Writing Blockchain Clients in Swift
summary
Current iOS options require using Java, JavaScript, Go or generated Objective‑C bindings (examples: web3js, web3j), or embedding WebKit/React Native; there is no Swift aetherium client today. Mobile apps can run a light node using a Patricia Merkle tree and call smart contracts compiled to EVM bytecode, or proxy requests to remote nodes. The concrete opportunity is a native Swift framework that exposes accounts, contracts, signing, and UI modules (universal login, web3 UIKit) with native performance and simpler integration.
