Checking EVM Wallet Account Type

Some EVM methods require you to pass a EVM WalletAccount object. If you want to check if a certain wallet account is a EVM WalletAccount, you can use the isEvmWalletAccount helper method to avoid type errors.

import { isEvmWalletAccount } from '@dynamic-labs-sdk/evm';
import { createWalletClientForWalletAccount } from '@dynamic-labs-sdk/evm/viem';

const sendTransaction = async (walletAccount, transaction) => {
  if (!isEvmWalletAccount(walletAccount)) {
    throw new Error('This wallet account is not a EVM wallet account');
  }

  const walletClient = await createWalletClientForWalletAccount({ walletAccount });
  const result = await walletClient.sendTransaction(transaction);
  console.log('Transaction sent:', result);

  // ...
}

React

isEvmWalletAccount is a synchronous type guard that works the same in React. Use it inside callbacks or to filter wallet accounts reactively:

import { isEvmWalletAccount } from '@dynamic-labs-sdk/evm';
import { useGetWalletAccounts } from '@dynamic-labs-sdk/react-hooks';

function EvmWalletDisplay() {
  const { data: walletAccounts = [] } = useGetWalletAccounts();
  const evmAccount = walletAccounts.find(isEvmWalletAccount);

  if (!evmAccount) return <p>No EVM wallet connected</p>;
  return <p>EVM address: {evmAccount.address}</p>;
}
