token?: Address, blockTag: BlockTag = 'committed'): Promise<bigint>

Example

Get ETH balance.

import { BrowserProvider, Provider, types } from "zksync-ethers";

const browserProvider = new BrowserProvider(window.ethereum);
const signer = Signer.from(await browserProvider.getSigner(), Number((await browserProvider.getNetwork()).chainId), Provider.getDefaultProvider(types.Network.Sepolia));

console.log(`ETH balance: ${await signer.getBalance()}`);

Get token balance.

import { BrowserProvider, Provider, types } from "zksync-ethers";

const browserProvider = new BrowserProvider(window.ethereum);
const signer = Signer.from(await browserProvider.getSigner(), Number((await browserProvider.getNetwork()).chainId), Provider.getDefaultProvider(types.Network.Sepolia));

const token = "0x6a4Fb925583F7D4dF82de62d98107468aE846FD1";

console.log(`Token balance: ${await signer.getBalance(token)}`);

`getDeploymentNonce`

Returns the deployment nonce of the account.

async getDeploymentNonce(): Promise<BigNumber>

Example

import { BrowserProvider, Provider, types } from "zksync-ethers";

const browserProvider = new BrowserProvider(window.ethereum);
const signer = Signer.from(await browserProvider.getSigner(), Number((await browserProvider.getNetwork()).chainId), Provider.getDefaultProvider(types.Network.Sepolia));

console.log(`Nonce: ${await signer.getDeploymentNonce()}`);

`getL2BridgeContracts`

Returns L2 bridge contracts.

async getL2BridgeContracts(): Promise<{
  erc20: IL2Bridge;
  weth: IL2Bridge;
  shared: IL2Bridge;
}>

Example

import { BrowserProvider, Provider, types } from "zksync-ethers";

const browserProvider = new BrowserProvider(window.ethereum);
const signer = Signer.from(await browserProvider.getSigner(), Number((await browserProvider.getNetwork()).chainId), Provider.getDefaultProvider(types.Network.Sepolia));

const l2BridgeContracts = await signer.getL2BridgeContracts();

`getNonce`

Returns account's nonce number.

Inputs

Parameter	Type	Description
`blockTag?`	`BlockTag`	In which block a balance should be checked on. `committed`, i.e. the latest processed one is the default option.

async getNonce(blockTag?: BlockTag): Promise<number>

Example

import { BrowserProvider, Provider, types } from "zksync-ethers";

const browserProvider = new BrowserProvider(window.ethereum);
const signer = Signer.from(await browserProvider.getSigner(), Number((await browserProvider.getNetwork()).chainId), Provider.getDefaultProvider(types.Network.Sepolia));

const nonce = await signer.getNonce();

`transfer`

Please note that for now, unlike Ethereum, ZKsync does not support native transfers, i.e. the value field of all transactions is equal to 0. All the token transfers are done through ERC20 transfer function calls.

But for convenience, the Wallet class has transfer method, which can transfer any ERC20 tokens.

Inputs

Parameter	Type	Description
`transaction.to`	`Address`	The address of the recipient.
`transaction.amount`	`BigNumberish`	The amount of the token to transfer.
`transaction.token?`	`Address`	The address of the token. `ETH` by default.
`transaction.paymasterParams?`	`PaymasterParams`	Paymaster parameters.
`transaction.overrides?`	`ethers.Overrides`	Transaction's overrides which may be used to pass L2 `gasLimit`, `gasPrice`, `value`, etc.

async transfer(transaction: {
  to: Address;
  amount: BigNumberish;
  token ? : Address;
  paymasterParams?: PaymasterParams;
  overrides ? : ethers.Overrides;
}): Promise<ethers.ContractTransaction>

Examples

Transfer ETH.

import { BrowserProvider, Provider, Wallet, types } from "zksync-ethers";
import { ethers } from "ethers";

const browserProvider = new BrowserProvider(window.ethereum);
const signer = Signer.from(
  await browserProvider.getSigner(),
  Number((await browserProvider.getNetwork()).chainId),
  Provider.getDefaultProvider(types.Network.Sepolia)
);

const transferTx = await signer.transfer({
  to: Wallet.createRandom().address,
  amount: ethers.parseEther("0.01"),
});

const receipt = await transferTx.wait();

console.log(`The sum of ${receipt.value} ETH was transferred to ${receipt.to}`);
