Core Features of thirdweb

End-to-End Smart Contract Tools

thirdweb offers secure, audited smart contract templates built using a modular framework. These include NFTs, tokens, marketplaces, staking pools, and more—all customizable and deployable in minutes.

With the Solidity SDK and modular contracts, developers can compose complex logic without writing code from scratch. Deployments are gas-optimized and compatible with any EVM chain, including Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, and Optimism.

Client SDKs to Connect Users to Web3

Onboarding users into web3 remains one of the biggest friction points. thirdweb solves this with client SDKs for web, mobile, and gaming platforms that support:

This means users can sign up with an email or social account and instantly access wallet functionality—no seed phrases required.

Web3 Payments in Any Token on Any Chain

Enable seamless crypto payments in your app using integrated onramps, swaps, and bridging. thirdweb supports transactions in any token across any EVM chain, allowing users to pay with their preferred currency while developers receive payouts in their desired asset.

The platform handles cross-chain complexity behind the scenes, making transactions feel native and smooth—just like traditional web2 payments.

Simplify Blockchain Data Queries

Fetching onchain data shouldn’t require running your own node. thirdweb provides customizable API endpoints to query real-time and historical blockchain data with ease.

You can start from pre-built blueprints or design custom API schemas tailored to your app’s needs. This is ideal for dApps requiring live NFT metadata, transaction histories, or token balances.

Dedicated APIs for Web3 Apps & Games

thirdweb’s scalable APIs are optimized for high-throughput applications like games and marketplaces. Backed by secure wallets and automatic nonce management, these APIs ensure reliable transaction execution even during peak loads.

Gas-optimized retry logic minimizes failed transactions—a critical advantage when launching high-demand drops or in-game purchases.


In Any Language, On Every Platform

thirdweb’s SDKs support multiple programming languages and frameworks, making integration straightforward regardless of your tech stack.

Here's a simple example of how to interact with a smart contract using JavaScript:

import { createThirdwebClient, getContract } from "thirdweb";
import { sepolia } from "thirdweb/chains";

// Initialize the client
const client = createThirdwebClient({ clientId: "your-client-id" });

// Connect to your smart contract
const contract = getContract({
  client,
  chain: sepolia,
  address: "0x...",
});

// Get all NFTs
const nfts = await getNFTs({ contract });
console.info(nfts);

This flexibility allows teams to build cross-platform experiences without rewriting core logic.
