# transformEIP1193Provider

> Function to transform an EIP1193 provider into an Abstract Global Wallet client.

The `transformEIP1193Provider` function transforms a standard [EIP1193 provider](https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-1193)
into an Abstract Global Wallet (AGW) compatible provider.
This allows you to use existing wallet providers with Abstract Global Wallet.

## Import

```tsx theme={null}
import { transformEIP1193Provider } from "@abstract-foundation/agw-client";
```

## Usage

```tsx theme={null}
import { transformEIP1193Provider } from "@abstract-foundation/agw-client";
import { abstractTestnet } from "viem/chains";
import { getDefaultProvider } from "ethers";

// Assume we have an EIP1193 provider
const originalProvider = getDefaultProvider();

const agwProvider = transformEIP1193Provider({
  provider: originalProvider,
  chain: abstractTestnet,
});

// Now you can use agwProvider as a drop-in replacement
```

## Parameters

<ResponseField name="options" type="TransformEIP1193ProviderOptions" required>
  An object containing the following properties:

  <Expandable title="properties">
    <ResponseField name="provider" type="EIP1193Provider" required>
      The original EIP1193 provider to be transformed.
    </ResponseField>

    <ResponseField name="chain" type="Chain" required>
      The blockchain network to connect to.
    </ResponseField>

    <ResponseField name="transport" type="Transport" optional>
      An optional custom transport layer. If not provided, it will use the
      default transport based on the provider.
    </ResponseField>
  </Expandable>
</ResponseField>

## Returns

An `EIP1193Provider` instance with modified behavior for specific JSON-RPC methods to be compatible with the Abstract Global Wallet.

## How it works

The `transformEIP1193Provider` function wraps the original provider and intercepts specific Ethereum JSON-RPC methods:

1. `eth_accounts`: Returns the smart account address along with the original signer address.
2. `eth_signTransaction` and `eth_sendTransaction`:
   * If the transaction is from the original signer, it passes through to the original provider.
   * If it's from the smart account, it uses the AGW client to handle the transaction.

For all other methods, it passes the request through to the original provider.
