Using ethers.js

Connect to Helix Chain using the popular ethers.js library (v6).

Install

Terminal

npm install ethers

Read-Only Provider

JavaScript

import { JsonRpcProvider, formatEther } from 'ethers';

const provider = new JsonRpcProvider('https://rpc.thehelixchain.xyz', {
  chainId: 8088,
  name: 'helix'
});

// Get latest block number
const blockNumber = await provider.getBlockNumber();
console.log('Block:', blockNumber);

// Get balance
const balance = await provider.getBalance('0xYOUR_ADDRESS');
console.log('Balance:', formatEther(balance), 'HLX');

Send Transaction

JavaScript

import { Wallet, JsonRpcProvider, parseEther } from 'ethers';

const provider = new JsonRpcProvider('https://rpc.thehelixchain.xyz', {
  chainId: 8088,
  name: 'helix'
});
const wallet = new Wallet('YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY', provider);

const tx = await wallet.sendTransaction({
  to: '0xRECIPIENT_ADDRESS',
  value: parseEther('1.0')  // Send 1 HLX
});

const receipt = await tx.wait();
console.log('TX Hash:', receipt.hash);

Interact with HelixSwap Router

JavaScript

import { Contract, JsonRpcProvider } from 'ethers';

const ROUTER = '0x392880e8E97b4eFe0D4553D04C0f84072c87cA0B';
const ROUTER_ABI = [
  'function getAmountsOut(uint amountIn, address[] path) view returns (uint[] amounts)',
  'function swapExactETHForTokens(uint amountOutMin, address[] path, address to, uint deadline) payable'
];

const provider = new JsonRpcProvider('https://rpc.thehelixchain.xyz');
const router = new Contract(ROUTER, ROUTER_ABI, provider);

// Get swap quote: 1 HLX -> WHLX
const WHLX = '0x85341204E4988F377a813633D6d13e6f528c1cF5';
const amounts = await router.getAmountsOut(parseEther('1'), [WHLX, TOKEN_ADDRESS]);
console.log('Output:', formatEther(amounts[1]));

Using web3.js

Connect using web3.js (v4).

JavaScript

import { Web3 } from 'web3';

const web3 = new Web3('https://rpc.thehelixchain.xyz');

// Get block number
const block = await web3.eth.getBlockNumber();
console.log('Block:', block);

// Get balance
const balance = await web3.eth.getBalance('0xYOUR_ADDRESS');
console.log('Balance:', web3.utils.fromWei(balance, 'ether'), 'HLX');

// Subscribe to new blocks (WebSocket)
const web3ws = new Web3('wss://ws.thehelixchain.xyz');
const sub = await web3ws.eth.subscribe('newHeads');
sub.on('data', (block) => {
  console.log('New block:', block.number);
});
