📋 What is Universal FHEVM SDK?

A production-ready, framework-agnostic SDK that makes building confidential dApps simple, consistent, and developer-friendly. Inspired by wagmi's elegant API design, but works everywhere: React, Vue, Node.js, Next.js, or vanilla JavaScript.

The Problem

Current FHEVM development requires:

❌ Managing multiple scattered dependencies
❌ Framework-specific implementations
❌ Complex encryption/decryption boilerplate
❌ Inconsistent patterns across projects

✅ Our Solution

Universal FHEVM SDK provides:

✅ Single Package: All dependencies wrapped in one SDK
✅ Framework Agnostic: Works in React, Vue, Node.js, Next.js
✅ Wagmi-Like API: Familiar hooks and intuitive patterns
✅ < 10 Lines to Start: Minimal setup, maximum productivity

// That's it! Start encrypting in < 10 lines
import { createFhevmInstance, NETWORKS } from '@fhevm/universal-sdk';
import { ethers } from 'ethers';

const provider = new ethers.BrowserProvider(window.ethereum);
const fhevm = await createFhevmInstance({
  network: NETWORKS.sepolia,
  provider
});

const encrypted = await fhevm.encrypt32(12345);

✨ Key Features

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

# Install the SDK
npm install @fhevm/universal-sdk ethers

# Or with yarn
yarn add @fhevm/universal-sdk ethers

# Or with pnpm
pnpm add @fhevm/universal-sdk ethers

Vanilla JavaScript / Node.js

import { createFhevmInstance, NETWORKS } from '@fhevm/universal-sdk';
import { ethers } from 'ethers';

// Setup provider
const provider = new ethers.BrowserProvider(window.ethereum);

// Create FHEVM instance (< 10 lines!)
const fhevm = await createFhevmInstance({
  network: NETWORKS.sepolia,
  provider
});

// Encrypt a value
const encrypted = await fhevm.encrypt32(12345);

// Use in contract call
const contract = new ethers.Contract(address, abi, await provider.getSigner());
await contract.submitData(encrypted);

React

import { useFhevm, useEncrypt, NETWORKS } from '@fhevm/universal-sdk/react';
import { useProvider } from 'wagmi';

function MyComponent() {
  const provider = useProvider();
  const { fhevm, isLoading, error } = useFhevm({
    network: NETWORKS.sepolia,
    provider
  });

  const { encrypt, encrypted } = useEncrypt(fhevm);

  const handleEncrypt = async () => {
    await encrypt({ type: 'euint32', value: 12345 });
    console.log('Encrypted:', encrypted);
  };

  if (isLoading) return <div>Initializing FHE...</div>;
  if (error) return <div>Error: {error.message}</div>;

  return <button onClick={handleEncrypt}>Encrypt Value</button>;
}

Next.js 14 (App Router)

'use client';

import { useFhevm, useEncryptedInput, NETWORKS } from '@fhevm/universal-sdk/react';
import { useWalletClient } from 'wagmi';

export default function SubmitData() {
  const { data: walletClient } = useWalletClient();
  const provider = walletClient ? new ethers.BrowserProvider(walletClient) : null;

  const { fhevm } = useFhevm({
    network: NETWORKS.sepolia,
    provider
  });

  const { createInput } = useEncryptedInput(
    fhevm,
    contractAddress,
    userAddress
  );

  const handleSubmit = async () => {
    const input = fhevm
      .createEncryptedInput(contractAddress, userAddress)
      .add32(500)  // spending
      .add8(10);   // rides

    const encrypted = await createInput(input);

    // Use encrypted.handles and encrypted.inputProof in contract call
    await contract.submitCardData(
      ...encrypted.handles,
      encrypted.inputProof
    );
  };

  return <button onClick={handleSubmit}>Submit Encrypted Data</button>;
}

📚 Complete API Reference

Core API

`createFhevmInstance(config)`

Create a new FHEVM instance.

const fhevm = await createFhevmInstance({
  network: NETWORKS.sepolia,
  provider: ethersProvider,
  gatewayUrl: 'https://gateway.sepolia.zama.ai', // optional
  aclAddress: '0x...', // optional
  kmsVerifierAddress: '0x...' // optional
});

Parameters:

network: Network configuration (use NETWORKS.sepolia, NETWORKS.zamaDevnet, or custom)
provider: ethers.js provider (BrowserProvider or JsonRpcProvider)
gatewayUrl: (Optional) Custom gateway URL
aclAddress: (Optional) Custom ACL contract address
kmsVerifierAddress: (Optional) Custom KMS verifier address

Returns: Promise

Encryption Methods

// Encrypt unsigned integers
await fhevm.encrypt8(255);        // euint8 (0-255)
await fhevm.encrypt16(65535);     // euint16 (0-65535)
await fhevm.encrypt32(4294967295); // euint32
await fhevm.encrypt64(BigInt('18446744073709551615')); // euint64

// Encrypt boolean
await fhevm.encryptBool(true);

// Encrypt address
await fhevm.encryptAddress('0x1234567890123456789012345678901234567890');

Encrypted Input Builder

For complex contract calls with multiple encrypted parameters:

const input = fhevm
  .createEncryptedInput(contractAddress, userAddress)
  .add32(500)        // First param: euint32
  .add8(10)          // Second param: euint8
  .addBool(true)     // Third param: ebool
  .add64(BigInt(1000)); // Fourth param: euint64

const { handles, inputProof } = await input.getEncrypted();

// Use in contract call
await contract.myFunction(...handles, inputProof);

Decryption

// Request decryption
const request = await fhevm.requestDecryption(
  ciphertext,
  contractAddress
);

// Await result from gateway
const decrypted = await fhevm.awaitDecryption(request.requestId);
console.log('Decrypted value:', decrypted);

React Hooks

`useFhevm(config)`

Initialize FHEVM instance with React.

const { fhevm, isLoading, error } = useFhevm({
  network: NETWORKS.sepolia,
  provider
});

Returns:

fhevm: FhevmInstance | null
isLoading: boolean
error: Error | null

`useEncrypt(fhevm)`

Encrypt values with React.

const { encrypt, encrypted, isLoading, error } = useEncrypt(fhevm);

await encrypt({ type: 'euint32', value: 12345 });

Returns:

encrypt: (input: { type, value }) => Promise
encrypted: string | null
isLoading: boolean
error: Error | null

`useEncryptedInput(fhevm, contractAddress, userAddress)`

Create encrypted inputs with React.

const { createInput, encryptedInput, isLoading } = useEncryptedInput(
  fhevm,
  contractAddress,
  userAddress
);

const input = fhevm.createEncryptedInput(contractAddress, userAddress)
  .add32(500)
  .add8(10);

const encrypted = await createInput(input);

Returns:
