Integrate Embedded Wallets with the Ethereum Blockchain in Unity

While using the Web3Auth Unity SDK, you get the private key within the user scope. This private key can interact with the Nethereum Library to make EVM based blockchain calls, like getting user's account, fetch balance, sign transaction, send transaction, read from and write to the smart contract, etc. We have highlighted a few here for getting you started quickly on that.

Chain details for Ethereum​

  • Chain ID: 0x1
  • RPC URL: You can use our bundled RPC service from Infura, or your own choice of RPC service for production.
  • Display Name: Ethereum Mainnet
  • Block Explorer Link: https://etherscan.io
  • Ticker: ETH
  • Ticker Name: Ethereum

Installation​

In this reference, we're using the Nethereum library to demonstrate how to make blockchain calls using it with Web3Auth.

Package installation instructions​

See the Official repository.

Install via Package Manager using OpenUpm:

  • open Edit/Project Settings/Package Manager

  • add a new Scoped Registry (or edit the existing OpenUPM entry)

  • click Save or Apply

  • Open Window/Package Manager

  • click +

  • select Add package by name... or Add package from git URL...

  • paste com.nethereum.unity into name

  • paste 4.19.2 into version (or your preferred one)

  • click Add

Installing package for old version​

  • Download the latest net461dllsAOT.zip package from Nethereum's latest release

  • Extract and the rename the folder to NethereumLib for easy identification.

  • Move the folder to the Assets/Plugins folder of your Unity project.

  • You might have to delete a few files from the NethereumLib folder, if you're getting any errors while building the project. For our implementation, we deleted the following files: Newtonsoft.Json.dll, all the files starting with System.*, UnityEngine.dll, Nethereum.Web3Lite.dll, Nethereum.HdWallet.dll, NBitcoin.dll, Nethereum.RPC.Reactive.dll and Common.Logging.Core.dll.

We have followed this guide to set up the Nethereum package in our app. You can check their sample applications as well for a decent reference.

You can also check the Web3Auth Unity Sample Apps, where we have added the required packages.

Get balance​

public void getBalance() {
  if (account == null) {
    Debug.Log("Please Login First");
    return;
  }
  var balance = web3.Eth.GetBalance.SendRequestAsync(account.Address).Result.Value;

  Debug.Log(balance);
}

Sign a message​

public void signMessage() {
  if (account == null) {
    Debug.Log("Please Login First");
    return;
  }
  var msg = "test message 19/01/2023 02:55PM";
  var signer = new EthereumMessageSigner();
  var signature = signer.EncodeUTF8AndSign(msg, new EthECKey(privateKey));

  Debug.Log(signature);
}

Send transaction​

public async void sendTransaction() {
  if (account == null) {
    Debug.Log("Please Login First");
    return;
  }
  var toAddress = "0x2E464..82D5057fB507Cc21";
  var transaction = await web3.TransactionManager.SendTransactionAsync(account.Address, toAddress, new Nethereum.Hex.HexTypes.HexBigInteger(1));

  Debug.Log(transaction);
