Managing EVM Chains

The chains are not handled as decimals or hex strings by the NodeJS SDK. Rather, treats these chains as distinct class instances known as “Moralis data types.”

Install @moralisweb3/evm-utils dependency for handling EVM chains.

We can launch a fresh instance of Ethereum using either of the following methods:

const chain = EvmChain.ETHEREUM; // You need to provide chain name
OR
EvmChain.create(1); // You need to provide chain Id in either hex or decimal

We can access various information with the class instance we built.

Moralis Authentication

We must use two techniques to authenticate using the SDK:

1. Moralis.Auth.requestMessage

It returns a message that must be signed by the user.

2. Moralis.Auth.verify

It verifies the message signed by the user.
