Alternatives

List of alternatives.

There are several alternative open-source projects in the web3 & swift field. But our library is the most technologically advanced and adopted by community.

We are keep growing. Thank you for your support!

2. Boilertalk/Web3.swift

   • Web3 library for Swift. Sign transactions and interact with Smart Contracts in the Ethereum Network.
   • pod 'Web3', '~> 0.4.1'
   • Ethereum Web3 Swift library implementation (the latest commit was on 1 Sep 2018) with the following unrealized features:
   • ✅ realized modularity
   • ❌ no ENS
   • ❌ no TxPool
   • ❌ no EIP681 support
   • ❌ no event loops
   • ❌ less supported ERCs (only ERC-20, ERC-165, ERC-721)

3. Web3Swift.io (0.0.3)

   • Web3 library for Swift. Construct and sign transactions, interact with smart contracts.
   • pod 'Web3Swift.io', '~> 0.0.3'
   • ❌ no TxPool
   • ❌ no ENS
   • ❌ no EIP681 support

4. web3swift.pod (2.1.10)

   • __Web3 implementation in pure Swift for iOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS and Linux
   • 🧊 development is frozen. We continue our work in this repo.
   • ❌ unreliable and too bad EIP681 parsing: BANKEX, MATTER
   • ❌ inconvenient, concise way to implement TxPool on promises: BANKEX, MATTER
   • ❌ not support ERCs
