Magical backend scaling solution for apps on Ethereum: Create backend wallets & make unlimited blockchain transactions using an open-source HTTP server on any EVM.

I wanted to share a pretty exciting release from thirdweb!

Engine is an open-source HTTP server that makes it easy for developers to launch scalable web3 apps.

Engine provides a blockchain server with a simple API interface that lets developers create backend wallets and make unlimited blockchain transactions using familiar HTTP calls to any EVM chain.

Engine is a self-hosted, open-source, and free web3 API. One magical docker image that does it all.

Pure client-to-blockchain apps have their place but cannot scale to production-grade apps. Pro apps leave the heavy lifting to the backend, and web3 apps are no different.

But interacting with the blockchain from the backend has a lot of gotchas and new concepts: managing nonces, funds, wallets, gas spikes, retries, etc.

Add transaction batching, webhooks, monitoring, alerting, and now you have a solid web3 infra.

Engine packs ALL of that in a single package. Just deploy it on your infra and plug in a postgres DB.
