# Can I Use a KernelClient with Ethers? (/sdk/v5_3_x/faqs/use-with-ethers)

<VersionWarning version="5.3.x" />

Our KernelClient implements the Viem WalletClient interface. Although it is not directly compatible with Ethers.js, we have developed an EIP1193Provider that accepts a KernelClient as a constructor parameter. This provider enables the use of KernelClient with Ethers.js in a similar manner to how window\.ethereum is utilized with Ethers.js.

Below is an example demonstrating how to use a KernelClient with the EIP1193Provider. This example assumes you are familiar with the creating of a KernelClient. For detailed instructions on creating a KernelClient, please refer to our [API docs](/sdk/core-api/create-account).

```typescript
import { KernelEIP1193Provider } from '@zerodev/sdk/providers';
import { ethers } from 'ethers';

// Ensure to initialize your KernelClient here
const kernelClient = …;

// Initialize the KernelEIP1193Provider with your KernelClient
const kernelProvider = new KernelEIP1193Provider(kernelClient);

// Use the KernelProvider with ethers
const ethersProvider = new ethers.BrowserProvider(kernelProvider);
const signer = await ethersProvider.getSigner();
```
